I do still owe a promised xfstest - but for that, we'll need at least mkfs & xfs_repair support. Did you patch up mkfs to do basic tests of your kernelspace patch? Talking to Dave, he reminds me of a few things this needs, if it's going to be complete & compatible on V4: * mkfs.xfs commandline option support & manpage updates * xfs_db support (including version friendly-text output) * XFS_IOC_FSGEOM support so that xfs_info can report the difference * xfs_repair needs to know that it's a valid feature on V4 Some of that may overlap w/ things still needed on V5, but some is unique to allowing it on V4. Mark, do you plan to do some of those unique-to-V4 parts, too? As an aside: I would support getting this feature onto V4 superblocks, after we have confidence that all the bits are done, tested, and robust. I still would really like to see it go forward in parallel on V5, and not be blocked by the extra work needed for proper V4 integration.
