fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver

2015-07-23T18:59:40+00:00

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

ext3: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag

2013-07-21T02:03:20+00:00

When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug. The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in inode_init_always(). We can use the following program to trigger it: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open "); return -1; } close(fd); return 0; } The oops message looks like this: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:1992! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 crc16 cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod parport_pc parport serio_raw sg dcdbas pcspkr i2c_i801 ehci_pci ehci_hcd button acpi_cpufreq mperf e1000e ptp pps_core ttm drm_kms_helper drm hwmon i2c_algo_bit i2c_core ext3 jbd sd_mod ahci libahci libata scsi_mod uhci_hcd kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2882 Comm: tst_tmpfile Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #4 kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

ext3,ext4: don't mess with dir_file->f_pos in htree_dirblock_to_tree()

2013-07-01T12:12:38+00:00

Both ext3 and ext4 htree_dirblock_to_tree() is just filling the in-core rbtree for use by call_filldir(). All updates of ->f_pos are done by the latter; bumping it here (on error) is obviously wrong - we might very well have it nowhere near the block we'd found an error in.
