When the extended attribute namespace grows to a b-tree, the leaf clusters are organized by means of 'buckets'. Each bucket is 4K in size, regardless of blocksize. Thus, a bucket may be made of more than one block. fs/ocfs2/xattr.c has a nice little abstraction to wrap this, struct ocfs2_xattr_bucket. It contains a list of buffer_heads representing these blocks, and there is even an

...nst it? xs->base used to be allocated a 4K size and all the contents in the bucket are copied to the it. So in ocfs2_xattr_bucket_set_value_outside, we are safe to use xs->base + offset. Now we use ocfs2_xattr_bucket to abstract xattr bucket and xs->base is initialized to the start of the bu_bhs[0]. So xs->base + offset will overflow when the value root is stored outside the first block. Then why we can survive the xattr test by now? It is because we always read the bucket contiguously now and kernel mm allocate continguous memory for us. We are lucky, but we should fix it. So just get...

Hi, This is the second batch of Ocfs2 patches intended for the merge window. The 1st batch were sent out previously: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/280 The bulk of this set is comprised of Jan Kara's patches to add quota support to Ocfs2. Many of the quota patches are to generic code, which I carried to make merging of the Ocfs2 support easier. All of the non-ocfs2 patches should have

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v1 of reflink for ocfs2. It has some bugs that I am still investigating, but the schema is almost there. So I'd like to send it out first for review. And Tristan and I will continue to work on the stability of the code. The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink. For the design doc, please

Hi all, Change from v1 to v2: bug fix and metadata/credits reservation improvement. The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink.

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v3 of reflink for ocfs2. The biggest change is that we support 64bit cluster offset now(Thank Mark and Joel for it).

The following series of patches attempts to detach metadata I/O from struct inode. They are currently tied together pretty tightly. Metadata reads happen via the ocfs2_read_blocks() functions, writes via both jbd2 and ocfs2_write_blocks(). - Each inode has a cache of associated metadata blocks stored on its ip_metadata_cache member. The ocfs2_read/write_blocks() functions take a struct
