2007-04-25[JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse
In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

2007-04-23[JFFS2] Improve failure mode if inode checking leaves unchecked space.David Woodhouse
We should never find the unchecked size is non-zero after we've finished checking all inodes. If it happens, used to BUG(), leaving the alloc_sem held and deadlocking. Instead, just return -ENOSPC after complaining. The GC thread will die, but read-only operation should be able to continue and the file system should be unmountable.

2006-12-19[JFFS2] add cond_resched() when garbage collecting deletion direntArtem Bityutskiy
We observe soft lockups when doing heavy test which creates directory with a lot of direntries and deletes them. This cycle is the reason fo this. Make it nicer and add cond_resched() inside of it.

2006-06-27[JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak with jffs2_xattr_refKaiGai Kohei
If xattr_ref is associated with an orphan inode_cache on filesystem mounting, those xattr_refs are not released even if this inode_cache is released. This patch enables to call jffs2_xattr_delete_inode() for such a irregular inode_cachde too. Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-06-27[JFFS2][XATTR] using 'delete marker' for xdatum/xref deletionKaiGai Kohei
- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker') - When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written. (odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker') - delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one.

2006-05-24[JFFS2] Reduce visibility of raw_node_ref to upper layers of JFFS2 code.David Woodhouse
As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock, stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just _reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can just fill them in. Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

2006-05-23[JFFS2] Remove flash offset argument from various functions.David Woodhouse
We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's _always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-22[JFFS2] Extend jffs2_link_node_ref() to link into per-inode list too.David Woodhouse
Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead. This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with xattr_datum and xattr_ref structures -- we should find a nicer way of dealing with that.

2006-05-21[JFFS2] Add length argument to jffs2_add_physical_node_ref()David Woodhouse
If __totlen is going away, we need to pass the length in separately. Also stop callers from needlessly setting ref->next_phys to NULL, since that's done for them... and since that'll also be going away soon. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-21[JFFS2] Correct handling of JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_COPY nodes.David Woodhouse
We should preserve these when we come to garbage collect them, not let them get erased. Use jffs2_garbage_collect_pristine() for this, and make sure the summary code copes -- just refrain from writing a summary for any block which contains a node we don't understand.

2006-05-19[JFFS2] Support new device nodesDavid Woodhouse
Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it. We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo). This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it, it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we can expect. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-13[JFFS2][XATTR] Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic)KaiGai Kohei
Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic). jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly. In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref. It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage locking/unlocking. [5/10] jffs2-xattr-v5.1-05-update_xattr_gc.patch Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com>
2006-05-13[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

2006-04-17[JFFS2] Fix race in post-mount node checkingDavid Woodhouse
For a while now, we've postponed CRC-checking of data nodes to be done by the GC thread, instead of being done while the user is waiting for mount to finish. The GC thread would iterate through all the inodes on the system and check each of their data nodes. It would skip over inodes which had already been used or were already being read in by read_inode(), because their data nodes would have been examined anyway. However, we could sometimes reach the end of the for-each-inode loop and still have some unchecked space left, if an inode we'd skipped was _still_ in the process of being read. This fixes that race by actually waiting for read_inode() to finish rather than just moving on. Thanks to Ladislav Michl for coming up with a reproducible test case and helping to track it down.

2005-11-06[JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement)Ferenc Havasi
The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS) stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them) just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is needed at mount time. This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too. There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary information for a JFFS2 image.

2005-05-23[JFFS2] Core changes required to support JFFS2-on-Dataflash devices.Andrew Victor
DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528 bytes). There are a few places in JFFS2 code where sector_size is used as a bitmask. A new macro (SECTOR_ADDR) was defined to calculate these sector addresses. For non-DataFlash devices, the original (faster) bitmask operation is still used. In scan.c, the EMPTY_SCAN_SIZE was a constant of 1024. Since this could be larger than the sector size of the DataFlash, this is now basically set to MIN(sector_size, 1024). Addition of a jffs2_is_writebuffered() macro. Signed-off-by: Andrew Victor <andrew@sanpeople.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
