* [PATCH] Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.Stephen Tweedie2005-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal. ext3 usually reports error conditions that it detects in its environment. But when its journal gets aborted due to such errors, it can sometimes continue to report that condition forever, spamming the console to such an extent that the initial first cause of the journal abort can be lost. When the journal aborts, we put the filesystem into readonly mode. Most subsequent filesystem operations will get rejected immediately by checks for MS_RDONLY either in the filesystem or in the VFS. But some paths do not have such checks --- for example, if we continue to write to a file handle that was opened before the fs went readonly. (We only check for the ROFS condition when the file is first opened.) In these cases, we can continue to generate log errors similar to EXT3-fs error (device $DEV) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted for each subsequent write. There is really no point in generating these errors after the initial error has been fully reported. Specifically, if we're starting a completely new filesystem operation, and the filesystem is *already* readonly (ie. the ext3 layer has already detected and handled the underlying jbd abort), and we see an EROFS error, then there is simply no point in reporting it again.

* [PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_blockMingming Cao2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree won't be changed after we grab that semaphore. We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch(). The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more readable.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
