similar to: [PATCH] fixup journal-related ifdef mess

ocfs2 currently uses the Journaled Block Device (JBD) for its journaling. This is a very stable and tested codebase. However, JBD is limited by architecture to 32bit block numbers. This means an ocfs2 filesystem is limited to 2^32 blocks. With a 4K blocksize, that's 16TB. People want larger volumes. Fortunately, there is now JBD2. JBD2 adds 64bit block number support and some other

Hi, If this is a redundant post I apologize. I am running 2.4.20 on what has been a very stable Athlon machine for months, tried to move a 2 GB file from an ext2 partition to an ext3 and kjournald crashed.

I have installed the xen 3.1.0 x86_64 tarball compiled for RHEL5 on a RHEL5 system. The system in question was able to boot with the xen kernel that came with RHEL5. I untarred the tarball, and did cd /boot mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen The command exited properly and made a initrd image. The machine booted with a grub.conf entry like this: title Xen 3.1.0 root

Hi all, and particularly Andrew and Stephen, I recently "upgraded' one of my NFS fileservers from (patched)2.4.18 to 2.4.23-pre7 (in order to resolve a HIMEM related memory pressure problem). Unfortunately I have experienced what appears to be a deadlock. The one I will describe was experienced while running 2.4.23-pre7, though I had a very similar problem in 2.4.22 (but

Hi All. I have a server which hanged two times because we could not connect to the box, it was not responding.

Description: Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size. Also use helper functions to convert between human time units and jiffies rather than constant HZ division to avoid rounding errors.

i_alloc_sem has always been a bit of an odd "lock". It''s the only remaining rw_semaphore that can be released by a different thread than the one that locked it, and it''s use case in the core direct I/O code is more like a counter given that the writers already have external serialization. This series removes it in favour of a simpler counter scheme, thus getting rid

Hi, I have a server configured as follows: a standard 2.4.18 kernel, IDE discs, 1Gb RAM (not all used), load avg around 1-2. a large partition, formatted reiserfs within large partition are 80 300Mb loopback file systems, formatted ext3. I got the following assertion yesterday which forced a lot of processes into D state. I'm not sure how easy it is to reproduce this problem.

This version fixes three bugs in the 2nd patch of this series that caused kernel BUG when the system was under race. We weren't accounting with t_oustanding_credits correctly, and there were race conditions caused by the fact the I had overlooked the fact that __jbd2_log_wait_for_space() and jbd2_get_transaction() requires j_state_lock to be write locked.

Hello. I found bugs on error handlings in the functions arround the ext3 file system, which cause inadequate completions of synchronous write I/O operations when disk I/O failures occur. Both 2.4 and 2.6 have this problem. I carried out following experiment: 1. Mount a ext3 file system on a SCSI disk with ordered mode. 2. Open a file on the file system with O_SYNC|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT

jbd2_journal_restart() would restart a handle. In this function, it calls start_this_handle(). Before calling start_this_handle()?subtract 1 from transaction->t_updates. If start_this_handle() succeeds, transaction->t_updates increases by 1 in it. But if start_this_handle() fails, transaction->t_updates does not increase. So, when commit the handle's transaction in
