The sparse inode chunks feature will use the helper function to enable
the allocation of sparse inode chunks. The incompatible feature bit is
set on disk once a sparse inode chunk is allocated to prevent older
drivers from mounting an fs with sparse chunks.

Note that the feature is hardcoded disabled and the feature bit not
included in the all features mask until fully implemented.

Sorry if I missed it in the series but is there an
XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_SPINODES for xfs_info/growfs?


Nope, looks like I missed it. It probably slipped my mind as I haven't
got into userspace yet and thus hadn't thought about xfs_info. I'll make
a note to add it, thanks!

Again forgive my quick scanning of the series, but am I correct in thinking that this does not change the minimum number of reserved blocks for create like fs ops. The create/rename do some attempts to continue when it cannot get the full number of reserved blocks. Would allocating a sparse inode chunk make sense in that case? My gut says the complication does not.

Thanks again,

--Mark.
