Hi folks, This patchset is a followup to the original feature bit cleanup patch I sent here: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-03/msg00101.html It basically removes all the old cruft that we inherited from Irix (such as tests and conversion to/from v1-3 superblocks) that we've never supported on Linux. On Linux, we've ony ever supported V2 directories, and so anything that doesn't know about V2 directories is simply going to be rejected at mount time. Hence we don't need all the code to handle versions older than this. Nor do we care about Irix bootloader feature bit masks (the SASH feature bits) or about things that were never implemented like shared readonly superblock support. Hence we can remove a fairly large chunk of complexity out of the feature bit testing if we only test for things that we can support. Further, we should really always use to v2 inodes these days on v4 superblock filesystems. We've been setting the NLINK feature bit by default at mkfs time since 2007, so no we make the kernel set it by default at mount time, too. This means that we always convert v1 inodes to v2 inodes, and so reduce the number of different code paths we need to test and support. Thoughts, comments? Cheers, Dave. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
