Hi Linus, Here are some 2.6.20 fixes for ocfs2. The patch by Zhen Wei isn't really a fix, but a very small amount of support for a feature which is mostly implemented in ocfs2-tools. Considering it's just a single attribute export via configfs, I'd say it's pretty safe to merge. Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of

Hello again, We have hit some performance problem today in one of our clusters. The performance suddenly drop from the normal performance (about 30Mbytes/s), read/write, to a few Kbytes/s (about 200Kbytes/s), read only, for a while, and as sudden as it started, it backs to the normal read/write performance, cycling randomly. When the "read only" occurs on one node, the other shows only

Hi, here comes the next version of OCFS2 lockdep support. I've dropped patches with fixes from the series since they were already merged. As Joel suggested, I've simplified the main patch a bit so that we don't have ifdefs around lock declarations and there are also a few other minor improvements. Honza

Hi, Arthur found out that ext3 is not changing the ctime on the "old_dir" (the object that is being renamed), but ext2 does.

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

With indexed dir enabled, now we use ocfs2_dir_lookup_result to wrap all the bh used for dir. So remove the 2 unused variables.

My apologies in advance if this is considered off-topic, but I'm trying to install a Linux devel kernel (2.1.53) and Linus' CHANGES doc tells me I need smbfs 2.1.0 to compile the SAMBA stuff. Installed SAMBA: 1.9.18p5-50.6 Installed smbfs: 2.0.1-2 Question is: I can't find any smbfs code later than 2.0.1-2 on ftp.redhat.com. I've looked at the SAMBA pages and used the search

Hi all, this series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. Changes since v2: - more minix error handling fixes Changes since v1: - drop the btrfs changes (queue up in the btrfs tree) - drop the finaly move to jfs (can't be done without the btrfs patches) - fix the existing minix code to

Document those places in the btrfs code which are BUGing on non-fatal error conditions that should be handled by proper error paths. This makes it easier to distinguish between what needs fixing versus which BUG_ON''s we might want to keep (to trap code bugs, unexpected inconsistencies, etc). Do this with a trivial macro, ''btrfs_fixable_bug_on'' which just defines to

Linus, et al, Here are the outstanding ocfs2 fixes we have for 2.6.30. The important ones are journal credit fixes for the new indexed directories. There's also MAINTAINERS update for my ocfs2 git tree. Please pull.

Inlined xattr shared free space of inode block with inlined data or data extent record, so the size of the later two should be adjusted when inlined xattr is enabled. See ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(). But this isn't done well when reflink. For inode with inlined data, its max inlined data size is adjusted in ocfs2_duplicate_inline_data(), no problem. But for inode with data extent record, its

This patch finally gives us full proper -ENOSPC handling for btrfs. Now whenever you do a btrfs_start_transaction, you must specify the number of items you are planning to add/delete/modify. The worst case number of blocks that could be modified by changing that number of items will be calculated and checked against the amount of free space in the space_info where the root you are modifying

Hi, I split the previous support security EA patch into four patches for review. Them besed on joel's xattr-28 branch and tao's patch "Merge xattr set transaction". 1: move new_inode out of the transaction. 2: add ocfs2_xattr_set_handle. 3: add security xattr APIs 4: add init_security in mknod. Best regards, tiger

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 In ext3_get_parent(), quick string (struct qstr) can do the job, in place of declaring a dentry on stack. Following patch does this and saves few bytes on kernel stack.

Hi, the first four patches in this series fix locking problems in OCFS2 quota code (three of them can lead to potential deadlocks). The fifth patch reorders ip_alloc_sem for directories to be acquired before localalloc locks. Mark would you please merge these? The last two patches implement lockdep annotations for OCFS2 cluster locks. We annotate all the cluster locks except for special ones

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
