similar to: [GIT PULL] ocfs2 changes for 2.6.36, part 2.

Linus, et al, Here are the ocfs2 changes for 2.6.37. There are three major additions. Tao Ma has added readahead to our CoW operations. Sunil Mushran has added a global heartbeat mode, allowing one device heartbeat to support multiple ocfs2 mounts. Finally, Patrick J. LoPresti has done the final work to enable ocfs2 mounts on devices larger than 16TB. The ocfs2 disk format has always

As part of adding support for OCFS2 to mount huge volumes, we need to check that the sector_t and page cache of the system are capable of addressing the entire volume. An identical check already appears in ext3 and ext4. This patch moves the addressability check into its own function in fs/libfs.c and modifies ext3 and ext4 to invoke it.

This library is used by clients of X Font Servers (xfs), such as xfsinfo, fslsfonts, and the X servers themselves. Alan Coopersmith (9): Fix sign comparison warning in loop index in FSListFontsWithXInfo Fix sign comparison warning in loop index in FSListCatalogues Fix sign comparison warning in loop indexes in FSQueryXBitmaps{8,16} Fix sign comparison warning in loop

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

libFS is the protocol binding library used by clients of X Font Servers (xfs), such as xfsinfo, fslsfonts, and the X servers themselves.

Linus et al, Here are the ocfs2 fixes we have ready for pulling right now. I have a bit of a procedural question, though. I've been busy, so Tao was kind enough to take the fixes I already had and apply all the new fixes. He coordinated testing them and getting them ready to go upstream. That's why I have his git tree in the pull request below. I wasn't sure how the signoffs work

In reflink we update the id info in the disk but forget to update the corresponding information in the VFS inode. So update them accordingly in case we want to preserve the attributes.

Use filemap_write_and_wait_range to write back the range of the dirty page instead of write_one_page in preparation of removing write_one_page and eventually ->writepage.

The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: don't use write_one_page in ocfs2_duplicate_clusters_by_page has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is ocfs2-dont-use-write_one_page-in-ocfs2_duplicate_clusters_by_page.patch This patch will shortly appear at

Linus et al, Here are the ocfs2 updates for 2.6.35. There are two major changes. Mark added allocation reservations to our node-local allocators. This gets us much more contiguousness when many processes are growing files in parallel. On the other end of contiguousness, ocfs2 has had a major limitation since the beginning. When ocfs2 needs new inodes, it has always grown its metadata

I've been working on a patchset to change how the inode->i_ctime is accessed in order to give us conditional, high-res timestamps for the ctime and mtime. struct timespec64 has unused bits in it that we can use to implement this. In order to do that however, we need to wrap all accesses of inode->i_ctime to ensure that bits used as flags are appropriately handled. This patchset first

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 v3: - drop all patches merged in v6.3-rc1 - re-add the jfs patch 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

Linus, et al, Here are the major ocfs2 fixes for 2.6.35-rc5. A few more fixes have trickled in, but as these major fixes have been tested, I didn't want to delay them any longer. The first major fix you know about: the tail zeroing fix when extending files. It's been run under heavy testing for a week now, and we're quite happy. We should also no longer be touching any pages past
