Hi all, This set is a subset of a larger series for delayed attributes. Which is a subset of an even larger series, parent pointers. Delayed attributes allow attribute operations (set and remove) to be logged and committed in the same way that other delayed operations do. This allows more complex operations (like parent pointers) to be broken up into multiple smaller transactions. To do this, the existing attr operations must be modified to operate as either a delayed operation or a inline operation since older filesystems will not be able to use the new log entries. This means that they cannot roll, commit, or finish transactions. Instead, they return -EAGAIN to allow the calling function to handle the transaction. In this series, we focus on only the clean up and refactoring needed to accomplish this. We will introduce delayed attrs and parent pointers in a later set. At the moment, I would like people to focus their review efforts on just this "delay ready" subseries, as I think that is a more conservative use of peoples review time. I also think the set is a bit much to manage all at once, and we need to get the infrastructure ironed out before we focus too much anything that depends on it. But I do have the extended series for folks that want to see the bigger picture of where this is going. To help organize the set, I've arranged the patches to make sort of mini sets. I thought it would help reviewers break down the reviewing some. For reviewing purposes, the set could be broken up into 4 different phases: Error code filtering (patches 1-2): These two patches are all about finding and catching error codes that need to be sent back up to user space before starting delayed operations. Errors that happen during a delayed operation are treated like internal errors that cause a shutdown. But we wouldnt want that for example: when the user tries to rename a non existent attr. So the idea is that we need to find all such conditions, and take care of them before starting a delayed operation. xfs: Add xfs_has_attr and subroutines xfs: Check for -ENOATTR or -EEXIST Move transactions upwards (patches 3-12): The goal of this subset is to try and move all the transaction specific code up the call stack much as possible. The idea being that once we get them to the top, we can introduce the statemachine to handle the -EAGAIN logic where ever the transactions used to be. xfs: Factor out new helper functions xfs_attr_rmtval_set xfs: Pull up trans handling in xfs_attr3_leaf_flipflags xfs: Split apart xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Refactor xfs_attr_try_sf_addname xfs: Pull up trans roll from xfs_attr3_leaf_setflag xfs: Factor out xfs_attr_rmtval_invalidate xfs: Pull up trans roll in xfs_attr3_leaf_clearflag xfs: Refactor xfs_attr_rmtval_remove xfs: Pull up xfs_attr_rmtval_invalidate xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_shrink Modularizing and cleanups (patches 13-22): Now that we have pulled the transactions up to where we need them, it's time to start breaking down the top level functions into new subfunctions. The goal being to work towards a top level function that deals mostly with the statemachine, and helpers for those states xfs: Remove unneeded xfs_trans_roll_inode calls xfs: Remove xfs_trans_roll in xfs_attr_node_removename xfs: Add helpers xfs_attr_is_shortform and xfs_attr_set_shortform xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_leaf_mark_incomplete xfs: Add remote block helper functions xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_removename_setup xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_removename_rmt xfs: Simplify xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Simplify xfs_attr_node_addname xfs: Lift -ENOSPC handler from xfs_attr_leaf_addname Introduce statemachine (patches 23-25): Now that we have re-arranged the code such that we can remove the transaction handling, we proceed to do so. The behavior of the attr set/remove routines are now also compatible as a .finish_item callback xfs: Add delay ready attr remove routines xfs: Add delay ready attr set routines xfs: Rename __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove Changes since v10: Theres a lot of activity that goes around with each set, so to help people recall the discussion I've outlined the changes for each patch, which are new, and which are unchanged: xfs: Add xfs_has_attr and subroutines xfs: Check for -ENOATTR or -EEXIST xfs: Factor out new helper functions xfs_attr_rmtval_set xfs: Pull up trans handling in xfs_attr3_leaf_flipflags xfs: Split apart xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Refactor xfs_attr_try_sf_addname xfs: Pull up trans roll from xfs_attr3_leaf_setflag xfs: Factor out xfs_attr_rmtval_invalidate xfs: Pull up trans roll in xfs_attr3_leaf_clearflag xfs: Refactor xfs_attr_rmtval_remove xfs: Pull up xfs_attr_rmtval_invalidate xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_shrink No change xfs: Remove unneeded xfs_trans_roll_inode calls Fixed typo in commit message xfs: Remove xfs_trans_roll in xfs_attr_node_removename Expanded commit message xfs: Add helpers xfs_attr_is_shortform and xfs_attr_set_shortform xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_leaf_mark_incomplete xfs: Add remote block helper functions xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_removename_setup xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_node_removename_rmt xfs: Simplify xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Simplify xfs_attr_node_addname xfs: Lift -ENOSPC handler from xfs_attr_leaf_addname No change xfs: Add delay ready attr remove routines Renamed xfs_attr_roll_again to xfs_attr_trans_roll Some extra commentary added to xfs_attr_trans_roll Pulled error handling from xfs_attr_trans_roll into caller xfs: Add delay ready attr set routines Renamed xfs_attr_roll_again to xfs_attr_trans_roll Pulled error handling from xfs_attr_trans_roll into caller Rebase adjustments xfs: Rename __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove No change This series can be viewed on github here: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_v11 As well as the extended delayed attribute and parent pointer series: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_v11_extended And the test cases: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/pptr_xfstests In order to run the test cases, you will need have the corresponding xfsprogs changes as well. Which can be found here: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_xfsprogs_v11 https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_xfsprogs_v11_extended To run the xfs attributes tests run: check -g attr To run as delayed attributes run: export MKFS_OPTIONS="-n delattr" check -g attr To run parent pointer tests: check -g parent I've also made the corresponding updates to the user space side as well, and ported anything they need to seat correctly. Questions, comment and feedback appreciated! Thanks all!
