I'm sending this out for the moment with an "RFC" tag because I don't consider this work done (I want to do some refinements, basically). But I wanted to get the code out there for an initial review to see if there are any major problems with what I'm proposing here. This is fixing the problem in xfs_db metadump feature in which the attempt to create an obfuscated filename can result in an endless loop. I've run it through all possible 6-character names starting with 0x01 through 0x07 (and counting...) and the new algorithm (which is basically contained in patch 3 of the series) produces an alternate path with the same hash as the original for all cases. I also ran all the test cases I identified previously and all compute an alternate path without hanging. -Alex _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
