xfs: implement live inode scan for scrub
This patch implements a live file scanner for online fsck functions that require the ability to walk a filesystem to gather metadata records and stay informed about metadata changes to files that have already been visited. The iscan structure consists of two inode number cursors: one to track which inode we want to visit next, and a second one to track which inodes have already been visited. This second cursor is key to capturing live updates to files previously scanned while the main thread continues scanning -- any inode greater than this value hasn't been scanned and can go on its way; any other update must be incorporated into the collected data. It is critical for the scanning thraad to hold exclusive access on the inode until after marking the inode visited. This new code is a separate patch from the patchsets adding callers for the sake of enabling the author to move patches around his tree with ease. The intended usage model for this code is roughly: xchk_iscan_start(iscan, 0, 0); while ((error = xchk_iscan_iter(sc, iscan, &ip)) == 1) { xfs_ilock(ip, ...); /* capture inode metadata */ xchk_iscan_mark_visited(iscan, ip); xfs_iunlock(ip, ...); xfs_irele(ip); } xchk_iscan_stop(iscan); if (error) return error; Hook functions for live updates can then do: if (xchk_iscan_want_live_update(...)) /* update the captured inode metadata */ Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
