ext4, doc: fix incorrect h_reserved size

2022-04-13T02:24:46+00:00

According to document and code, ext4_xattr_header's size is 32 bytes, so h_reserved size should be 3. Signed-off-by: Wang Jianjian Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/92fcc3a6-7d77-8c09-4126-377fcb4c46a5@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@kernel.org

ext4: docs: Take out unneeded escaping

2021-10-07T14:46:02+00:00

The new file Documentation/orphan/ext4.rst escapes underscores ("\_") throughout. However, RST doesn't actually require that, so the escaping only succeeds in making the document less readable. Remove the unneeded escapes. Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210902220854.198850-3-corbet@lwn.net Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

ext4: docs: switch away from list-table

2021-10-07T14:46:02+00:00

Commit 3a6541e97c03 (Add documentation about the orphan file feature) added a new document on orphan files, which is great. But the use of "list-table" results in documents that are absolutely unreadable in their plain-text form. Switch this file to the regular RST table format instead; the rendered (HTML) output is identical.

ext4: update journal documentation

Add a section about journal checkpointing, including information about the ioctl EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT which can be used to trigger a journal checkpoint from userspace. Also, update the journal allocation information to reflect that up to 10240000 blocks are used for the journal and that the journal is not necessarily contiguous.

ext4: handle casefolding with encryption

2021-04-06T02:04:20+00:00

This adds support for encryption with casefolding. Since the name on disk is case preserving, and also encrypted, we can no longer just recompute the hash on the fly. Additionally, to avoid leaking extra information from the hash of the unencrypted name, we use siphash via an fscrypt v2 policy. The hash is stored at the end of the directory entry for all entries inside of an encrypted and casefolded directory apart from those that deal with '.' and '..'. This way, the change is backwards compatible with existing ext4 filesystems.
