Hi all, This is the fourth version of parent pointer attributes for xfs. The goal of this patch set is to add a parent pointer attribute to each inode. The attribute name containing the parent inode, generation, and directory offset, while the attribute value contains the file name. This feature will enable future optimizations for online scrub, or any other feature that could make use of quickly deriving an inodes path from the mount point. This set also introduces deferred attribute operations, though it is currently only used by the new parent pointer code. I've integrated the suggestions made since v3, the biggest of which I think was reducing the size of xfs_attr_log_item so that they didn't take up quite so much space, as well as merging the deferred attribute set and create code paths. I've also added a patch that implements a new ioctl interface to return the parent pointer to user space. I know Darrick already had some suggestions for the new ioctl code that I still need to add, but I wanted to keep the rest of the folks out here updated as to where I am with it now. I'm still working on setting up some new xfstests for this patch set. I'll need to get the appropriate changes mapped to xfsprogs first, but I will keep folks updated as I go. As always, comments and feedback are appreciated. Thank you!
