While adding a file into orphan dir in ocfs2_orphan_add(), it calls __ocfs2_add_entry() before ocfs2_journal_access_di(). If ocfs2_journal_access_di() failed, the file is added into orphan dir, and orphan dir dinode updated, but file dinode has not been updated. Accordingly, the data is not consistent between file dinode and orphan dir. So, need to call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before __ocfs2_add_entry(),...

...s. This patch resolve this. So that a large unwritten extent which has been split up with a bunch of writes can be merged together once all unwritten regions have been written to. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Add more comments for some functions which is more complicated than before. 2. move the journal_access() calls to a better place so that we may detect its error before we do the real modification to some extent blocks. 3. Using l_next_free_rec instead of l_count to index the extent record array so that it's more consistent with other codes. 4. Delete the empty extent block during ocfs2_mer...

The following patches implement indexed directory support in Ocfs2, mostly according to the design doc I wrote up a while ago: http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/IndexedDirectories The patches have been rebased on top of 2.6.29-rc2. It should be trivial to put them into merge_window. Things are what I'd call complete now. I'd like to get these into the merge_window branch

...ctions affecting the metadata cache, like ocfs2_set_buffer_uptodate(), etc, take a struct ocfs2_caching_info instead of a struct inode. That sort of thing. It's nice and easy. The next three patches move the journal transaction ids to struct ocfs2_caching_info. When they are done, the ocfs2_journal_access*() functions take a stuct ocfs2_caching_info, and the dlmglue checks the ocfs2_caching_info regarding checkpoints. So it only takes us six patches to isolate ocfs2_caching_info in the metadata I/O API. The remaining 34 patches slowly but surely move alloc.c to the new API. Our btree code is heavi...

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

Hi, The following patches comprise the bulk of Ocfs2 updates for the 2.6.30 merge window. Aside from larger, more involved fixes, we're adding the following features, which I will describe in the order their patches are mailed. Sunil's exported some more state to our debugfs files, and consolidated some other aspects of our debugfs infrastructure. This will further aid us in debugging

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
