[Ocfs2-tools-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Fix extent record corruptions with respect to offsets

[Goldwyn Rodrigues]

The patchset fixes corruptions due to offset corruptions of extent
records of extent lists. The problem could be either of the two -

1. Holes: Some data structures such as directories do not have holes and
can lead to errors as described in bug#1324
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1324
This also creates indexes for directories which were disabled by the
kernel in the patch posted on Aug 3 - Avoid EROFS in case of dx dir
errors v2
http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2011-August/008312.html

2. Extent overlap: The extent records do no go in serial order with
respect to the offset. IOW, the cpos is smaller than previous cpos +
number of clusters.


Changes:
 - Incorporated Tiger's review comment on indexed dirs, hole placements
    and coding styles
