I see Darrick has already commented on the whole state thing. I'll
probably have to grok the next patch to comment further, but just a
couple initial thoughts:
First, I hit a build failure with this patch. It looks like there's a
missed include in the scrub code:
...
CC [M] fs/xfs/scrub/repair.o
In file included from fs/xfs/scrub/repair.c:32:
fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.h:105:21: error: field ‘xattri_args’ has incomplete type
struct xfs_da_args xattri_args; /* args context */
...
Second, the commit log suggests that the states will reflect the current
transaction roll points (i.e., establishing re-entry points down in
xfs_attr_set_args(). I'm kind of wondering if we should break these
xattr set sub-sequences down into smaller helper functions (refactoring
the existing code as we go) such that the mechanism could technically be
used deferred or not. Re: the previous thought on whether to defer xattr
removes or not, there might also be cases where there's not a need to
defer xattr sets.
E.g., taking a quick peek into the next patch, the state 1 case in
xfs_attr_try_sf_addname() is actually a transaction commit, which I
think means we're done. We'd have done an attr memory allocation,
deferred op and transaction roll where none was necessary so it might
not be worth it to defer in that scenario. Hmm, it also looks like we
return -EAGAIN in places where we've not actually done any work, like if
a shortform add attempt returns -ENOSPC (or the -EAGAIN return before we
even attempt the sf add). That kind of looks like a waste of transaction
rolls and further suggests it might be cleaner to break this whole path
down into helpers and put it back together in a way more conducive to
deferred operations.
