[PATCH 14/41] whiteout: Split of ext2_append_link() from ext2_add_link()

[Valerie Aurora]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>

The ext2_append_link() is later used to find or append a directory
entry to whiteout.

[PATCH 15/41] whiteout: ext2 whiteout support

[Valerie Aurora]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>

This patch adds whiteout support to EXT2. A whiteout is an empty directory
entry (inode == 0) with the file type set to EXT2_FT_WHT. Therefore it
allocates space in directories. Due to being implemented as a filetype it is
necessary to have the EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE flag set.

XXX - Whiteouts could be implemented as special symbolic links

Please check in the upstream e2fsprogs ext2_fs.h before defining new  
flag
values for ext2/3/4.  In this case, 0x40000 conflicts with  
EXT4_HUGE_FILE_FL,
which is of course bad.

This one doesn't conflict, probably due to luck, because 0x0040-0x0200  
are
already in use for other features.  I'm not sure if 0x0020 was  
reserved for
some other use, or just skipped to avoid potential conflicts.

Thanks for reviewing!  I'll fix that in the next rev.

I thought checkpatch didn't want to see spaces after a '*', so
"struct foo * ptr" should become "struct foo *ptr".

I also think that "struct page **page" should be renamed to "struct page
**ppage" or "struct page **pages", to avoid confusion with many other
functions which pass a "struct page *" pointer to a variable named "page".

Erez.

The extra parens around (de->file_type != EXT2_FT_WHT) don't hurt but are
unnecessary.  Ditto in a couple of other places in this patch.

So, why 123 and not at least some other unused number below 10: at least
that way it's in the ext2 "reserved" range should something go horribly
wrong (like a power failure right shortly thereafter).

BTW, this yet-unimplemented functionality should be mentioned under
"limitations" or something in the current design doc.  I also think the
design doc should list all short-term and long-term things that need to be
implemented, and in what order.
