similar to: [PATCH 0/2] Unwritten extent merge update, V2

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

The following series of patches comprises the bulk of our outstanding changes for Ocfs2. Aside from the usual set of cleanups and fixes that were inappropriate for 2.6.25, there are a few highlights: The '/sys/o2cb' directory has been moved to '/sys/fs/o2cb'. The new location meshes better with modern sysfs layout. A symbolic link has been placed in the old location so as to

Hi Mark/Joel, These are 2 bug fix for b-tree. Please review. I have sent out the first one last week, but it was based on cacheme. So resend it. Now it bases on joel's fixes branch. The second one is another b-tree rotation bug. I guess the reason why we never meet with it is that no one has ever used b-tree like reflink before. ;) Regards, Tao

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).

Hi Mark/Joel, This is the v2 of bug fix for ocfs2_add_branch. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Create a patch which return EROFS instead of BUG in ocfs2_insert_at_leaf. 2. Use ocfs2_adjust_rightmost_records to change the root and extent blocks in the rightmost path. Regards, Tao

In normal tree rotation left process, we will never touch the tree branch above subtree_index and ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction doesn't reserve the credits for them either. But when we want to delete the rightmost extent block, we have to update the rightmost records for all the rightmost branch(See ocfs2_update_edge_lengths), so we have to allocate extra credits for them. What's more,

In __ocfs2_mark_extent_written, when we meet with the situation of c_split_covers_rec, the old solution just replace the extent record and forget to access and dirty the buffer_head. This will cause a problem when the unwritten extent is in an extent block. So access and dirty it.

Hi Mark/Joel, I meet with some meta allocation bugs when I implement reflink these days. And after some investigation, I think we should have the same problem when we have PAGE_SIZE > CLUSTER_SIZE. So I create a scenario today in one ppc box and try. the box panic as I expected. ;) The scenario is that: Create a file with the disk layout like this(with bs=512, and cs=4K). debugfs: stat

In ocfs2_add_branch, we use the rightmost rec of the leaf extent block to generate the e_cpos for the new added branch. In the most case, it is OK but if there is a gap between the the root(or branch) 's rightmost rec and the leaf, it will cause kernel panic if we insert some clusters in it. The message is something like: (7445,1):ocfs2_insert_at_leaf:3775 ERROR: bug expression:

Btrfs has always had these filler extent data items for holes in inodes. This has made somethings very easy, like logging hole punches and sending hole punches. However for large holey files these extent data items are pure overhead. So add an incompatible feature to no longer add hole extents to reduce the amount of metadata used by these sort of files. This has a few changes for logging and

From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> (This patch is for the review/test not yet for the integration). Here is an implementation of the feature to add label to the subvolume and snapshots. Which would help sysadmin to better manager the subvol and snapshots. This can be done in two ways, one - using attr which is user land only changes but drawback is able to change the label

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

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
