[2.6-GIT] NTFS: Release 2.1.24.

[Anton Altaparmakov]

Hi Linus, please pull from

rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aia21/ntfs-2.6.git/HEAD

This is the next NTFS update containing a ton of bug fixes several of 
which fix bugs people actually hit in the big bad world...

Please apply.  Thanks!

I am sending the changesets as actual patches generated using git 
format-patch for non-git users in follow up emails (in reply to this one).

Best regards,

	Anton

[PATCH 1/25] NTFS: Support more clean journal ($LogFile) states.

[Anton Altaparmakov]

NTFS: Support more clean journal ($LogFile) states.

      - Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk.  This
        means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty.
        The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot.  The user can then
        immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows
        boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a
        journal and empty it as it is clean by definition.
      - Support journals ($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.

[PATCH 2/25] NTFS: Allow highmem kmalloc() in ntfs_malloc_nofs() and add _nofail() version.

[Anton Altaparmakov]

NTFS: Allow highmem kmalloc() in ntfs_malloc_nofs() and add _nofail() version.

- Modify fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs() to do the kmalloc() based
  allocations with __GFP_HIGHMEM, analogous to how the vmalloc() based

Unrelated to this patch but why do you have this wrapper instead of
using kmalloc() where you can and__vmalloc() where you really have to?

Very easy.  Allocations are variable sized.  Without the wrapper I would
have to copy and paste the wrapped code all over the ntfs driver as
there is no way to tell which one I would need in advance.

I used to simply use vmalloc() but that caused loads of people's
machines to run out of vmalloc space in a matter of hours and also
vmalloc is much slower so I added the kmalloc if a page and vmalloc
otherwise.

Note just using kmalloc is no good as it doesn't go high enough in size
(again this problem was being hit by people which is why I had switched
to vmalloc in the first place).

Also kmalloc with size > PAGE_SIZE used to cause machines to run OOM and
give page order > 1 allocation failures, hence why I never use kmalloc
for more than one page any more.

Also note I only use the ntfs_malloc_nofs() wrapper if I have to.  If I
know how much I am allocating or at least know that the maximum is quite
small, I use kmalloc() directly.  It is pretty much only for the runlist
allocations that I use the wrapper as the runlist is typically small but
for fragmented files it can grow huge.  I have seen runlists consuming
over 256kiB of ram, without vmalloc that would be a real problem...

So things like

	rl = ntfs_malloc_nofs(rlsize = PAGE_SIZE);

should be changed to kmalloc(), right?

They could be but I would rather not.  What if one day I decide to
change how ntfs_malloc_nofs() works?  Then it would be needed to
carefully go through the whole driver looking for places where kmalloc
is used and change those, too.

>From a software design point of view you should never mix interfaces
when accessing an object if you want clean and maintainable code.  And
using kmalloc() sometimes and ntfs_malloc_nofs() at other times for the
same object would violate that.

The wrapper is a static inline so I would assume gcc can optimize away
everything when a constant size is passed in like in the example you
point out above.

Hey, I am not worried about performance. It's just that filesystems (or 
any other subsystem for that matter) should not invent their own memory 
allocators. Perhaps should provide a generic __vmalloc_fast() if this is 
really required?

Even if that were the case I would still use a wrapper.  I am far too
lazy to write __vmalloc(x, GFP_NOFS | __GFP_HIGHMEM); or even
__vmalloc(x, GFP_NOFS | __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_NOFAIL); when I can get
away with ntfs_malloc_nofs{,nofail}()...  (-;

I completely disagree with you given that this is not "inventing [...]
own memory allocators", it is just a convenient short hand.  I am sure a
lot of people would agree with you though.  It is just a matter of
personal preference.

I should add that this is not ntfs only, the idea is from another file
system which uses it, too.  Can't remember which one it was, though (xfs
maybe?).

Indeed. It is not just a matter of personal preference but also a matter 
of subsystems introducing duplicate code like this. Quick grepping shows 
UDF doing same thing  and XFS doing slightly differently but I am pretty 
sure I've seen it elsewhere too.

Yes, that is usually a good indication that a generic function should be
provided.  However having a generic function with complicated and long
arguments is no use as everyone will want their own shorter one anyway.
And given the function is static inline it actually makes no difference
to the generated code size.  Also calling it __vmalloc_fast makes no
sense as it doesn't always use vmalloc...  Given we have kmalloc and
vmalloc maybe it should be just malloc?

Obviously if there were a suitable generic function I would use it but I
and I imagine all the other users would still wrap it with the old name.

That it makes no difference to the generated code isn't enough. If somebody
if going over the kernel with a fine comb trying to fix memory allocations
(example as here), she will have to remember half a dozen slightly
different ways of doing the same thing, for no good reason. And probably
miss a bundle in the process. This is bad in itself.

I'd hope not.

[Yes, I can understand that each subsystem has its own "culture", and
 trying to force them all into the same mold is friction too.]

Does it make sense to pass __GFP_HIGHMEM to kmalloc()?  kmalloc() has
to return memory from lowmem, since it gives you an address from the
direct-mapped kernel area, so at best kmalloc() ignores this flag.

Correct, but it doesn't do any harm either AFAICS (it gets masked out by
kmalloc) and it makes the ntfs code simpler since I can then use the
same gfp_flags parameter both for the kmalloc and the vmalloc rather
than needing two different ones.

[PATCH 13/25] NTFS: Fix several bugs in fs/ntfs/attrib.c.

- 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.

BTW Anton, while looking for the best permission masks to be used when
mounting my NTFS paritions, I spotted what I think is a bug, or at
least an inconsistency between the way all fs drivers I use handle
umasks & friends, and the way NTFS does it. Basically, all the other
fs drivers take an octal representation of the masks. NTFS, instead,
seems to use _decimal_

(Of course, the spontaneous question is how comes that there isn't a
common fs code to read the common options?)

NTFS takes any.  It is happy with octal, decimal, and hex.  The ntfs 
driver uses linux/lib/vsprintf.c::simple_strtoul() with a zero base which 
autodetects which base to use so if you use umask=0222 it will take this 
as octal and if you use umask=222 it will take this as decimal and if you 
use 0x222 it will take this as decimal.

I do not see what is wrong with that.  It behaves exactly like I would 
expect it to.  Maybe I have strange expectations?  (-;

Best regards,

Uh. I was pretty sure I had tried the 0 prefix to get octal but it
failed, IIRC. Maybe I didn't run the test correctly, though.

I don't actually care one way or the other. I was just hoping for more
consistency across drivers :) This is why I went as far as suggesting
code sharing.

At least chmod(1) takes /only/ octal, so 666 isn't the number of the beast,
but plain rw for everybody ;-)

I think this should be consistent with that.

Ah, oops.  I don't think I ever noticed that.  I always have given it 
0xyz, i.e. "proper" octal.

Yes, I fully agree.  It should be consistent.  I will patch ntfs and send 
it to Linus for 2.6.14.

Thanks to both of you for pointing this out.

Anton,

Do these changes allow us to mount an NTFS volume created by Windows 
Vista/Longhorn beta 1 yet? I tried the driver in 2.6.13, and it complains 
about these $LogFile states, and ntfscp refuses to work.

If you're unaware of the problem, I'm happy to help debug it.

I am indeed unaware of the problem.  Could you try the latest kernel with 
the ntfs patches in it (Linus already merged them in the official git 
tree) and tell me if it now works?  Thanks a lot in advance!

Note you will need to try the ntfs driver itself and not ntfscp as libntfs 
does not have these changes yet hence ntfscp will not work just the same 
(it does not use the kernel driver at all, it only uses libntfs).

Best regards,

So far the current NTFS code worked fine with Longhorn/Vista releases.
WinFS and TxFS (transactional NTFS) are on top of current NTFS and MS
engineers claim that they work hard to avoid on-disk NTFS format changes.

This happens probably due to the recent, strict $LogFile check changes.
Several people reported these and Anton is investigating it.

Anybody [keep] confirming that the current Linux NTFS code still works 
on the latest Vista beta releases would be highly encouraging for all 
of us ;)

The latest ntfsprogs CVS has also these changes and every tool should work
fine with Vista (ntfscp, ntfsresize, ntfsundelete, ntfsclone, etc).

I have limited access to the beta, as it expires every 30 days and forces me 
to reinstall it. I promise to get back to all of you after 2.6.14 is released 
with the LogFile changes.

To clarify, I did not leave the Vista NTFS volume in an inconsistent state. I 
even forced a chkdsk, rebooted, let it run through, then attempted again to 
mount it with the NTFS code in 2.6.13. This categorically fails.

Thanks. Also, if you don't want to patch or compile yourself now then you 
could just download and unpack this latest CVS ntfsclone binary (used by us 
to collect NTFS metadata images for investigation):

     http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/snapshots/ntfsclone-static-1.11.3-WIP2.tgz

and run e.g.

     ntfsclone --metadata --output vista-ntfs.img <partition>

If it gives an error then rerun with the --debug option and the end of the 
output will tell what's the reason for the failure.

Currently this is the expected behavior if you "interrupt" the chkdsk 
procedure. If you schedule chkdsk then you must boot Windows twice, not 
only once. Otherwise you get the below error message

   NTFS error: ntfs_check_logfile(): Did not find any restart pages in
   $LogFile and it was not empty.

which means that the log was used by chkdsk which will be handled by the 
next Windows boot. At present the Linux NTFS code can't cope with this 
scenario so you must boot Windows again and then Linux. If you did so, then 
well, the above command could tell the reason.

BTW, this is not Vista only feature.

I was free today, so I built a 2.6.14-rc4 kernel on the machine with the 
Longhorn NTFS volume. It now mounts without warnings in dmesg, and I've 
verified that ntfscp works properly.

Thanks!

Great!  Thanks for letting us know!
