fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode

2011-05-27T11:04:40Z

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ext3: add cleancache support

2011-05-26T16:01:49Z

This fifth patch of eight in this cleancache series "opts-in" cleancache for ext3. Filesystems must explicitly enable cleancache by calling cleancache_init_fs anytime an instance of the filesystem is mounted. For ext3, all other cleancache hooks are in the VFS layer including the matching cleancache_flush_fs hook which must be called on unmount. Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt [v6-v8: no changes] [v5: jeremy@goop.org: simplify init hook and any future fs init changes] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer Reviewed-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Andreas Dilger Cc: Ted Ts'o Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Al Viro Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Nick Piggin Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Rik Van Riel Cc: Jan Beulich Cc: Chris Mason Cc: Mark Fasheh Cc: Joel Becker Cc: Nitin Gupta

ext3: Fix fs corruption when make_indexed_dir() fails

2011-05-17T11:47:15Z

When make_indexed_dir() fails (e.g. because of ENOSPC) after it has allocated block for index tree root, we did not properly mark all changed buffers dirty. This lead to only some of these buffers being written out and thus effectively corrupting the directory. Fix the issue by marking all changed data dirty even in the error failure case.

ext3: Fix lock inversion in ext3_symlink()

2011-04-29T21:20:03Z

ext3_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open. __page_symlink() calls ext3_write_begin() which gets page lock which ranks above transaction start (thus lock ordering is violated) and and also ext3_write_begin() waits for a transaction commit when we run out of space which never happens if we hold transaction open. Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling __page_symlink() (we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list so that it gets deleted in case of crash) and starting another one after __page_symlink() returns for addition of symlink into a directory.
