Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v7 00/11] f2fs: prepare metadata layouts for runtime block sizes
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:05:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1788213716.git.zhangxp1998@gmail.com> (raw)
F2FS currently describes several on-disk metadata layouts and filesystem
geometry values with constants derived from PAGE_SIZE or a fixed 4KB block
size. This series derives those values from the mounted filesystem's block
size instead, as preparation for supporting filesystem blocks smaller than
PAGE_SIZE.
The patches initialize sb_info early, describe the SIT, NAT, orphan, dentry,
node, and xattr layouts dynamically, parameterize sector/byte/block
conversion helpers, and derive node-tree geometry at runtime.
This series does not relax the block-size mount check or enable subpage I/O.
It is intended to be a behavior-preserving refactoring for currently
supported 4KB-block filesystems.
Changes since v6:
- no code changes
- return to inline patches sent by git send-email through direct SMTP; the
previous Gmail API transport reflowed long lines in text/plain bodies
- verified an actual SMTP-received copy of patch 01/11 with git am; its long
hunk headers were intact and the resulting tree matched the original commit
- send the cover and 01/11 first and verify the list-received raw copy before
completing the series
v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAH=xXfE6o2sLwcYdoH9cayZpbf389y8PeJ_aDRty61i7q4QKow@mail.gmail.com/
Changes since v3:
- no code changes; v4 through v6 were transport-only resends after the
delivered inline patches were corrupted by line wrapping
v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfEFL7w7nsU3xjNubKJ1soYMqT-DbJBuyzfEX4Rv3rdFEA@mail.gmail.com/
Changes since v2:
- use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for flexible arrays that are alone in a struct or
used in a union, fixing the reported m68k GCC build failures
- use F2FS_BLK_ALIGN() in f2fs_sec_trim_file() to avoid a runtime 64-bit
division and an unresolved __divdi3 reference on 32-bit SH
- no other code changes
Changes since v1:
- rebase onto f2fs/dev at c966d29e01bb
- drop the unrelated free-NID underflow fix from this series
- split the preparatory changes into 11 focused patches
- initialize sb_info earlier and describe the xattr layout explicitly
- separate sector, byte/block, and block-size macro parameterization
- update commit messages and address checkpatch warnings
v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfHWW_J92z3YgvoLSx8+z6rekq=p2kiP15KE9=2+Ju2RjQ@mail.gmail.com/
v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfFVAwQ3r_NdUDtmXhtg6Lw8kDWoNTzGL5oy4mwHMsJLJw@mail.gmail.com/
Tested with:
- x86_64 W=1 F2FS build at every patch
- arm64 16KB-page W=1 F2FS build at the series tip
- m68k W=1 F2FS builds with the two reported randconfigs at the affected
patch points
- SH W=1 F2FS build with the reported randconfig at the affected patch;
fs/f2fs/file.o has no __divdi3 reference
- scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict (no errors or warnings)
