[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/7] ext4: Update ext2/3/4 superblock, group descriptor and inode structures

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/7] ext4: Update ext2/3/4 superblock, group descriptor and inode structures

[Stefan Brüns]

Most importantly, the superblock provides the used group descriptor size,
which is required for the EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/7] ext4: determine group descriptor size for 64bit feature

[Stefan Brüns]

If EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT is set, the descriptor can be read from
the superblocks, otherwise it defaults to 32.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/7] ext4: Add helper functions for block group descriptor field access

[Stefan Brüns]

The helper functions encapsulate access of the block group descriptors,
independent of group descriptor size. The helpers also deal with the
endianess of the fields, and with split fields like free_blocks/
free_blocks_high.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 4/7] ext4: Use correct descriptor size when reading the block group descriptor

The correct descriptor size must be used when calculating offsets, and
also to read the correct amount of data.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/7] ext4: Use helper function to access group descriptor and its fields

[Stefan Brüns]

The descriptor size is variable, thus array indices are not generically
applicable. The larger group descriptors also contain e.g. high parts
of block numbers, which have to be read and written.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/7] ext4: determine group descriptor size for 64bit feature

[Kever Yang]

Hi Stefan, Tom,

     I'm using genext2fs command in Linux to generate my boot image for
kernel and its dtb, my command is like this:
     $ genext2fs -b 32768 -B $((32*1024*1024/32768)) -d boot/ -i 8192 -U 
boot.img

     In the latest version of U-Boot, the image from above command is 
not able
to be mount. After debug, I found out that the root cause is that the 
genext2fs
does not have a initial value for revision_level in super block. After I 
do the mount
and umount for the image in Linux, the U-Boot then can mount the image.

     Is it possible to still support the ext2 image generated by 
genext2fs command in U-Boot?

Thanks,
- Kever

Hi Kever,

can you test the ext4 patch I just posted?

Kind regards,
