After the long discussion about warning the user and/or consumer
of xfs_metadumps about dirty logs, it crossed my mind that we
could use the reserved slot in the metadump header to tag the
file with attributes, so the consumer of the metadump knows how
it was created.

This patch adds 3 flags to describe the metadump: dirty log,
obfuscated, and full blocks (unused portions of metadata blocks
are not zeroed out).

It then adds a new option to xfs_mdrestore, "-i" to show info,
which can be used with or without a target file:

# xfs_mdrestore -i metadumpfile
metadumpfile: not obfuscated, clean log, full metadata blocks

If we always wrote zero for mb_reserved previously, how do we
distinguish between a non-obfuscated partial-block clean-log metadump
and an old metadump?  Do we care?

I imagine metadumps are fairly transitory in nature, so it might not be
a big deal, and probably not worth burning 1/8 of our flag-space over
since AFAICT we don't use the(se) flags for any serious behavioral
changes.

Oh right.  ;)

OTOH, how many flags would we possibly have?  I'm ok with adding a
"we have flags" flag, too.

We can't extend the metadump header in a backwards compatible way
unless mdrestore already rejects metadumps with non-zero mb_reserved
fields....

Cheers,

There's no action taken based on the contents; it's information only,
and essentially optional.  It doesn't affect the primary functionality of
mdrestore in any way.

The reserved field has always been zeroed before; if newer mdrestore finds
all zeros, it can say "no info available."

If newer mdrestore finds a "we have flags" flag, it can report information
contained there.

What hole am I missing?

Thanks,

Can certainly add that info to the commit log if it helps.

That I read "we have flags flag" as a "we have another flags field"
flag. Which can't be done because the block index is packed hard
against the struct xfs_metablock header.

typedef struct xfs_metablock {
        __be32          mb_magic;
        __be16          mb_count;
        __uint8_t       mb_blocklog;
        __uint8_t       mb_reserved;
        /* followed by an array of xfs_daddr_t */      <<<<<<<<<
} xfs_metablock_t;

And:

block_index = (__be64 *)((char *)metablock + sizeof(xfs_metablock_t));

So, if you change the size of the struct xfs_metablock - which would
need to be done to version the structure and add a specific flags
field - then it changes the location of the first block index in the
metadump header. Older mdrestore binaries will not understand this
and do the wrong thing....

As such, even if we don't change the size of the header, the flags
can only be informational. They can't indicate a change in metadata
format or behaviour such feature flags requires older mdrestorei
binaries to reject flags they don't understand. In that case,
calling the field "mb_info" might be more appropriate....

Dave.

Right, I'm not doing that.

I'm suggesting that mb_reserved has been zeroed out from day 1, so
the presence of /anything/ there indicates a newer format.

As Darrick pointed out, the absence of anything there isn't helpful,
unless we:

#define XFS_METADUMP_INFO_FLAGS (1 << 0)

and set that in newer metadump - then we'll know that the presence
or absence of any other feature flags will tell us something
about the dump.  If the INFO_FLAGS flag isn't set, it's an
old dump, and we can't learn anything.

Right, that's why I made the option to read them "-i" (info),
and nothing else.

Certainly can't use them for format changes.

Sure, I can change the field name to make it more clear.
