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 v26: xfs: Set up infrastructure for log attribute replay Removed xfs_da_format.h include Investigated adding xfs_attr_namecheck to xfs_attri_validate Skipped since the name/value lengths need validation before copy from user space gets a name to check xfs_attr_namecheck added to calling functions when name is available Added attri/attrd slab caches Fixed size_t variable in xfs_attri_copy_format Indentation in xlog_recover_attri_commit_pass2 Indentation fix xfs_attri_item_size Comment fix in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_item.h Re-ordered members in xfs_attrd_log_item xfs: Implement attr logging and replay Renamed xfs_trans_attr_finish_update to xfs_xattri_finish_update. Updated comments Investigated hoisting xfs_trans_get_attrd into xfs_attr_create_done Skipped since xfs_trans_get_attrd has more than one caller This series can be viewed on github here: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_v26 As well as the extended delayed attribute and parent pointer series: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_v26_extended 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_v26 https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_xfsprogs_v26_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!
