Subject: [PATCH] xfs: accept filesystem with sparse inodes
|
|
|
f731ee |
|
|
|
f731ee |
The sparse inode metadata format became a mkfs.xfs default in
|
|
|
f731ee |
xfsprogs-4.16.0, and such filesystems are now rejected by grub as
|
|
|
f731ee |
containing an incompatible feature.
|
|
|
f731ee |
|
|
|
f731ee |
In essence, this feature allows xfs to allocate inodes into fragmented
|
|
|
f731ee |
freespace. (Without this feature, if xfs could not allocate contiguous
|
|
|
f731ee |
space for 64 new inodes, inode creation would fail.)
|
|
|
f731ee |
|
|
|
f731ee |
In practice, the disk format change is restricted to the inode btree,
|
|
|
f731ee |
which as far as I can tell is not used by grub. If all you're doing
|
|
|
f731ee |
today is parsing a directory, reading an inode number, and converting
|
|
|
f731ee |
that inode number to a disk location, then ignoring this feature
|
|
|
f731ee |
should be fine, so I've added it to XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SUPPORTED
|
|
|
f731ee |
|
|
|
f731ee |
I did some brief testing of this patch by hacking up the regression
|
|
|
f731ee |
tests to completely fragment freespace on the test xfs filesystem, and
|
|
|
f731ee |
then write a large-ish number of inodes to consume any existing
|
|
|
f731ee |
contiguous 64-inode chunk. This way any files the grub tests add and
|
|
|
f731ee |
traverse would be in such a fragmented inode allocation. Tests passed,
|
|
|
f731ee |
but I'm not sure how to cleanly integrate that into the test harness.
