- Enable the code for setting the NT4 compatibility flag when we start
making NTFS 1.2 specific modifications.
+2.1.25-WIP
+
+ - Change ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() and ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() to
+ also take an optional attribute search context as argument. This
+ allows calling these functions with the mft record mapped. Update
+ all callers.
+
+2.1.24 - Lots of bug fixes and support more clean journal states.
+
+ - Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk. This
+ means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty.
+ The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot. The user can then
+ immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows
+ boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a
+ journal and empty it as it is clean by definition. Note, this only
+ works if chkdsk left the journal in an obviously clean state.
+ - Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as
+ journals with two different restart pages. We sanity check both and
+ either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the
+ case that both are valid.
+ - Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to
+ ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and
+ hence cannot fail.
+ - Use ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() in the two critical regions in
+ fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_runlists_merge(). This means we no longer
+ need to panic() if the allocation fails as it now cannot fail.
+ - Fix two nasty runlist merging bugs that had gone unnoticed so far.
+ Thanks to Stefano Picerno for the bug report.
+ - Remove two bogus BUG_ON()s from fs/ntfs/mft.c.
+ - Fix handling of valid but empty mapping pairs array in
+ fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress().
+ - Report unrepresentable inodes during ntfs_readdir() as KERN_WARNING
+ messages and include the inode number. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for
+ pointing this out.
+ - Change ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock() to throw away the runlist if the new
+ length is zero.
+ - Add runlist.[hc]::ntfs_rl_punch_nolock() which punches a caller
+ specified hole into a runlist.
+ - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/index.c::ntfs_index_lookup(). When the returned
+ index entry is in the index root, we forgot to set the @ir pointer in
+ the index context. Thanks to Yura Pakhuchiy for finding this bug.
+ - Remove bogus setting of PageError in ntfs_read_compressed_block().
+ - Add fs/ntfs/attrib.[hc]::ntfs_resident_attr_value_resize().
+ - Fix a bug in ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() where we forgot to protect
+ access to the allocated size in the ntfs inode with the size lock.
+ - Fix ntfs_attr_vcn_to_lcn_nolock() and ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock() to
+ return LCN_ENOENT when there is no runlist and the allocated size is
+ zero.
+ - Fix load_attribute_list() to handle the case of a NULL runlist.
+ - Fix handling of sparse attributes in ntfs_attr_make_non_resident().
+ - Add BUG() checks to ntfs_attr_make_non_resident() and ntfs_attr_set()
+ to ensure that these functions are never called for compressed or
+ encrypted attributes.
+ - Fix cluster (de)allocators to work when the runlist is NULL and more
+ importantly to take a locked runlist rather than them locking it
+ which leads to lock reversal.
+ - Truncate {a,c,m}time to the ntfs supported time granularity when
+ updating the times in the inode in ntfs_setattr().
+ - Fixup handling of sparse, compressed, and encrypted attributes in
+ fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_{,attr_,index_}inode(),
+ fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}page().
+ - Make ntfs_write_block() not instantiate sparse blocks if they contain
+ only zeroes.
+ - Optimize fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_write_block() by extending the page
+ lock protection over the buffer submission for i/o which allows the
+ removal of the get_bh()/put_bh() pairs for each buffer.
+ - Fix fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_{read,write}_block() to handle the case
+ where a concurrent truncate has truncated the runlist under our feet.
+ - Fix page_has_buffers()/page_buffers() handling in fs/ntfs/aops.c.
+ - In fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_end_buffer_async_read(), use a bit spin lock
+ in the first buffer head instead of a driver global spin lock to
+ improve scalability.
+ - Minor fix to error handling and error message display in
+ fs/ntfs/aops.c::ntfs_prepare_nonresident_write().
+ - Change the mount options {u,f,d}mask to always parse the number as
+ an octal number to conform to how chmod(1) works, too. Thanks to
+ Giuseppe Bilotta and Horst von Brand for pointing out the errors of
+ my ways.
+ - Fix various bugs in the runlist merging code. (Based on libntfs
+ changes by Richard Russon.)
+ - Fix sparse warnings that have crept in over time.
+ - Change ntfs_cluster_free() to require a write locked runlist on entry
+ since we otherwise get into a lock reversal deadlock if a read locked
+ runlist is passed in. In the process also change it to take an ntfs
+ inode instead of a vfs inode as parameter.
+ - Fix the definition of the CHKD ntfs record magic. It had an off by
+ two error causing it to be CHKB instead of CHKD.
+ - Fix a stupid bug in __ntfs_bitmap_set_bits_in_run() which caused the
+ count to become negative and hence we had a wild memset() scribbling
+ all over the system's ram.
+
2.1.23 - Implement extension of resident files and make writing safe as well as
many bug fixes, cleanups, and enhancements...
