Hello everyone.
The corporative Namesys server doesn't work,
and I don't know how much time it will be in such
state. So I have put the patch in this place:
http://chichkin_i.zelnet.ru/namesys/index.html
<http://chichkin_i.zelnet.ru/namesys/index.html>
The list of changes since reiser4-for-2.6.21:
1) Common changes:
. Reduce number of typedefs from 289 to 248
. Remove unused file plugin/file/invert.c
2) unix-file plugin fixups:
. Fixed bug in extent2tail conversion.
Bug description:
when converting partially converted file
(with flag REISER4_PART_MIXED installed)
reiser4_cut_tree() starts to cut old metatada
from wrong offset. Result is data corruption
when booting after system crash, power loss,
etc.
. Update hint when reading tails (failed assertion
nikita-19891 reported by Jake Maciejewski,
Ingo Bormuth)
. Protect page (via incrementing page count) from
being reclaimed when looking for extent pointer
in unix-file specific readpages filler (oops reported
by Zan Lynx).
3) cryptcompress file plugin fixups:
. Fix a race (reproducible by fsx + sync(1))
between checkin page cluster operations:
serialize them via special per-inode checkin_mutex
(usual i_mutex is not suitable for this purpose,
as ->writepages() also calls checkin_page_cluster();
. Add comments for checkin/checkout technique for
synchronization of primary and secondary caches
with proof of correctness;
. Fix missed right neighbor when updating disk
clusters by handle_pos_on_leaf() during squalloc
(should use upper levels to get expected non-connected
neighbor);
. Resolve a race between read and truncate (when read
finds partially truncated and, hence, unrecoverable
disk cluster) via keeping a track of leftmost
truncated disk clusters in cryptcompress-specific
part of inode;
. Update comments;
. Rename badly sounding function names;
. Fix coding style;
Thanks,
Edward.
