      Andreas says:
      
      This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative
      times (before Jan 1, 1970).  This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range
      of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow -
      now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting
      timestamps into the distant past.
      
      If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
      limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values.  At worst this
      will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
      (files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
      
      That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
      into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
      the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
      
      On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps
      to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so
      this extends the maximum date to 2242.

      Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly.  It ends
      up returning -EIO.  Here is the patch to fix it.
      
      If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1
      (we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block.  But I
      really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here.
      (doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped).
      
      ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.  It returns 0
      in case of HOLE.  ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its
      dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

      [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes · 1c2bf374
      Mingming Cao 提交于
      Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
      int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based).  While
      trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
      blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
      to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning).  So it seem saner to define
      two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
      group-relative blocks.  The following patches clarify these two types of
      blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
      filesystem limit to 8TB.
      
      With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
      tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.
      
      This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
      the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
      ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
      ext3 filesystem block corresponding.
      
      Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
      been reviewed and discussed:
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2
      
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2
      
      Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
      >8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39).  Tests
      includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.
      
      This patch:
      
      Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
      filesystem wide blocks.
      
      This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
      occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before.  Also include
      kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables.  There are
      some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
      currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code.  This
      patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
      long) type.

      [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once · 89747d36
      Mingming Cao 提交于
      Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
      is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.
      
      I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
      with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
      way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
      basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2
      
      The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
      patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:
      
       [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
       [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
       [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
       (called via ext3_new_block()).
       [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
       [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
       of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
       possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.
      
      Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
      collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
      have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.
      
       1G file DIO write:
       	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
       real    0m31.275s	0m31.161s
       user    0m0.000s	0m0.000s
       sys     0m3.384s	0m0.564s
      
       1G file DIO read:
       	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
       real    0m30.733s	0m30.624s
       user    0m0.000s	0m0.004s
       sys     0m0.748s	0m0.380s
      
      Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
      and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
      time.
      
      This patch:
      
      Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.
      
      This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
      allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
      mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

      [PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead · d8733c29
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
      ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory.  So for large
      directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.
      
      So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead().  This means
      that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.
      
      Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
      but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
      address_space.  Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.
      
      Tested with printk.  It works.  I was struggling to find a real workload which
      actually cared.
      
      (The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules)
