Hi all, This series cleans up a few bits of the symbolic link code as needed for future projects. Online repair requires the ability to commit fixed fork-based filesystem metadata such as directories, xattrs, and symbolic links atomically, so we need to rearrange the symlink code before we land the atomic extent swapping. Accomplish this by moving the remote symlink target block code and declarations to xfs_symlink_remote.[ch]. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D kernel git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=symlink-cleanups xfsprogs git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=symlink-cleanups --- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c | 1 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_fork.c | 1 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_shared.h | 14 --- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_symlink_remote.c | 155 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_symlink_remote.h | 27 ++++++ fs/xfs/scrub/inode_repair.c | 1 fs/xfs/scrub/symlink.c | 3 - fs/xfs/xfs_symlink.c | 144 +-------------------------------- fs/xfs/xfs_symlink.h | 1 9 files changed, 192 insertions(+), 155 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_symlink_remote.h
