(Without this feature, if xfs could not allocate contiguous -space for 64 new inodes, inode creation would fail.) - -In practice, the disk format change is restricted to the inode btree, -which as far as I can tell is not used by grub. If all you're doing -today is parsing a directory, reading an inode number, and converting -that inode number to a disk location, then ignoring this feature -should be fine, so I've added it to XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SUPPORTED - -I did some brief testing of this patch by hacking up the regression -tests to completely fragment freespace on the test xfs filesystem, and -then write a large-ish number of inodes to consume any existing -contiguous 64-inode chunk. This way any files the grub tests add and -traverse would be in such a fragmented inode allocation. Tests passed, -but I'm not sure how to cleanly integrate that into the test harness. - -Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> -Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com> -Tested-by: Chris Murphy <lists@colorremedies.com> ---- - grub-core/fs/xfs.c | 11 ++++++++++- - 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) - -diff --git a/grub-core/fs/xfs.c b/grub-core/fs/xfs.c -index c6031bd..3b00c74 100644 ---- a/grub-core/fs/xfs.c -+++ b/grub-core/fs/xfs.c -@@ -79,9 +79,18 @@ GRUB_MOD_LICENSE ("GPLv3+"); - #define XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SPINODES (1 << 1) /* sparse inode chunks */ - #define XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID (1 << 2) /* metadata UUID */ - --/* We do not currently verify metadata UUID so it is safe to read such filesystem */ -+/* -+ * Directory entries with ftype are explicitly handled by GRUB code. -+ * -+ * We do not currently read the inode btrees, so it is safe to read filesystems -+ * with the XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SPINODES feature. -+ * -+ * We do not currently verify metadata UUID, so it is safe to read filesystems -+ * with the XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID feature. -+ */ - #define XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SUPPORTED \ - (XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_FTYPE | \ -+ XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SPINODES | \ - XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID) - - struct grub_xfs_sblock --- -cgit v1.0-41-gc330 - - |
