ext4: Move the ext4_i.h header file into ext4.h

2009-05-01T17:44:33Z

There is no longer a reason for a separate ext4_i.h header file, so move it into ext4.h just to make life easier for developers to find the relevant data structures and typedefs. Should also speed up compiles slightly, too. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystems

2009-03-12T16:18:34Z

The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: Remove stale block allocator references from ext4.h

2009-02-06T21:23:37Z

Remove some leftovers from when the old block allocator was removed (c2ea3fde). ext4_sb_info is now a bit lighter. Also remove a dangling read_block_bitmap() prototype. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: Change unsigned long to unsigned int

2008-11-05T05:14:04Z

Convert the unsigned longs that are most responsible for bloating the stack usage on 64-bit systems. Nearly all places in the ext3/4 code which uses "unsigned long" is probably a bug, since on 32-bit systems a ulong a 32-bits, which means we are wasting stack space on 64-bit systems.

ext4: Make ext4_group_t be an unsigned int

ext4: Remove i_ext_generation from ext4_inode_info structure

2008-11-04T23:46:03Z

The i_ext_generation was incremented, but never used. Remove it to slim down the ext4_inode_info structure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: Rename ext4dev to ext4

2008-10-11T00:02:48Z

The ext4 filesystem is getting stable enough that it's time to drop the "dev" prefix. Also remove the requirement for the TEST_FILESYS flag. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: delayed allocation ENOSPC handling

2008-07-14T21:52:37Z

This patch does block reservation for delayed allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time. Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin() time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of reserved blocks is store in per inode counter. At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.

ext4: Use new framework for data=ordered mode in JBD2

2008-07-11T23:27:31Z

This patch makes ext4 use inode-based implementation of data=ordered mode in JBD2. It allows us to unify some data=ordered and data=writeback paths (especially writepage since we don't have to start a transaction anymore) and remove some buffer walking. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V to fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.
