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). [View] http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=tma/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refcount [Pull] git://oss.oracle.com/git/tma/linux-2.6.git refcount The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink.

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

Can someone explain to me what is happening here: ~ $ touch foo ~ $ ln foo bar ~ $ ls foo bar bar foo ~ $ mv foo bar ~ $ ls foo bar bar foo I try to move a file over a hard linked copy of itself and the move fails, but there is no error. Is this the intended behavior? -- Ben Escoto

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.

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

Resending after implementing review comments.

Hello, This is the second attempt to bring in cross subvolume reflinks into btrfs. The first attempt was NAKed due to missing vfs mount checks and a clear description of what btrfs subvolumes are and probably also why cross subvolume reflinks are ok in the case of btrfs. This version of the patch comes from David and is in SUSE kernels since a long time, so it is tested and working. The patch

When btrfs_start_transaction() fails, we should call btrfs_std_error() properly for filesystem to readonly.

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

If we have particularly full nodes, we could call btrfs_node_blockptr up to 32 times, which is 32 pairs of kmap/kunmap, which _sucks_. So go ahead and map the extent buffer while we look for readahead targets.

Hi all, Just a quick question but can''t find an obvious answer. Can I create/convert a existing (btrfs) directory into a subvolume? It would be very helpful when transferring ''partitions'' into btrfs. I found a similar question way back in google, but that site is down now generally. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

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

This testscript creates reflinks to files on different subvolumes, overwrites the original files and reflinks, and moves reflinked files between subvolumes. Originally submitted as testcase 302, changes are made based on comments from Eric: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-03/msg00231.html Two new common/rc functions used in this script (_require_cp_reflink and _verify_reflink) have been

Glück Auf! I know its been discussed more then ones, but as a user I really would like to see the patch for allowing this in the kernel. Some users tested this patch successfully for weeks or months in 2 or 3 kernel versions since then, true? I''d say by creating a snapshot, it''s nothing else in the end. More then one file or tree sharing the same data on disc, or am I wrong?

Hi, All, These four patches are all related to ocfs2 on hard readonly mount. patch 1 fix oops when umount ocfs2 on hard readonly device. Because ocfs2_dismount_volume() will call ocfs2_cluster_hangup() and then call ocfs2_stack_driver_put(), will hit BUG_ON(active_stack == NULL). patch 2 fix oops when do ls or cat in ocfs2 on hard readonly device. Because ocfs2_open_lock() will call

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com> One of the major goals of LSM stacking is to run multiple LSMs side by side without interfering with each other. The ultimate decision will depend on individual LSM decision. Several changes need to be made to the LSM infrastructure to be able to support that. This patch set tackles one of them: gives to each LSM the ability to specify one

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, 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
