Sun, 17 May 2026 05:44:47 +0200

ntfs: remove unsupported quota handlingThe ntfs driver does not implement quota accounting. It createsnew inodes with the NTFS 1.2 $STANDARD_INFORMATION layout and doesnot maintain the NTFS 3.x owner_id/quota_charged fields or the$Quota usage records that Windows would need for meaningful quotaaccounting.The only runtime quota path left in the driver is the remount-rwcode that tries to mark $Quota/$Q out of date, plus the mount-timecode that loads $Quota and its $Q index solely to support thatmarker.Since the driver does not maintain the per-file quota metadata,setting QUOTA_FLAG_OUT_OF_DATE does not make the quota statemeaningful, and failures in this unsupported path can unnecessarilyblock remount-rw or force a mount read-only.Remove the quota marker, the $Quota/$Q loading state, and theunused quota volume flag. Keep the on-disk quota layout definitionsin layout.h so the documented NTFS structures remain available.Suggested-by: Hyunchul Lee Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANFS6bYTzioqZjYt=51Kb9RdR3MKXaez_fh_WCLoym093VxFmg@mail.gmail.com/Signed-off-by: DaeMyung Kang Reviewed-by: Hyunchul Lee Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon List of files: /linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile

b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd - License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Wed, 01 Nov 2017 15:07:57 +0100

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseMany source files in the tree are missing licensing information, whichmakes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the defaultlicense of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally bindingshorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart andPhilippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset ofthe use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up caseswhere non-standard license headers were used, and references to licensehad to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied toa file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of theoutput of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDXtag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared thebase worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 filesassessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scannerresults in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was notimmediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).All documentation files were explicitly excluded.The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX licenseidentifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on thespreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to thesource files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmationby lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base fromFOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scannersdisagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. TheWindriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, sothey are related.Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheetsfor the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in thefiles he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checksin about 15000 files.In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to havecopy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect thecorrect identifier.Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manualinspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patchversion early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correctThis produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. Thisworksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for thedifferent types of files to be modified.These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script toparse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in theformat that the file expected. This script was further refined by Gregbased on the output to detect more types of files automatically and todistinguish between header and source .c files (which need differentcomment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files togenerate the patches.Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile

NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock.Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providingdebug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causesbalance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems withlittle memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which triesto take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in adeadlock.We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. Thishas the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if thejournal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improveon this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so itcan be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the momentand the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds List of files: /linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile

Tue, 11 Oct 2005 16:40:40 +0200

NTFS: The big ntfs write(2) rewrite has arrived. We now implement our own file operations ->write(), ->aio_write(), and ->writev() for regular files. This replaces the old use of generic_file_write(), et al and the address space operations ->prepare_write and ->commit_write. This means that both sparse and non-sparse (unencrypted and uncompressed) files can now be extended using the normal write(2) code path. There are two limitations at present and these are that we never create sparse files and that we only have limited support for highly fragmented files, i.e. ones whose data attribute is split across multiple extents. When such a case is encountered, EOPNOTSUPP is returned.Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov List of files: /linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile

NTFS: Support more clean journal ($LogFile) states. - Support journals ($LogFile) which have been modified by chkdsk. This means users can boot into Windows after we marked the volume dirty. The Windows boot will run chkdsk and then reboot. The user can then immediately boot into Linux rather than having to do a full Windows boot first before rebooting into Linux and we will recognize such a journal and empty it as it is clean by definition. - Support journals ($LogFile) with only one restart page as well as journals with two different restart pages. We sanity check both and either use the only sane one or the more recent one of the two in the case that both are valid.Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov List of files: /linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile
