This patch (as1239) updates the kernel's treatment of Unicode. The character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding. The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in lots of places. This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must have yielded an undefined code. Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs). Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni methods have been left unchanged.

Provide a new mount option ("tz=UTC") for DOS (vfat/msdos) filesystems, allowing timestamps to be in coordinated universal time (UTC) rather than local time in applications where doing this is advantageous. In particular, portable devices that use fat/vfat (such as digital cameras) can benefit from using UTC in their internal clocks, thus avoiding daylight saving time errors and general time ambiguity issues. The user of the device does not have to worry about changing the time when moving from place or when daylight saving changes. The new mount option, when set, disables the counter-adjustment that Linux currently makes to FAT timestamp info in anticipation of the normal userspace time zone correction. When used in this new mode, all daylight saving time and time zone handling is done in userspace as is normal for many other filesystems (like ext3). The default mode, which remains unchanged, is still appropriate when mounting volumes written in Windows (because of its use of local time). I originally based this patch on one submitted last year by Paul Collins, but I updated it to work with current source and changed variable/option naming. Ogawa Hirofumi (who maintains these filesystems) and I discussed this patch at length on lkml, and he suggested using the option name in the attached version of the patch. Barry Bouwsma pointed out a good addition to the patch as well.

This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the existing superblock lock instead. The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do. As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.

These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> This speeds up directory reads for large FAT partitions, if the buffercache has to be filled from the drive. Following values were taken from: $ time find path_to_freshly_mounted_fat > /dev/null on an otherwise idle system. FAT with 16KB Clusters on IDE attached drive: Factor 2 FAT with 32KB Clusters on USB2 attached drive: Factor 10 (!) Its less than 1/10 slower, if the buffercache is uptodate. The patch introduces the new function fat_dir_readahead(). fat_dir_readahead() calls sb_breadahead() to readahead a whole cluster, if the requested sector is the first one in a cluster. It is usefull to do this, because on FAT directories occupy whole clusters, with the exception of FAT12/FAT16 root dirs. Readahead is only done, if the cluster's first sector is not uptodate to avoid overhead, when the buffer cache is already uptodate. Note that under memory pressure, the maximal byte count wasted (read: has to be red from disk twice) is 1 cluster's size. Thats 64KB. fat_dir_readahead() is called from fat__get_entry(). There is also an unrelated cleanup at one spot: if (bh) brelse(bh); is replaced with: brelse(bh); brelse() can handle NULL pointer arguments by itself.
