SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +====================== +The SGI XFS Filesystem +====================== + +XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated +on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can +support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, +variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of +Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance +and scalability. + +Refer to the documentation at https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org/ +for further details. This implementation is on-disk compatible +with the IRIX version of XFS. + + +Mount Options +============= + +When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted. For +boolean mount options, the names with the "(*)" prefix is the default behaviour. +For example, take a behaviour enabled by default to be a one (1) or, a zero (0) +otherwise, ``(*)[no]default`` would be 0 while ``[no](*)default`` , a 1. + + allocsize= + Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when doing delayed + allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB). Valid values for this + option are page size (typically 4KiB) through to 1GiB, inclusive, in + power-of-2 increments. + + The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file preallocation size, + which uses a set of heuristics to optimise the preallocation size based + on the current allocation patterns within the file and the access + patterns to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off the + dynamic behaviour. + + [no]attr2 + The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to be made in + the way inline extended attributes are stored on-disk. When the new + form is used for the first time when ``attr2`` is selected (either when + setting or removing extended attributes) the on-disk superblock feature + bit field will be updated to reflect this format being in use. + + The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature bit + indicating that ``attr2`` behaviour is active. If either mount option is + set, then that becomes the new default used by the filesystem. However + on CRC enabled filesystems, the ``attr2`` format is always used , and so + will reject the ``noattr2`` mount option if it is set. + + (*)[no]discard + Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block device reclaim + space freed by the filesystem. This is useful for SSD devices, thinly + provisioned LUNs and virtual machine images, but may have a performance + impact. + + Note: It is currently recommended that you use the ``fstrim`` + application to discard unused blocks rather than the ``discard`` mount + option because the performance impact of this option is quite severe. + + grpid/bsdgroups + nogrpid/(*)sysvgroups + These options define what group ID a newly created file gets. When + ``grpid`` is set, it takes the group ID of the directory in which it is + created; otherwise it takes the ``fsgid`` of the current process, unless + the directory has the ``setgid`` bit set, in which case it takes the + ``gid`` from the parent directory, and also gets the ``setgid`` bit set + if it is a directory itself. + + filestreams + Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode across the + entire filesystem rather than just on directories configured to use it. + + (*)[no]ikeep + When ``ikeep`` is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode clusters + and keeps them around on disk. When ``noikeep`` is specified, empty + inode clusters are returned to the free space pool. + + inode32 | (*)inode64 + When ``inode32`` is specified, it indicates that XFS limits inode + creation to locations which will not result in inode numbers with more + than 32 bits of significance. + + When ``inode64`` is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed to + create inodes at any location in the filesystem, including those which + will result in inode numbers occupying more than 32 bits of + significance. + + ``inode32`` is provided for backwards compatibility with older systems + and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might cause problems for + some applications that cannot handle large inode numbers. If + applications are in use which do not handle inode numbers bigger than 32 + bits, the ``inode32`` option should be specified. + + + (*)[no]largeio + If ``nolargeio`` is specified, the optimal I/O reported in st_blksize by + **stat(2)** will be as small as possible to allow user applications to + avoid inefficient read/modify/write I/O. This is typically the page + size of the machine, as this is the granularity of the page cache. + + If ``largeio`` is specified, a filesystem that was created with a + ``swidth`` specified will return the ``swidth`` value (in bytes) in + st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a ``swidth`` specified but + does specify an ``allocsize`` then ``allocsize`` (in bytes) will be + returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour is the same as if + ``nolargeio`` was specified. + + logbufs= + Set the number of in-memory log buffers to ``value``. Valid numbers + range from 2-8 inclusive. + + The default value is 8 buffers. + + If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small systems, then + it may be reduced at some cost to performance on metadata intensive + workloads. The ``logbsize`` option below controls the size of each + buffer and so is also relevant to this case. + + logbsize= + Set the size of each in-memory log buffer to ``value``. The size may be + specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix. Valid sizes for + version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) and 32768 (32k). Valid + sizes for version 2 logs also include 65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and + 262144 (256k). The ``logbsize`` must be an integer multiple of the + "log stripe unit" configured at mkfs time. + + The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the default + value for version 2 logs is ``MAX(32768, log_sunit)``. + + logdev= + Use ``device`` as an external log (metadata journal). In an XFS + filesystem, the log device can be separate from the data device or + contained within it. + + rtdev= + An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log section, + and a real-time section. The real-time section is optional. If + enabled, ``rtdev`` sets ``device`` to be used as an external real-time + section, similar to ``logdev`` above. + + noalign + Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit boundaries.

The implementation introduces the following concepts to the error +handler: + + -failure speed: + Defines how fast XFS should propagate an error upwards when a specific + error is found during the filesystem operation. It can propagate + immediately, after a defined number of retries, after a set time period, + or simply retry forever. + + -error classes: + Specifies the subsystem the error configuration will apply to, such as + metadata IO or memory allocation. Different subsystems will have + different error handlers for which behaviour can be configured. + + -error handlers: + Defines the behavior for a specific error. + +The filesystem behavior during an error can be set via sysfs files. Each +error handler works independently - the first condition met by an error handler +for a specific class will cause the error to be propagated rather than reset and +retried. + +The action taken by the filesystem when the error is propagated is context +dependent - it may cause a shut down in the case of an unrecoverable error, +it may be reported back to userspace, or it may even be ignored because +there's nothing useful we can with the error or anyone we can report it to (e.g. +during unmount). + +The configuration files are organized into the following hierarchy for each +mounted filesystem: + + /sys/fs/xfs//error/// + +Where: + + The short device name of the mounted filesystem.

As of 4.9, the defined + classes are: + + - "metadata": applies metadata buffer write IO + + + The individual error handler configurations. + + +Each filesystem has "global" error configuration options defined in their top +level directory: + + /sys/fs/xfs//error/ + + fail_at_unmount (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1) + Defines the filesystem error behavior at unmount time. + + If set to a value of 1, XFS will override all other error configurations + during unmount and replace them with "immediate fail" characteristics. + i.e. no retries, no retry timeout. This will always allow unmount to + succeed when there are persistent errors present. + + If set to 0, the configured retry behaviour will continue until all + retries and/or timeouts have been exhausted. This will delay unmount + completion when there are persistent errors, and it may prevent the + filesystem from ever unmounting fully in the case of "retry forever" + handler configurations. + + Note: there is no guarantee that fail_at_unmount can be set while an + unmount is in progress. It is possible that the sysfs entries are + removed by the unmounting filesystem before a "retry forever" error + handler configuration causes unmount to hang, and hence the filesystem + must be configured appropriately before unmount begins to prevent + unmount hangs. + +Each filesystem has specific error class handlers that define the error +propagation behaviour for specific errors. There is also a "default" error +handler defined, which defines the behaviour for all errors that don't have +specific handlers defined.

It is completely multi-threaded, can -support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, -variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of -Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance -and scalability. - -Refer to the documentation at https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org/ -for further details. This implementation is on-disk compatible -with the IRIX version of XFS. - - -Mount Options -============= - -When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted. -For boolean mount options, the names with the (*) suffix is the -default behaviour. - - allocsize=size - Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when - doing delayed allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB). - Valid values for this option are page size (typically 4KiB) - through to 1GiB, inclusive, in power-of-2 increments. - - The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file - preallocation size, which uses a set of heuristics to - optimise the preallocation size based on the current - allocation patterns within the file and the access patterns - to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off - the dynamic behaviour. - - attr2 - noattr2 - The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to - be made in the way inline extended attributes are stored - on-disk. When the new form is used for the first time when - attr2 is selected (either when setting or removing extended - attributes) the on-disk superblock feature bit field will be - updated to reflect this format being in use. - - The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature - bit indicating that attr2 behaviour is active. If either - mount option it set, then that becomes the new default used - by the filesystem. - - CRC enabled filesystems always use the attr2 format, and so - will reject the noattr2 mount option if it is set. - - discard - nodiscard (*) - Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block - device reclaim space freed by the filesystem. This is - useful for SSD devices, thinly provisioned LUNs and virtual - machine images, but may have a performance impact. - - Note: It is currently recommended that you use the fstrim - application to discard unused blocks rather than the discard - mount option because the performance impact of this option - is quite severe. - - grpid/bsdgroups - nogrpid/sysvgroups (*) - These options define what group ID a newly created file - gets. When grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the - directory in which it is created; otherwise it takes the - fsgid of the current process, unless the directory has the - setgid bit set, in which case it takes the gid from the - parent directory, and also gets the setgid bit set if it is - a directory itself. - - filestreams - Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode - across the entire filesystem rather than just on directories - configured to use it. - - ikeep - noikeep (*) - When ikeep is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode - clusters and keeps them around on disk. When noikeep is - specified, empty inode clusters are returned to the free - space pool. - - inode32 - inode64 (*) - When inode32 is specified, it indicates that XFS limits - inode creation to locations which will not result in inode - numbers with more than 32 bits of significance. - - When inode64 is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed - to create inodes at any location in the filesystem, - including those which will result in inode numbers occupying - more than 32 bits of significance. - - inode32 is provided for backwards compatibility with older - systems and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might - cause problems for some applications that cannot handle - large inode numbers. If applications are in use which do - not handle inode numbers bigger than 32 bits, the inode32 - option should be specified. - - - largeio - nolargeio (*) - If "nolargeio" is specified, the optimal I/O reported in - st_blksize by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow - user applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write - I/O. This is typically the page size of the machine, as - this is the granularity of the page cache. - - If "largeio" specified, a filesystem that was created with a - "swidth" specified will return the "swidth" value (in bytes) - in st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a "swidth" - specified but does specify an "allocsize" then "allocsize" - (in bytes) will be returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour - is the same as if "nolargeio" was specified. - - logbufs=value - Set the number of in-memory log buffers. Valid numbers - range from 2-8 inclusive. - - The default value is 8 buffers. - - If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small - systems, then it may be reduced at some cost to performance - on metadata intensive workloads. The logbsize option below - controls the size of each buffer and so is also relevant to - this case. - - logbsize=value - Set the size of each in-memory log buffer. The size may be - specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix. - Valid sizes for version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) - and 32768 (32k). Valid sizes for version 2 logs also - include 65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and 262144 (256k). The - logbsize must be an integer multiple of the log - stripe unit configured at mkfs time. - - The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the - default value for version 2 logs is MAX(32768, log_sunit). - - logdev=device and rtdev=device - Use an external log (metadata journal) and/or real-time device. - An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log - section, and a real-time section. The real-time section is - optional, and the log section can be separate from the data - section or contained within it. - - noalign - Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit - boundaries. This is only relevant to filesystems created - with non-zero data alignment parameters (sunit, swidth) by - mkfs. - - norecovery - The filesystem will be mounted without running log recovery. - If the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to - be inconsistent when mounted in "norecovery" mode. - Some files or directories may not be accessible because of this. - Filesystems mounted "norecovery" must be mounted read-only or - the mount will fail. - - nouuid - Don't check for double mounted file systems using the file - system uuid. This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes, - and often used in combination with "norecovery" for mounting - read-only snapshots. - - noquota - Forcibly turns off all quota accounting and enforcement - within the filesystem. - - uquota/usrquota/uqnoenforce/quota - User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally) - enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details. - - gquota/grpquota/gqnoenforce - Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally) - enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details. - - pquota/prjquota/pqnoenforce - Project disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally) - enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details. - - sunit=value and swidth=value - Used to specify the stripe unit and width for a RAID device - or a stripe volume. "value" must be specified in 512-byte - block units. These options are only relevant to filesystems - that were created with non-zero data alignment parameters. - - The sunit and swidth parameters specified must be compatible - with the existing filesystem alignment characteristics. In - general, that means the only valid changes to sunit are - increasing it by a power-of-2 multiple. Valid swidth values - are any integer multiple of a valid sunit value. - - Typically the only time these mount options are necessary if - after an underlying RAID device has had it's geometry - modified, such as adding a new disk to a RAID5 lun and - reshaping it. - - swalloc - Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries - when the current end of file is being extended and the file - size is larger than the stripe width size. - - wsync - When specified, all filesystem namespace operations are - executed synchronously. This ensures that when the namespace - operation (create, unlink, etc) completes, the change to the - namespace is on stable storage. This is useful in HA setups - where failover must not result in clients seeing - inconsistent namespace presentation during or after a - failover event. - - -Deprecated Mount Options -======================== - - Name Removal Schedule - ---- ---------------- - - -Removed Mount Options -===================== - - Name Removed - ---- ------- - delaylog/nodelaylog v4.0 - ihashsize v4.0 - irixsgid v4.0 - osyncisdsync/osyncisosync v4.0 - barrier v4.19 - nobarrier v4.19 - - -sysctls -======= - -The following sysctls are available for the XFS filesystem: - - fs.xfs.stats_clear (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 1) - Setting this to "1" clears accumulated XFS statistics - in /proc/fs/xfs/stat.

The implementation introduces the following concepts to the error -handler: - - -failure speed: - Defines how fast XFS should propagate an error upwards when a specific - error is found during the filesystem operation. It can propagate - immediately, after a defined number of retries, after a set time period, - or simply retry forever. - - -error classes: - Specifies the subsystem the error configuration will apply to, such as - metadata IO or memory allocation. Different subsystems will have - different error handlers for which behaviour can be configured. - - -error handlers: - Defines the behavior for a specific error. - -The filesystem behavior during an error can be set via sysfs files. Each -error handler works independently - the first condition met by an error handler -for a specific class will cause the error to be propagated rather than reset and -retried. - -The action taken by the filesystem when the error is propagated is context -dependent - it may cause a shut down in the case of an unrecoverable error, -it may be reported back to userspace, or it may even be ignored because -there's nothing useful we can with the error or anyone we can report it to (e.g. -during unmount). - -The configuration files are organized into the following hierarchy for each -mounted filesystem: - - /sys/fs/xfs//error/// - -Where: - - The short device name of the mounted filesystem. This is the same device - name that shows up in XFS kernel error messages as "XFS(): ..." - - - The subsystem the error configuration belongs to. As of 4.9, the defined - classes are: - - - "metadata": applies metadata buffer write IO - - - The individual error handler configurations. - - -Each filesystem has "global" error configuration options defined in their top -level directory: - - /sys/fs/xfs//error/ - - fail_at_unmount (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1) - Defines the filesystem error behavior at unmount time. - - If set to a value of 1, XFS will override all other error configurations - during unmount and replace them with "immediate fail" characteristics. - i.e. no retries, no retry timeout. This will always allow unmount to - succeed when there are persistent errors present. - - If set to 0, the configured retry behaviour will continue until all - retries and/or timeouts have been exhausted. This will delay unmount - completion when there are persistent errors, and it may prevent the - filesystem from ever unmounting fully in the case of "retry forever" - handler configurations. - - Note: there is no guarantee that fail_at_unmount can be set while an - unmount is in progress. It is possible that the sysfs entries are - removed by the unmounting filesystem before a "retry forever" error - handler configuration causes unmount to hang, and hence the filesystem - must be configured appropriately before unmount begins to prevent - unmount hangs. - -Each filesystem has specific error class handlers that define the error -propagation behaviour for specific errors. There is also a "default" error -handler defined, which defines the behaviour for all errors that don't have -specific handlers defined. Where multiple retry constraints are configuredi for -a single error, the first retry configuration that expires will cause the error -to be propagated. The handler configurations are found in the directory: - - /sys/fs/xfs//error/// - - max_retries (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: INTMAX) - Defines the allowed number of retries of a specific error before - the filesystem will propagate the error. The retry count for a given - error context (e.g. a specific metadata buffer) is reset every time - there is a successful completion of the operation. - - Setting the value to "-1" will cause XFS to retry forever for this - specific error. - - Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the - specific error is reported. - - Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will make XFS retry the - operation "N" times before propagating the error. - - retry_timeout_seconds (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: 1 day) - Define the amount of time (in seconds) that the filesystem is - allowed to retry its operations when the specific error is - found. - - Setting the value to "-1" will allow XFS to retry forever for this - specific error. - - Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the - specific error is reported. - - Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will allow XFS to retry the - operation for up to "N" seconds before propagating the error. - -Note: The default behaviour for a specific error handler is dependent on both -the class and error context. For example, the default values for -"metadata/ENODEV" are "0" rather than "-1" so that this error handler defaults -to "fail immediately" behaviour. This is done because ENODEV is a fatal, -unrecoverable error no matter how many times the metadata IO is retried. diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index d0ed73599..66e972e9a 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -17364,7 +17364,7 @@ L: linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org W: http://xfs.org/ T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux.git S: Supported -F: Documentation/filesystems/xfs.txt +F: Documentation/filesystems/xfs.rst F: fs/xfs/ XILINX AXI ETHERNET DRIVER -- 2.22.0
