Questions for the ntfs3 maintainer(s): 1. What happens when you run ntfs3 through fstests with '-g all'? I get that the pass rate isn't going to be as high with ntfs3 as it is with ext4/xfs/btrfs, but fstests can be adapted (see the recent attempts to get exfat under test). (And yes, not all the fstests will pass, since some of them are random exercisers that we use to keep the bug backlog populated. We can help you figure out which tests are erratic like that). 2. Same question as #1, except for whatever internal QA suite Paragon has used to qualify the ntfs3 driver over the years. (If you haven't been using fstests this whole time.) 3. If you (Paragon) do have an internal QA suite, are you willing to contribute some of that to fstests to improve its ability to exercise whatever features and quirks are unique to NTFS? 4. How often do you run QA validation (of any kind) on the ntfs3 codebase? In case you're wondering why I ask these questions, my motivation is in figuring out how easy it will be to extend QA coverage to the community supported QA suite (fstests) so that people making treewide and vfs level changes can check that their changes don't bitrot your driver, and vice-versa. My primary interest leans towards convincing everyone to value QA and practice it regularly (aka sharing the load so it's not entirely up to the maintainer to catch all problems) vs. finding every coding error as a gate condition for merging. As another fs maintainer, I know that this is key to preventing fs drivers from turning into a rotting garbage fire, and probably the best I can do for a review of ntfs3 since I don't anticipate having time for a super-detailed review and you've been submitting this driver for a while now. After this gets merged, fixing the code warts and cognitive mismatches with the vfs/mm apis becomes your problem. ;) Oh, that brings me to my last question: 5. Are you retiring the old ntfs driver too? > For example, full journaling support over JBD will be > added in later updates. I remember jbd2. Yikes. ;) Anyway I'll try to do a once-over code scan while I procrastinate on higher priority things. :P --D > > v2: > - patch splitted to chunks (file-wise) > - build issues fixed > - sparse and checkpatch.pl errors fixed > - NULL pointer dereference on mkfs.ntfs-formatted volume mount fixed > - cosmetics + code cleanup > > v3: > - added acl, noatime, no_acs_rules, prealloc mount options > - added fiemap support > - fixed encodings support > - removed typedefs > - adapted Kernel-way logging mechanisms > - fixed typos and corner-case issues > > v4: > - atomic_open() refactored > - code style updated > - bugfixes > > v5: > - nls/nls_alt mount options added > - Unicode conversion fixes > - Improved very fragmented files operations > - logging cosmetics > > v6: > - Security Descriptors processing changed > added system.ntfs_security xattr to set > SD > - atomic_open() optimized > - cosmetics > > v7: > - Security Descriptors validity checks added (by Mark Harmstone) > - atomic_open() fixed for the compressed file creation with directio > case > - remount support > - temporarily removed readahead usage > - cosmetics > > v8: > - Compressed files operations fixed > > v9: > - Further cosmetics applied as suggested > by Joe Perches > > v10: > - operations with compressed/sparse files on very fragmented volumes improved > - reduced memory consumption for above cases > > v11: > - further compressed files optimizations: reads/writes are now skipping bufferization > - journal wipe to the initial state optimized (bufferization is also skipped) > - optimized run storage (re-packing cluster metainformation) > - fixes based on Matthew Wilcox feedback to the v10 > - compressed/sparse/normal could be set for empty files with 'system.ntfs_attrib' xattr > > v12: > - nls_alt mount option removed after discussion with Pali Rohar > - fixed ni_repack() > - fixed resident files transition to non-resident when size increasing > > v13: > - nested_lock fix (lockdep) > - out-of-bounds read fix (KASAN warning) > - resident->nonresident transition fixed for compressed files > - load_nls() missed fix applied > - some sparse utility warnings fixes > > v14: > - support for additional compression types (we've adapted WIMLIB's > implementation, authored by Eric Biggers, into ntfs3) > > v15: > - kernel test robot warnings fixed > - lzx/xpress compression license headers updated > > v16: > - lzx/xpress moved to initial ntfs-3g plugin code > - mutexes instead of a global spinlock for compresions > - FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE implemented > - CONFIG_NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL added > > v17: > - FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE fixed > - fixes for Mattew Wilcox's and Andy Lavr's concerns > > v18: > - ntfs_alloc macro splitted into two ntfs_malloc + ntfs_zalloc > - attrlist.c: always use ntfs_cmp_names instead of memcmp;
