* quota: move unmount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig2010-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting filesystems. This means filesystems with their own quota handling can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling. Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

* quota: move remount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig2010-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently do_remount_sb calls into the dquot code to tell it about going from rw to ro and ro to rw. Move this code into the filesystem to not depend on the dquot code in the VFS - note ocfs2 already ignores these calls and handles remount by itself. This gets rid of overloading the quotactl calls and allows to unify the VFS and XFS codepaths in that area later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* ext3: make barrier options consistent with ext4Eric Sandeen2010-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ext4 was updated to accept barrier/nobarrier mount options in addition to the older barrier=0/1. The barrier story is complex enough, we should help people by making the options the same at least, even if the defaults are different. This patch allows the barrier/nobarrier mount options for ext3, while keeping nobarrier the default. It also unconditionally displays barrier status in show_options, and prints a message at mount time if barriers are not enabled, just as ext4 does.

* ext3: ext3_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_superEric Sandeen2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ext3_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext3_remount(). Port of ext4 commit a63c9eb2ce6f5028da90f282798232c4f398ceb8 by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.

This is one of the accesses that was causing the crc errors in journal replay as seen in kernel.org bugzilla #14354. The modifications were originally to keep the sb "more" in sync, so that a readonly fsck of the device didn't flag this as an error (as often), but apparently e2fsprogs deals with this differently now, anyway.

* ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not ↵Jan Kara2009-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

* filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato2009-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

| * ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressureToshiyuki Okajima2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.
