[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Create a separate manual page for the INUMBERS ioctl so we can document
how it works.

+.SH NAME
+ioctl_xfs_fsinumbers \- extract a list of valid inode numbers from an XFS filesystem
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.br
+.B #include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int ioctl(int " fd ", XFS_IOC_FSINUMBERS, struct xfs_fsop_bulkreq *" arg );
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Query a list of valid inode numbers from an XFS filesystem.
+It is intended to be called iteratively to obtain the entire set of inodes.
+These ioctls use
+.B struct xfs_fsop_bulkreq
+to set up a bulk transfer with the kernel:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+struct xfs_fsop_bulkreq {
+	__u64   *lastip;
+	__s32   count;
+	void    *ubuffer;
+	__s32   *ocount;
+};
+.fi
+.in
+.PP
+.I lastip
+points to a value that will receive the number of the "last inode".
+Prior to the call, this value should be set to one less than the number of the
+first inode for which the caller wants information.
+After the call, this value will be set to the number of the last inode for
+which information is supplied.
+This field will not be updated if
+.I ocount
+is NULL.
+.PP
+.I count
+is the number of inodes to examine.
+.PP
+.I ocount
+points to a value that will receive the number of records returned.
+An output value of zero means that there are no more inodes left to enumerate.
+If this value is NULL, then neither
+.I ocount
+nor
+.I lastip
+will be updated.
+.PP
+.I ubuffer
+points to a memory buffer where information will be copied.
+This buffer must be an array of
+.B struct xfs_inogrp
+which is described below.
+The array must have at least
+.I count
+elements.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+struct xfs_inogrp {
+	__u64   xi_startino;
+	__s32   xi_alloccount;
+	__u64   xi_allocmask;
+}
+.fi
+.in
+.PP
+.I xi_startino
+is the number of this inode numbers record.
+Each inode numbers record will correspond roughly to a record in the inode
+btree, though this is not guaranteed.
+.PP
+.I xi_alloccount
+is the number of bits that are set in
+.IR xi_allocmask .
+.PP
+.I xi_allocmask
+is the mask of inodes that are in use for this inode.
+The bitmask is 64 bits long, and the least significant bit corresponds to inode
+.BR xi_startino .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+The kernel was not able to copy into the userspace buffer.
+.TP
+.B EFSBADCRC
+Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EFSCORRUPTED
+Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+One of the arguments was not valid.
+.TP
+.B EIO
+An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+There was insufficient memory to perform the query.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This API is specific to XFS filesystem on the Linux kernel.
+.SH SEE ALSO

 .B XFS_IOC_FSINUMBERS
-This interface is used to extract a list of valid inode numbers from an
-XFS filesystem.
-It is intended to be called iteratively, to obtain the entire set of inodes.
-The information is passed in and out via a structure of type
-.B xfs_fsop_bulkreq_t
-pointed to by the final argument.
-.B lastip
-is a pointer to a variable containing the last inode number returned,
-initially it should be zero.
-.B icount
-is the size of the array of structures specified by
-.BR ubuffer .
-.B ubuffer
-is the address of an array of structures, of type
-.BR xfs_inogrp_t .
-This structure has the following elements:
-.B xi_startino
-(starting inode number),
-.B xi_alloccount
-(count of bits set in xi_allocmask), and
-.B xi_allocmask
-(mask of allocated inodes in this group).
-The bitmask is 64 bits long, and the least significant bit corresponds to inode
-.B xi_startino.
-Each bit is set if the corresponding inode is in use.
-.B ocount
-is a pointer to a count of returned values, filled in by the call.
-An output
-.B ocount
-value of zero means that the inode table has been exhausted.
+See
+.BR ioctl_xfs_fsinumbers (2)
