Hi,
Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current upstream
merge window. Most of the patches fix GFS2 quotas, which were not properly
enforced. There's another that adds me as a GFS2 co-maintainer, and a
couple patches that fix a kernel panic doing splice_write on GFS2 as we
This time we have mostly clean ups. There is a bug fix for a NULL dereference
relating to ACLs, and another which improves (but does not fix entirely) an
allocation fall-back code path. The other three patches are small clean ups.
Steve.

Hi,
Not a huge amount this time... just four patches. This time we have a couple
of bug fixes, one relating to bad i_goal values which are now ignored (i_goal
is basically a hint so it is safe to so this) and another relating to the
saving of the dirent location during rename. There is one perform
Hi,
Here are a number of small fixes for GFS2. There is a fix for FIEMAP
on large sparse files, a negative dentry hashing fix, a fix for
flock, and a bug fix relating to d_splice_alias usage. There are
also (patches 1 and 5) a couple of updates which are less
critical, but small and low risk.
Ste
Hi,
Here are the current set of small fixes relating to GFS2.
This patch set contains two minor docs/spelling fixes, some fixes for
flock, a change to use GFP_NOFS to avoid recursion on a rarely used code
path and a fix for a race relating to the glock lru,

Hi,
This must be about the smallest merge window patch set ever for GFS2.
It is probably also the first one without a single patch from me. That
is down to a combination of factors, and I have some things in the works
that are not quite ready yet, that I hope to put in next time around.

Hi,
Here is the current content of the GFS2 -nmw tree for the
current merge window.
One of the main highlights this time, is not the patches themselves
but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
contributors to t
Hi,
Here are the pending patches for the merge window which are currently
in the GFS2 tree.
The main topics this time are allocation, in the form of Bob's
improvements when searching resource groups and several updates
to quotas which should increase scalability. The quota changes
follow on from
Hi,
Here is a set of small fixes for GFS2. There is a fix to drop
s_umount which is copied in from the core vfs, two patches
relate to a hard to hit "use after free" and memory leak.
Two patches related to using DIO and buffered I/O on the same
file to ensure correct operation in relation to glock
Hi,
Here are a couple of very small, but important, fixes,

Hi,
I'm just back from firstly Edinburgh, and secondly holiday, and the
merge window is again upon us. I've added in the three pending patches
which were under test while I was away and then that should be it for
this time.
The main feature of interest this time is quota updates. There are
some c
Hi,
This is the smallest merge window patch set for GFS2 for quite
some time. Only one of the patches (moving gfs2_sync_meta) is
a non-bug fix patch, although the merge ordered and writeback
writepage patch is also a nice clean up.
A couple of the patches are quite recently added, due to my only
Hi,
Out of these fives patches, the one for ensuring that the number of
revokes is not exceeded, and the one for checking the glock is not
already held in gfs2_getxattr are the two most important. The latter
can be triggered by selinux.
The other three patches are very small and fix mostly fairly
Hi,
There are a few bug fixes for various, mostly very minor corner
cases, plus some interesting new features. The new features
include atomic_open whose main benefit will be the reduction in
locking overhead in case of combined lookup/create and open operations,
sorting the log buffer lists by bl
There are four patches this time. The first fixes a problem where the
wrong descriptor type was being written into the log for journaled data
blocks. The second fixes a race relating to the deallocation of allocator
data. The third provides a fallback if kmalloc is unable to satisfy a
request to al
This time there are just four fixes. There are a couple of minor updates
to the quota code, a fix for KConfig to ensure that only valid combinations
including GFS2 can be built, and a fix for a typo affecting end i/o
processing when writing the journal.
Also, there is a temporary fix for a perform
Hi,
Since the merge window is coming up soon, I'm posting the content of
the GFS2 -nmw tree as usual. There is not a whole lot of change this
time - there are some further changes which are in the works, but those
will be held over until next time.
Here there are some clean ups to inode creation,
Hi,
Here are a few GFS2 fixes which are pending. There are two patches
which fix up a couple of minor issues in the DLM interface code,
a missing error path in gfs2_rs_alloc(), two patches which fix problems
during "withdraw" and a fix for discards/FITRIM when using 4k sector
sized devices,
Steve
This is one of the smallest collections of patches for the merge
window for some time. There are some clean ups relating to the
transaction code and the shrinker, which are mostly in preparation
for further development, but also make the code much easier to
follow in these areas.
There is a patch
Hi,
Here are four small bug fixes for GFS2. There is no common theme here
really, just a few items that were fixed recently. The first fixes
lock name generation when the glock number is 0. The second fixes a
race allocating reservation structures and the final two fix a performance
issue by makin
Hi,
So yes, this is a bit early, but the tree seems to have settled down
now, and I'd like to hold off any further feature patches until the
subsequent merge window at this stage.
The main feature this time is the new Orlov allocator and the patches
leading up to it which allow us to allocate new
Hi,
Here are a number of GFS2 bug fixes. There are three from Andy Price
which fix various issues spotted by automated code analysis. There are two
from Lukas Czerner fixing my mistaken assumptions as to how FITRIM
should work. Finally Ben Marzinski has fixed a bug relating to mmap and
atime and a
Hi,
We've collected up a goodly number of patches in the -nmw tree now
and we can hold off any further changes until the following merge
window, so here is the current tree content.
The major feature this time is the "rbm" conversion in the resource
group code. The new struct gfs2_rbm specifies t
Hi,
Here are three GFS2 fixes for the current kernel tree. These are all
related to the block reservation code which was added at the merge
window. That code will be getting an update at the forthcoming merge
window too. In the mean time though there are a few smaller issues
which should be fixed.
Hi,
As usual, here is the content of the GFS2 tree prior to sending
a merge request. Not a huge number of patches this time, but some
interesting features nonetheless.
A number of the earlier patches are aimed at cleaning up the resource
group code for the later patch which implements block reser
Hi,
Here is the current GFS2 patch queue. You'll notice that this time
there are no DLM patches in this list. That is because the DLM team
are setting up their own git tree and this future DLM patches will
be sent directly by them rather than via the GFS2 tree.
Most of this set of patches is cle
