Drop 53 on February 15, 2002 (jfs-2.4-1.0.14-patch.tar.gz or jfs-2.5.4-1.0.15-patch.gz and jfsutils-1.0.15.tar.gz) includes fixes to the file system and utilities. Utilities changes - eliminate invalid fsck.jfs internal error 10 - update xpeek and fsck.jfs man pages - better error message if device to be fsck.jfs'ed is not jfs - add support for 4.4 BSD-style getmntinfo (Christoph Hellwig) - include sys/types.h for BSD (Hiten Pandya) - use defacto standard autoconf macro for large file support (Christoph Hellwig) - general jfsutils code cleanup (all) File System changes - Fix trap when appending to very large file - Moving jfs headers into fs/jfs at Linus' request - Move up to linux-2.5.4 - Fix file size limit on 32-bit (Andi Kleen) - make changelog more read-able and include only 1.0.0 and above (Christoph Hellwig) - Don't allocate metadata pages from high memory. JFS keeps them kmapped too long causing deadlock. - Fix xtree corruption when creating file with >= 64 GB of physically contiguous dasd - Replace semaphore with struct completion for thread startup/shutdown (Benedikt Spranger) - cleanup Tx alloc/free (Christoph Hellwig) - Move up to linux-2.5.3 - thread cleanups (Christoph Hellwig) - First step toward making tblocks and tlocks dynamically allocated. Intro tid_t and lid_t to insulate the majority of the code from future changes. Also hide TxBlock and TxLock arrays by using macros to get from tids and lids to real structures. - minor list-handling cleanup (Christoph Hellwig) - Replace altnext and altprev with struct list_head For more details about JFS, please see the README or changelog.jfs Steve JFS for Linux http://oss.software.ibm.com/jfs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
