Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Fix problems on multi-TB filesystem and file
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2006 19:05:31 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000201c611df$92dca230$4168010a@bsd.tnes.nec.co.jp> (raw)
This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust. He says:
The type "sector_t" is heavily tied in to the block layer interface
as an offset/handle to a block, and is subject to a supposedly
block-specific configuration option: CONFIG_LBD. Despite this, it is
used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of bytes on the stack
whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs().
So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a
network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD
is disabled.
The content of the patch attached to this mail is below.
- struct kstatfs
Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64.
f_blocks
f_bfree
f_bavail
f_files
f_ffree
Any feedback and comments are welcome.
