2006-05-13	[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)	KaiGai Kohei	1	-1/+6
	This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

2005-11-06	[JFFS2] Use f->target instead of f->dents for symlink target	Artem B. Bityutskiy	1	-14/+12
	JFFS2 uses f->dents to store the pointer to the symlink target string (in case the inode is symlink). This is somewhat ugly to use the same field for different reasons. Introduce distinct field f->target for this purpose. Note, f->fragtree, f->dents, f->target may probably be put in a union. Signed-off-by: Artem B.

2005-08-19	[PATCH] Fix up symlink function pointers	Al Viro	1	-3/+3
	This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change: * afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs, smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link() * befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link() Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-19	[PATCH] jffs2: fix symlink error handling	Al Viro	1	-4/+6
	The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly complex. What we have is 1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself and ->put_link() will _not_ be called. 2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0 3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0 4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself) jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns -EIO and leaks nameidata.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+45
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
