The compression patches were an out-of-kernel patch set that was (a)
only available for ext2, (b) something that was never could be
stablized due to file system corruption, and (c) the most recent
patches were for 3.1, last updated in 2011.
The history of the compression patches has been a bit checkered.
There is a long history here at http://e2compr.sourceforge.net which
lists the perspective of the people working on it from the e2compr
side.
From the ext2/3/4 mainline developers' perspective, initial
compression support was added to e2fsprogs in 2000 (in the Linux 2.2
era), but due to stability concerns the kernel patches were never
merged into the mainline kernel. While there were some sporadic
efforts to try to get the ext2 compression patches working in the 2.4
and 2.6 era, by that time mainline work had moved on to ext4, and the
e2compr approach could only work with 32-bit block numbers and
indirect mapped files.

When we need to modify the "ignore checksum error" behavior flag to
get us past a library call, it's possible that the library call can
result in other flag bits being changed. Therefore, it is not correct
to restore unconditionally the previous flags value, since this will
have unintended side effects on the other fs->flags; nor is it correct
to assume that we can unconditionally set (or clear) the "ignore csum
error" flag bit. Therefore, we must merge the previous value of the
"ignore csum error" flag with the value of flags after the call.
Note that we want to leave checksum verification on as much as
possible because doing so exposes e2fsck bugs where two metadata
blocks are "sharing" the same disk block, and attempting to fix one
before relocating the other causes major filesystem damage. The
damage is much more obvious when a previously checked piece of
metadata suddenly fails in a subsequent pass.
The modifications to the pass 2, 3, and 3A code are justified as
follows: When e2fsck encounters a block of directory entries and
cannot find the placeholder entry at the end that contains the
checksum, it will try to insert the placeholder. If that fails, it
will schedule the directory for a pass 3A reconstruction. Until that
happens, we don't want directory block writing (pass 2), block
iteration (pass 3), or block reading (pass 3A) to fail due to checksum
errors, because failing to find the placeholder is itself a checksum
verification error, which causes e2fsck to abort without fixing
anything.
The e2fsck call to ext2fs_read_bitmaps must never fail due to a
checksum error because e2fsck subsequently (a) verifies the bitmaps
itself; or (b) decides that they don't match what has been observed,
and rewrites them.

If a user crafts a carefully constructed filesystem containing a
single directory entry block with an invalid checksum and fewer than
two entries, and then runs e2fsck to fix the filesystem, fsck will
crash when it tries to "compress" the short dir and passes a negative
dirent array length to qsort. Therefore, don't allow directory
"compression" in this situation.

During the later passes of efsck, we sometimes need to allocate and
map blocks into a file. This can happen either by fsck directly
calling new_block() or indirectly by the library calling new_block
because it needs to allocate a block for lower level metadata (bmap2()
with BMAP_SET; block_iterate3() with BLOCK_CHANGED).
We need to force new_block to allocate blocks from the found block
map, because the FS block map could be inaccurate for various reasons:
the map is wrong, there are missing blocks, the checksum failed, etc.
Therefore, any time fsck does something that could to allocate blocks,
we need to intercept allocation requests so that they're sourced from
the found block map. Remove the previous code that swapped bitmap
pointers as this is now unneeded.

If a directory's contents are stored entirely inside the inode,
there's no index to rebuild and no dirblock checksum to recompute.
As far as I know these are the only two reasons to call dir rehash.
Therefore, we can move on to the next dir instead of what we do right
now, which is try to iterate the dir blocks (which of course fails due
to the inline_data iflag being set) and then flood stdout with useless
messages that aren't even failures.

When the rehash process is running on a bigalloc filesystem, it
compresses all the directory entries and hash structures into the
beginning of the directory file and then uses block_iterate3() to free
the blocks off the end of the file. It seems to call
ext2fs_block_alloc_stats2() for every block in a cluster, which is
unfortunate because this function allocates and frees entire clusters
(and updates the summary counts accordingly). In this case e2fsck
writes out incorrect summary counts.

Accessing name_len (and file_type) in ext4_dir_entry structure is
somewhat problematic because on big endian architecture we need to now
whether we are really dealing with ext4_dir_entry (which has u16
name_len which needs byte swapping) or ext4_dir_entry_2 (which has u8
name_len which must not be byte swapped).
Currently the code is somewhat surprising and name_len is always
treated as u16 and byte swapped (flag EXT2_DIRBLOCK_V2_STRUCT isn't
ever used) and then masking of name_len is used to access real
name_len or file_type. Doing things this way in applications using
libext2fs is unexpected to say the least (more natural is to type
struct ext4_dir_entry * to struct ext4_dir_entry_2 * but that gives
wrong results on big endian architectures. So provide helper functions
that give endian-safe access to these fields. Also convert users in
e2fsprogs to use these functions.

Commit 07307114de didn't correctly handle the lost+found directory
when it added support for metadata checksums. First of all,
e2fsck_get_lost_and_found() assumed that the inode_dir_map bitmap was
initialized, and it wasn't when it was called earlier by a change in
that commit. Secondly, it's important that lost+found dirctory is
processed in case its directory checksums are incorrect, but should
preserve any empty dirctory blocks so there space available for e2fsck
to reconnect any orphan inodes.
Fix these problems, to fix test failures: f_holedir2 and f_rehash_dir

The DEFS line in MCONFIG had gotten so long that it exceeded 4k, and
this was starting to cause some tools heartburn. It also made "make

run by make was lost in the noise of all of the defines.
So fix this by putting the configure-generated defines in lib/config.h

In addition, clean up some vestigal defines in configure.in and in the
Makefiles to further shorten the cc command lines.

E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where
e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or
more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen
with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a

Previously e2fsprogs interpreted 0 for a rec_len of 65536 (which could
occur if the directory block is completely empty in 64k blocksize
filesystems), while the kernel interpreted 65535 to mean 65536. The
kernel will accept both to mean 65536, and encodes 65535 to be 65536.
This commit changes e2fsprogs to match.
We add the encoding agreed upon for 128k and 256k filesystems, but we
don't enable support for these larger block sizes, since they haven't

The e2fsprogs and kernel implementation of directory hash tree has a
bug which causes the implementation to be dependent on whether
characters are signed or unsigned. Platforms such as the PowerPC,
Arm, and S/390 have signed characters by default, which means that
hash directories on those systems are incompatible with hash
directories on other systems, such as the x86.
To fix this we add a new flags field to the superblock, and define two
new bits in that field to indicate whether or not the directory should
be signed or unsigned. If the bits are not set, e2fsck and fixed
kernels will set them to the signed/unsigned value of the currently
running platform, and then respect those bits when calculating the
directory hash. This allows compatibility with current filesystems,
as well as allowing cross-architectural compatibility.
