Merge tag 'xfs-rmap-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.
Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
or free extents. i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
already maintain and never overlaps with them.
This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming
along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
infrastructure.
As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an
experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
with this code in it is released.
The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
hours ago. The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
the upcoming reflink patchset. This new ENOSPC infrastructure
requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.
This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"
