xchk_get_inode is not quite the right function to be calling from the
inode scrubber setup function. The common get_inode function either
gets an inode and installs it in the scrub context, or it returns an
error code explaining what happened. This is acceptable for most file
scrubbers because it is not in their scope to fix corruptions in the
inode core and fork areas that cause iget to fail.
Dealing with these problems is within the scope of the inode scrubber,
however. If iget fails with EFSCORRUPTED, we need to xchk_inode to flag
that as corruption. Since we can't get our hands on an incore inode, we
need to hold the AGI to prevent inode allocation activity so that
nothing changes in the inode metadata.
Looking ahead to the inode core repair patches, we will also need to
hold the AGI buffer into xrep_inode so that we can make modifications to
the xfs_dinode structure without any other thread swooping in to
allocate or free the inode.
Adapt the xchk_get_inode into xchk_setup_inode since this is a one-off
use case where the error codes we check for are a little different, and
the return state is much different from the common function.
xchk_setup_inode prepares to check or repair an inode record, so it must
continue the scrub operation even if the inode/inobt verifiers cause
xfs_iget to return EFSCORRUPTED. This is done by attaching the locked
AGI buffer to the scrub transaction and returning 0 to move on to the
actual scrub. (Later, the online inode repair code will also want the
xfs_imap structure so that it can reset the ondisk xfs_dinode
structure.)
xchk_get_inode retrieves an inode on behalf of a scrubber that operates
on an incore inode -- data/attr/cow forks, directories, xattrs,
symlinks, parent pointers, etc. If the inode/inobt verifiers fail and
xfs_iget returns EFSCORRUPTED, we want to exit to userspace (because the
caller should be fix the inode first) and drop everything we acquired
along the way.
A behavior common to both functions is that it's possible that xfs_scrub
asked for a scrub-by-handle concurrent with the inode being freed or the
passed-in inumber is invalid. In this case, we call xfs_imap to see if
the inobt index thinks the inode is allocated, and return ENOENT
("nothing to check here") to userspace if this is not the case. The
imap lookup is why both functions call xchk_iget_agi.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
