Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: start gc on zonegc_low_space attribute updates
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:43:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325124312.26349-1-hans.holmberg@wdc.com> (raw)
Start gc if the agressiveness of zone garbage collection is changed
by the user (if the file system is not read only).
Without this change, the new setting will not be taken into account
until the gc thread is woken up by e.g. a write.
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v6.15
Fixes: 845abeb1f06a8a ("xfs: add tunable threshold parameter for triggering zone GC")
Signed-off-by: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@wdc.com>
---
v2:
- Added a new helper to wake up the gc thread in stead of unparking it,
which is required to make this work properly.
- Added protection against races with unmounts as sysfs gets torn down
after the zone info struct is freed. This also avoids unneded
wakeups during remount.
- Added fixes and stable cc tags as provided by Darrick.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20260320130256.35225-1-hans.holmberg@wdc.com/
