ext4: remove useless marking of superblock dirty

2012-07-23T00:29:31Z

Commit a0375156 properly notes that superblock doesn't need to be marked as dirty when only number of free inodes / blocks / number of directories changes since that is recomputed on each mount anyway. However that comment leaves some unnecessary markings as dirty in place. Remove these. Artem: tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

ext4: pass a char * to ext4_count_free() instead of a buffer_head ptr

2012-06-30T23:14:57Z

Make it possible for ext4_count_free to operate on buffers and not just data in buffer_heads. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@kernel.org

ext4: protect group inode free counting with group lock

2012-05-28T22:20:59Z

Now when we set the group inode free count, we don't have a proper group lock so that multiple threads may decrease the inode free count at the same time. And e2fsck will complain something like: Free inodes count wrong for group #1 (1, counted=0). Fix? no Free inodes count wrong for group #2 (3, counted=0). Fix? no Directories count wrong for group #2 (780, counted=779). Fix? no Free inodes count wrong for group #3 (2272, counted=2273). Fix? no So this patch try to protect it with the ext4_lock_group. btw, it is found by xfstests test case 269 and the volume is mkfsed with the parameter "-O ^resize_inode,^uninit_bg,extent,meta_bg,flex_bg,ext_attr" and I have run it 100 times and the error in e2fsck doesn't show up again.

ext4: fix potential NULL dereference in ext4_free_inodes_counts()

2012-05-28T18:16:57Z

The ext4_get_group_desc() function returns NULL on error, and ext4_free_inodes_count() function dereferences it without checking. There is a check on the next line, but it's too late. Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@kernel.org

ext4: make block group checksums use metadata_csum algorithm

2012-04-29T22:45:10Z

metadata_csum supersedes uninit_bg. Convert the ROCOMPAT uninit_bg flag check to a helper function that covers both, and make the checksum calculation algorithm use either crc16 or the metadata_csum chosen algorithm depending on which flag is set. Print a warning if we try to mount a filesystem with both feature flags set. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: calculate and verify inode checksums

2012-04-29T22:31:10Z

This patch introduces to ext4 the ability to calculate and verify inode checksums. This requires the use of a new ro compatibility flag and some accompanying e2fsprogs patches to provide the relevant features in tune2fs and e2fsck. The inode generation changes have been integrated into this patch. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"
