Hi Chandan, Please pull this branch with changes for xfs for 6.8-rc1. As usual, I did a test-merge with the main upstream branch as of a few minutes ago, and didn't see any conflicts. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. --D The following changes since commit 0573676fdde7ce3829ee6a42a8e5a56355234712: xfs: initialise di_crc in xfs_log_dinode (2023-12-15 09:33:29 +0530) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git tags/repair-prep-for-bulk-loading-6.8_2023-12-15 for you to fetch changes up to e069d549705e49841247acf9b3176744e27d5425: xfs: constrain dirty buffers while formatting a staged btree (2023-12-15 10:03:29 -0800) ---------------------------------------------------------------- xfs: prepare repair for bulk loading [v28.3] Before we start merging the online repair functions, let's improve the bulk loading code a bit. First, we need to fix a misinteraction between the AIL and the btree bulkloader wherein the delwri at the end of the bulk load fails to queue a buffer for writeback if it happens to be on the AIL list. Second, we introduce a defer ops barrier object so that the process of reaping blocks after a repair cannot queue more than two extents per EFI log item. This increases our exposure to leaking blocks if the system goes down during a reap, but also should prevent transaction overflows, which result in the system going down. Third, we change the bulkloader itself to copy multiple records into a block if possible, and add some debugging knobs so that developers can control the slack factors, just like they can do for xfs_repair. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Darrick J.
