[PATCH v3 05/18] libxfs: add ability to clear log to arbitrary log cycle

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The libxfs_log_clear() helper currently zeroes the log and writes a
single log record such that the kernel code detects the log has been
zeroed and mounts successfully. This is not sufficient for v5
filesystems, which must have the log cleared to an LSN that is
guaranteed to be ahead of any LSN that has been previously stamped into
on-disk metadata.

Update libxfs_log_clear() to support the ability to format the log to an
arbitrary cycle number. First, the log is physically zeroed. A log
record is written to the first block of the log with the desired lsn and
refers to the tail_lsn as the last record of the previous cycle. The
rest of the log is filled with log records of the previous cycle. This
causes the kernel to set the current LSN to start of the desired cycle
number at mount time.
