After some considerable time letting this patch 'age', here's an update to 2.4.18:
http://people.nl.linux.org/~phillips/htree/htree-2.4.18
The diff to 2.4.17 was provided by Ted Ts'o, and bug hunting/fixing by Chris Li (who has the rather interesting email address <chrisl@gnuchina.org>). Chris is working on the Ext3 port as well.
Bill Irwin is providing loving care and attention to the hash function, so I feel it's in good hands.
Known Bug:
- highmem doesn't work (because the kmapping code is wrong)
To Do:
- Finalize hash function. - Coalesce on delete. I have to do this sooner rather than later, since hash bucket fragmentation leads quickly to reduced leaf fullness. - Stable telldir cookie for NFS - Ext2 util updates (in progress, Ted Ts'o) - Miscellaneous source cleanups
Because of the unfinalized hash function, this patch is still for testing only.
