ToDo/Notes:
- Find and fix bugs.
- - Checkpoint or disable the user space journal ($UsnJrnl).
- In between ntfs_prepare/commit_write, need exclusion between
simultaneous file extensions. This is given to us by holding i_sem
on the inode. The only places in the kernel when a file is resized
compiled without debug. This avoids a possible denial of service
attack. Thanks to Carl-Daniel Hailfinger from SuSE for pointing this
out.
+ - Fix compilation warnings on ia64. (Randy Dunlap)
- Use i_size_read() in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_set().
- Use i_size_read() in fs/ntfs/logfile.c::ntfs_{check,empty}_logfile().
- Use i_size_read() once and then use the cached value in
this only works until the data attribute becomes too big for the mft
record after which we abort the write returning -EOPNOTSUPP from
ntfs_prepare_write().
+ - Add disable_sparse mount option together with a per volume sparse
+ enable bit which is set appropriately and a per inode sparse disable
+ bit which is preset on some system file inodes as appropriate.
+ - Enforce that sparse support is disabled on NTFS volumes pre 3.0.
+ - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress() in
+ the creation of the unmapped runlist element for the base attribute
+ extent.
+ - Split ntfs_map_runlist() into ntfs_map_runlist() and a non-locking
+ helper ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() which is used by ntfs_map_runlist().
+ This allows us to map runlist fragments with the runlist lock already
+ held without having to drop and reacquire it around the call. Adapt
+ all callers.
+ - Change ntfs_find_vcn() to ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() which takes a locked
+ runlist. This allows us to find runlist elements with the runlist
+ lock already held without having to drop and reacquire it around the
+ call. Adapt all callers.
+ - Change time to u64 in time.h::ntfs2utc() as it otherwise generates a
+ warning in the do_div() call on sparc32. Thanks to Meelis Roos for
+ the report and analysis of the warning.
+ - Fix a nasty runlist merge bug when merging two holes.
+ - Set the ntfs_inode->allocated_size to the real allocated size in the
+ mft record for resident attributes (fs/ntfs/inode.c).
+ - Small readability cleanup to use "a" instead of "ctx->attr"
+ everywhere (fs/ntfs/inode.c).
+ - Make fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_get_{parent,dentry} static and move the
+ definition of ntfs_export_ops from fs/ntfs/super.c to namei.c. Also,
+ declare ntfs_export_ops in fs/ntfs/ntfs.h.
+ - Correct sparse file handling. The compressed values need to be
+ checked and set in the ntfs inode as done for compressed files and
+ the compressed size needs to be used for vfs inode->i_blocks instead
+ of the allocated size, again, as done for compressed files.
+ - Add AT_EA in addition to AT_DATA to whitelist for being allowed to be
+ non-resident in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident().
+ - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() used by the new
+ write code.
+ - Fix bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() where after
+ dropping the read lock and taking the write lock we were not checking
+ whether someone else did not already do the work we wanted to do.
+ - Rename fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() to
+ ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() and update all callers.
+ - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_make_non_resident().
+ - Fix sign of various error return values to be negative in
+ fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c.
+ - Modify ->readpage and ->writepage (fs/ntfs/aops.c) so they detect and
+ handle the case where an attribute is converted from resident to
+ non-resident by a concurrent file write.
+ - Remove checks for NULL before calling kfree() since kfree() does the
+ checking itself. (Jesper Juhl)
+ - Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum.
+ Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to
+ only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than
+ refusing the mount. Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this
+ problem out.
+ - Update attribute definition handling.
+ - Add NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE and NTFS_MAX_PAGES_PER_CLUSTER constants.
+ - Use NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE in super.c instead of hard coding 0x10000.
+ - Use MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE instead of variable sized array allocation for
+ better code generation and one less sparse warning in fs/ntfs/aops.c.
+ - Remove spurious void pointer casts from fs/ntfs/. (Pekka Enberg)
+ - Use C99 style structure initialization after memory allocation where
+ possible (fs/ntfs/{attrib.c,index.c,super.c}). Thanks to Al Viro and
+ Pekka Enberg.
+ - Stamp the transaction log ($UsnJrnl), aka user space journal, if it
+ is active on the volume and we are mounting read-write or remounting
+ from read-only to read-write.
+ - Fix a bug in address space operations error recovery code paths where
+ if the runlist was not mapped at all and a mapping error occured we
+ would leave the runlist locked on exit to the function so that the
+ next access to the same file would try to take the lock and deadlock.
+ - Detect the case when Windows has been suspended to disk on the volume
+ to be mounted and if this is the case do not allow (re)mounting
+ read-write. This is done by parsing hiberfil.sys if present.
2.1.22 - Many bug and race fixes and error handling improvements.
- Further runlist merging work. (Richard Russon)
- Backwards compatibility for gcc-2.95. (Richard Russon)
- Update to kernel 2.5.5-pre1 and rediff the now tiny patch.
- - Convert to new file system declaration using ->ntfs_get_sb() and
+ - Convert to new filesystem declaration using ->ntfs_get_sb() and
replacing ntfs_read_super() with ntfs_fill_super().
- Set s_maxbytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE to avoid page cache page index
overflow on 32-bit architectures.
The driver is now actually useful! Yey. (-: It undoubtedly has got bugs
though and it doesn't implement accesssing compressed files yet. Also,
accessing files with attribute list attributes is not implemented yet
- either. But for small or simple file systems it should work and allow
+ either. But for small or simple filesystems it should work and allow
you to list directories, use stat on directory entries and the file
system, open, read, mmap and llseek around in files. A big mile stone
has been reached!
tng-0.0.0 - Initial version tag.
Initial driver implementation. The driver can mount and umount simple
- NTFS file systems (i.e. ones without attribute lists in the system
+ NTFS filesystems (i.e. ones without attribute lists in the system
files). If the mount fails there might be problems in the error handling
code paths, so be warned. Otherwise it seems to be loading the system
files nicely and the mft record read mapping/unmapping seems to be
