similar to: [PATCH] ocfs2: Fix 2 warning during ocfs2 make.

changes from v3: 1, move codes that checks inode allocation bit to subfunction ocfs2_test_inode_bit(). 2, release the suballoc lock just after we get it. we should release it asap and doing so doesn't affect functionility. 3, add inode alloc slot validation.

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.

Hi all, this patch set are the backport of inode alloc improvement from mainline to ocfs2-1.4. the patches are almost the same excpet one thing: Joel has added JBD2 support to ocfs2, so he has added "max_blocks" to alloc_context and add a new function "ocfs2_reserve_clusters_with_limit". We don't have that in ocfs2-1.4. So there are some great difference in patch 2.

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

In ocfs2, the inode block search looks for the "emptiest" inode group to allocate from. So if an inode alloc file has many equally (or almost equally) empty groups, new inodes will tend to get spread out amongst them, which in turn can put them all over the disk. This is undesirable because directory operations on conceptually "nearby" inodes force a large number of seeks. So

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

Changelog from V1 to V2: 1. Modify some codes according to Mark's advice. 2. Attach some test statistics in the commit log of patch 3 and in this e-mail also. See below. Hi all, In ocfs2, when we create a fresh file system and create inodes in it, they are contiguous and good for readdir+stat. While if we delete all the inodes and created again, the new inodes will get spread out and that

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

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 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 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:

This patch is against ocfs2-1.4 and also applies to ocfs2-1.2. ocfs2 mainline requires only the first portion of the patch and hence will make a separate patch for that.
