Subject: [PATCH 34/48] xfs: allow xfs_imap() to map without an inode btree lookup
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:01:24 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013060204.3138690-35-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013060204.3138690-1-dgc@kernel.org>
xfs_imap() maps an inode number to its cluster buffer location. For the common
inode cluster geometries it does this by arithmetic, but for the general case it
falls back to an inode btree lookup that reads the AGI and walks the inode
btree.
Some callers cannot allow that lookup. Log recovery in particular wants to
cross-check a logged inode buffer location against the one derived from the
inode number, but it runs before the filesystem is fully available and must not
issue btree lookups.
Add an XFS_IMAP_NO_LOOKUP flag. When it is set, xfs_imap() maps the inode by
arithmetic alone and returns -EAGAIN instead of performing the btree lookup, so
the caller can tell that arithmetic mapping was not possible for this geometry.
