Hi all, This set is a subset of a 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 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. The set as a whole is a bit much to digest at once, so I usually send out the smaller sub series to reduce reviewer burn out. But the entire extended series is visible through the included github links. Updates since v25: xfs: don't commit the first deferred transaction without intents NEW xfs: Set up infrastructure for log atrribute replay Removed unused DAC flag XFS_DAC_DELAYED_OP_INIT Removed uneeded header includes Fixed ATTR_NVEC_SIZE Modified xfs_attri_item_size and xfs_attri_item_format to avoid crash with CIL scalability patchset Fixed malloc flags in xfs_attri_init Changed xfs_attri_validate to take an xfs_attri_log_format Use xfs_attri_validate in xlog_recover_attri_commit_pass2 Removed uneeded attri flag Move *item_ops to end of file xfs: Implement attr logging and replay Rearrange atti/attrd functions Added xfs_sb_is_v5 helper to xfs_sb_version_haslogxattrs Added xfs_ prefix to sb_version_haslogxattrs xfs: Skip flip flags for delayed attrs Fixed fallthrough warnings xfs: Add larp debug option Added if def wrappers And the test cases: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/pptr_xfstestsv5 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/delayed_attrs_xfsprogs_v25 https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_xfsprogs_v25_extended To run the xfs attributes tests run: check -g attr To run as delayed attributes run: echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp; 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!
