Version 0.92 (2002-03-29)
|
==========
|
* Minor cleanup. Ran Lindent on the sources.
|
|
Version 0.92 (2002-03-27)
|
==========
|
* Fixed module makefile problem. It was not compiling all the correct
|
source files!
|
* Removed duplicated function definition
|
* Fixed potential null pointer dereference when reporting an error
|
|
Version 0.91 (2002-03-26)
|
==========
|
* Oy! Fixed stupid bug that would cause an unresolved symbol error.
|
Thanks to Laszlo Boszormenyi for pointing this out to me.
|
|
Version 0.9 (2002-03-14)
|
==========
|
* Added Sergey S. Kostyliov's patch to eliminate memcpy() overhead
|
from b+tree operations. Changes the befs_read_datastream() interface.
|
|
* Segregated the functions that interface directly with the linux vfs
|
interface into their own file called linuxvfs.c. [WD]
|
|
Version 0.64 (2002-02-07)
|
==========
|
* Did the string comparison really right this time (btree.c) [WD]
|
|
* Fixed up some places where I assumed that a long int could hold
|
a pointer value. (btree.c) [WD]
|
|
* Andrew Farnham <andrewfarnham@uq.net.au> pointed out that the module
|
wouldn't work on older (<2.4.10) kernels due to an unresolved symbol.
|
This is bad, since 2.4.9 is still the current RedHat kernel. I added
|
a workaround for this problem (compatibility.h) [WD]
|
|
* Sergey S. Kostyliov made befs_find_key() use a binary search to find
|
keys within btree nodes, rather than the linear search we were using
|
before. (btree.c) [Sergey S. Kostyliov <rathamahata@php4.ru>]
|
|
* Made a debian package of the source for use with kernel-package. [WD]
|
|
|
Version 0.63 (2002-01-31)
|
==========
|
* Fixed bug in befs_find_brun_indirect() that would result in the wrong
|
block being read. It was introduced when adding byteswapping in
|
0.61. (datastream.c) [WD]
|
|
* Fixed a longstanding bug in befs_find_key() that would result in it
|
finding the first key that is a substring of the string it is searching
|
for. For example, this would cause files in the same directory with
|
names like file1 and file2 to mysteriously be duplicates of each other
|
(because they have the same inode number). Many thanks to Pavel Roskin
|
for reporting this serious bug!!!
|
(btree.c) [WD]
|
|
* Added support for long symlinks, after Axel Dorfler explained up how
|
they work. I had forgotten all about them. (inode.c, symlink.c) [WD]
|
|
* Documentation improvements in source. [WD]
|
|
* Makefile fix for independent module when CONFIG_MODVERSION is set in
|
kernel config [Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>]
|
|
* Compile warning fix for namei.c. [Sergey S. Kostyliov <rathamahata@php4.ru>]
|
|
|
Version 0.62
|
==========
|
* Fixed makefile for module install [WD]
|
|
|
Version 0.61 (2002-01-20)
|
==========
|
* Made functions in endian.h to do the correct byteswapping, no matter
|
the arch. [WD]
|
|
* Abbandoned silly checks for a NULL superblock pointer in debug.c. [WD]
|
|
* Misc code cleanups. Also cleanup of this changelog file. [WD]
|
|
* Added byteswapping to all metadata reads from disk.
|
Uses the functions from endian.h [WD]
|
|
* Remove the typedef of struct super_block to vfs_sb, as it offended
|
certain peoples' aesthetic sense. [WD]
|
|
* Ditto with the befs_read_block() interface. [WD]
|
|
|
Version 0.6 (2001-12-15)
|
==========
|
* Cleanup of NLS functions (util.c) [WD]
|
|
* Make directory lookup/read use the NLS if an iocharset is provided. [WD]
|
|
* Fixed stupid bug where specifying the uid or gid mount options as '0'
|
would result in the filesystem using the on-disk uid and gid. [WD]
|
|
* Added mount option to control debug printing.
|
The option is, simply enough, 'debug'.
|
(super.c, debug.c) [WD]
|
|
* Removed notion of btree handle from btree.c. It was unnecessary, as the
|
linux VFS doesn't allow us to keep any state between calls. Updated
|
dir.c, namei.c befs_fs.h to account for it. [WD]
|
|
* Improved handleing of overflow nodes when listing directories.
|
Now works for overflow nodes hanging off of nodes other than the root
|
node. This is the cleaner solution to Brent Miszalaski's problem. [WD]
|
|
* Added new debug/warning/error print functions in debug.c.
|
More flexible. Will soon be controllable at mount time
|
(see TODO). [WD]
|
|
* Rewrote datastream position lookups.
|
(datastream.c) [WD]
|
|
* Moved the TODO list to its own file.
|
|
|
Version 0.50 (2001-11-13)
|
==========
|
* Added workaround for mis-understanding of the nature of the b+trees used
|
in directories. A cleaner solution will come after I've thought about it
|
for a while. Thanks to Brent Miszalaski for finding and reporting this bug.
|
(btree.c) [WD]
|
|
* Minor cleanups
|
|
* Added test for "impossible" condition of empty internal nodes in
|
seekleaf() in btree.c [WD]
|
|
* Implemented the abstracted read_block() in io.c [WD]
|
|
* Cleaned up the inode validation in inode.c [WD]
|
|
* Anton Altaparmakov figured out (by asking Linus :) ) what was causing the
|
hanging disk io problem. It turns out you need to have the sync_pages
|
callback defined in your address_space_ops, even if it just uses the
|
default linux-supplied implementation. Fixed. Works now.
|
(file.c) [WD]
|
|
* Anton Altaparmakov and Christoph Hellwig alerted me to the fact that
|
filesystem code should be using GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_KERNEL as the
|
priority parameter to kmalloc(). Fixed.
|
(datastream.c, btree.c super.c inode.c) [WD]
|
|
* Anton also told me that the blocksize is not allowed to be larger than
|
the page size in linux, which is 4k i386. Oops. Added a test for
|
(blocksize > PAGE_SIZE), and refuse to mount in that case. What this
|
practically means is that 8k blocksize volumes won't work without a major
|
restructuring of the driver (or an alpha or other 64bit hardware). [WD]
|
|
* Cleaned up the befs_count_blocks() function. Much smarter now.
|
And somewhat smaller too. [WD]
|
|
* Made inode allocations use a slab cache
|
(super.c inode.c) [WD]
|
|
* Moved the freeing of the private inode section from put_inode() to
|
clear_inode(). This fixes a potential free twice type bug. Put_inode()
|
can be called multiple times for each inode struct. [WD]
|
|
* Converted all non vfs-callback functions to use befs_sb_info as the
|
superblock type, rather than struct super_block. This is for
|
portablity. [WD]
|
|
* Fixed a couple of compile warnings due to use of malloc.h, when slab.h
|
is the new way. (inode.c, super.c) [WD]
|
|
* Fixed erronous includes of linux/befs_fs_i.h and linux/befs_fs_sb.h
|
in inode.c [WD]
|
|
Version 0.45 (2001-10-29)
|
==========
|
* Added functions to get the private superblock and inode structures from
|
their enclosing public structures. Switched all references to the
|
private portions to use them. (many files) [WD]
|
|
* Made read_super and read_inode allocate the private portions of those
|
structures into the generic pointer fields of the public structures
|
with kmalloc(). put_super and put_inode free them. This allows us not
|
to have to touch the definitions of the public structures in
|
include/linux/fs.h. Also, befs_inode_info is huge (because of the
|
symlink string). (super.c, inode.c, befs_fs.h) [WD]
|
|
* Fixed a thinko that was corrupting file reads after the first block_run
|
is done being read. (datastream.c) [WD]
|
|
* Removed fsync() hooks, since a read-only filesystem doesn't need them.
|
[Christoph Hellwig].
|
|
* Fixed befs_readlink() (symlink.c) [Christoph Hellwig].
|
|
* Removed all the Read-Write stuff. I'll redo it when it is time to add
|
write support (various files) [WD].
|
|
* Removed prototypes for functions who's definitions have been removed
|
(befs_fs.h) [WD].
|
|
|
Version 0.4 (2001-10-28)
|
==========
|
* Made it an option to use the old non-pagecache befs_file_read() for
|
testing purposes. (fs/Config.in)
|
|
* Fixed unused variable warnings when compiling without debugging.
|
|
* Fixed a bug where the inode and super_block didn't get their blockbits
|
fields set (inode.c and super.c).
|
|
* Release patch version 11. AKA befs-driver version 0.4.
|
|
* Thats right. New versioning scheme.
|
I've done some serious testing on it now (on my box anyhow), and it
|
seems stable and not outragously slow. Existing features are more-or-less
|
correct (see TODO list). But it isn't 1.0 yet. I think 0.4 gives me some
|
headroom before the big 1.0.
|
|
|
2001-10-26
|
==========
|
* Fixed date format in this file. Was I smoking crack?
|
|
* Removed old datastream code from file.c, since it is nolonger used.
|
|
* Generic_read_file() is now used to read regular file data.
|
It doesn't chew up the buffer cache (it does page io instead), and seems
|
to be about as fast (even though it has to look up each file block
|
indivdualy). And it knows about doing readahead, which is a major plus.
|
So it does i/o in much larger chunks. It is the correct linux way. It
|
uses befs_get_block() by way of befs_readpage() to find the disk offsets
|
of blocks, which in turn calls befs_fpos2brun() in datastream.c to do
|
the hard work of finding the disk block number.
|
|
* Changed method of checking for a dirty filesystem in befs_read_super
|
(super.c). Now we check to see if log_start and log_end differ. If so,
|
the journal needs to be replayed, and the filesystem cannot be mounted.
|
|
* Fixed an extra instance of MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT in super.c
|
|
* Fixed a problem with reading the superblock on devices with large sector
|
sizes (such as cdroms) on linux 2.4.10 and up.
|
|
2001-10-24
|
==========
|
* Fix nasty bug in converting block numbers to struct befs_inode_addr.
|
Subtle, because the old version was only sometimes wrong.
|
Probably responsible for lots of problems. (inode.c)
|
|
* Fix bug with reading an empty directory. (btree.c and dir.c)
|
|
* This one looks good. Release patch version 10
|
|
2001-10-23
|
==========
|
* Added btree searching function.
|
|
* Use befs_btree_find in befs_lookup (namei.c)
|
|
* Additional comments in btree.c
|
|
2001-10-22
|
==========
|
* Added B+tree reading functions (in btree.c).
|
Made befs_readdir() use them them instead of the cruft in index.c.
|
|
2001-09-11
|
==========
|
* Converted befs_read_file() to use the new datastream code.
|
|
* Finally updated the README file.
|
|
* Added many comments.
|
|
* Posted version 6
|
|
* Removed byte-order conversion code.
|
I have no intention of supporting it, and it was very ugly.
|
Flow control with #ifdef (ugh). Maybe I'll redo it once
|
native byteorder works 100%.
|
|
2001-09-10
|
==========
|
* Finished implementing read_datastream()
|
|
* made befs_read_brun() more general
|
Supports an offset to start at and a max bytes to read
|
Added a wrapper function to give the old call
|
|
2001-09-30
|
==========
|
* Discovered that the datastream handleing code in file.c is quite deficient
|
in several respects. For one thing, it doesn't deal with indirect blocks
|
|
* Rewrote datastream handleing.
|
|
* Created io.c, for io related functions.
|
Previously, the befs_bread() funtions lived in file.c
|
Created the befs_read_brun() function.
|
|
|
2001-09-07
|
==========
|
* Made a function to actually count the number of fs blocks used by a file.
|
And helper functions.
|
(fs/befs/inode.c)
|
|
2001-09-05
|
==========
|
* Fixed a misunderstanding of the inode fields.
|
This fixed the problmem with wrong file sizes from du and others.
|
The i_blocks field of the inode struct is not the number of blocks for the
|
inode, it is the number of blocks for the file. Also, i_blksize is not
|
necessarily the size of the inode, although in practice it works out.
|
Changed to blocksize of filesystem.
|
(fs/befs/inode.c)
|
|
* Permanently removed code that had been provisionally ifdefed out of befs_fs.h
|
|
* Since we don't support access time, make that field zero, instead of
|
copying m_time.
|
(fs/befs/inode.c)
|
|
* Added sanity check for inode reading
|
Make sure inode we got was the one we asked for.
|
(fs/befs/inode.c)
|
|
* Code cleanup
|
Local pointers to commonly used structures in inode.c.
|
Got rid of abominations befs_iaddr2inode() and befs_inode2ino().
|
Replaced with single function iaddr2blockno().
|
(fs/befs/super.c) (fs/befs/inode.c)
|
|
2001-09-01
|
==========
|
* Fixed the problem with statfs where it would always claim the disk was
|
half full, due to improper understanding of the statfs fields.
|
(fs/befs/super.c)
|
|
* Posted verion 4 of the patch
|
|
2001-09-01
|
==========
|
* Changed the macros in befs_fs.h to inline functions.
|
More readable. Typesafe. Better
|
(include/linux/befs_fs.h)
|
|
* Moved type definitions from befs_fs.h to a new file, befs_fs_types.h
|
Because befs_fs_i.h and befs_fs_sb.h were including befs_fs.h for the
|
typedefs, and they are inlcuded in <linux/fs.h>, which has definitions
|
that I want the inline functions in befs_fs.h to be able to see. Nasty
|
circularity.
|
(include/linux/befs_fs.h)
|
|
2001-08-30
|
==========
|
* Cleaned up some wording.
|
|
* Added additional consitency checks on mount
|
Check block_size agrees with block_shift
|
Check flags == BEFS_CLEAN
|
(fs/befs/super.c)
|
|
* Tell the kernel to only mount befs read-only.
|
By setting the SB_RDONLY flag in befs_read_super().
|
Not that it was possible to write before. But now the kernel won't even try.
|
(fs/befs/super.c)
|
|
* Got rid of kernel warning on mount.
|
The kernel doesn't like it if you call set_blocksize() on a device when
|
you have some of its blocks open. Moved the second set_blocksize() to the
|
very end of befs_read_super(), after we are done with the disk superblock.
|
(fs/befs/super.c)
|
|
* Fixed wrong number of args bug in befs_dump_inode
|
(fs/befs/debug.c)
|
|
* Solved lots of type mismatches in kprint()s
|
(everwhere)
|
|
2001-08-27
|
==========
|
* Cleaned up the fs/Config.in entries a bit, now slightly more descriptive.
|
|
* BeFS depends on NLS, so I made activating BeFS enable the NLS questions
|
(fs/nls/Config.in)
|
|
* Added Configure.help entries for CONFIG_BEFS_FS and CONFIG_DEBUG_BEFS
|
(currently at fs/befs/Kconfig)
|
|
2001-08-??
|
==========
|
* Removed superblock locking calls in befs_read_super(). In 2.4, the VFS
|
hands us a super_block struct that is already locked.
|
|
2001-08-13
|
==========
|
* Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com> is now attempting to maintain this module
|
Makoto Kato <m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp> is original author.Daniel Berlin
|
also did some work on it (fixing it up for the later 2.3.x kernels, IIRC).
|
|
* Fixed compile errors on 2.4.1 kernel (WD)
|
Resolve rejected patches
|
Accommodate changed NLS interface (util.h)
|
Needed to include <linux/slab.h> in most files
|
Makefile changes
|
fs/Config.in changes
|
|
* Tried to niceify the code using the ext2 fs as a guide
|
Declare befs_fs_type using the DECLARE_FSTYPE_DEV() macro
|
|
* Made it a configure option to turn on debugging (fs/Config.in)
|
|
* Compiles on 2.4.7
|
