Hi all, This is the seventeenth revision of a patchset that adds to XFS kernel support for online metadata scrubbing and repair. There aren't any on-disk format changes. New for v17.1 are a few fixes suggested by Brian Foster in v17 and a rebase of the series atop for-next, which adapts the repair code to the new way of hadling deferred log operations. New for v17 of the patch series are fixes for numerous review comments that came from Dave and Allison. The long prefixes of the previous versions have been drastically shortened. Comments about the strategies used to repair broken parts of the filesystem have been expanded where reviewers thought it confusing. A few data structures have been renamed to reflect more accurately what they do. Note, this series does not include any of the controversial repair functionality that requires fs freezing; that has been deferred to a later posting. The first patch renames the 'extent list' functionality into a separate file and rename it xfs_bitmap, since that's what the data structure actually represents. Patches 2-12 implement reconstruction of the AGF/AGI/AGFL headers, the free space btrees, the inode btrees, the inodes, the inode forks, the inode block maps, symbolic links, and extended attributes. Patch 13 augments scrub to rebuild extended attributes when any of the attr blocks are fragmented. Patch 14 implements reconstruction of quota blocks. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees. The kernel patches[1] should apply against 4.18-rc7. xfsprogs[2] and xfstests[3] can be found in their usual places. The git trees contain all four series' worth of changes. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=djwong-devel [2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=djwong-devel [3] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfstests-dev.git/log/?h=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
