[PATCH 0/2] xfs: a few fixes and cleanups to GETFSMAP

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

 



Hi all,

This quick series cleans up a few warts in the XFS GETFSMAP ioctl
implementation.  The first patch prevents an integer overflow when
counting the mappings.  The second patch improves performance of the
ioctl by formatting reverse mappings to an in-kernel buffer and then
copying the entire buffer to userspace (instead of copying the records
one by one).  That eliminates an indirect call and a lot of overhead
from copying things to userspace, which is a bit expensive.

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my git trees, which are linked below.

This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
