[PATCH v3 0/5] ovl: constant inode numbers (cont.)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Miklos,

This series covers many of the constant inode number leftovers from v4.12.

Current status is:
- For non-hardlinks, st_ino is constant and consistent with d_ino
- For samefs and for non-dir, st_ino/d_ino is also persistent
- For samefs, st_dev;st_ino is also system-wide unique

The remaining leftovers:
- Constant st_ino/d_ino for hardlinks (WIP by me)
- System-wide unique st_dev;st_ino for non-samefs (WIP by Chandan?)

Tested constant and consistent d_ino with improved xfstest overlay/017,
already upstream, which currently fails only on the hardlink copy up test.

v3:
- Relax same fs contrains from v4.12
- Non "impure" dir optimizations

v2:
- Lookup overlay entry with lookup_one_len_noperm()

v1:
- Resurect Miklos's constant d_ino POC
- Lookup overlay entry with lookup_one_len()

Amir Goldstein (5):
  ovl: relax same fs constrain for ovl_check_origin()
  ovl: relax same fs constrain for constant st_ino
  vfs: factor out lookup_one_len_init()
  vfs: add helper lookup_one_len_noperm()
  ovl: consistent st_ino/d_ino
