Anyways, how about using > XFS_BMAPI_ENTIRE in case when IOMAP_REPORT is passed i.e the first > iteration of this patch. Hey Christoph, what are the rules about ->iomap_begin passing back an extent that extends outside the range that was requested? Mr. Borisov wants XFS fiemap to return the raw extent without trimming (apparently to follow the ext4 fiemap behavior), but enabling XFS_BMAPI_ENTIRE unconditionally causes xfstests regressions, which we cannot have. I /guess/ we could trim if IOMAP_REPORT is set (a la the first patch), but then we have the situation where the xfs iomap_begin can return more of an answer than was asked for, depending on the passed in flags. Soooo... since you're the author of the vfs iomap patchset, I'm kicking this question to you? Does the iomap code require that the returned &iomap cannot extend beyond the requested pos/length? Is it supposed to trim the iomap? Or... what? (I dunno, it's FIEMAP, which only says that the returned extent /may/ start before and /may/ end after.) --D > > > > --D > > > >> > >>> --- > >>> fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c | 2 +- > >>> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > >>> > >>> diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > >>> index f179bdf1644d..8942324a4d3d 100644 > >>> --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > >>> +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > >>> @@ -1008,7 +1008,7 @@ xfs_file_iomap_begin( > >>> end_fsb = XFS_B_TO_FSB(mp, offset + length); > >>> > >>> error = xfs_bmapi_read(ip, offset_fsb, end_fsb - offset_fsb, &imap, > >>> - &nimaps, 0); > >>> + &nimaps, XFS_BMAPI_ENTIRE); > >>> if (error) > >>> goto out_unlock; > >>> > >>> -- > >>> 2.7.4 > >>> > >>> -- > >>> 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 > >> -- > >> 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 > -- > 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 -- 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
