I'd rather see mount options being used for filesystem-wide (or subvolume-wide) things, and renaming files is a local operation for which a finer grained control via chattr seems more fit. david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I think we can add a mount option, if the option is set, when we move a file to a new directory, or create a new file, we will inherit the flags of the parent. If not set, we inherit the flags only when create a new file. How do you think about it?

For completeness, the other inherited flags/attributes are compression statuses.

I think that many end users will find all this very confusing. They will never expect that renaming a file will cause it to suddenly lose one flag (NODATACOW) while preserving the other (NODATASUM). Especially since they cannot explicitly control the NODATASUM flag on a per file basis. I think that renaming a file should preserve all flags no matter if it's done in the same directory or not.

Actually what's in my mind is that we just allow files to inherit the parent
flags across different directories. This can ensure a rename in the same
directory keeps the file's flags.
Sort of this:
fixup_inode_flags(new, old)
{
if (new == old)
return;
...
}
But I don't know if it'll bring new bugs.
Any ideas?

We don't clone a file when the src(test2) file has NODATASUM and the dest(test3)
file does not have NODATASUM, or vice versa. This ensures our checksum's valid.
Here,
* test2 does has NODATASUM because test has NODATASUM, while
* test3 is a new created file, and we're not with '-o nodatasum' or
'-o nodatacow' mount options or we don't chattr test3,
so test3 does not have NODATASUM flags set.
So 'cp' ends up 'INVALID'.

Now test3 is with NODATACOW, so the above 'cp' works.

The C flag refers to NODATACOW, this NODATACOW is used to tell btrfs
if we write the file's data on COW mode.
So the failure of 'clone' does not equal to the file is NODATACOW.
Feel free to correct me.

No, it's not right.
For the users, they expect the C flag is not lost because they just do
a rename operation. but fixup_inode_flags() re-sets the flags by the
parent directory's flag.
I think we should inherit the flags from the parent just when we create
a new file/directory, in the other cases, just give a option to the users.
How do you think about?

Re: [PATCH] Btrfs: update inode flags when renaming
You are right, your patch does improve the situation a bit. But it
still does not address the main issue. To illustrate that, consider
the following scenario:
touch test
chattr +C test
head -c 1048576 /dev/zero >> test
mv test test2
now test2 lost the C flag because it was renamed. But the data in
test2 was written before it lost the C flag and so the extents do not
have checksums!
Also try to clone it with BTRFS_IOC_CLONE. It fails as if it had the C flag:
cp --reflink test2 test3
OTOH, if you try to clone over a file with NODATACOW then it works:
touch test3
chattr +C test3
cp --reflink test2 test3
so the file is in an incosistent state: it sometimes behaves as if it
had the NODATACOW flag and sometimes as if it didn't.
Thanks

What do you expect? IMO it's right that test2 does not have the C flag.
This patch ensure that we get the same result after we remount, no more
the C flag coming back :)

Re: [PATCH] Btrfs: update inode flags when renaming
Sorry, but the bug persists even with the above patch.
touch test
chattr +C test
lsattr test
mv test test2
lsattr test2
In the above scenario test2 will not have the C flag.
