Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.6

Kernel.org Mirrors

Full Changelog

Ok, there it is (well, the tar-file and patches are still being up-loaded, but should be there soon).

NTFS, XFS, FAT and CIFS updates. IDE cache-flush at shutdown fixes. ppc, sparc, s390 and ARM updates (and a few x86-64 fixes).

Holler if I missed anything,

Linus

Summary of changes from v2.6.6-rc3 to v2.6.6

Adam Belay:

• writeback livelock fix
• fadvise length handling fix
• task_struct alignment fix

Andries E. Brouwer:

• report size of printk buffer

Anton Altaparmakov:

• NTFS: Use get_bh() instead of manual atomic_inc() in fs/ntfs/compress.c
• NTFS: - Modify fs/ntfs/time.c::ntfs2utc(), get_current_ntfs_time(), and utc2ntfs() to work with struct timespec instead of time_t on the Linux UTC time side thus preserving the full precision of the NTFS time and only loosing up to 99 nano-seconds in the Linux UTC time.
• NTFS: - Remove unused ntfs_dirty_inode()
• NTFS: Wrap flush_dcache_mft_record_page() in #ifdef NTFS_RW
• NTFS: Add NInoTestSetFoo() and NInoTestClearFoo() macro magic to fs/ntfs/inode.h and use it to declare NInoTest{Set,Clear}Dirty.
• NTFS: Move typedefs for ntfs_attr and test_t from fs/ntfs/inode.c to fs/ntfs/inode.h so they can be used elsewhere.
• NTFS: Determine the mft mirror size as the number of mirrored mft records and store it in ntfs_volume->mftmirr_size (fs/ntfs/super.c).
• NTFS: Load the mft mirror at mount time and compare the mft records stored in it to the ones in the mft (fs/ntfs/super.c).
• NTFS: - Fix compiler warnings related to type casting
• NTFS: Read the journal ($LogFile) and determine if the volume has been shutdown cleanly and force a read-only mount if not (fs/ntfs/super.c and fs/ntfs/logfile.c). This is a little bit of a crude check in that we only look at the restart areas and not at the actual log records so that there will be a very small number of cases where we think that a volume is dirty when in fact it is clean. This should only affect volumes that have not been shutdown cleanly and did not have any pending, non-check-pointed i/o.
• NTFS: Eeek. Forgot to revert the Makefile before checking it in last time
• NTFS: 2.1.8 release - If the $LogFile indicates a clean shutdown and a read-write (re)mount is requested, empty $LogFile by overwriting it with 0xff bytes to ensure that Windows cannot cause data corruption by replaying a stale journal after Linux has written to the volume.
