If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command. The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation. If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.
While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.
The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks. The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).
Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:
- FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.
- Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
of FS.
- Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.
Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:
JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
- Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
- QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
- a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in
- no changes from my original patch. I tested the patch and the codes
warn but
- still mount. With all due respection I believe the comments
otherwise were a
- misread of the patch. Please reread/test and comment. XFS patch
removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)
- if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g. usrquota and
usrjquota)
- mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g. usrjquota and
grpquota)

These are the ext2 related parts. Ext2 now uses the xip_* file operations
along with the get_xip_page aop when mounted with -o xip.

Implements a new set of block address_space_operations which will never
attach buffer_heads to file pagecache. These can be turned on for ext2
with the `nobh' mount option.
During write-intensive testing on a 7G machine, total buffer_head
storage remained below 0.3 megabytes. And those buffer_heads are
against ZONE_NORMAL pagecache and will be reclaimed by ZONE_NORMAL
memory pressure.
This work is, of course, a special for the huge highmem machines.
Possibly it obsoletes the buffer_heads_over_limit stuff (which doesn't
work terribly well), but that code is simple, and will provide relief
for other filesystems.
It should be noted that the nobh_prepare_write() function and the
PageMappedToDisk() infrastructure is what is needed to solve the
problem of user data corruption when the filesystem which backs a
sparse MAP_SHARED mapping runs out of space. We can use this code in
filemap_nopage() to ensure that all mapped pages have space allocated
on-disk. Deliver SIGBUS on ENOSPC.
This will require a new address_space op, I expect.

I finally had time to look at the Orlov patches, and found a memory
leak; sbi->s_debts wasn't getting freed when the filesystem was
getting unmounted, or in the error path.
This patch also makes the following cleanups/changes:
1) Use sbi->s_debts instead of sbi->debts --- all other fields in
struct ext2_sb_info are prefixed by "s_", so this makes things
consistent.
2) Add support for a new inode flag, EXT2_TOPDIR_FL, which tells tells
the Orlov allocator to treat that directory as the top of
directory hierarchies, so that new subdirectories created in
that directory should be spread apart. System administrators
should set this flag on directories like /usr/src, /usr/home, etc.
3) Add a mount-time flag, -o oldalloc, which forces the use of the old
inode (pre-Orlov) allocator. This makes it easier to do
comparison benchmarks, and in case people want to use the old
algorithm.

This patch adds ACL support to the ext2 filesystem.

This patch adds extended attribute support to the ext2 filesystem. This
uses the generic extended attribute patch which was developed by Andreas
Gruenbacher and the XFS team. As a result, the user space utilities
which work for XFS will also work with these patches.

This patch allows forward compatibility with future filesystems which
are dynamically grown by using an alternate algorithm for storing the
block group descriptors. It's also a bit more efficient, in that it
uses just a little bit less disk space. Currently, the ext2 filesystem
format requires either relocating the inode table, or reserving space in
before doing the on-line resize. The new scheme, which is documented in
"Planned Extensions to the Ext2/3 Filesystem", by Stephen Tweedie and I
(see: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/extensions-ext23)

This patch adds support for default mount options to be stored in the
superblock, so they don't have to be specified on the mount command line
(or in /etc/fstab). While I was in the code, I also cleaned up the
handling of how mount options are processed in the ext2 and ext3
filesystems.
Most mount options are now processed *after* the superblock has been
read in. This allows for a much cleaner handling of those default mount
option parameters that were already stored in the superblock: the
resuid, resgid, and s_errors fields were handled using some fairly gross
special cases. Now the only mount option which is processed first is
the sb option, which specifies the location of the superblock. This
allows the handling of all of the default mount parameters to be much
more cleanly and more generally handled.
This does change the behaviour from earlier kernels, in that if the sb
mount option is specified, it must be specified *first*. However, this
option is rarely used, and if it is, it generally is specified first, so
this seems to be a reasonable restriction.

This last patch removes the union, replacing it with s_fs_info.

An implementation of directory-synchronous mounts.
I sent this out some months ago and it didn't generate a lot of
interest. Later we had one of the usual cheery exchanges with Wietse
Venema (postfix development) and he agreed that directory synchronous
mounts were something that he could use, and that there was benefit in
implementing them in Linux. If you choose to apply this I'll push the
2.4 patch.
Patch against e2fsprogs-1.26:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/dirsync/e2fsprogs-1.26.patch
Patch against util-linux-2.11n:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/dirsync/util-linux-2.11n.patch
The kernel patch includes implementations for ext2 and ext3. It's
pretty simple.
- When dirsync is in operation against a directory, the following operations
are synchronous within that directory: create, link, unlink, symlink,
mkdir, rmdir, mknod, rename (synchronous if either the source or dest
directory is dirsync).
- dirsync is a subset of sync. So `mount -o sync' or `chattr +S'
give you everything which `mount -o dirsync' or `chattr +D' gives,
plus synchronous file writes.
- ext2's inode.i_attr_flags is unused, and is removed.
- mount /dev/foo /mnt/bar -o dirsync works as expected.
- An ext2 or ext3 directory tree can be set dirsync with `chattr +D -R'.
- dirsync is maintained as new directories are created under
a `chattr +D' directory. Like `chattr +S'.
- Other filesystems can trivially be taught about dirsync. It's just
a matter of replacing `IS_SYNC(inode)' with `IS_DIRSYNC(inode)' in
the directory update functions. IS_SYNC will still be honoured when
IS_DIRSYNC is used.
- Non-directory files do not have their dirsync flag propagated. So
an S_ISREG file which is created inside a dirsync directory will not
have its dirsync bit set. chattr needs to do this as well.
- There was a bit of version skew between e2fsprogs' idea of the
inode flags and the kernel's. That is sorted out here.
- `lsattr' shows the dirsync flag as "D". The letter "D" was
previously being used for Compressed_Dirty_File. I changed
Compressed_Dirty_File to use "Z". Is that OK?
The mount(2) manpage needs to be taught about MS_DIRSYNC.
