From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Provide a mkfs helper to format the dm thin device when external devices
are in use, and fix the dmthin mount helper to support them.  This fixes
regressions in generic/347 and generic/500 when external logs are in
use.

What does this do for non-xfs filesystems? Do we need a FSTYP check and
do chattr only on XFS?

Thanks,

This clears the FS_NOTAIL_FL flag, which prevents tail merging, on the
root directory of the mounted scratch file system.  That should be
harmless on non-xfs file systems; in fact, the only file system that
even uses NOTAIL_FL flag is reiserfs, and the NOTAIL_FL flag is not
set by default on the root directory of a newly created reiserfs file
system.

However, by default reiserfs does not support the
FS_IOC_{GET,SET}FLAGS ioctl unless the mount option "attrs" is given.
Why, I have no idea:

root@kvm-xfstests:~# mount -t reiserfs /vtmp/foo.img /mnt
root@kvm-xfstests:~# xfs_io -c 'chattr -t' /mnt
xfs_io: cannot get flags on /mnt: Inappropriate ioctl for device

So it might be a good idea to redirect stderr for the xfs_io
invocation to /dev/null, for those file systems which do not support
the FS_IOC_{GET,SET}FLAGS ioctls.

I also have no idea why this helps for xfs --- I would think it's a
no-op, but I'm guessing there's some magical side-effect which is
taking place when FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl is processed?  Maybe it would
be worth a comment explaining what is going on --- and whether this is
going to make any difference if the patch series which unifies
FS_IOC_{GETSET}FLAGS handling is merged?

No, this is not the 'chattr' CLI program. This is the xfs_io
'chattr' command, and they have different attribute namespaces. See
xfs_io for the definitions, but in this case:

	 t    inherit realtime flag (XFS_XFLAG_RTINHERIT)

And so clearing that flag ensures that all newly created files
are on the data device, as per the comment...

Because it's not what you think it is. :)

Cheers,

Dave.

Yes, I think so.  Will fix.
