similar to: [PATCH] Btrfs: compressed file size ioctl

Just a quick update, I''ve dropped the hashing stuff in favor of doing a memcmp in the kernel to make sure the data is still the same. The thing that takes a while is reading the data up from disk, so doing a memcmp of the entire buffer isn''t that big of a deal, not to mention there''s a possiblity for malicious users if there is a problem with the hashing algorithms we

Hi everyone, This patchset is the latest approach I''m using for the Ceph storage daemon to keep track of which data has safely committed to disk. The basic idea is to not use the (problematic) user transaction ioctls at all. Instead, the daemon quiesces its own write requests, initiates an async snapshot, and then continues. The snapshot approach is nice because it provides rollback.

Hi Chris, This is the extent of my current queue of Btrfs snapshot/subvol/commit stuff. Most of these were posted several months ago. Can be sent upstream during this merge window? Not having this functionality is becoming a bit of a roadblock for our efforts to keep the Ceph data in a consistent state. These patches are also available from

While testing raid-auto-repair patches I''m going to send out later, I just found the very last bug in my current scrub patch series: Changelog v4->v5: - fixed a deadlock when fixup is taking longer while scrub is about to end Original message follows: ------------------------ This patch set introduces two new features for scrub. They share the backref iteration code which is the

Hi, The following series of patches implements in btrfs an ioctl to do out-of-band deduplication of file extents. To be clear, this means that the file system is mounted and running, but the dedupe is not done during file writes, but after the fact when some userspace software initiates a dedupe. The primary patch is loosely based off of one sent by Josef Bacik back in January, 2011.

Testing with a modified copy of the fsfuzz, the btrfs filesystem hanged with the following output in dmesg. The system still remain responsive, except for the terminal that was doing the testing. Any attempt to list files in the btrfs-mounted directory will block as well. I am not sure how to proceed from here. Possibly to reboot the system next. But anyone can shed some suggestion?

This series introduces a generic readahead interface for btrfs trees. The intention is to use it to speed up scrub in a first run, but balance is another hot candidate. In general, every tree walk could be accompanied by a readahead. Deletion of large files comes to mind, where the fetching of the csums takes most of the time. Also the initial build-ups of free-space-caches and

Hi all - The following 9 patches add more error handling to the btrfs code: - Add btrfs_panic - Catch locking failures in {set,clear}_extent_bit - Push up set_extent_bit errors to callers - Push up lock_extent errors to callers - Push up clear_extent_bit errors to callers - Push up unlock_extent errors to callers - Make pin_down_extent return void - Push up btrfs_pin_extent errors to

Introduce a mandatory arch= key in all the entries of index files, to identify which architecture is each. Adapt the long and JSON list outputs to print also this new field. This introduces an incompatibility with index files created with virt-builder < 1.26, as they will be rejected until entries will have the arch= key added (which is ignored by older virt-builder, so adding it will not

This is the next patch series for scrub userland tools. Change log v1->v2: - commands now reachable as "btrfs scrub ..." instead of "btrfs filesystem scrub ..." - ability to scrub a single device instead of a whole file system - superfluous command line options removed - resume is now a separate command ("scrub resume") instead of "scrub start -r" -

From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> (This patch is for the review/test not yet for the integration). Here is an implementation of the feature to add label to the subvolume and snapshots. Which would help sysadmin to better manager the subvol and snapshots. This can be done in two ways, one - using attr which is user land only changes but drawback is able to change the label

This series adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified. If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy

Hi, this series adds a basic support for Simple Streams v1.0 metadata files. This makes it possible to create a repository .conf files with [cirros] uri=http://download.cirros-cloud.net format=simplestreams to read the latest version of each CirrOS image. TODO items: - a bit more testing: listing and creating images works, so the current metadata is correct - handle revisions, so newer

To make Btrfs code more robust, several return value checks where memory allocation can fail are introduced. I use BUG_ON where I don''t know how to handle the error properly, which increases the number of using the notorious BUG_ON, though.

Hi, This small patch serie adds a JSON output for virt-builder. This way it is possible to parse the list of available templates, with no need to parse the unstructured and possibly changing short and long outputs of virt-builder.

The 'may' function is a higher-order function (HOF) that replaces: match x with | None -> () | Some x -> f x with: may f x The idea comes from lablgtk (OCaml Gtk bindings) where it is widely used. If this change is clearer than previous code, then this could be used in many more places. However I previously steered clear from using HOFs like this because they can be

Here are patches to do offline deduplication for Btrfs. It works well for the cases it''s expected to, I''m looking for feedback on the ioctl interface and such, I''m well aware there are missing features for the userspace app (like being able to set a different blocksize). If this interface is acceptable I will flesh out the userspace app a little more, but I believe the
