Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] xfs: check directory data block header padding in scrub
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:24:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260411142411.72194-8-ytohnuki@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260411142411.72194-5-ytohnuki@amazon.com>
Add the missing scrub check for the pad field in directory data block
headers. Old kernels may have written non-zero padding without issue,
and the write path now self-heals stale padding on modification. Flag
non-zero padding as an optimization opportunity (preen) rather than
corruption.
Add xchk_fblock_set_preen helper for reporting file fork block issues
that could be optimized. The trace event xchk_fblock_preen already
exists.
