This + means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty. + The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot. The user can then + immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows + boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a + journal and empty it as it is clean by definition. + - Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as + journals with two different restart pages. We sanity check both and + either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the + case that both are valid. + - Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to + ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and + hence cannot fail. + - Use ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() in the two critical regions in + fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_runlists_merge(). This means we no longer + need to panic() if the allocation fails as it now cannot fail. + - Fix two nasty runlist merging bugs that had gone unnoticed so far. + Thanks to Stefano Picerno for the bug report. + - Remove two bogus BUG_ON()s from fs/ntfs/mft.c. + - Fix handling of valid but empty mapping pairs array in + fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(). + - Report unrepresentable inodes during ntfs_readdir() as KERN_WARNING + messages and include the inode number. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for + pointing this out. + - Change ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock() to throw away the runlist if the new + length is zero. + - Add runlist.[hc]::ntfs_rl_punch_nolock() which punches a caller + specified hole into a runlist. + - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/index.c::ntfs_index_lookup(). When the returned + index entry is in the index root, we forgot to set the @ir pointer in + the index context. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for finding this bug. + - Remove bogus setting of PageError in ntfs_read_compressed_block(). + - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_resident_attr_value_resize(). + - Fix a bug in ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() where we forgot to protect + access to the allocated size in the ntfs inode with the size lock. + - Fix ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() and ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() to + return LCN_ENOENT when there is no runlist and the allocated size is + zero. + - Fix load_attribute_list() to handle the case of a NULL runlist. + - Fix handling of sparse attributes in ntfs_attr_make_non_resident(). + - Add BUG() checks to ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() and ntfs_attr_set() + to ensure that these functions are never called for compressed or + encrypted attributes. + - Fix cluster (de)allocators to work when the runlist is NULL and more + importantly to take a locked runlist rather than them locking it + which leads to lock reversal. + - Truncate {a,c,m}time to the ntfs supported time granularity when + updating the times in the inode in ntfs_setattr(). + - Fixup handling of sparse, compressed, and encrypted attributes in + fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_{,attr_,index_}inode(), + fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}page(). + - Make ntfs_write_block() not instantiate sparse blocks if they contain + only zeroes. + - Optimize fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_block() by extending the page + lock protection over the buffer submission for i/o which allows the + removal of the get_bh()/put_bh() pairs for each buffer. + - Fix fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}_block() to handle the case + where a concurrent truncate has truncated the runlist under our feet. + - Fix page_has_buffers()/page_buffers() handling in fs/ntfs/aops.c. + - In fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_end_buffer_async_read(), use a bit spin lock + in the first buffer head instead of a driver global spin lock to + improve scalability. + - Minor fix to error handling and error message display in + fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write(). + - Change the mount options {u,f,d}mask to always parse the number as + an octal number to conform to how chmod(1) works, too. Thanks to + Giuseppe Bilotta and Horst von Brand for pointing out the errors of + my ways. + 2.1.23 - Implement extension of resident files and make writing safe as well as many bug fixes, cleanups, and enhancements... |
