Hi all, This is the second revision of a patchset that adds to XFS userland tools support for online metadata scrubbing and repair. The new patches in this series do three things: first, they expand the filesystem populate commands inside xfstests to be able to create all types of XFS metadata. Second, they create a bunch of xfs_db wrapper functions to iterate all fields present in a given metadata object and fuzz them in various ways. Finally, for each metadata object type there is a separate test that iteratively fuzzes all fields of that object and runs it through the mount/scrub/repair loop to see what happens. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my github trees for kernel[1], xfsprogs[2], and xfstests[3]. The kernel patches in the git trees should apply to 4.9-rc3; xfsprogs patches to for-next; and xfstest to master. The patches have survived all auto group xfstests both with scrub-only mode and also a special debugging mode to xfs_scrub that forces it to rebuild the metadata structures even if they're not damaged. Note that I haven't thoroughly run the new tests in [3] that try to fuzz every field in every data structure on disk. This is an extraordinary way to eat your data. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D [1] https://github.com/djwong/linux/tree/djwong-devel [2] https://github.com/djwong/xfsprogs/tree/djwong-devel [3] https://github.com/djwong/xfstests/tree/djwong-devel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
