This patch implements a live file scanner for online fsck functions that
require the ability to walk a filesystem to gather metadata records and
stay informed about metadata changes to files that have already been
visited.
The iscan structure consists of two inode number cursors: one to track
which inode we want to visit next, and a second one to track which
inodes have already been visited. This second cursor is key to
capturing live updates to files previously scanned while the main thread
continues scanning -- any inode greater than this value hasn't been
scanned and can go on its way; any other update must be incorporated
into the collected data. It is critical for the scanning thraad to hold
exclusive access on the inode until after marking the inode visited.
This new code is a separate patch from the patchsets adding callers for
the sake of enabling the author to move patches around his tree with
ease. The intended usage model for this code is roughly:
xchk_iscan_start(iscan, 0, 0);
while ((error = xchk_iscan_iter(sc, iscan, &ip)) == 1) {
xfs_ilock(ip, ...);
/* capture inode metadata */
xchk_iscan_mark_visited(iscan, ip);
xfs_iunlock(ip, ...);
xfs_irele(ip);
}
xchk_iscan_stop(iscan);
if (error)
return error;
Hook functions for live updates can then do:
if (xchk_iscan_want_live_update(...))
/* update the captured inode metadata */

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.
