This patchset intends to reduce confusion about "max_inline" mount
option.
The max_inline mount option has the following problems:
1) Different behavior for plain and compressed data extent
For plain data extent, it's limiting the extent data size, and will
never reach sector size.
For compressed data extent, it's limiting the compressed data size,
and compressed data size can reach sector size.
The compressed behavior is very confusing for normal user, as it's
almost impossible for end user to know if their operation will end up
inlined or no inlined.
2) Inaccurate max inline output
Passing max_inline=4096 and kernel will prompt max_inline is 4096,
but we still don't allow inline plain data extent to reach 4096.
3) Symbol link can exceed sector size for its inlined data
Since btrfs_symlink() is calling BTRFS_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE()
directly without extra truncation.
This patchset will fixes such problems by:
1) Limit both plain and compressed inline extent size by uncompressed
data size
So user know exactly what will end up on-disk, just by checking the data
size.
2) Output max inline size by limiting it to BTRFS_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE()
other than sector size.
3) Embed sector size check into BTRFS_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE()
So now btrfs_symlink() won't create any inline extent larger than
page size.
(Only affects later operations, and can still read such existing
symbol link)
Qu Wenruo (5):
btrfs: Parse options after node/sector size initialized
btrfs: Always limit inline extent size by uncompressed size
btrfs: Embed sector size check into BTRFS_MAX_INLINE_DATA_SIZE()
btrfs: Unify inline extent creation condition for plain and compressed
data
btrfs: Show more accurate max_inline
