Hi all, This set is a subset of a larger series for 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 a delayed operation. 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 delayed attribute portion. We will introduce parent pointers in a later set. At the moment, I would like people to focus their review efforts on just this "delayed attribute" sub series, 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 2 phases: Delay Ready Attributes: (patches 1-15) Some of these are the remaining patches belonging to the "Delay Ready" series that we've been working with. In these patches, transaction handling is removed from the attr routines, and replaced with a state machine that allows a high level function to roll the transaction and repeatedly recall the attr routines until they are finished. Patches 4-12 correspond to a refactoring RFC effort that Brian and I had worked on earlier. The lower level versions of the RFC patch deviates slightly to correct some minor logic bugs not seen in the RFC. I further continued the refactoring to hoist the last state up into the xfs_attr_set_iter routine. The final product does create a bit of a monster function, but the state management code is much more linear than in previous versions. It should be noted that while some of these new patches look a little odd, their purpose is neither to optimize aesthetics, or even the hoist. The goal is to prepare an arrangement of the code such that the code changes in patch 12 are minimal and limited to state machine mechanics. As in previous revisions, the final product of this sub series is that the attr routines are now compatible as a .finish_item call back. xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_node_remove_step xfs: Add xfs_attr_node_remove_cleanup xfs: Hoist transaction handling in xfs_attr_node_remove_step xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_set_shortform xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_set_fmt xfs: Separate xfs_attr_node_addname and xfs_attr_node_addname_work xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_node_addname_find_attr xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_node_addname xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Hoist node transaction handling xfs: Add delay ready attr remove routines xfs: Add delay ready attr set routines xfs: Add state machine tracepoints xfs: Rename __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove xfs: Handle krealloc errors in xlog_recover_add_to_cont_trans Delayed Attributes: (patches 15 - 22) These patches go on to fully implement delayed attributes. New attr intent and done items are introduced for use in the existing logging infrastructure. A mount option is added to toggle the feature on and off, and an error tag is added to test the log replay xfs: Set up infastructure for deferred attribute operations xfs: Skip flip flags for delayed attrs xfs: Add xfs_attr_set_deferred and xfs_attr_remove_deferred xfs: Remove unused xfs_attr_*_args xfs: Add delayed attributes error tag xfs: Add delattr mount option xfs: Merge xfs_delattr_context into xfs_attr_item Updates since v14: Mostly re-layering the changes discussed in the rfc along with other minor nits from the last revision xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_node_remove_step Typo nits in commit message xfs: Hoist transaction handling in xfs_attr_node_remove_step Fixed typo in commit message removed unused dp variable from xfs_attr_node_remove_step Changed "return error" to "goto out" in xfs_attr_node_removename xfs: Add delay ready attr remove routines Added extra xfs_freestate in xfs_attr_node_removename_setup rebase adjustments xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_set_shortform NEW xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_set_fmt NEW xfs: Separate xfs_attr_node_addname and xfs_attr_node_addname_work NEW xfs: Add helper xfs_attr_node_addname_find_attr NEW xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_node_addname NEW xfs: Hoist xfs_attr_leaf_addname NEW xfs: Hoist node transaction handling NEW xfs: Add delay ready attr set routines Fixed typos in comments and commit message Rebased onto refactoring additions All state management appears in xfs_attr_set_iter State machine gotos replaced with switch Flow chart updated xfs: Add state machine tracepoints Rebase adjustments Added inode to trace data Added separate traces types for each function xfs: Rename __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove Rebase adjustments xfs: Handle krealloc errors in xlog_recover_add_to_cont_trans Expanded commit message about alloc warnings xfs: Skip flip flags for delayed attrs Rebase adjustments xfs: Remove unused xfs_attr_*_args Rebase adjustments xfs: Merge xfs_delattr_context into xfs_attr_item Rebase adjustments xfsprogs: Introduce error injection to allocate only minlen size extents for files Ported as a rebase dependancy Amended io/inject.c with error tag name to avoid compiler errors xfsprogs: Introduce error injection to reduce maximum inode fork extent count Ported as a rebase dependancy Amended io/inject.c with error tag name to avoid compiler errors This series can be viewed on github here: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_v15 As well as the extended delayed attribute and parent pointer series: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_v15_extended And the test cases: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/pptr_xfstestsv2 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_v15 https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delay_ready_attrs_xfsprogs_v15_extended To run the xfs attributes tests run: check -g attr To run as delayed attributes run: export MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o 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!
