|
||||
|
||||
-- Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Sun, 21 Apr 2024 23:58:04 -0400
|
||||
* Add support for post-2038 timestamps on platforms with 64-bit time_t.
|
||||
* Mke2fs -d can now support an input tar file if the libarchive library
|
||||
is available.
|
||||
* Install a udev rule to inihibit ext4 file systesm from being
|
||||
automounted by udisks.
|
||||
* Debugfs's 'hash' command has been enhanced to use the hash seed and
|
||||
algorithm from a superblock if a file system is opened and to display
|
||||
the hash seed and algorithm if the -v flag is given.
|
||||
* Teach mke2fs with a new extended options, root_perms, which overrides
|
||||
the permissions for the root directory for the new file system.
|
||||
* Preserve any error indicator in the superblock when replaying the
|
||||
journal so that a subsequent fsck can repair the file system afterwards.
|
||||
* Fix potential mke2fs failures when creating a file system with an
|
||||
orphan file when the storage device has a previous file system and
|
||||
does not support discard/trim commands.
|
||||
* E2fsck will clear the orphan_present feature silently in preen mode.
|
||||
* Fix potential checksum failures when performing an online resize when
|
||||
the mounted file system is actively modifying the superblock.
|
||||
* Fix a bug where a checksum failure in an htree directory can cause
|
||||
e2fsck's preen mode to abort unnecessarily.
|
||||
* Fix e2fsck's handling of an invalid symlink in an inline_data
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
* Fix e4crypt from issuing a spurious "success" error message when
|
||||
trying to set a policy on a non-directory.
|
||||
* Fix a potential infinite loop in debugfs's logdump command in some
|
||||
edge cases.
|
||||
* Fix e2fsck to correctly update quota usage after optimizing
|
||||
directories or deleting corrupted inodes.
|
||||
* Fix fuse2fs so that directories are created with the correct
|
||||
permissions instead of having the other and group write permissions
|
||||
masked off.
|
||||
* Fix a potential e2fsck divide by zero crash caused by a maliciously
|
||||
fuzzed file system.
|
||||
* Fix dumpe2fs to report free block ranges correctly for bigalloc file
|
||||
file systems.
|
||||
* Fix resize2fs where resizing a bigalloc file system can result in the
|
||||
free cluster count in the last block group and the total free clusters
|
||||
count to be incorrect.
|
||||
* Avoid spurious e2scrub failures caused by trying to scrub file
|
||||
syustems that do not have the journal enabled, and by aborting scrub
|
||||
runs while upgrading the e2fsprogs package
|
||||
* Teach tune2fs to detect a file system which is mounted but is not
|
||||
mentioned in the mount namespace where tune2fs is run by treating a
|
||||
block device which is busy as if it is mounted.
|
||||
* If tune2fs can't find the mountpoint for a file system which is
|
||||
apparently mounted (perhaps because it's not present in the current
|
||||
mount namespace) when attempting to set the label or UUID in the
|
||||
superblock, fall back to the old method of modifying block device and
|
||||
silence printing any error messages.
|
||||
* If both the primary superblock and first block group's backup
|
||||
superblock are corrupted, e2fsck will now try additional backup
|
||||
superblocks if they are available.
|
||||
* Avoid mke2fs from creating an invalid file system with an insufficient
|
||||
number of inodes when creating a file system which is very small
|
||||
(100k), a block size of 1k, and an inode size of 256 bytes.
|
||||
* Fix a potential deadlock caused by e2fsck being run in Direct I/O mode
|
||||
with the threading optimization enabled.
|
||||
* Update and clarify various man pages. (Closes: #1038286)
|
||||
* Add support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable
|
||||
* Improve resize2fs's performance by eliminating extra cache flushes.
|
||||
* Improve mke2fs's performance when zeroing a large number of inode
|
||||
table blocks (when lazy inode table initialization is not enabled) by
|
||||
batching calls to ext2fs_zero_blocks.
|
||||
* Use a safe_getenv function for all calls to fetch the environment
|
||||
variable in libext2fs.
|
||||
* Upgrade fuse2fs to use fuse v3.
|
||||
* Build the binaries using FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 for better hardening
|
||||
* Add Romainian translation.
|
||||
* Update Malay translation.

E2fsprogs 1.47.1 (April 26, 2024)
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
Updates/Fixes since v1.47.0:
|
||||
|
||||
UI and Features
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Add post-2038 handling when e2fsprogs is compiled on a system with a
|
||||
64-bit time_t.
|
||||
|
||||
Mke2fs -d can now support an input tar file if the libarchive library is
|
||||
available.
|
||||
|
||||
Add a udev rule which inhibits ext4 file systems from being automounted
|
||||
by udisks. This avoid security issues from exposing potentially
|
||||
maliciously fuzzed file systems from being mounted without being
|
||||
inspected using fsck first. Distributions can of course override this
|
||||
feature inhibition, but then they get to own the security vulnerability
|
||||
liability. Upstream ext4 file system developers are putting
|
||||
distributions on notice that blindly automounting file systems from
|
||||
(potentially) USB thumb drives which clueless users may have picked up
|
||||
in a parking lot is a ***bad*** idea, no matter what clueless enterprise
|
||||
Linux product managers might think.
|
||||
|
||||
The debugfs 'hash' command will use the hash seed and algorithm from the
|
||||
superblock if debugfs has a file system open, instead of requiring the
|
||||
user to specify those parameters explicitly as options to the hash
|
||||
command. Also add a hash -v option which prints the hash parameters so
|
||||
the user knows what parameters were used when calculating the hash for
|
||||
the filename.
|
||||
|
||||
Teach mke2fs a new extended options, root_perms, which overrides the
|
||||
permissions for the root directory for the new file system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
When various e2fsprogs are replaying the journal (tune2fs, fuse2fs,
|
||||
e2fsck, etc.) save any error indicator in the superblock, so it can be
|
||||
restored afterwards. Most of the time (at least with modern kernels) if
|
||||
file system corruptions are discovered, the superblock update is
|
||||
journalled. However, if the journal is aborted or the journal commit
|
||||
fails, the error code might only be written in the superblock, so we
|
||||
need to save it so that a subsequent fsck can repair the file system
|
||||
after the journal replay.
|
||||
|
||||
When mke2fs was creating a file system with the orphan file inode, it
|
||||
tries to read and truncate the orphan inode before it has been
|
||||
initialized. If there is an inode from a previous file system located
|
||||
there (as opposed to a all zeroes inode table block caused by a discard
|
||||
of the flash device or a newly created cloud block device or fille
|
||||
image), it can fail with bad checksum error, aborting the mke2fs
|
||||
operation. Fix this in ext2fs_create_orphan_file() not trying to
|
||||
truncate the orphan file if it is newly allocated (which will always be
|
||||
the case when mke2fs calls this library function).
|
||||
|
||||
In the case where e2fsck comes across an orphan file which is empty but
|
||||
the orphan_present feature is set, in preen mode, e2fsck will now clear
|
||||
the orphan_present feature flag silently.
|
||||
|
||||
When resize2fs is performing an online resize, it's possible for reading
|
||||
the superblock can race with a kernel modifying the superblock with the
|
||||
checksum being invalid and causing the resize to fail with an bad
|
||||
superblock checksum in the buffer cache. Have resize2fs open the file
|
||||
system using O_DIRECT to avoid the superblock with an invalid checksum.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a bug where a checksum failure in an htree directory can cause
|
||||
e2fsck's preen mode to abort unnecessarily.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e2fsck's handling of an invalid symlink in an inline_data directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e4crypt from issuing a spurious "success" error message when trying
|
||||
to set a policy on a non-directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a potential infinite loop in debugfs's logdump command in some edge
|
||||
cases.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e2fsck to correctly update quota usage after optimizing directories
|
||||
or deleting corrupted inodes.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix fuse2fs so that directories are created with the correct permissions
|
||||
instead of having the other and group write permissions masked off.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a potential e2fsck divide by zero crash caused by a maliciously
|
||||
fuzzed file system.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix dumpe2fs to report free block ranges correctly for bigalloc file
|
||||
file systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix resize2fs where resizing a bigalloc file system can result in the
|
||||
free cluster count in the last block group and the total free clusters
|
||||
count to be incorrect.
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid spurious e2scrub failures caused by trying to scrub file syustems
|
||||
that do not have the journal enabled, and by aborting scrub runs while
|
||||
upgrading the e2fsprogs package on Debian/Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Teach tune2fs to detect a file system which is mounted but is not
|
||||
mentioned in the mount namespace where tune2fs is run by treating a
|
||||
block device which is busy as if it is mounted.
|
||||
|
||||
If tune2fs can't find the mountpoint for a file system which is
|
||||
apparently mounted (perhaps because it's not present in the current
|
||||
mount namespace) when attempting to set the label or UUID in the
|
||||
superblock, fall back to the old method of modifying block device and
|
||||
silence printing any error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
If both the primary superblock and first block group's backup superblock
|
||||
are corrupted, e2fsck will now try additional backup superblocks if they
|
||||
are available.
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid mke2fs from creating an invalid file system with an insufficient
|
||||
number of inodes when creating a file system which is very small (100k),
|
||||
a block size of 1k, and an inode size of 256 bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a potential deadlock caused by e2fsck being run in Direct I/O mode
|
||||
with the threading optimization enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed/improved various Debian packaging issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Update and clarify various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #1038286)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable per the
|
||||
specification https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch
|
||||
|
||||
Improve resize2fs's performance by eliminating extra cache flushes.
|
||||
|
||||
Improve mke2fs's performance when zeroing a large number of inode table
|
||||
blocks (when lazy inode table initialization is not enabled) by batching
|
||||
calls to ext2fs_zero_blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a safe_getenv function for all calls to fetch the environment
|
||||
variable in libext2fs.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a massive buffer overrun bug in ext2fs_image_super_read(). This
|
||||
function isn't actually used by e2image, and it's unlikely that there
|
||||
are any users of this function since the most common way the e2image
|
||||
file is read is via ext2fs_openfs() with the EXT2_FLAG_IMAGE_FILE, which
|
||||
doesn't actually use ext2fs_image_super_read().
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for building fuse2fs using Fuse V3.
|
||||
|
||||
Use FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 when hardening is enabled for more protection.
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for continuous integration tests using Github Actions.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix Windows-specific portability bugs to allow mke2fs to create a file
|
||||
system in a file which doesn't yet exist and to support file systems
|
||||
larger than 2GB.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a FreeBSD 14 build failure caused by changing the function signature
|
||||
of qsort_r() to be aligned with the POSIX and glibc definition of
|
||||
qsort_r().
|
||||
|
||||
Fix various portability issues for the Linux 32-bit musl C library,
|
||||
GNU/Hurd and Android. (Addresses Debian Bug: #1056145)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix various portability problems in the regression test suite.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix various sanitizer, static code analysis, and compiler warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
Add Romainian translation.
|
||||
|
||||
Update Malay translation.
