hfsplus journal detection - try 4

[Warren Turkal]

Here's another shot at this patch. I found a small issue with sparse.
If this is suitable for inclusion, could someone please pull it into
their tree so that it can be merged upstream?

Thanks,
wt

[PATCH] Fix journal detection on HFS+.

[Warren Turkal]

The code was unconditionally assumming that the volume had a jounal if the
jounal attribute was set in the volume header. However, the volume also has to
have a non-zero journal info block to actually have a journal.

You could try sending it to someone who cares.  Roman apparently
doesn't, hfsplus is officially unmaintained.  Guess that leaves Andrew
Morton.

Re: hfsplus journal detection - try 4

[Warren Turkal]

Andrew,

I am sending this to you since it's a small patchset and I'm not
getting any traction with the alleged HFS+ maintainer. Is this small
enough to make it into 2.6.28 or will it have to wait for the next
cycle?

BTW, I am the guy who just came to your cube to bug you.

Thanks,
wt

I don't follow linux-fsdevel much.  cc'ing linux-kernel gets my attention.

This patchset is missing an overall description of the problem which is
being solved.  I can kinda see what the changes do, but it would be
much better if we were provided with a description of the kernel
behaviour before and after the patches.

OK, but so what?

Presumably there is some situation in which this is causing you a
problem, but what is that situation, and what was the kernel's
behaviour in that situation?

The patch itself looks OK to me.

again: what was wrong with the old code??

If it was causing some compilation problem then please quote the compiler
output in the changelog.

I didn't write this patch, but I was the original author of this driver.
The issue here is that Apple added a journal feature after the fact and
the current Linux driver doesn't support that. The current code just
checks for the equivalent of a feature bit, while this change makes it
also confirm that there really is a journal file. Without this change,
an HFS+ file system that has been setup to do transactional changes but
doesn't currently have an actual journal file allocated will not be
mountable with the Linux driver.

Just as a side note, although I am the original author I have never
claimed to maintain this code. In fact, I wasn't the one that submitted
it for inclusion. In any case, I don't plan on adding myself as maintainer.

I just realized what you were asking after I sent my other reply. The
include needs to move so 'struct hfsplus_vh' is declared before the
function prototype. That happens in hfsplus_fs.h.

My apologies for the noise, although I stand by my statement that I
have no intention of actively maintaining this code myself.

The original submitter would need to include the actual compiler output.

Re: [PATCH] Fix journal detection on HFS+.

[Warren Turkal]

The kernel was mounting an HFS+ FS ro if the volume header indicated
that it had a journal and the journal info block was 0. The kernel
should just treat the volume as not having a journal in that case.
