| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | 	- In between ntfs_prepare/commit_write, need exclusion between | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | 66129f8 | 2004-11-11 12:34:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | 	  simultaneous file extensions.  This is given to us by holding i_sem | 
 | 5 | 	  on the inode.  The only places in the kernel when a file is resized | 
 | 6 | 	  are prepare/commit write and truncate for both of which i_sem is | 
 | 7 | 	  held.  Just have to be careful in readpage/writepage and all other | 
 | 8 | 	  helpers not running under i_sem that we play nice... | 
 | 9 | 	  Also need to be careful with initialized_size extention in | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | 	  ntfs_prepare_write. Basically, just be _very_ careful in this code... | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | 66129f8 | 2004-11-11 12:34:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | 	  UPDATE: The only things that need to be checked are read/writepage | 
 | 12 | 	  which do not hold i_sem.  Note writepage cannot change i_size but it | 
 | 13 | 	  needs to cope with a concurrent i_size change, just like readpage. | 
 | 14 | 	  Also both need to cope with concurrent changes to the other sizes, | 
 | 15 | 	  i.e. initialized/allocated/compressed size, as well. | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | 	- Implement mft.c::sync_mft_mirror_umount().  We currently will just | 
 | 17 | 	  leave the volume dirty on umount if the final iput(vol->mft_ino) | 
 | 18 | 	  causes a write of any mirrored mft records due to the mft mirror | 
 | 19 | 	  inode having been discarded already.  Whether this can actually ever | 
 | 20 | 	  happen is unclear however so it is worth waiting until someone hits | 
 | 21 | 	  the problem. | 
 | 22 | 	- Enable the code for setting the NT4 compatibility flag when we start | 
 | 23 | 	  making NTFS 1.2 specific modifications. |

 | 26 |  | 
 | 27 | 	- Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk.  This | 
 | 28 | 	  means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty. | 
 | 29 | 	  The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot.  The user can then | 
 | 30 | 	  immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows | 
 | 31 | 	  boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a | 
 | 32 | 	  journal and empty it as it is clean by definition. | 
 | 33 | 	- Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as | 
 | 34 | 	  journals with two different restart pages.  We sanity check both and | 
 | 35 | 	  either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the | 
 | 36 | 	  case that both are valid. | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | 06d0e3c | 2005-09-08 16:28:25 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs() to do the kmalloc() based | 
 | 38 | 	  allocations with __GFP_HIGHMEM, analogous to how the vmalloc() based | 
 | 39 | 	  allocations are done. | 
 | 40 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to | 
 | 41 | 	  ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and | 
 | 42 | 	  hence cannot fail. |

| Anton Altaparmakov | c002f42 | 2005-02-03 12:02:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 70 | 	- Add disable_sparse mount option together with a per volume sparse |

| Anton Altaparmakov | b6ad6c5 | 2005-02-15 10:08:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | 	- Split ntfs_map_runlist() into ntfs_map_runlist() and a non-locking | 
 | 78 | 	  helper ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() which is used by ntfs_map_runlist(). | 
 | 79 | 	  This allows us to map runlist fragments with the runlist lock already | 
 | 80 | 	  held without having to drop and reacquire it around the call.  Adapt | 
 | 81 | 	  all callers. | 
 | 82 | 	- Change ntfs_find_vcn() to ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() which takes a locked |

| Anton Altaparmakov | 9451f85 | 2005-03-03 14:43:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | 	- Correct sparse file handling.  The compressed values need to be |

| Anton Altaparmakov | 271849a | 2005-03-07 21:36:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 101 | 	- Add AT_EA in addition to AT_DATA to whitelist for being allowed to be |

| Anton Altaparmakov | ba6d237 | 2005-06-26 22:12:02 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 159 | 	- Fix a nasty deadlock that appeared in recent kernels. | 
 | 160 | 	  The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty.  For | 
 | 161 | 	  same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk | 
 | 162 | 	  inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging | 
 | 163 | 	  to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0. | 
 | 164 | 	  What happens: | 
 | 165 | 	  Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever...  calls | 
 | 166 | 	  __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for | 
 | 167 | 	  the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked | 
 | 168 | 	  -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to | 
 | 169 | 	  prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out. | 
 | 170 | 	  This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before | 
 | 171 | 	  the write to disk which are removed again after the write and | 
 | 172 | 	  PageUptodate is then set again.  It then analyses the page looking | 
 | 173 | 	  for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls | 
 | 174 | 	  ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this | 
 | 175 | 	  on-disk inode.  This then calls ilookup5() to check if the | 
 | 176 | 	  corresponding VFS inode is in icache().  This in turn calls ifind() | 
 | 177 | 	  which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the | 
 | 178 | 	  global inode_lock. | 
 | 179 | 	  Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the | 
 | 180 | 	  same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume.  This locks the inode (I_LOCK) | 
 | 181 | 	  then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> | 
 | 182 | 	  read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes | 
 | 183 | 	  $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode.  This page has | 
 | 184 | 	  PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so | 
 | 185 | 	  read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the | 
 | 186 | 	  page so it can call ntfs_read_page(). | 
 | 187 | 	  Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the | 
 | 188 | 	  on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in | 
 | 189 | 	  ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page. | 
 | 190 | 	  And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for | 
 | 191 | 	  the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover | 
 | 192 | 	  that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page. | 
 | 193 | 	  Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock. | 
 | 194 | 	  The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced | 
 | 195 | 	  ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence | 
 | 196 | 	  avoids the deadlock.  This is safe as we do not care about the VFS | 
 | 197 | 	  inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the | 
 | 198 | 	  fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find | 
 | 199 | 	  the ntfs inode in memory if present.  Also, the ntfs inode has its | 
 | 200 | 	  own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked. |

 | 213 | 	- Fix min_size and max_size definitions in ATTR_DEF structure in | 
 | 214 | 	  fs/ntfs/layout.h to be signed. | 
 | 215 | 	- Add attribute definition handling helpers to fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]: | 
 | 216 | 	  ntfs_attr_size_bounds_check(), ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident(), and | 
 | 217 | 	  ntfs_attr_can_be_resident(), which in turn use the new private helper | 
 | 218 | 	  ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef(). | 
 | 219 | 	- In fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty(), take the | 
 | 220 | 	  mapping->private_lock around the dirtying of the buffer heads | 
 | 221 | 	  analagous to the way it is done in __set_page_dirty_buffers(). | 
 | 222 | 	- Ensure the mft record size does not exceed the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at | 
 | 223 | 	  mount time as this cannot work with the current implementation. | 
 | 224 | 	- Check for location of attribute name and improve error handling in | 
 | 225 | 	  general in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() and friends. | 
 | 226 | 	- In fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage(), if the page is fully outside | 
 | 227 | 	  i_size, i.e. race with truncate, invalidate the buffers on the page | 
 | 228 | 	  so that they become freeable and hence the page does not leak. | 
 | 229 | 	- Remove unused function fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_rl_merge().  (Adrian | 
 | 230 | 	  Bunk) | 
 | 231 | 	- Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_find() that resulted in | 
 | 232 | 	  a NULL pointer dereference in the error code path when a corrupt | 
 | 233 | 	  attribute was found.  (Thanks to Domen Puncer for the bug report.) | 
 | 234 | 	- Add MODULE_VERSION() to fs/ntfs/super.c. | 
 | 235 | 	- Make several functions and variables static.  (Adrian Bunk) | 
 | 236 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() so it allocates | 
 | 237 | 	  buffers for the page if they are not present and then marks the | 
 | 238 | 	  buffers belonging to the ntfs record dirty.  This causes the buffers | 
 | 239 | 	  to become busy and hence they are safe from removal until the page | 
 | 240 | 	  has been written out. | 
 | 241 | 	- Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_external_attr_find() in the | 
 | 242 | 	  error handling code path that resulted in a BUG() due to trying to | 
 | 243 | 	  unmap an extent mft record when the mapping of it had failed and it | 
 | 244 | 	  thus was not mapped.  (Thanks to Ken MacFerrin for the bug report.) | 
 | 245 | 	- Drop the runlist lock after the vcn has been read in | 
 | 246 | 	  fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c::__ntfs_cluster_free(). | 
 | 247 | 	- Rewrite handling of multi sector transfer errors.  We now do not set | 
 | 248 | 	  PageError() when such errors are detected in the async i/o handler | 
 | 249 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_end_buffer_async_read().  All users of mst | 
 | 250 | 	  protected attributes now check the magic of each ntfs record as they | 
 | 251 | 	  use it and act appropriately.  This has the effect of making errors | 
 | 252 | 	  granular per ntfs record rather than per page which solves the case | 
 | 253 | 	  where we cannot access any of the ntfs records in a page when a | 
 | 254 | 	  single one of them had an mst error.  (Thanks to Ken MacFerrin for | 
 | 255 | 	  the bug report.) | 
 | 256 | 	- Fix error handling in fs/ntfs/quota.c::ntfs_mark_quotas_out_of_date() | 
 | 257 | 	  where we failed to release i_sem on the $Quota/$Q attribute inode. | 
 | 258 | 	- Fix bug in handling of bad inodes in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup(). | 
 | 259 | 	- Add mapping of unmapped buffers to all remaining code paths, i.e. | 
 | 260 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(), mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(), | 
 | 261 | 	  and write_mft_record_nolock().  From now on we require that the | 
 | 262 | 	  complete runlist for the mft mirror is always mapped into memory. | 
 | 263 | 	- Add creation of buffers to fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(). | 
 | 264 | 	- Improve error handling in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}_block(). | 
 | 265 | 	- Cleanup fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}page() since we know that a | 
 | 266 | 	  resident attribute will be smaller than a page which makes the code | 
 | 267 | 	  simpler.  Also make the code more tolerant to concurrent ->truncate. | 
 | 268 |  | 
 | 269 | 2.1.21 - Fix some races and bugs, rewrite mft write code, add mft allocator. | 
 | 270 |  | 
 | 271 | 	- Implement extent mft record deallocation | 
 | 272 | 	  fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_extent_mft_record_free(). | 
 | 273 | 	- Splitt runlist related functions off from attrib.[hc] to runlist.[hc]. | 
 | 274 | 	- Add vol->mft_data_pos and initialize it at mount time. | 
 | 275 | 	- Rename init_runlist() to ntfs_init_runlist(), ntfs_vcn_to_lcn() to | 
 | 276 | 	  ntfs_rl_vcn_to_lcn(), decompress_mapping_pairs() to | 
 | 277 | 	  ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(), ntfs_merge_runlists() to | 
 | 278 | 	  ntfs_runlists_merge() and adapt all callers. | 
 | 279 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/runlist.[hc]::ntfs_get_nr_significant_bytes(), | 
 | 280 | 	  ntfs_get_size_for_mapping_pairs(), ntfs_write_significant_bytes(), | 
 | 281 | 	  and ntfs_mapping_pairs_build(), adapted from libntfs. | 
 | 282 | 	- Make fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c::ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() not | 
 | 283 | 	  static and add a declaration for it to lcnalloc.h. | 
 | 284 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.h::ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl() which is a static | 
 | 285 | 	  inline wrapper for ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() which takes the | 
 | 286 | 	  cluster bitmap lock for the duration of the call. | 
 | 287 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_record_resize(). | 
 | 288 | 	- Implement the equivalent of memset() for an ntfs attribute in | 
 | 289 | 	  fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_attr_set() and switch | 
 | 290 | 	  fs/ntfs/logfile.c::ntfs_empty_logfile() to using it. | 
 | 291 | 	- Remove unnecessary casts from LCN_* constants. | 
 | 292 | 	- Implement fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock(). | 
 | 293 | 	- Add MFT_RECORD_OLD as a copy of MFT_RECORD in fs/ntfs/layout.h and | 
 | 294 | 	  change MFT_RECORD to contain the NTFS 3.1+ specific fields. | 
 | 295 | 	- Add a helper function fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() which | 
 | 296 | 	  marks all buffers belonging to an ntfs record dirty, followed by | 
 | 297 | 	  marking the page the ntfs record is in dirty and also marking the vfs | 
 | 298 | 	  inode containing the ntfs record dirty (I_DIRTY_PAGES). | 
 | 299 | 	- Switch fs/ntfs/index.h::ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() to using the | 
 | 300 | 	  new helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() and remove the no | 
 | 301 | 	  longer needed fs/ntfs/index.[hc]::__ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty(). | 
 | 302 | 	- Move ntfs_{un,}map_page() from ntfs.h to aops.h and fix resulting | 
 | 303 | 	  include errors. | 
 | 304 | 	- Move the typedefs for runlist_element and runlist from types.h to | 
 | 305 | 	  runlist.h and fix resulting include errors. | 
 | 306 | 	- Remove unused {__,}format_mft_record() from fs/ntfs/mft.c. | 
 | 307 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::__mark_mft_record_dirty() to use the helper | 
 | 308 | 	  mark_ntfs_record_dirty() which also changes the behaviour in that we | 
 | 309 | 	  now set the buffers belonging to the mft record dirty as well as the | 
 | 310 | 	  page itself. | 
 | 311 | 	- Update fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() and sync_mft_mirror() | 
 | 312 | 	  to cope with the fact that there now are dirty buffers in mft pages. | 
 | 313 | 	- Update fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode() to also use the helper | 
 | 314 | 	  mark_ntfs_record_dirty() and thus to set the buffers belonging to the | 
 | 315 | 	  mft record dirty as well as the page itself. | 
 | 316 | 	- Fix compiler warnings on x86-64 in fs/ntfs/dir.c.  (Randy Dunlap, | 
 | 317 | 	  slightly modified by me) | 
 | 318 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/mft.c::try_map_mft_record() which fails with -EALREADY if | 
 | 319 | 	  the mft record is already locked and otherwise behaves the same way | 
 | 320 | 	  as fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_mft_record(). | 
 | 321 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() so that it only | 
 | 322 | 	  writes the mft record if the buffers belonging to it are dirty. | 
 | 323 | 	  Otherwise we assume that it was written out by other means already. | 
 | 324 | 	- Attempting to write outside initialized size is _not_ a bug so remove | 
 | 325 | 	  the bug check from fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block().  It is in | 
 | 326 | 	  fact required to write outside initialized size when preparing to | 
 | 327 | 	  extend the initialized size. | 
 | 328 | 	- Map the page instead of using page_address() before writing to it in | 
 | 329 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mft_writepage(). | 
 | 330 | 	- Provide exclusion between opening an inode / mapping an mft record | 
 | 331 | 	  and accessing the mft record in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_mft_writepage() | 
 | 332 | 	  by setting the page not uptodate throughout ntfs_mft_writepage(). | 
 | 333 | 	- Clear the page uptodate flag in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() | 
 | 334 | 	  to ensure noone can see the page whilst the mst fixups are applied. | 
 | 335 | 	- Add the helper fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_may_write_mft_record() which | 
 | 336 | 	  checks if an mft record may be written out safely obtaining any | 
 | 337 | 	  necessary locks in the process.  This is used by | 
 | 338 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block(). | 
 | 339 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() to also work for | 
 | 340 | 	  writing mft records and improve its error handling in the process. | 
 | 341 | 	  Now if any of the records in the page fail to be written out, all | 
 | 342 | 	  other records will be written out instead of aborting completely. | 
 | 343 | 	- Remove ntfs_mft_aops and update all users to use ntfs_mst_aops. | 
 | 344 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() to set the | 
 | 345 | 	  ntfs_mst_aops for all inodes which are NInoMstProtected() and | 
 | 346 | 	  ntfs_aops for all other inodes. | 
 | 347 | 	- Rename fs/ntfs/mft.c::sync_mft_mirror{,_umount}() to | 
 | 348 | 	  ntfs_sync_mft_mirror{,_umount}() and change their parameters so they | 
 | 349 | 	  no longer require an ntfs inode to be present.  Update all callers. | 
 | 350 | 	- Cleanup the error handling in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror(). | 
 | 351 | 	- Clear the page uptodate flag in fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_sync_mft_mirror() | 
 | 352 | 	  to ensure noone can see the page whilst the mst fixups are applied. | 
 | 353 | 	- Remove the no longer needed fs/ntfs/mft.c::ntfs_mft_writepage() and | 
 | 354 | 	  fs/ntfs/mft.c::try_map_mft_record(). | 
 | 355 | 	- Fix callers of fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() to call it | 
 | 356 | 	  with the ntfs inode which contains the page rather than the ntfs | 
 | 357 | 	  inode the mft record of which is in the page. | 
 | 358 | 	- Fix race condition in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode() by moving the | 
 | 359 | 	  index inode bitmap inode release code from there to | 
 | 360 | 	  fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_clear_big_inode().  (Thanks to Christoph | 
 | 361 | 	  Hellwig for spotting this.) | 
 | 362 | 	- Fix race condition in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode() by taking the | 
 | 363 | 	  inode semaphore around the code that sets ni->itype.index.bmp_ino to | 
 | 364 | 	  NULL and reorganize the code to optimize it a bit.  (Thanks to | 
 | 365 | 	  Christoph Hellwig for spotting this.) | 
 | 366 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty() to no longer take the | 
 | 367 | 	  ntfs inode as a parameter as this is confusing and misleading and the | 
 | 368 | 	  needed ntfs inode is available via NTFS_I(page->mapping->host). | 
 | 369 | 	  Adapt all callers to this change. | 
 | 370 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::write_mft_record_nolock() and | 
 | 371 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() to only check the dirty state | 
 | 372 | 	  of the first buffer in a record and to take this as the ntfs record | 
 | 373 | 	  dirty state.  We cannot look at the dirty state for subsequent | 
 | 374 | 	  buffers because we might be racing with | 
 | 375 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::mark_ntfs_record_dirty(). | 
 | 376 | 	- Move the static inline ntfs_init_big_inode() from fs/ntfs/inode.c to | 
 | 377 | 	  inode.h and make fs/ntfs/inode.c::__ntfs_init_inode() non-static and | 
 | 378 | 	  add a declaration for it to inode.h.  Fix some compilation issues | 
 | 379 | 	  that resulted due to #includes and header file interdependencies. | 
 | 380 | 	- Simplify setup of i_mode in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode(). | 
 | 381 | 	- Add helpers fs/ntfs/layout.h::MK_MREF() and MK_LE_MREF(). | 
 | 382 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_extent_mft_record() to only verify the mft | 
 | 383 | 	  record sequence number if it is specified (i.e. not zero). | 
 | 384 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/mft.[hc]::ntfs_mft_record_alloc() and various helper | 
 | 385 | 	  functions used by it. | 
 | 386 | 	- Update Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt with instructions on how to | 
 | 387 | 	  use the Device-Mapper driver with NTFS ftdisk/LDM raid.  This removes | 
 | 388 | 	  the linear raid problem with the Software RAID / MD driver when one | 
 | 389 | 	  or more of the devices has an odd number of sectors. | 
 | 390 |  | 
 | 391 | 2.1.20 - Fix two stupid bugs introduced in 2.1.18 release. | 
 | 392 |  | 
 | 393 | 	- Fix stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_attr_reinit_search_ctx() | 
 | 394 | 	  where we did not clear ctx->al_entry but it was still set due to | 
 | 395 | 	  changes in ntfs_attr_lookup() and ntfs_external_attr_find() in | 
 | 396 | 	  particular. | 
 | 397 | 	- Fix another stupid bug in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::ntfs_external_attr_find() | 
 | 398 | 	  where we forgot to unmap the extent mft record when we had finished | 
 | 399 | 	  enumerating an attribute which caused a bug check to trigger when the | 
 | 400 | 	  VFS calls ->clear_inode. | 
 | 401 |  | 
 | 402 | 2.1.19 - Many cleanups, improvements, and a minor bug fix. | 
 | 403 |  | 
 | 404 | 	- Update ->setattr (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_setattr()) to refuse to | 
 | 405 | 	  change the uid, gid, and mode of an inode as we do not support NTFS | 
 | 406 | 	  ACLs yet. | 
 | 407 | 	- Remove BKL use from ntfs_setattr() syncing up with the rest of the | 
 | 408 | 	  kernel. | 
 | 409 | 	- Get rid of the ugly transparent union in fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_readdir() | 
 | 410 | 	  and ntfs_filldir() as per suggestion from Al Viro. | 
 | 411 | 	- Change '\0' and L'\0' to simply 0 as per advice from Linus Torvalds. | 
 | 412 | 	- Update ->truncate (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate()) to check if the | 
 | 413 | 	  inode size has changed and to only output an error if so. | 
 | 414 | 	- Rename fs/ntfs/attrib.h::attribute_value_length() to ntfs_attr_size(). | 
 | 415 | 	- Add le{16,32,64} as well as sle{16,32,64} data types to | 
 | 416 | 	  fs/ntfs/types.h. | 
 | 417 | 	- Change ntfschar to be le16 instead of u16 in fs/ntfs/types.h. | 
 | 418 | 	- Add le versions of VCN, LCN, and LSN called leVCN, leLCN, and leLSN, | 
 | 419 | 	  respectively, to fs/ntfs/types.h. | 
 | 420 | 	- Update endianness conversion macros in fs/ntfs/endian.h to use the | 
 | 421 | 	  new types as appropriate. | 
 | 422 | 	- Do proper type casting when using sle64_to_cpup() in fs/ntfs/dir.c | 
 | 423 | 	  and index.c. | 
 | 424 | 	- Add leMFT_REF data type to fs/ntfs/layout.h. | 
 | 425 | 	- Update all NTFS header files with the new little endian data types. | 
 | 426 | 	  Affected files are fs/ntfs/layout.h, logfile.h, and time.h. | 
 | 427 | 	- Do proper type casting when using ntfs_is_*_recordp() in | 
 | 428 | 	  fs/ntfs/logfile.c, mft.c, and super.c.  | 
 | 429 | 	- Fix all the sparse bitwise warnings.  Had to change all the typedef | 
 | 430 | 	  enums storing little endian values to simple enums plus a typedef for | 
 | 431 | 	  the datatype to make sparse happy. | 
 | 432 | 	- Fix a bug found by the new sparse bitwise warnings where the default | 
 | 433 | 	  upcase table was defined as a pointer to wchar_t rather than ntfschar | 
 | 434 | 	  in fs/ntfs/ntfs.h and super.c. | 
 | 435 | 	- Change {const_,}cpu_to_le{16,32}(0) to just 0 as suggested by Al Viro. | 
 | 436 |  | 
 | 437 | 2.1.18 - Fix scheduling latencies at mount time as well as an endianness bug. | 
 | 438 |  | 
 | 439 | 	- Remove vol->nr_mft_records as it was pretty meaningless and optimize | 
 | 440 | 	  the calculation of total/free inodes as used by statfs(). | 
 | 441 | 	- Fix scheduling latencies in ntfs_fill_super() by dropping the BKL | 
 | 442 | 	  because the code itself is using the ntfs_lock semaphore which | 
 | 443 | 	  provides safe locking.  (Ingo Molnar) | 
 | 444 | 	- Fix a potential bug in fs/ntfs/mft.c::map_extent_mft_record() that | 
 | 445 | 	  could occur in the future for when we start closing/freeing extent | 
 | 446 | 	  inodes if we don't set base_ni->ext.extent_ntfs_inos to NULL after | 
 | 447 | 	  we free it. | 
 | 448 | 	- Rename {find,lookup}_attr() to ntfs_attr_{find,lookup}() as well as | 
 | 449 | 	  find_external_attr() to ntfs_external_attr_find() to cleanup the | 
 | 450 | 	  namespace a bit and to be more consistent with libntfs. | 
 | 451 | 	- Rename {{re,}init,get,put}_attr_search_ctx() to | 
 | 452 | 	  ntfs_attr_{{re,}init,get,put}_search_ctx() as well as the type | 
 | 453 | 	  attr_search_context to ntfs_attr_search_ctx. | 
 | 454 | 	- Force use of ntfs_attr_find() in ntfs_attr_lookup() when searching | 
 | 455 | 	  for the attribute list attribute itself. | 
 | 456 | 	- Fix endianness bug in ntfs_external_attr_find(). | 
 | 457 | 	- Change ntfs_{external_,}attr_find() to return 0 on success, -ENOENT | 
 | 458 | 	  if the attribute is not found, and -EIO on real error.  In the case | 
 | 459 | 	  of -ENOENT, the search context is updated to describe the attribute | 
 | 460 | 	  before which the attribute being searched for would need to be | 
 | 461 | 	  inserted if such an action were to be desired and in the case of | 
 | 462 | 	  ntfs_external_attr_find() the search context is also updated to | 
 | 463 | 	  indicate the attribute list entry before which the attribute list | 
 | 464 | 	  entry of the attribute being searched for would need to be inserted | 
 | 465 | 	  if such an action were to be desired.  Also make ntfs_find_attr() | 
 | 466 | 	  static and remove its prototype from attrib.h as it is not used | 
 | 467 | 	  anywhere other than attrib.c.  Update ntfs_attr_lookup() and all | 
 | 468 | 	  callers of ntfs_{external,}attr_{find,lookup}() for the new return | 
 | 469 | 	  values. | 
 | 470 | 	- Minor cleanup of fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_init_locked_inode(). | 
 | 471 |  | 
 | 472 | 2.1.17 - Fix bugs in mount time error code paths and other updates. | 
 | 473 |  | 
 | 474 | 	- Implement bitmap modification code (fs/ntfs/bitmap.[hc]).  This | 
 | 475 | 	  includes functions to set/clear a single bit or a run of bits. | 
 | 476 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_find_vcn() which returns the locked | 
 | 477 | 	  runlist element containing a particular vcn.  It also takes care of | 
 | 478 | 	  mapping any needed runlist fragments. | 
 | 479 | 	- Implement cluster (de-)allocation code (fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.[hc]). | 
 | 480 | 	- Load attribute definition table from $AttrDef at mount time. | 
 | 481 | 	- Fix bugs in mount time error code paths involving (de)allocation of | 
 | 482 | 	  the default and volume upcase tables. | 
 | 483 | 	- Remove ntfs_nr_mounts as it is no longer used. | 
 | 484 |  | 
 | 485 | 2.1.16 - Implement access time updates, file sync, async io, and read/writev. | 
 | 486 |  | 
 | 487 | 	- Add support for readv/writev and aio_read/aio_write (fs/ntfs/file.c). | 
 | 488 | 	  This is done by setting the appropriate file operations pointers to | 
 | 489 | 	  the generic helper functions provided by mm/filemap.c. | 
 | 490 | 	- Implement fsync, fdatasync, and msync both for files (fs/ntfs/file.c) | 
 | 491 | 	  and directories (fs/ntfs/dir.c). | 
 | 492 | 	- Add support for {a,m,c}time updates to inode.c::ntfs_write_inode(). | 
 | 493 | 	  Note, except for the root directory and any other system files opened | 
 | 494 | 	  by the user, the system files will not have their access times | 
 | 495 | 	  updated as they are only accessed at the inode level an hence the | 
 | 496 | 	  file level functions which cause the times to be updated are never | 
 | 497 | 	  invoked. | 
 | 498 |  | 
 | 499 | 2.1.15 - Invalidate quotas when (re)mounting read-write. | 
 | 500 |  | 
 | 501 | 	- Add new element itype.index.collation_rule to the ntfs inode | 
 | 502 | 	  structure and set it appropriately in ntfs_read_locked_inode(). | 
 | 503 | 	- Implement a new inode type "index" to allow efficient access to the | 
 | 504 | 	  indices found in various system files and adapt inode handling | 
 | 505 | 	  accordingly (fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]).  An index inode is essentially an | 
 | 506 | 	  attribute inode (NInoAttr() is true) with an attribute type of | 
 | 507 | 	  AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION.  As such, it is no longer allowed to call | 
 | 508 | 	  ntfs_attr_iget() with an attribute type of AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION as | 
 | 509 | 	  there would be no way to distinguish between normal attribute inodes | 
 | 510 | 	  and index inodes.  The function to obtain an index inode is | 
 | 511 | 	  ntfs_index_iget() and it uses the helper function | 
 | 512 | 	  ntfs_read_locked_index_inode().  Note, we do not overload | 
 | 513 | 	  ntfs_attr_iget() as indices consist of multiple attributes so using | 
 | 514 | 	  ntfs_attr_iget() to obtain an index inode would be confusing. | 
 | 515 | 	- Ensure that there is no overflow when doing page->index << | 
 | 516 | 	  PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT by casting page->index to s64 in fs/ntfs/aops.c. | 
 | 517 | 	- Use atomic kmap instead of kmap() in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_page() | 
 | 518 | 	  and ntfs_read_block(). | 
 | 519 | 	- Use case sensitive attribute lookups instead of case insensitive ones. | 
 | 520 | 	- Lock all page cache pages belonging to mst protected attributes while | 
 | 521 | 	  accessing them to ensure we never see corrupt data while the page is | 
 | 522 | 	  under writeout. | 
 | 523 | 	- Add framework for generic ntfs collation (fs/ntfs/collation.[hc]). | 
 | 524 | 	  We have ntfs_is_collation_rule_supported() to check if the collation | 
 | 525 | 	  rule you want to use is supported and ntfs_collation() which actually | 
 | 526 | 	  collates two data items.  We currently only support COLLATION_BINARY | 
 | 527 | 	  and COLLATION_NTOFS_ULONG but support for other collation rules will | 
 | 528 | 	  be added as the need arises. | 
 | 529 | 	- Add a new type, ntfs_index_context, to allow retrieval of an index | 
 | 530 | 	  entry using the corresponding index key.  To get an index context, | 
 | 531 | 	  use ntfs_index_ctx_get() and to release it, use ntfs_index_ctx_put(). | 
 | 532 | 	  This also adds a new slab cache for the index contexts.  To lookup a | 
 | 533 | 	  key in an index inode, use ntfs_index_lookup().  After modifying an | 
 | 534 | 	  index entry, call ntfs_index_entry_flush_dcache_page() followed by | 
 | 535 | 	  ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() to ensure the changes are written out | 
 | 536 | 	  to disk.  For details see fs/ntfs/index.[hc].  Note, at present, if | 
 | 537 | 	  an index entry is in the index allocation attribute rather than the | 
 | 538 | 	  index root attribute it will not be written out (you will get a | 
 | 539 | 	  warning message about discarded changes instead). | 
 | 540 | 	- Load the quota file ($Quota) and check if quota tracking is enabled | 
 | 541 | 	  and if so, mark the quotas out of date.  This causes windows to | 
 | 542 | 	  rescan the volume on boot and update all quota entries. | 
 | 543 | 	- Add a set_page_dirty address space operation for ntfs_m[fs]t_aops. | 
 | 544 | 	  It is simply set to __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to make sure that | 
 | 545 | 	  running set_page_dirty() on a page containing mft/ntfs records will | 
 | 546 | 	  not affect the dirty state of the page buffers. | 
 | 547 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/index.c::__ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() which sets all | 
 | 548 | 	  buffers that are inside the ntfs record in the page dirty after which | 
 | 549 | 	  it sets the page dirty.  This allows ->writepage to only write the | 
 | 550 | 	  dirty index records rather than having to write all the records in | 
 | 551 | 	  the page.  Modify fs/ntfs/index.h::ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty() to | 
 | 552 | 	  use this rather than __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(). | 
 | 553 | 	- Implement fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_mst_block() which enables the | 
 | 554 | 	  writing of page cache pages belonging to mst protected attributes | 
 | 555 | 	  like the index allocation attribute in directory indices and other | 
 | 556 | 	  indices like $Quota/$Q, etc.  This means that the quota is now marked | 
 | 557 | 	  out of date on all volumes rather than only on ones where the quota | 
 | 558 | 	  defaults entry is in the index root attribute of the $Quota/$Q index. | 
 | 559 |  | 
 | 560 | 2.1.14 - Fix an NFSd caused deadlock reported by several users. | 
 | 561 |  | 
 | 562 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/ntfs_readdir() to copy the index root attribute value | 
 | 563 | 	  to a buffer so that we can put the search context and unmap the mft | 
 | 564 | 	  record before calling the filldir() callback.  We need to do this | 
 | 565 | 	  because of NFSd which calls ->lookup() from its filldir callback() | 
 | 566 | 	  and this causes NTFS to deadlock as ntfs_lookup() maps the mft record | 
 | 567 | 	  of the directory and since ntfs_readdir() has got it mapped already | 
 | 568 | 	  ntfs_lookup() deadlocks. | 
 | 569 |  | 
 | 570 | 2.1.13 - Enable overwriting of resident files and housekeeping of system files. | 
 | 571 |  | 
 | 572 | 	- Implement writing of mft records (fs/ntfs/mft.[hc]), which includes | 
 | 573 | 	  keeping the mft mirror in sync with the mft when mirrored mft records | 
 | 574 | 	  are written.  The functions are write_mft_record{,_nolock}().  The | 
 | 575 | 	  implementation is quite rudimentary for now with lots of things not | 
 | 576 | 	  implemented yet but I am not sure any of them can actually occur so | 
 | 577 | 	  I will wait for people to hit each one and only then implement it. | 
 | 578 | 	- Commit open system inodes at umount time.  This should make it | 
 | 579 | 	  virtually impossible for sync_mft_mirror_umount() to ever be needed. | 
 | 580 | 	- Implement ->write_inode (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode()) for the | 
 | 581 | 	  ntfs super operations.  This gives us inode writing via the VFS inode | 
 | 582 | 	  dirty code paths.  Note:  Access time updates are not implemented yet. | 
 | 583 | 	- Implement fs/ntfs/mft.[hc]::{,__}mark_mft_record_dirty() and make | 
 | 584 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage() and ntfs_commit_write() use it, thus | 
 | 585 | 	  finally enabling resident file overwrite!  (-8  This also includes a | 
 | 586 | 	  placeholder for ->writepage (ntfs_mft_writepage()), which for now | 
 | 587 | 	  just redirties the page and returns.  Also, at umount time, we for | 
 | 588 | 	  now throw away all mft data page cache pages after the last call to | 
 | 589 | 	  ntfs_commit_inode() in the hope that all inodes will have been | 
 | 590 | 	  written out by then and hence no dirty (meta)data will be lost.  We | 
 | 591 | 	  also check for this case and emit an error message telling the user | 
 | 592 | 	  to run chkdsk. | 
 | 593 | 	- Use set_page_writeback() and end_page_writeback() in the resident | 
 | 594 | 	  attribute code path of fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage() otherwise | 
 | 595 | 	  the radix-tree tag PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY remains set even though the | 
 | 596 | 	  page is clean. | 
 | 597 | 	- Implement ntfs_mft_writepage() so it now checks if any of the mft | 
 | 598 | 	  records in the page are dirty and if so redirties the page and | 
 | 599 | 	  returns.  Otherwise it just returns (after doing set_page_writeback(), | 
 | 600 | 	  unlock_page(), end_page_writeback() or the radix-tree tag | 
 | 601 | 	  PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY remains set even though the page is clean), thus | 
 | 602 | 	  alowing the VM to do with the page as it pleases.  Also, at umount | 
 | 603 | 	  time, now only throw away dirty mft (meta)data pages if dirty inodes | 
 | 604 | 	  are present and ask the user to email us if they see this happening. | 
 | 605 | 	- Add functions ntfs_{clear,set}_volume_flags(), to modify the volume | 
 | 606 | 	  information flags (fs/ntfs/super.c). | 
 | 607 | 	- Mark the volume dirty when (re)mounting read-write and mark it clean | 
 | 608 | 	  when unmounting or remounting read-only.  If any volume errors are | 
 | 609 | 	  found, the volume is left marked dirty to force chkdsk to run. | 
 | 610 | 	- Add code to set the NT4 compatibility flag when (re)mounting | 
 | 611 | 	  read-write for newer NTFS versions but leave it commented out for now | 
 | 612 | 	  since we do not make any modifications that are NTFS 1.2 specific yet | 
 | 613 | 	  and since setting this flag breaks Captive-NTFS which is not nice. | 
 | 614 | 	  This code must be enabled once we start writing NTFS 1.2 specific | 
 | 615 | 	  changes otherwise Windows NTFS driver might crash / cause corruption. | 
 | 616 |  | 
 | 617 | 2.1.12 - Fix the second fix to the decompression engine and some cleanups. | 
 | 618 |  | 
 | 619 | 	- Add a new address space operations struct, ntfs_mst_aops, for mst | 
 | 620 | 	  protected attributes.  This is because the default ntfs_aops do not | 
 | 621 | 	  make sense with mst protected data and were they to write anything to | 
 | 622 | 	  such an attribute they would cause data corruption so we provide | 
 | 623 | 	  ntfs_mst_aops which does not have any write related operations set. | 
 | 624 | 	- Cleanup dirty ntfs inode handling (fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]) which also | 
 | 625 | 	  includes an adapted ntfs_commit_inode() and an implementation of | 
 | 626 | 	  ntfs_write_inode() which for now just cleans dirty inodes without | 
 | 627 | 	  writing them (it does emit a warning that this is happening). | 
 | 628 | 	- Undo the second decompression engine fix (see 2.1.9 release ChangeLog | 
 | 629 | 	  entry) as it was only fixing a theoretical bug but at the same time | 
 | 630 | 	  it badly broke the handling of sparse and uncompressed compression | 
 | 631 | 	  blocks. | 
 | 632 |  | 
 | 633 | 2.1.11 - Driver internal cleanups. | 
 | 634 |  | 
 | 635 | 	- Only build logfile.o if building the driver with read-write support. | 
 | 636 | 	- Really final white space cleanups. | 
 | 637 | 	- Use generic_ffs() instead of ffs() in logfile.c which allows the | 
 | 638 | 	  log_page_size variable to be optimized by gcc into a constant. | 
 | 639 | 	- Rename uchar_t to ntfschar everywhere as uchar_t is unsigned 1-byte | 
 | 640 | 	  char as defined by POSIX and as found on some systems. | 
 | 641 |  | 
 | 642 | 2.1.10 - Force read-only (re)mounting of volumes with unsupported volume flags. | 
 | 643 |  | 
 | 644 | 	- Finish off the white space cleanups (remove trailing spaces, etc). | 
 | 645 | 	- Clean up ntfs_fill_super() and ntfs_read_inode_mount() by removing | 
 | 646 | 	  the kludges around the first iget().  Instead of (re)setting ->s_op | 
 | 647 | 	  we have the $MFT inode set up by explicit new_inode() / set ->i_ino / | 
 | 648 | 	  insert_inode_hash() / call ntfs_read_inode_mount() directly.  This | 
 | 649 | 	  kills the need for second super_operations and allows to return error | 
 | 650 | 	  from ntfs_read_inode_mount() without resorting to ugly "poisoning" | 
 | 651 | 	  tricks.  (Al Viro) | 
 | 652 | 	- Force read-only (re)mounting if any of the following bits are set in | 
 | 653 | 	  the volume information flags: | 
 | 654 | 	  	VOLUME_IS_DIRTY, VOLUME_RESIZE_LOG_FILE, | 
 | 655 | 		VOLUME_UPGRADE_ON_MOUNT, VOLUME_DELETE_USN_UNDERWAY, | 
 | 656 | 		VOLUME_REPAIR_OBJECT_ID, VOLUME_MODIFIED_BY_CHKDSK | 
 | 657 | 	  To make this easier we define VOLUME_MUST_MOUNT_RO_MASK with all the | 
 | 658 | 	  above bits set so the test is made easy. | 
 | 659 |  | 
 | 660 | 2.1.9 - Fix two bugs in decompression engine. | 
 | 661 |  | 
 | 662 | 	- Fix a bug where we would not always detect that we have reached the | 
 | 663 | 	  end of a compression block because we were ending at minus one byte | 
 | 664 | 	  which is effectively the same as being at the end.  The fix is to | 
 | 665 | 	  check whether the uncompressed buffer has been fully filled and if so | 
 | 666 | 	  we assume we have reached the end of the compression block.  A big | 
 | 667 | 	  thank you to Marcin Gibuła for the bug report, the assistance in | 
 | 668 | 	  tracking down the bug and testing the fix. | 
 | 669 | 	- Fix a possible bug where when a compressed read is truncated to the | 
 | 670 | 	  end of the file, the offset inside the last page was not truncated. | 
 | 671 |  | 
 | 672 | 2.1.8 - Handle $MFT mirror and $LogFile, improve time handling, and cleanups. | 
 | 673 |  | 
 | 674 | 	- Use get_bh() instead of manual atomic_inc() in fs/ntfs/compress.c. | 
 | 675 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/time.c::ntfs2utc(), get_current_ntfs_time(), and | 
 | 676 | 	  utc2ntfs() to work with struct timespec instead of time_t on the | 
 | 677 | 	  Linux UTC time side thus preserving the full precision of the NTFS | 
 | 678 | 	  time and only loosing up to 99 nano-seconds in the Linux UTC time. | 
 | 679 | 	- Move fs/ntfs/time.c to fs/ntfs/time.h and make the time functions | 
 | 680 | 	  static inline. | 
 | 681 | 	- Remove unused ntfs_dirty_inode(). | 
 | 682 | 	- Cleanup super operations declaration in fs/ntfs/super.c. | 
 | 683 | 	- Wrap flush_dcache_mft_record_page() in #ifdef NTFS_RW. | 
 | 684 | 	- Add NInoTestSetFoo() and NInoTestClearFoo() macro magic to | 
 | 685 | 	  fs/ntfs/inode.h and use it to declare NInoTest{Set,Clear}Dirty. | 
 | 686 | 	- Move typedefs for ntfs_attr and test_t from fs/ntfs/inode.c to | 
 | 687 | 	  fs/ntfs/inode.h so they can be used elsewhere. | 
 | 688 | 	- Determine the mft mirror size as the number of mirrored mft records | 
 | 689 | 	  and store it in ntfs_volume->mftmirr_size (fs/ntfs/super.c). | 
 | 690 | 	- Load the mft mirror at mount time and compare the mft records stored | 
 | 691 | 	  in it to the ones in the mft.  Force a read-only mount if the two do | 
 | 692 | 	  not match (fs/ntfs/super.c). | 
 | 693 | 	- Fix type casting related warnings on 64-bit architectures.  Thanks | 
 | 694 | 	  to Meelis Roos for reporting them. | 
 | 695 | 	- Move %L to %ll as %L is floating point and %ll is integer which is | 
 | 696 | 	  what we want. | 
 | 697 | 	- Read the journal ($LogFile) and determine if the volume has been | 
 | 698 | 	  shutdown cleanly and force a read-only mount if not (fs/ntfs/super.c | 
 | 699 | 	  and fs/ntfs/logfile.c).  This is a little bit of a crude check in | 
 | 700 | 	  that we only look at the restart areas and not at the actual log | 
 | 701 | 	  records so that there will be a very small number of cases where we | 
 | 702 | 	  think that a volume is dirty when in fact it is clean.  This should | 
 | 703 | 	  only affect volumes that have not been shutdown cleanly and did not | 
 | 704 | 	  have any pending, non-check-pointed i/o. | 
 | 705 | 	- If the $LogFile indicates a clean shutdown and a read-write (re)mount | 
 | 706 | 	  is requested, empty $LogFile by overwriting it with 0xff bytes to | 
 | 707 | 	  ensure that Windows cannot cause data corruption by replaying a stale | 
 | 708 | 	  journal after Linux has written to the volume. | 
 | 709 |  | 
 | 710 | 2.1.7 - Enable NFS exporting of mounted NTFS volumes. | 
 | 711 |  | 
 | 712 | 	- Set i_generation in the VFS inode from the seq_no of the NTFS inode. | 
 | 713 | 	- Make ntfs_lookup() NFS export safe, i.e. use d_splice_alias(), etc. | 
 | 714 | 	- Implement ->get_dentry() in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_get_dentry() as the | 
 | 715 | 	  default doesn't allow inode number 0 which is a valid inode on NTFS | 
 | 716 | 	  and even if it did allow that it uses iget() instead of ntfs_iget() | 
 | 717 | 	  which makes it useless for us. | 
 | 718 | 	- Implement ->get_parent() in fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_get_parent() as the | 
 | 719 | 	  default just returns -EACCES which is not very useful. | 
 | 720 | 	- Define export operations (->s_export_op) for NTFS (ntfs_export_ops) | 
 | 721 | 	  and set them up in the super block at mount time (super.c) this | 
 | 722 | 	  allows mounted NTFS volumes to be exported via NFS. | 
 | 723 | 	- Add missing return -EOPNOTSUPP; in | 
 | 724 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_commit_nonresident_write(). | 
 | 725 | 	- Enforce no atime and no dir atime updates at mount/remount time as | 
 | 726 | 	  they are not implemented yet anyway. | 
 | 727 | 	- Move a few assignments in fs/ntfs/attrib.c::load_attribute_list() to | 
 | 728 | 	  after a NULL check.  Thanks to Dave Jones for pointing this out. | 
 | 729 |  | 
 | 730 | 2.1.6 - Fix minor bug in handling of compressed directories. | 
 | 731 |  | 
 | 732 | 	- Fix bug in handling of compressed directories.  A compressed | 
 | 733 | 	  directory is not really compressed so when we set the ->i_blocks | 
 | 734 | 	  field of a compressed directory inode we were setting it from the | 
 | 735 | 	  non-existing field ni->itype.compressed.size which gave random | 
 | 736 | 	  results...  For directories we now always use ni->allocated_size. | 
 | 737 |  | 
 | 738 | 2.1.5 - Fix minor bug in attribute list attribute handling. | 
 | 739 |  | 
 | 740 | 	- Fix bug in attribute list handling.  Actually it is not as much a bug | 
 | 741 | 	  as too much protection in that we were not allowing attribute lists | 
 | 742 | 	  which waste space on disk while Windows XP clearly allows it and in | 
 | 743 | 	  fact creates such attribute lists so our driver was failing. | 
 | 744 | 	- Update NTFS documentation ready for 2.6 kernel release. | 
 | 745 |  | 
 | 746 | 2.1.4 - Reduce compiler requirements. | 
 | 747 |  | 
 | 748 | 	- Remove all uses of unnamed structs and unions in the driver to make | 
 | 749 | 	  old and newer gcc versions happy. Makes it a bit uglier IMO but at | 
 | 750 | 	  least people will stop hassling me about it. | 
 | 751 |  | 
 | 752 | 2.1.3 - Important bug fixes in corner cases. | 
 | 753 |  | 
 | 754 | 	- super.c::parse_ntfs_boot_sector(): Correct the check for 64-bit | 
 | 755 | 	  clusters. (Philipp Thomas) | 
 | 756 | 	- attrib.c::load_attribute_list(): Fix bug when initialized_size is a | 
 | 757 | 	  multiple of the block_size but not the cluster size. (Szabolcs | 
 | 758 | 	  Szakacsits <szaka@sienet.hu>) | 
 | 759 |  | 
 | 760 | 2.1.2 - Important bug fixes aleviating the hangs in statfs. | 
 | 761 |  | 
 | 762 | 	- Fix buggy free cluster and free inode determination logic. | 
 | 763 |  | 
 | 764 | 2.1.1 - Minor updates. | 
 | 765 |  | 
 | 766 | 	- Add handling for initialized_size != data_size in compressed files. | 
 | 767 | 	- Reduce function local stack usage from 0x3d4 bytes to just noise in | 
 | 768 | 	  fs/ntfs/upcase.c. (Randy Dunlap <rddunlap@osdl.ord>) | 
 | 769 | 	- Remove compiler warnings for newer gcc. | 
 | 770 | 	- Pages are no longer kmapped by mm/filemap.c::generic_file_write() | 
 | 771 | 	  around calls to ->{prepare,commit}_write.  Adapt NTFS appropriately | 
 | 772 | 	  in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write() by using | 
 | 773 | 	  kmap_atomic(KM_USER0). | 
 | 774 |  | 
 | 775 | 2.1.0 - First steps towards write support: implement file overwrite. | 
 | 776 |  | 
 | 777 | 	- Add configuration option for developmental write support with an | 
 | 778 | 	  appropriately scary configuration help text. | 
 | 779 | 	- Initial implementation of fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_writepage() and its | 
 | 780 | 	  helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_block(). This enables mmap(2) based | 
 | 781 | 	  overwriting of existing files on ntfs. Note: Resident files are | 
 | 782 | 	  only written into memory, and not written out to disk at present, so | 
 | 783 | 	  avoid writing to files smaller than about 1kiB. | 
 | 784 | 	- Initial implementation of fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_write(), its | 
 | 785 | 	  helper fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write() and their | 
 | 786 | 	  counterparts, fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_commit_write(), and | 
 | 787 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_commit_nonresident_write(), respectively. Also, | 
 | 788 | 	  add generic_file_write() to the ntfs file operations (fs/ntfs/file.c). | 
 | 789 | 	  This enables write(2) based overwriting of existing files on ntfs. | 
 | 790 | 	  Note: As with mmap(2) based overwriting, resident files are only | 
 | 791 | 	  written into memory, and not written out to disk at present, so avoid | 
 | 792 | 	  writing to files smaller than about 1kiB. | 
 | 793 | 	- Implement ->truncate (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_truncate()) and | 
 | 794 | 	  ->setattr() (fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_setattr()) inode operations for | 
 | 795 | 	  files with the purpose of intercepting and aborting all i_size | 
 | 796 | 	  changes which we do not support yet. ntfs_truncate() actually only | 
 | 797 | 	  emits a warning message but AFAICS our interception of i_size changes | 
 | 798 | 	  elsewhere means ntfs_truncate() never gets called for i_size changes. | 
 | 799 | 	  It is only called from generic_file_write() when we fail in | 
 | 800 | 	  ntfs_prepare_{,nonresident_}write() in order to discard any | 
 | 801 | 	  instantiated buffers beyond i_size. Thus i_size is not actually | 
 | 802 | 	  changed so our warning message is enough. Unfortunately it is not | 
 | 803 | 	  possible to easily determine if i_size is being changed or not hence | 
 | 804 | 	  we just emit an appropriately worded error message. | 
 | 805 |  | 
 | 806 | 2.0.25 - Small bug fixes and cleanups. | 
 | 807 |  | 
 | 808 | 	- Unlock the page in an out of memory error code path in | 
 | 809 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block(). | 
 | 810 | 	- If fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_page() is called on an uptodate page, | 
 | 811 | 	  just unlock the page and return. (This can happen due to ->writepage | 
 | 812 | 	  clearing PageUptodate() during write out of MstProtected() | 
 | 813 | 	  attributes. | 
 | 814 | 	- Remove leaked write code again. | 
 | 815 |  | 
 | 816 | 2.0.24 - Cleanups. | 
 | 817 |  | 
 | 818 | 	- Treat BUG_ON() as ASSERT() not VERIFY(), i.e. do not use side effects | 
 | 819 | 	  inside BUG_ON(). (Adam J. Richter) | 
 | 820 | 	- Split logical OR expressions inside BUG_ON() into individual BUG_ON() | 
 | 821 | 	  calls for improved debugging. (Adam J. Richter) | 
 | 822 | 	- Add errors flag to the ntfs volume state, accessed via | 
 | 823 | 	  NVol{,Set,Clear}Errors(vol). | 
 | 824 | 	- Do not allow read-write remounts of read-only volumes with errors. | 
 | 825 | 	- Clarify comment for ntfs file operation sendfile which was added by | 
 | 826 | 	  Christoph Hellwig a while ago (just using generic_file_sendfile()) | 
 | 827 | 	  to say that ntfs ->sendfile is only used for the case where the | 
 | 828 | 	  source data is on the ntfs partition and the destination is | 
 | 829 | 	  somewhere else, i.e. nothing we need to concern ourselves with. | 
 | 830 | 	- Add generic_file_write() as our ntfs file write operation. | 
 | 831 |  | 
 | 832 | 2.0.23 - Major bug fixes (races, deadlocks, non-i386 architectures). | 
 | 833 |  | 
 | 834 | 	- Massive internal locking changes to mft record locking. Fixes lock | 
 | 835 | 	  recursion and replaces the mrec_lock read/write semaphore with a | 
 | 836 | 	  mutex. Also removes the now superfluous mft_count. This fixes several | 
 | 837 | 	  race conditions and deadlocks, especially in the future write code. | 
 | 838 | 	- Fix ntfs over loopback for compressed files by adding an | 
 | 839 | 	  optimization barrier. (gcc was screwing up otherwise ?) | 
 | 840 | 	- Miscellaneous cleanups all over the code and a fix or two in error | 
 | 841 | 	  handling code paths. | 
 | 842 | 	Thanks go to Christoph Hellwig for pointing out the following two: | 
 | 843 | 	- Remove now unused function fs/ntfs/malloc.h::vmalloc_nofs(). | 
 | 844 | 	- Fix ntfs_free() for ia64 and parisc by checking for VMALLOC_END, too. | 
 | 845 |  | 
 | 846 | 2.0.22 - Cleanups, mainly to ntfs_readdir(), and use C99 initializers. | 
 | 847 |  | 
 | 848 | 	- Change fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_reddir() to only read/write ->f_pos once | 
 | 849 | 	  at entry/exit respectively. | 
 | 850 | 	- Use C99 initializers for structures. | 
 | 851 | 	- Remove unused variable blocks from fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block(). | 
 | 852 |  | 
 | 853 | 2.0.21 - Check for, and refuse to work with too large files/directories/volumes. | 
 | 854 |  | 
 | 855 | 	- Limit volume size at mount time to 2TiB on architectures where | 
 | 856 | 	  unsigned long is 32-bits (fs/ntfs/super.c::parse_ntfs_boot_sector()). | 
 | 857 | 	  This is the most we can do without overflowing the 32-bit limit of | 
 | 858 | 	  the block device size imposed on us by sb_bread() and sb_getblk() | 
 | 859 | 	  for the time being. | 
 | 860 | 	- Limit file/directory size at open() time to 16TiB on architectures | 
 | 861 | 	  where unsigned long is 32-bits (fs/ntfs/file.c::ntfs_file_open() and | 
 | 862 | 	  fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_dir_open()). This is the most we can do without | 
 | 863 | 	  overflowing the page cache page index. | 
 | 864 |  | 
 | 865 | 2.0.20 - Support non-resident directory index bitmaps, fix page leak in readdir. | 
 | 866 |  | 
 | 867 | 	- Move the directory index bitmap to use an attribute inode instead of | 
 | 868 | 	  having special fields for it inside the ntfs inode structure. This | 
 | 869 | 	  means that the index bitmaps now use the page cache for i/o, too, | 
 | 870 | 	  and also as a side effect we get support for non-resident index | 
 | 871 | 	  bitmaps for free. | 
 | 872 | 	- Simplify/cleanup error handling in fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_readdir() and | 
 | 873 | 	  fix a page leak that manifested itself in some cases. | 
 | 874 | 	- Add fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(), which we need to release the | 
 | 875 | 	  index bitmap inode on the final iput(). | 
 | 876 |  | 
 | 877 | 2.0.19 - Fix race condition, improvements, and optimizations in i/o interface. | 
 | 878 |  | 
 | 879 | 	- Apply block optimization added to fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block() | 
 | 880 | 	  to fs/ntfs/compress.c::ntfs_file_read_compressed_block() as well. | 
 | 881 | 	- Drop the "file" from ntfs_file_read_compressed_block(). | 
 | 882 | 	- Rename fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_enb_buffer_read_async() to | 
 | 883 | 	  ntfs_end_buffer_async_read() (more like the fs/buffer.c counterpart). | 
 | 884 | 	- Update ntfs_end_buffer_async_read() with the improved logic from | 
 | 885 | 	  its updated counterpart fs/buffer.c::end_buffer_async_read(). Apply | 
 | 886 | 	  further logic improvements to better determine when we set PageError. | 
 | 887 | 	- Update submission of buffers in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block() to | 
 | 888 | 	  check for the buffers being uptodate first in line with the updated | 
 | 889 | 	  fs/buffer.c::block_read_full_page(). This plugs a small race | 
 | 890 | 	  condition. | 
 | 891 |  | 
 | 892 | 2.0.18 - Fix race condition in reading of compressed files. | 
 | 893 |  | 
 | 894 | 	- There was a narrow window between checking a buffer head for being | 
 | 895 | 	  uptodate and locking it in ntfs_file_read_compressed_block(). We now | 
 | 896 | 	  lock the buffer and then check whether it is uptodate or not. | 
 | 897 |  | 
 | 898 | 2.0.17 - Cleanups and optimizations - shrinking the ToDo list. | 
 | 899 |  | 
 | 900 | 	- Modify fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_inode() to return an error | 
 | 901 | 	  code and update callers, i.e. ntfs_iget(), to pass that error code | 
 | 902 | 	  up instead of just using -EIO. | 
 | 903 | 	- Modifications to super.c to ensure that both mount and remount | 
 | 904 | 	  cannot set any write related options when the driver is compiled | 
 | 905 | 	  read-only. | 
 | 906 | 	- Optimize block resolution in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block() to | 
 | 907 | 	  cache the current runlist element. This should improve performance | 
 | 908 | 	  when reading very large and/or very fragmented data. | 
 | 909 |  | 
 | 910 | 2.0.16 - Convert access to $MFT/$BITMAP to attribute inode API. | 
 | 911 |  | 
 | 912 | 	- Fix a stupid bug introduced in 2.0.15 where we were unmapping the | 
 | 913 | 	  wrong inode in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_attr_iget(). | 
 | 914 | 	- Fix debugging check in fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_read_block(). | 
 | 915 | 	- Convert $MFT/$BITMAP access to attribute inode API and remove all | 
 | 916 | 	  remnants of the ugly mftbmp address space and operations hack. This | 
 | 917 | 	  means we finally have only one readpage function as well as only one | 
 | 918 | 	  async io completion handler. Yey! The mft bitmap is now just an | 
 | 919 | 	  attribute inode and is accessed from vol->mftbmp_ino just as if it | 
 | 920 | 	  were a normal file. Fake inodes rule. (-: | 
 | 921 |  | 
 | 922 | 2.0.15 - Fake inodes based attribute i/o via the pagecache, fixes and cleanups. | 
 | 923 |  | 
 | 924 | 	- Fix silly bug in fs/ntfs/super.c::parse_options() which was causing | 
 | 925 | 	  remounts to fail when the partition had an entry in /etc/fstab and | 
 | 926 | 	  the entry specified the nls= option. | 
 | 927 | 	- Apply same macro magic used in fs/ntfs/inode.h to fs/ntfs/volume.h to | 
 | 928 | 	  expand all the helper functions NVolFoo(), NVolSetFoo(), and | 
 | 929 | 	  NVolClearFoo(). | 
 | 930 | 	- Move copyright statement from driver initialisation message to | 
 | 931 | 	  module description (fs/super.c). This makes the initialisation | 
 | 932 | 	  message fit on one line and fits in better with rest of kernel. | 
 | 933 | 	- Update fs/ntfs/attrib.c::map_run_list() to work on both real and | 
 | 934 | 	  attribute inodes, and both for files and directories. | 
 | 935 | 	- Implement fake attribute inodes allowing all attribute i/o to go via | 
 | 936 | 	  the page cache and to use all the normal vfs/mm functionality: | 
 | 937 | 	  - Add ntfs_attr_iget() and its helper ntfs_read_locked_attr_inode() | 
 | 938 | 	    to fs/ntfs/inode.c. | 
 | 939 | 	  - Add needed cleanup code to ntfs_clear_big_inode(). | 
 | 940 | 	- Merge address space operations for files and directories (aops.c), | 
 | 941 | 	  now just have ntfs_aops: | 
 | 942 | 	  - Rename: | 
 | 943 | 		end_buffer_read_attr_async() ->	ntfs_end_buffer_read_async(), | 
 | 944 | 		ntfs_attr_read_block()	     ->	ntfs_read_block(), | 
 | 945 | 		ntfs_file_read_page()	     ->	ntfs_readpage(). | 
 | 946 | 	  - Rewrite fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_readpage() to work on both real and | 
 | 947 | 	    attribute inodes, and both for files and directories. | 
 | 948 | 	  - Remove obsolete fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage(). | 
 | 949 |  | 
 | 950 | 2.0.14 - Run list merging code cleanup, minor locking changes, typo fixes. | 
 | 951 |  | 
 | 952 | 	- Change fs/ntfs/super.c::ntfs_statfs() to not rely on BKL by moving | 
 | 953 | 	  the locking out of super.c::get_nr_free_mft_records() and taking and | 
 | 954 | 	  dropping the mftbmp_lock rw_semaphore in ntfs_statfs() itself. | 
 | 955 | 	- Bring attribute runlist merging code (fs/ntfs/attrib.c) in sync with | 
 | 956 | 	  current userspace ntfs library code. This means that if a merge | 
 | 957 | 	  fails the original runlists are always left unmodified instead of | 
 | 958 | 	  being silently corrupted. | 
 | 959 | 	- Misc typo fixes. | 
 | 960 |  | 
 | 961 | 2.0.13 - Use iget5_locked() in preparation for fake inodes and small cleanups. | 
 | 962 |  | 
 | 963 | 	- Remove nr_mft_bits and the now superfluous union with nr_mft_records | 
 | 964 | 	  from ntfs_volume structure. | 
 | 965 | 	- Remove nr_lcn_bits and the now superfluous union with nr_clusters | 
 | 966 | 	  from ntfs_volume structure. | 
 | 967 | 	- Use iget5_locked() and friends instead of conventional iget(). Wrap | 
 | 968 | 	  the call in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_iget() and update callers of iget() | 
 | 969 | 	  to use ntfs_iget(). Leave only one iget() call at mount time so we | 
 | 970 | 	  don't need an ntfs_iget_mount(). | 
 | 971 | 	- Change fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_new_extent_inode() to take mft_no as an | 
 | 972 | 	  additional argument. | 
 | 973 |  | 
 | 974 | 2.0.12 - Initial cleanup of address space operations following 2.0.11 changes. | 
 | 975 |  | 
 | 976 | 	- Merge fs/ntfs/aops.c::end_buffer_read_mst_async() and | 
 | 977 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::end_buffer_read_file_async() into one function | 
 | 978 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::end_buffer_read_attr_async() using NInoMstProtected() | 
 | 979 | 	  to determine whether to apply mst fixups or not. | 
 | 980 | 	- Above change allows merging fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_file_read_block() | 
 | 981 | 	  and fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage() into one function | 
 | 982 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_attr_read_block(). Also, create a tiny wrapper | 
 | 983 | 	  fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage() to transform the parameters from | 
 | 984 | 	  the VFS readpage function prototype to the ntfs_attr_read_block() | 
 | 985 | 	  function prototype. | 
 | 986 |  | 
 | 987 | 2.0.11 - Initial preparations for fake inode based attribute i/o. | 
 | 988 |  | 
 | 989 | 	- Move definition of ntfs_inode_state_bits to fs/ntfs/inode.h and | 
 | 990 | 	  do some macro magic (adapted from include/linux/buffer_head.h) to | 
 | 991 | 	  expand all the helper functions NInoFoo(), NInoSetFoo(), and | 
 | 992 | 	  NInoClearFoo(). | 
 | 993 | 	- Add new flag to ntfs_inode_state_bits: NI_Sparse. | 
 | 994 | 	- Add new fields to ntfs_inode structure to allow use of fake inodes | 
 | 995 | 	  for attribute i/o: type, name, name_len. Also add new state bits: | 
 | 996 | 	  NI_Attr, which, if set, indicates the inode is a fake inode, and | 
 | 997 | 	  NI_MstProtected, which, if set, indicates the attribute uses multi | 
 | 998 | 	  sector transfer protection, i.e. fixups need to be applied after | 
 | 999 | 	  reads and before/after writes. | 
 | 1000 | 	- Rename fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_{new,clear,destroy}_inode() to | 
 | 1001 | 	  ntfs_{new,clear,destroy}_extent_inode() and update callers. | 
 | 1002 | 	- Use ntfs_clear_extent_inode() in fs/ntfs/inode.c::__ntfs_clear_inode() | 
 | 1003 | 	  instead of ntfs_destroy_extent_inode(). | 
 | 1004 | 	- Cleanup memory deallocations in {__,}ntfs_clear_{,big_}inode(). | 
 | 1005 | 	- Make all operations on ntfs inode state bits use the NIno* functions. | 
 | 1006 | 	- Set up the new ntfs inode fields and state bits in | 
 | 1007 | 	  fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_inode() and add appropriate cleanup of | 
 | 1008 | 	  allocated memory to __ntfs_clear_inode(). | 
 | 1009 | 	- Cleanup ntfs_inode structure a bit for better ordering of elements | 
 | 1010 | 	  w.r.t. their size to allow better packing of the structure in memory. | 
 | 1011 |  | 
 | 1012 | 2.0.10 - There can only be 2^32 - 1 inodes on an NTFS volume. | 
 | 1013 |  | 
 | 1014 | 	- Add check at mount time to verify that the number of inodes on the | 
 | 1015 | 	  volume does not exceed 2^32 - 1, which is the maximum allowed for | 
 | 1016 | 	  NTFS according to Microsoft. | 
 | 1017 | 	- Change mft_no member of ntfs_inode structure to be unsigned long. | 
 | 1018 | 	  Update all users. This makes ntfs_inode->mft_no just a copy of struct | 
 | 1019 | 	  inode->i_ino. But we can't just always use struct inode->i_ino and | 
 | 1020 | 	  remove mft_no because extent inodes do not have an attached struct | 
 | 1021 | 	  inode. | 
 | 1022 |  | 
 | 1023 | 2.0.9 - Decompression engine now uses a single buffer and other cleanups. | 
 | 1024 |  | 
 | 1025 | 	- Change decompression engine to use a single buffer protected by a | 
 | 1026 | 	  spin lock instead of per-CPU buffers. (Rusty Russell) | 
 | 1027 | 	- Do not update cb_pos when handling a partial final page during | 
 | 1028 | 	  decompression of a sparse compression block, as the value is later | 
 | 1029 | 	  reset without being read/used. (Rusty Russell) | 
 | 1030 | 	- Switch to using the new KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ for atomic kmap()s. (Andrew | 
 | 1031 | 	  Morton) | 
 | 1032 | 	- Change buffer size in ntfs_readdir()/ntfs_filldir() to use | 
 | 1033 | 	  NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE which makes the buffers almost 1kiB each but | 
 | 1034 | 	  it also makes everything safer so it is a good thing. | 
 | 1035 | 	- Miscellaneous minor cleanups to comments. | 
 | 1036 |  | 
 | 1037 | 2.0.8 - Major updates for handling of case sensitivity and dcache aliasing. | 
 | 1038 |  | 
 | 1039 | 	Big thanks go to Al Viro and other inhabitants of #kernel for investing | 
 | 1040 | 	their time to discuss the case sensitivity and dcache aliasing issues. | 
 | 1041 |  | 
 | 1042 | 	- Remove unused source file fs/ntfs/attraops.c. | 
 | 1043 | 	- Remove show_inodes mount option(s), thus dropping support for | 
 | 1044 | 	  displaying of short file names. | 
 | 1045 | 	- Remove deprecated mount option posix. | 
 | 1046 | 	- Restore show_sys_files mount option. | 
 | 1047 | 	- Add new mount option case_sensitive, to determine if the driver | 
 | 1048 | 	  treats file names as case sensitive or not. If case sensitive, create | 
 | 1049 | 	  file names in the POSIX namespace. Otherwise create file names in the | 
 | 1050 | 	  LONG/WIN32 namespace. Note, files remain accessible via their short | 
 | 1051 | 	  file name, if it exists. | 
 | 1052 | 	- Remove really dumb logic bug in boot sector recovery code. | 
 | 1053 | 	- Fix dcache aliasing issues wrt short/long file names via changes | 
 | 1054 | 	  to fs/ntfs/dir.c::ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() and | 
 | 1055 | 	  fs/ntfs/namei.c::ntfs_lookup(): | 
 | 1056 | 	  - Add additional argument to ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() in which we | 
 | 1057 | 	    return information about the matching file name if the case is not | 
 | 1058 | 	    matching or the match is a short file name. See comments above the | 
 | 1059 | 	    function definition for details. | 
 | 1060 | 	  - Change ntfs_lookup() to only create dcache entries for the correctly | 
 | 1061 | 	    cased file name and only for the WIN32 namespace counterpart of DOS | 
 | 1062 | 	    namespace file names. This ensures we have only one dentry per | 
 | 1063 | 	    directory and also removes all dcache aliasing issues between short | 
 | 1064 | 	    and long file names once we add write support. See comments above | 
 | 1065 | 	    function for details. | 
 | 1066 | 	- Fix potential 1 byte overflow in fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_ucstonls(). | 
 | 1067 |  | 
 | 1068 | 2.0.7 - Minor cleanups and updates for changes in core kernel code. | 
 | 1069 |  | 
 | 1070 | 	- Remove much of the NULL struct element initializers. | 
 | 1071 | 	- Various updates to make compatible with recent kernels. | 
 | 1072 | 	- Remove defines of MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE and include linux/buffer_head.h | 
 | 1073 | 	  in fs/ntfs/ntfs.h instead. | 
 | 1074 | 	- Remove no longer needed KERNEL_VERSION checks. We are now in the | 
 | 1075 | 	  kernel proper so they are no longer needed. | 
 | 1076 |  | 
 | 1077 | 2.0.6 - Major bugfix to make compatible with other kernel changes. | 
 | 1078 |  | 
 | 1079 | 	- Initialize the mftbmp address space properly now that there are more | 
 | 1080 | 	  fields in the struct address_space. This was leading to hangs and | 
 | 1081 | 	  oopses on umount since 2.5.12 because of changes to other parts of | 
 | 1082 | 	  the kernel. We probably want a kernel generic init_address_space() | 
 | 1083 | 	  function... | 
 | 1084 | 	- Drop BKL from ntfs_readdir() after consultation with Al Viro. The | 
 | 1085 | 	  only caller of ->readdir() is vfs_readdir() which holds i_sem during | 
 | 1086 | 	  the call, and i_sem is sufficient protection against changes in the | 
 | 1087 | 	  directory inode (including ->i_size). | 
 | 1088 | 	- Use generic_file_llseek() for directories (as opposed to | 
 | 1089 | 	  default_llseek()) as this downs i_sem instead of the BKL which is | 
 | 1090 | 	  what we now need for exclusion against ->f_pos changes considering we | 
 | 1091 | 	  no longer take the BKL in ntfs_readdir(). | 
 | 1092 |  | 
 | 1093 | 2.0.5 - Major bugfix. Buffer overflow in extent inode handling. | 
 | 1094 |  | 
 | 1095 | 	- No need to set old blocksize in super.c::ntfs_fill_super() as the | 
 | 1096 | 	  VFS does so via invocation of deactivate_super() calling | 
 | 1097 | 	  fs->fill_super() calling block_kill_super() which does it. | 
 | 1098 | 	- BKL moved from VFS into dir.c::ntfs_readdir(). (Linus Torvalds) | 
 | 1099 | 	  -> Do we really need it? I don't think so as we have exclusion on | 
 | 1100 | 	  the directory ntfs_inode rw_semaphore mrec_lock. We mmight have to | 
 | 1101 | 	  move the ->f_pos accesses under the mrec_lock though. Check this... | 
 | 1102 | 	- Fix really, really, really stupid buffer overflow in extent inode | 
 | 1103 | 	  handling in mft.c::map_extent_mft_record(). | 
 | 1104 |  | 
 | 1105 | 2.0.4 - Cleanups and updates for kernel 2.5.11. | 
 | 1106 |  | 
 | 1107 | 	- Add documentation on how to use the MD driver to be able to use NTFS | 
 | 1108 | 	  stripe and volume sets in Linux and generally cleanup documentation | 
 | 1109 | 	  a bit. | 
 | 1110 | 	Remove all uses of kdev_t in favour of struct block_device *: | 
 | 1111 | 	- Change compress.c::ntfs_file_read_compressed_block() to use | 
 | 1112 | 	  sb_getblk() instead of getblk(). | 
 | 1113 | 	- Change super.c::ntfs_fill_super() to use bdev_hardsect_size() instead | 
 | 1114 | 	  of get_hardsect_size(). | 
 | 1115 | 	- No need to get old blocksize in super.c::ntfs_fill_super() as | 
 | 1116 | 	  fs/super.c::get_sb_bdev() already does this. | 
 | 1117 | 	- Set bh->b_bdev instead of bh->b_dev throughout aops.c. | 
 | 1118 |  | 
 | 1119 | 2.0.3 - Small bug fixes, cleanups, and performance improvements. | 
 | 1120 |  | 
 | 1121 | 	- Remove some dead code from mft.c. | 
 | 1122 | 	- Optimize readpage and read_block functions throughout aops.c so that | 
 | 1123 | 	  only initialized blocks are read. Non-initialized ones have their | 
 | 1124 | 	  buffer head mapped, zeroed, and set up to date, without scheduling | 
 | 1125 | 	  any i/o. Thanks to Al Viro for advice on how to avoid the device i/o. | 
 | 1126 | 	Thanks go to Andrew Morton for spotting the below: | 
 | 1127 | 	- Fix buglet in allocate_compression_buffers() error code path. | 
 | 1128 | 	- Call flush_dcache_page() after modifying page cache page contents in | 
 | 1129 | 	  ntfs_file_readpage(). | 
 | 1130 | 	- Check for existence of page buffers throughout aops.c before calling | 
 | 1131 | 	  create_empty_buffers(). This happens when an I/O error occurs and the | 
 | 1132 | 	  read is retried. (It also happens once writing is implemented so that | 
 | 1133 | 	  needed doing anyway but I had left it for later...) | 
 | 1134 | 	- Don't BUG_ON() uptodate and/or mapped buffers throughout aops.c in | 
 | 1135 | 	  readpage and read_block functions. Reasoning same as above (i.e. I/O | 
 | 1136 | 	  error retries and future write code paths.) | 
 | 1137 |  | 
 | 1138 | 2.0.2 - Minor updates and cleanups. | 
 | 1139 |  | 
 | 1140 | 	- Cleanup: rename mst.c::__post_read_mst_fixup to post_write_mst_fixup | 
 | 1141 | 	  and cleanup the code a bit, removing the unused size parameter. | 
 | 1142 | 	- Change default fmask to 0177 and update documentation. | 
 | 1143 | 	- Change attrib.c::get_attr_search_ctx() to return the search context | 
 | 1144 | 	  directly instead of taking the address of a pointer. A return value | 
 | 1145 | 	  of NULL means the allocation failed. Updated all callers | 
 | 1146 | 	  appropriately. | 
 | 1147 | 	- Update to 2.5.9 kernel (preserving backwards compatibility) by | 
 | 1148 | 	  replacing all occurences of page->buffers with page_buffers(page). | 
 | 1149 | 	- Fix minor bugs in runlist merging, also minor cleanup. | 
 | 1150 | 	- Updates to bootsector layout and mft mirror contents descriptions. | 
 | 1151 | 	- Small bug fix in error detection in unistr.c and some cleanups. | 
 | 1152 | 	- Grow name buffer allocations in unistr.c in aligned mutlipled of 64 | 
 | 1153 | 	  bytes. | 
 | 1154 |  | 
 | 1155 | 2.0.1 - Minor updates. | 
 | 1156 |  | 
 | 1157 | 	- Make default umask correspond to documentation. | 
 | 1158 | 	- Improve documentation. | 
 | 1159 | 	- Set default mode to include execute bit. The {u,f,d}mask can be used | 
 | 1160 | 	  to take it away if desired. This allows binaries to be executed from | 
 | 1161 | 	  a mounted ntfs partition. | 
 | 1162 |  | 
 | 1163 | 2.0.0 - New version number. Remove TNG from the name. Now in the kernel. | 
 | 1164 |  | 
 | 1165 | 	- Add kill_super, just keeping up with the vfs changes in the kernel. | 
 | 1166 | 	- Repeat some changes from tng-0.0.8 that somehow got lost on the way | 
 | 1167 | 	  from the CVS import into BitKeeper. | 
 | 1168 | 	- Begin to implement proper handling of allocated_size vs | 
 | 1169 | 	  initialized_size vs data_size (i.e. i_size). Done are | 
 | 1170 | 	  mft.c::ntfs_mft_readpage(), aops.c::end_buffer_read_index_async(), | 
 | 1171 | 	  and attrib.c::load_attribute_list(). | 
 | 1172 | 	- Lock the runlist in attrib.c::load_attribute_list() while using it. | 
 | 1173 | 	- Fix memory leak in ntfs_file_read_compressed_block() and generally | 
 | 1174 | 	  clean up compress.c a little, removing some uncommented/unused debug | 
 | 1175 | 	  code. | 
 | 1176 | 	- Tidy up dir.c a little bit. | 
 | 1177 | 	- Don't bother getting the runlist in inode.c::ntfs_read_inode(). | 
 | 1178 | 	- Merge mft.c::ntfs_mft_readpage() and aops.c::ntfs_index_readpage() | 
 | 1179 | 	  creating aops.c::ntfs_mst_readpage(), improving the handling of | 
 | 1180 | 	  holes and overflow in the process and implementing the correct | 
 | 1181 | 	  equivalent of ntfs_file_get_block() in ntfs_mst_readpage() itself. | 
 | 1182 | 	  I am aiming for correctness at the moment. Modularisation can come | 
 | 1183 | 	  later. | 
 | 1184 | 	- Rename aops.c::end_buffer_read_index_async() to | 
 | 1185 | 	  end_buffer_read_mst_async() and optimize the overflow checking and | 
 | 1186 | 	  handling. | 
 | 1187 | 	- Use the host of the mftbmp address space mapping to hold the ntfs | 
 | 1188 | 	  volume. This is needed so the async i/o completion handler can | 
 | 1189 | 	  retrieve a pointer to the volume. Hopefully this will not cause | 
 | 1190 | 	  problems elsewhere in the kernel... Otherwise will need to use a | 
 | 1191 | 	  fake inode. | 
 | 1192 | 	- Complete implementation of proper handling of allocated_size vs | 
 | 1193 | 	  initialized_size vs data_size (i.e. i_size) in whole driver. | 
 | 1194 | 	  Basically aops.c is now completely rewritten. | 
 | 1195 | 	- Change NTFS driver name to just NTFS and set version number to 2.0.0 | 
 | 1196 | 	  to make a clear distinction from the old driver which is still on | 
 | 1197 | 	  version 1.1.22. | 
 | 1198 |  | 
 | 1199 | tng-0.0.8 - 08/03/2002 - Now using BitKeeper, http://linux-ntfs.bkbits.net/ | 
 | 1200 |  | 
 | 1201 | 	- Replace bdevname(sb->s_dev) with sb->s_id. | 
 | 1202 | 	- Remove now superfluous new-line characters in all callers of | 
 | 1203 | 	  ntfs_debug(). | 
 | 1204 | 	- Apply kludge in ntfs_read_inode(), setting i_nlink to 1 for | 
 | 1205 | 	  directories. Without this the "find" utility gets very upset which is | 
 | 1206 | 	  fair enough as Linux/Unix do not support directory hard links. | 
 | 1207 | 	- Further runlist merging work. (Richard Russon) | 
 | 1208 | 	- Backwards compatibility for gcc-2.95. (Richard Russon) | 
 | 1209 | 	- Update to kernel 2.5.5-pre1 and rediff the now tiny patch. | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | c002f42 | 2005-02-03 12:02:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1210 | 	- Convert to new filesystem declaration using ->ntfs_get_sb() and | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1211 | 	  replacing ntfs_read_super() with ntfs_fill_super(). | 
 | 1212 | 	- Set s_maxbytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE to avoid page cache page index | 
 | 1213 | 	  overflow on 32-bit architectures. | 
 | 1214 | 	- Cleanup upcase loading code to use ntfs_(un)map_page(). | 
 | 1215 | 	- Disable/reenable preemtion in critical sections of compession engine. | 
 | 1216 | 	- Replace device size determination in ntfs_fill_super() with | 
 | 1217 | 	  sb->s_bdev->bd_inode->i_size (in bytes) and remove now superfluous | 
 | 1218 | 	  function super.c::get_nr_blocks(). | 
 | 1219 | 	- Implement a mount time option (show_inodes) allowing choice of which | 
 | 1220 | 	  types of inode names readdir() returns and modify ntfs_filldir() | 
 | 1221 | 	  accordingly. There are several parameters to show_inodes: | 
 | 1222 | 		system:	system files | 
 | 1223 | 		win32:	long file names (including POSIX file names) [DEFAULT] | 
 | 1224 | 		long:	same as win32 | 
 | 1225 | 		dos:	short file names only (excluding POSIX file names) | 
 | 1226 | 		short:	same as dos | 
 | 1227 | 		posix:	same as both win32 and dos | 
 | 1228 | 		all:	all file names | 
 | 1229 | 	  Note that the options are additive, i.e. specifying: | 
 | 1230 | 		-o show_inodes=system,show_inodes=win32,show_inodes=dos | 
 | 1231 | 	  is the same as specifying: | 
 | 1232 | 		-o show_inodes=all | 
 | 1233 | 	  Note that the "posix" and "all" options will show all directory | 
 | 1234 | 	  names, BUT the link count on each directory inode entry is set to 1, | 
 | 1235 | 	  due to Linux not supporting directory hard links. This may well | 
 | 1236 | 	  confuse some userspace applications, since the directory names will | 
 | 1237 | 	  have the same inode numbers. Thus it is NOT advisable to use the | 
 | 1238 | 	  "posix" or "all" options. We provide them only for completeness sake. | 
 | 1239 | 	- Add copies of allocated_size, initialized_size, and compressed_size to | 
 | 1240 | 	  the ntfs inode structure and set them up in | 
 | 1241 | 	  inode.c::ntfs_read_inode(). These reflect the unnamed data attribute | 
 | 1242 | 	  for files and the index allocation attribute for directories. | 
 | 1243 | 	- Add copies of allocated_size and initialized_size to ntfs inode for | 
 | 1244 | 	  $BITMAP attribute of large directories and set them up in | 
 | 1245 | 	  inode.c::ntfs_read_inode(). | 
 | 1246 | 	- Add copies of allocated_size and initialized_size to ntfs volume for | 
 | 1247 | 	  $BITMAP attribute of $MFT and set them up in | 
 | 1248 | 	  super.c::load_system_files(). | 
 | 1249 | 	- Parse deprecated ntfs driver options (iocharset, show_sys_files, | 
 | 1250 | 	  posix, and utf8) and tell user what the new options to use are. Note | 
 | 1251 | 	  we still do support them but they will be removed with kernel 2.7.x. | 
 | 1252 | 	- Change all occurences of integer long long printf formatting to hex | 
 | 1253 | 	  as printk() will not support long long integer format if/when the | 
 | 1254 | 	  div64 patch goes into the kernel. | 
 | 1255 | 	- Make slab caches have stable names and change the names to what they | 
 | 1256 | 	  were intended to be. These changes are required/made possible by the | 
 | 1257 | 	  new slab cache name handling which removes the length limitation by | 
 | 1258 | 	  requiring the caller of kmem_cache_create() to supply a stable name | 
 | 1259 | 	  which is then referenced but not copied. | 
 | 1260 | 	- Rename run_list structure to run_list_element and create a new | 
 | 1261 | 	  run_list structure containing a pointer to a run_list_element | 
 | 1262 | 	  structure and a read/write semaphore. Adapt all users of runlists | 
 | 1263 | 	  to new scheme and take and release the lock as needed. This fixes a | 
 | 1264 | 	  nasty race as the run_list changes even when inodes are locked for | 
 | 1265 | 	  reading and even when the inode isn't locked at all, so we really | 
 | 1266 | 	  needed the serialization. We use a semaphore rather than a spinlock | 
 | 1267 | 	  as memory allocations can sleep and doing everything GFP_ATOMIC | 
 | 1268 | 	  would be silly. | 
 | 1269 | 	- Cleanup read_inode() removing all code checking for lowest_vcn != 0. | 
 | 1270 | 	  This can never happen due to the nature of lookup_attr() and how we | 
 | 1271 | 	  support attribute lists. If it did happen it would imply the inode | 
 | 1272 | 	  being corrupt. | 
 | 1273 | 	- Check for lowest_vcn != 0 in ntfs_read_inode() and mark the inode as | 
 | 1274 | 	  bad if found. | 
 | 1275 | 	- Update to 2.5.6-pre2 changes in struct address_space. | 
 | 1276 | 	- Use parent_ino() when accessing d_parent inode number in dir.c. | 
 | 1277 | 	- Import Sourceforge CVS repository into BitKeeper repository: | 
 | 1278 | 		http://linux-ntfs.bkbits.net/ntfs-tng-2.5 | 
 | 1279 | 	- Update fs/Makefile, fs/Config.help, fs/Config.in, and | 
 | 1280 | 	  Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt for NTFS TNG. | 
 | 1281 | 	- Create kernel configuration option controlling whether debugging | 
 | 1282 | 	  is enabled or not. | 
 | 1283 | 	- Add the required export of end_buffer_io_sync() from the patches | 
 | 1284 | 	  directory to the kernel code. | 
 | 1285 | 	- Update inode.c::ntfs_show_options() with show_inodes mount option. | 
 | 1286 | 	- Update errors mount option. | 
 | 1287 |  | 
 | 1288 | tng-0.0.7 - 13/02/2002 - The driver is now feature complete for read-only! | 
 | 1289 |  | 
 | 1290 | 	- Cleanup mft.c and it's debug/error output in particular. Fix a minor | 
 | 1291 | 	  bug in mapping of extent inodes. Update all the comments to fit all | 
 | 1292 | 	  the recent code changes. | 
 | 1293 | 	- Modify vcn_to_lcn() to cope with entirely unmapped runlists. | 
 | 1294 | 	- Cleanups in compress.c, mostly comments and folding help. | 
 | 1295 | 	- Implement attrib.c::map_run_list() as a generic helper. | 
 | 1296 | 	- Make compress.c::ntfs_file_read_compressed_block() use map_run_list() | 
 | 1297 | 	  thus making code shorter and enabling attribute list support. | 
 | 1298 | 	- Cleanup incorrect use of [su]64 with %L printf format specifier in | 
 | 1299 | 	  all source files. Type casts to [unsigned] long long added to correct | 
 | 1300 | 	  the mismatches (important for architectures which have long long not | 
 | 1301 | 	  being 64 bits). | 
 | 1302 | 	- Merge async io completion handlers for directory indexes and $MFT | 
 | 1303 | 	  data into one by setting the index_block_size{_bits} of the ntfs | 
 | 1304 | 	  inode for $MFT to the mft_record_size{_bits} of the ntfs_volume. | 
 | 1305 | 	- Cleanup aops.c, update comments. | 
 | 1306 | 	- Make ntfs_file_get_block() use map_run_list() so all files now | 
 | 1307 | 	  support attribute lists. | 
 | 1308 | 	- Make ntfs_dir_readpage() almost verbatim copy of | 
 | 1309 | 	  block_read_full_page() by using ntfs_file_get_block() with only real | 
 | 1310 | 	  difference being the use of our own async io completion handler | 
 | 1311 | 	  rather than the default one, thus reducing the amount of code and | 
 | 1312 | 	  automatically enabling attribute list support for directory indices. | 
 | 1313 | 	- Fix bug in load_attribute_list() - forgot to call brelse in error | 
 | 1314 | 	  code path. | 
 | 1315 | 	- Change parameters to find_attr() and lookup_attr(). We no longer | 
 | 1316 | 	  pass in the upcase table and its length. These can be gotten from | 
 | 1317 | 	  ctx->ntfs_ino->vol->upcase{_len}. Update all callers. | 
 | 1318 | 	- Cleanups in attrib.c. | 
 | 1319 | 	- Implement merging of runlists, attrib.c::merge_run_lists() and its | 
 | 1320 | 	  helpers. (Richard Russon) | 
 | 1321 | 	- Attribute lists part 2, attribute extents and multi part runlists: | 
 | 1322 | 	  enable proper support for LCN_RL_NOT_MAPPED and automatic mapping of | 
 | 1323 | 	  further runlist parts via attrib.c::map_run_list(). | 
 | 1324 | 	- Tiny endianness bug fix in decompress_mapping_pairs(). | 
 | 1325 |  | 
 | 1326 | tng-0.0.6 - Encrypted directories, bug fixes, cleanups, debugging enhancements. | 
 | 1327 |  | 
 | 1328 | 	- Enable encrypted directories. (Their index root is marked encrypted | 
 | 1329 | 	  to indicate that new files in that directory should be created | 
 | 1330 | 	  encrypted.) | 
 | 1331 | 	- Fix bug in NInoBmpNonResident() macro. (Cut and paste error.) | 
 | 1332 | 	- Enable $Extend system directory. Most (if not all) extended system | 
 | 1333 | 	  files do not have unnamed data attributes so ntfs_read_inode() had to | 
 | 1334 | 	  special case them but that is ok, as the special casing recovery | 
 | 1335 | 	  happens inside an error code path so there is zero slow down in the | 
 | 1336 | 	  normal fast path. The special casing is done by introducing a new | 
 | 1337 | 	  function inode.c::ntfs_is_extended_system_file() which checks if any | 
 | 1338 | 	  of the hard links in the inode point to $Extend as being their parent | 
 | 1339 | 	  directory and if they do we assume this is an extended system file. | 
 | 1340 | 	- Create a sysctl/proc interface to allow {dis,en}abling of debug output | 
 | 1341 | 	  when compiled with -DDEBUG. Default is debug messages to be disabled. | 
 | 1342 | 	  To enable them, one writes a non-zero value to /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug | 
 | 1343 | 	  (if /proc is enabled) or uses sysctl(2) to effect the same (if sysctl | 
 | 1344 | 	  interface is enabled). Inspired by old ntfs driver. | 
 | 1345 | 	- Add debug_msgs insmod/kernel boot parameter to set whether debug | 
 | 1346 | 	  messages are {dis,en}abled. This is useful to enable debug messages | 
 | 1347 | 	  during ntfs initialization and is the only way to activate debugging | 
 | 1348 | 	  when the sysctl interface is not enabled. | 
 | 1349 | 	- Cleanup debug output in various places. | 
 | 1350 | 	- Remove all dollar signs ($) from the source (except comments) to | 
 | 1351 | 	  enable compilation on architectures whose gcc compiler does not | 
 | 1352 | 	  support dollar signs in the names of variables/constants. Attribute | 
 | 1353 | 	  types now start with AT_ instead of $ and $I30 is now just I30. | 
 | 1354 | 	- Cleanup ntfs_lookup() and add consistency check of sequence numbers. | 
 | 1355 | 	- Load complete runlist for $MFT/$BITMAP during mount and cleanup | 
 | 1356 | 	  access functions. This means we now cope with $MFT/$BITMAP being | 
 | 1357 | 	  spread accross several mft records. | 
 | 1358 | 	- Disable modification of mft_zone_multiplier on remount. We can always | 
 | 1359 | 	  reenable this later on if we really want to, but we will need to make | 
 | 1360 | 	  sure we readjust the mft_zone size / layout accordingly. | 
 | 1361 |  | 
 | 1362 | tng-0.0.5 - Modernize for 2.5.x and further in line-ing with Al Viro's comments. | 
 | 1363 |  | 
 | 1364 | 	- Use sb_set_blocksize() instead of set_blocksize() and verify the | 
 | 1365 | 	  return value. | 
 | 1366 | 	- Use sb_bread() instead of bread() throughout. | 
 | 1367 | 	- Add index_vcn_size{_bits} to ntfs_inode structure to store the size | 
 | 1368 | 	  of a directory index block vcn. Apply resulting simplifications in | 
 | 1369 | 	  dir.c everywhere. | 
 | 1370 | 	- Fix a small bug somewhere (but forgot what it was). | 
 | 1371 | 	- Change ntfs_{debug,error,warning} to enable gcc to do type checking | 
 | 1372 | 	  on the printf-format parameter list and fix bugs reported by gcc | 
 | 1373 | 	  as a result. (Richard Russon) | 
 | 1374 | 	- Move inode allocation strategy to Al's new stuff but maintain the | 
 | 1375 | 	  divorce of ntfs_inode from struct inode. To achieve this we have two | 
 | 1376 | 	  separate slab caches, one for big ntfs inodes containing a struct | 
 | 1377 | 	  inode and pure ntfs inodes and at the same time fix some faulty | 
 | 1378 | 	  error code paths in ntfs_read_inode(). | 
 | 1379 | 	- Show mount options in proc (inode.c::ntfs_show_options()). | 
 | 1380 |  | 
 | 1381 | tng-0.0.4 - Big changes, getting in line with Al Viro's comments. | 
 | 1382 |  | 
 | 1383 | 	- Modified (un)map_mft_record functions to be common for read and write | 
 | 1384 | 	  case. To specify which is which, added extra parameter at front of | 
 | 1385 | 	  parameter list. Pass either READ or WRITE to this, each has the | 
 | 1386 | 	  obvious meaning. | 
 | 1387 | 	- General cleanups to allow for easier folding in vi. | 
 | 1388 | 	- attrib.c::decompress_mapping_pairs() now accepts the old runlist | 
 | 1389 | 	  argument, and invokes attrib.c::merge_run_lists() to merge the old | 
 | 1390 | 	  and the new runlists. | 
 | 1391 | 	- Removed attrib.c::find_first_attr(). | 
 | 1392 | 	- Implemented loading of attribute list and complete runlist for $MFT. | 
 | 1393 | 	  This means we now cope with $MFT being spread across several mft | 
 | 1394 | 	  records. | 
 | 1395 | 	- Adapt to 2.5.2-pre9 and the changed create_empty_buffers() syntax. | 
 | 1396 | 	- Adapt major/minor/kdev_t/[bk]devname stuff to new 2.5.x kernels. | 
 | 1397 | 	- Make ntfs_volume be allocated via kmalloc() instead of using a slab | 
 | 1398 | 	  cache. There are too little ntfs_volume structures at any one time | 
 | 1399 | 	  to justify a private slab cache. | 
 | 1400 | 	- Fix bogus kmap() use in async io completion. Now use kmap_atomic(). | 
 | 1401 | 	  Use KM_BIO_IRQ on advice from IRC/kernel... | 
 | 1402 | 	- Use ntfs_map_page() in map_mft_record() and create ->readpage method | 
 | 1403 | 	  for reading $MFT (ntfs_mft_readpage). In the process create dedicated | 
 | 1404 | 	  address space operations (ntfs_mft_aops) for $MFT inode mapping. Also | 
 | 1405 | 	  removed the now superfluous exports from the kernel core patch. | 
 | 1406 | 	- Fix a bug where kfree() was used insted of ntfs_free(). | 
 | 1407 | 	- Change map_mft_record() to take ntfs_inode as argument instead of | 
 | 1408 | 	  vfs inode. Dito for unmap_mft_record(). Adapt all callers. | 
 | 1409 | 	- Add pointer to ntfs_volume to ntfs_inode. | 
 | 1410 | 	- Add mft record number and sequence number to ntfs_inode. Stop using | 
 | 1411 | 	  i_ino and i_generation for in-driver purposes. | 
 | 1412 | 	- Implement attrib.c::merge_run_lists(). (Richard Russon) | 
 | 1413 | 	- Remove use of proper inodes by extent inodes. Move i_ino and | 
 | 1414 | 	  i_generation to ntfs_inode to do this. Apply simplifications that | 
 | 1415 | 	  result and remove iget_no_wait(), etc. | 
 | 1416 | 	- Pass ntfs_inode everywhere in the driver (used to be struct inode). | 
 | 1417 | 	- Add reference counting in ntfs_inode for the ntfs inode itself and | 
 | 1418 | 	  for the mapped mft record. | 
 | 1419 | 	- Extend mft record mapping so we can (un)map extent mft records (new | 
 | 1420 | 	  functions (un)map_extent_mft_record), and so mappings are reference | 
 | 1421 | 	  counted and don't have to happen twice if already mapped - just ref | 
 | 1422 | 	  count increases. | 
 | 1423 | 	- Add -o iocharset as alias to -o nls for backwards compatibility. | 
 | 1424 | 	- The latest core patch is now tiny. In fact just a single additional | 
 | 1425 | 	  export is necessary over the base kernel. | 
 | 1426 |  | 
 | 1427 | tng-0.0.3 - Cleanups, enhancements, bug fixes. | 
 | 1428 |  | 
 | 1429 | 	- Work on attrib.c::decompress_mapping_pairs() to detect base extents | 
 | 1430 | 	  and setup the runlist appropriately using knowledge provided by the | 
 | 1431 | 	  sizes in the base attribute record. | 
 | 1432 | 	- Balance the get_/put_attr_search_ctx() calls so we don't leak memory | 
 | 1433 | 	  any more. | 
 | 1434 | 	- Introduce ntfs_malloc_nofs() and ntfs_free() to allocate/free a single | 
 | 1435 | 	  page or use vmalloc depending on the amount of memory requested. | 
 | 1436 | 	- Cleanup error output. The __FUNCTION__ "(): " is now added | 
 | 1437 | 	  automatically. Introduced a new header file debug.h to support this | 
 | 1438 | 	  and also moved ntfs_debug() function into it. | 
 | 1439 | 	- Make reading of compressed files more intelligent and especially get | 
 | 1440 | 	  rid of the vmalloc_nofs() from readpage(). This now uses per CPU | 
 | 1441 | 	  buffers (allocated at first mount with cluster size <= 4kiB and | 
 | 1442 | 	  deallocated on last umount with cluster size <= 4kiB), and | 
 | 1443 | 	  asynchronous io for the compressed data using a list of buffer heads. | 
 | 1444 | 	  Er, we use synchronous io as async io only works on whole pages | 
 | 1445 | 	  covered by buffers and not on individual buffer heads... | 
 | 1446 | 	- Bug fix for reading compressed files with sparse compression blocks. | 
 | 1447 |  | 
 | 1448 | tng-0.0.2 - Now handles larger/fragmented/compressed volumes/files/dirs. | 
 | 1449 |  | 
 | 1450 | 	- Fixed handling of directories when cluster size exceeds index block | 
 | 1451 | 	  size. | 
 | 1452 | 	- Hide DOS only name space directory entries from readdir() but allow | 
 | 1453 | 	  them in lookup(). This should fix the problem that Linux doesn't | 
 | 1454 | 	  support directory hard links, while still allowing access to entries | 
 | 1455 | 	  via their short file name. This also has the benefit of mimicking | 
 | 1456 | 	  what Windows users are used to, so it is the ideal solution. | 
 | 1457 | 	- Implemented sync_page everywhere so no more hangs in D state when | 
 | 1458 | 	  waiting for a page. | 
 | 1459 | 	- Stop using bforget() in favour of brelse(). | 
 | 1460 | 	- Stop locking buffers unnecessarily. | 
 | 1461 | 	- Implemented compressed files (inode->mapping contains uncompressed | 
 | 1462 | 	  data, raw compressed data is currently bread() into a vmalloc()ed | 
 | 1463 | 	  memory buffer). | 
 | 1464 | 	- Enable compressed directories. (Their index root is marked compressed | 
 | 1465 | 	  to indicate that new files in that directory should be created | 
 | 1466 | 	  compressed.) | 
 | 1467 | 	- Use vsnprintf rather than vsprintf in the ntfs_error and ntfs_warning | 
 | 1468 | 	  functions. (Thanks to Will Dyson for pointing this out.) | 
 | 1469 | 	- Moved the ntfs_inode and ntfs_volume (the former ntfs_inode_info and | 
 | 1470 | 	  ntfs_sb_info) out of the common inode and super_block structures and | 
 | 1471 | 	  started using the generic_ip and generic_sbp pointers instead. This | 
 | 1472 | 	  makes ntfs entirely private with respect to the kernel tree. | 
 | 1473 | 	- Detect compiler version and abort with error message if gcc less than | 
 | 1474 | 	  2.96 is used. | 
 | 1475 | 	- Fix bug in name comparison function in unistr.c. | 
 | 1476 | 	- Implement attribute lists part 1, the infrastructure: search contexts | 
 | 1477 | 	  and operations, find_external_attr(), lookup_attr()) and make the | 
 | 1478 | 	  code use the infrastructure. | 
 | 1479 | 	- Fix stupid buffer overflow bug that became apparent on larger run | 
 | 1480 | 	  list containing attributes. | 
 | 1481 | 	- Fix bugs in readdir() that became apparent on larger directories. | 
 | 1482 |  | 
 | 1483 | 	The driver is now really useful and survives the test | 
 | 1484 | 		find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \; | 
 | 1485 | 	without any error messages on a over 1GiB sized partition with >16k | 
 | 1486 | 	files on it, including compressed files and directories and many files | 
 | 1487 | 	and directories with attribute lists. | 
 | 1488 |  | 
 | 1489 | tng-0.0.1 - The first useful version. | 
 | 1490 |  | 
 | 1491 | 	- Added ntfs_lookup(). | 
 | 1492 | 	- Added default upcase generation and handling. | 
 | 1493 | 	- Added compile options to be shown on module init. | 
 | 1494 | 	- Many bug fixes that were "hidden" before. | 
 | 1495 | 	- Update to latest kernel. | 
 | 1496 | 	- Added ntfs_readdir(). | 
 | 1497 | 	- Added file operations for mmap(), read(), open() and llseek(). We just | 
 | 1498 | 	  use the generic ones. The whole point of going through implementing | 
 | 1499 | 	  readpage() methods and where possible get_block() call backs is that | 
 | 1500 | 	  this allows us to make use of the generic high level methods provided | 
 | 1501 | 	  by the kernel. | 
 | 1502 |  | 
 | 1503 | 	The driver is now actually useful! Yey. (-: It undoubtedly has got bugs | 
 | 1504 | 	though and it doesn't implement accesssing compressed files yet. Also, | 
 | 1505 | 	accessing files with attribute list attributes is not implemented yet | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | c002f42 | 2005-02-03 12:02:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1506 | 	either. But for small or simple filesystems it should work and allow | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1507 | 	you to list directories, use stat on directory entries and the file | 
 | 1508 | 	system, open, read, mmap and llseek around in files. A big mile stone | 
 | 1509 | 	has been reached! | 
 | 1510 |  | 
 | 1511 | tng-0.0.0 - Initial version tag. | 
 | 1512 |  | 
 | 1513 | 	Initial driver implementation. The driver can mount and umount simple | 
| Anton Altaparmakov | c002f42 | 2005-02-03 12:02:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1514 | 	NTFS filesystems (i.e. ones without attribute lists in the system | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1515 | 	files). If the mount fails there might be problems in the error handling | 
 | 1516 | 	code paths, so be warned. Otherwise it seems to be loading the system | 
 | 1517 | 	files nicely and the mft record read mapping/unmapping seems to be | 
 | 1518 | 	working nicely, too. Proof of inode metadata in the page cache and non- | 
 | 1519 | 	resident file unnamed stream data in the page cache concepts is thus | 
 | 1520 | 	complete. |
