Kernel for Galaxy S24, rebased on CLO sources (WIP)
41bd606769
The log tree has a long standing problem that when a file is fsync'ed we only check for new ancestors, created in the current transaction, by following only the hard link for which the fsync was issued. We follow the ancestors using the VFS' dget_parent() API. This means that if we create a new link for a file in a directory that is new (or in an any other new ancestor directory) and then fsync the file using an old hard link, we end up not logging the new ancestor, and on log replay that new hard link and ancestor do not exist. In some cases, involving renames, the file will not exist at all. Example: mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb mount /dev/sdb /mnt mkdir /mnt/A touch /mnt/foo ln /mnt/foo /mnt/A/bar xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/foo <power failure> In this example after log replay only the hard link named 'foo' exists and directory A does not exist, which is unexpected. In other major linux filesystems, such as ext4, xfs and f2fs for example, both hard links exist and so does directory A after mounting again the filesystem. Checking if any new ancestors are new and need to be logged was added in 2009 by commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
