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: don't commit the first deferred transaction without intents Simplified roll on dirty logic xfs: Set up infrastructure for log attribute replay Fixed year and author in copyright commentary Indentation fix in xfs_attri_item_format Added error report in xlog_recover_attri_commit_pass2 Fixed comments for attr item intents xfs: Implement attr logging and replay Investigated removing NULL check in xfs_attr_create_intent Skipped since attrip can be null in the case of a large name/val buffer. Trailing buffers use kmem_alloc not caches xfs: Add helper function xfs_init_attr_trans NEW xfs: add leaf split error tag xfs: add leaf to node error tag Added from Catherines xfstest set This series can be viewed on github here: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_v27 As well as the extended delayed attribute and parent pointer series: https://github.com/allisonhenderson/xfs_work/tree/delayed_attrs_v27_extended Allison Henderson (15): xfs: Fix double unlock in defer capture code xfs: don't commit the first deferred transaction without intents xfs: Return from xfs_attr_set_iter if there are no more rmtblks to process xfs: Set up infrastructure for log attribute replay xfs: Implement attr logging and replay 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 log attribute error tag xfs: Add larp debug option xfs: Merge xfs_delattr_context into xfs_attr_item xfs: Add helper function xfs_attr_leaf_addname xfs: Add helper function xfs_init_attr_trans xfs: add leaf split error tag xfs: add leaf to node error tag fs/xfs/Makefile | 1 + fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c | 523 +++++++++++---------- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.h | 70 ++- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c | 9 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_remote.c | 37 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_remote.h | 6 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c | 4 + fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_defer.c | 35 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_defer.h | 3 + fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_errortag.h | 8 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h | 9 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_log_format.h | 44 +- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_log_recover.h | 2 + fs/xfs/scrub/common.c | 2 + fs/xfs/xfs_attr_item.c | 795 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/xfs/xfs_attr_item.h | 46 ++ fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c | 1 + fs/xfs/xfs_error.c | 9 + fs/xfs/xfs_globals.c | 1 + fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl32.c | 2 + fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c | 2 + fs/xfs/xfs_log.c | 45 ++ fs/xfs/xfs_log.h | 12 + fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c | 2 + fs/xfs/xfs_ondisk.h | 2 + fs/xfs/xfs_sysctl.h | 1 + fs/xfs/xfs_sysfs.c | 24 + fs/xfs/xfs_trace.h | 1 + 28 files changed, 1417 insertions(+), 279 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/xfs/xfs_attr_item.c create mode 100644 fs/xfs/xfs_attr_item.h -- 2.25.1
