But yeah, unless something is blatantly wrong or I missed something that
causes a significant impedence mismatch with your state management
design (both of which are quite possible :), this is intended to be a
map of sorts for a proposed refactoring of xattr set and state breakdown
to factor out of that. To try and generalize it even further, I think
the big question is can we break everything down such that the end
result (before getting into dfops and pptrs and whatnot) looks something
like:
xfs_attr_set_args()
{
do {
xfs_attr_set_iter();
<roll on -EAGAIN>
} while (...);
...
}
xfs_attr_set_iter()
{
switch (ctx->da_state) {
case INIT:
...
break;
case ADDNAME:
...
break;
case RMTBLKSTUFF:
if (!rmtblk) {
->da_state = FLAGSTUFF;
break;
}
<do_rmt_stuff>
break;
case MORERMTBLKSTUFF:
...
break;
case FLAGSTUFF:
...
break;
...
};
...
}
... where there is essentially no other state aware code outside of
xfs_attr_set_iter(). I had these two squashed into a single function
just to be able use local variables across states because I didn't have
the context bits you've defined for that purpose. It doesn't necessarily
have to be a switch statement or whatever either, though I admit I do
kind of like the "bump to next state by default" pattern, particularly
if it reduces boilerplate state changes. The bigger picture is that all
of the functional components below this level either complete or repeat
(and are reentrant, if so), the higher level code just handles rolling
the transaction and pretty much all of the state flow is isolated to a
single function.
Also, I can fire over a tarball of the patches in my local branch if you
wanted to see the individual breakdown (i.e. showing how to potentially
implement this a state at a time without having to reshuffle the whole
thing in a single patch). It's pretty much what I described in the
initial post, but sometimes it's just easier to see the code...
