I think so. The code that deals with reading in a btree node disk and interpreting the contents is mainly in bch_btree_node_read_done(), btree_io.c - it looks like you found that? > I found the root inode manually. But how is it actually found by code? The root inode is the inode with inode number BCACHE_ROOT_INO (4096) - http://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git/tree/drivers/md/bcache/fs.c?h=bcache-dev&id=5cf7fb11d124839eea2191fd7e8eddecb296d67d#n2285 So to do it correctly, you'll need the bkey packing code in order to unpack the key (if it was packed) so that you can get the actual inode number of the key. You'll also need to do something like the mergesort algorithm (or something equivalent; you don't need to do the actual mergesort if you're just doing a linear search for one key). That is - if there's multiple bsets, they will likely contain duplicates and keys in newer bsets overwrite keys in older bsets. > Could you help to explain what it is from 0xec070 to 0xed007? > Are they also bsets? Without knowing your block size and spending a fair amount of time staring at the hexdump, I don't know what starts there - but quite possibly yes; bsets that aren't at the start of the btree node are embeddedd in a struct btree_node_entry, not a struct btree_node. To tell if it's a valid bset, you compare bset->seq against the seq in the first bset - it's a random number generated for each new btree node; if they match then the bset there goes with that btree node. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
