    xfs: disable swap extents ioctl on CRC enabled filesystems · 02f75405

    Currently, swapping extents from one inode to another is a simple
    act of switching data and attribute forks from one inode to another.
    This, unfortunately in no longer so simple with CRC enabled
    filesystems as there is owner information embedded into the BMBT
    blocks that are swapped between inodes. Hence swapping the forks
    between inodes results in the inodes having mapping blocks that
    point to the wrong owner and hence are considered corrupt.
    
    To fix this we need an extent tree block or record based swap
    algorithm so that the BMBT block owner information can be updated
    atomically in the swap transaction. This is a significant piece of
    new work, so for the moment simply don't allow swap extent
    operations to succeed on CRC enabled filesystems.
