I started designing XFS GETFSMAP with the intent of making it feel familiar to anyone who'd already used the XFS GETBMAP interface. Hence you pass in an array of struct getfsmap[N] where the start of the array are key fields and the rest are filled out by the kernel, and the units are 512-byte blocks. As a result, some things (special owners in particular) are strongly influenced by XFS. Ofc then LSF happened and the btrfs developers expressed a desire to have a similar call, so now it's out for review on fsdevel. Now there's a question of whether or not we can create a generic enough interface to fit the major filesystems so as not to expose a bunch of balkanized fsmap ioctls to userspace. I also haven't heard much from the btrfs list in previous review cycles. (I say that more in reference to the 'special owners' below than any other part of GETFSMAP.) > I recall for FIEMAP that some filesystems may not have files aligned > to sector offsets, and we just used byte offsets.

I'd rather just change the units to bytes rather than force all the users to multiply things. :) > > + > > +.PP > > +The > > +.I fmv_owner > > +field contains the owner of the extent. > > +This is generally an inode number, though if > > +.B FMV_OF_SPECIAL_OWNER > > +is set in the > > +.I fmv_oflags > > +field, then the owner value is one of the following special values: > > +.TP > > +.B FMV_OWN_FREE > > +Free space. > > +.TP > > +.B FMV_OWN_UNKNOWN > > +This extent has an unknown owner. > > +.TP > > +.B FMV_OWN_FS > > +Static filesystem metadata.

The next items > are not very clear what they are, These all are very XFS-specific special owner codes; most of them correspond directly to the special owners in the XFS reverse-mapping structure. OWN_FS = AG superblock OWN_AG = free space and rmap btrees OWN_INODES = inode records OWN_INOBT = inode btree pointing to inode record blocks OWN_REFC = reference count btree OWN_COW = extent being used for a copy-on-write OWN_LOG = internal log For ext4, we could probably reuse the owner codes: OWN_FS = superblock + group descriptors OWN_AG = block/inode bitmaps OWN_INODES = inode table OWN_LOG = journal Granted, we could also just smush everything into OWN_METADATA such that the only special owners would be FREE, METADATA, COW, and DEFECTIVE. I don't like that because now the kernel decides to throw away information that userspace might be able to use, because I prefer more expressive APIs. Though I do see the counter-argument that userspace should not have direct access to metadata and therefore needn't know more than it's metadata. I'd much rather just add more special owner codes for any other filesystem that has distinguishable metadata types that are not covered by the existing OWN_ codes.

I've been thinking about rearranging this a bit, since the flags handling is very awkward with the current array structure. Each rmap has its own flags; we may someday want to pass operation flags into the ioctl; and we currently have one operation flag to pass back to userspace. Each of those flags can be a separate field. I think people will get confused about FMV_OF_* and FMV_HOF_* being referenced in oflags, and iflags has no meaning for returned records. So, this instead? struct getfsmap_rec { u32 device; /* device id */ u32 flags; /* mapping flags */ u64 block; /* physical addr, bytes */ u64 owner; /* inode or special owner code */ u64 offset; /* file offset of mapping, bytes */ u64 length; /* length of segment, bytes */ u64 reserved; /* will be set to zero */ }; /* 48 bytes */ struct getfsmap_head { u32 iflags; /* none defined yet */ u32 oflags; /* FMV_HOF_DEV_T */ u32 count; /* # entries in recs array */ u32 entries; /* # entries filled in (output) */ u64 reserved[2]; /* must be zero */ struct getfsmap_rec keys[2]; /* low and high keys for the mapping search */ struct getfsmap_rec recs[0]; }; /* 32 bytes + 2*48 = 128 bytes */ #define XFS_IOC_GETFSMAP _IOWR('X', 59, struct getfsmap_head) This also means that userspace can set up for the next ioctl invocation with memcpy(&head->keys[0], &head->recs[head->entries - 1]). Yes, I think I like this better.
