* ext4: Convert truncate_mutex to read write semaphore.Aneesh Kumar K.V2008-01-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | We are currently taking the truncate_mutex for every read. This would have performance impact on large CPU configuration. Convert the lock to read write semaphore and take read lock when we are trying to read the file. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* ext4: store maxbytes for bitmapped files and return EFBIG as appropriateEric Sandeen2008-01-281-1/+18
| | | | | | | | Calculate & store the max offset for bitmapped files, and catch too-large seeks, truncates, and writes in ext4, shortening or rejecting as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
* fallocate support in ext4Amit Arora2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date) with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently. Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of now. Signed-off-by: Amit Arora <aarora@in.ibm.com>
* sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+0
| | | | | | | They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [PATCH] ext4: change uses of f_{dentry, vfsmnt} to use f_pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek2006-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Change all the uses of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} to f_path.{dentry,mnt} in the ext4 filesystem. Signed-off-by: Josef "Jeff" Sipek <jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] ext4: initial copy of files from ext3Dave Kleikamp2006-10-111-0/+139
Start of the ext4 patch series. See Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt for details. This is a simple copy of the files in fs/ext3 to fs/ext4 and /usr/incude/linux/ext3* to /usr/include/ex4* Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
