[PATCH] ext4: allow defrag (EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT) in 32bit ...
I have an x86_64 kernel with i386 userspace. e4defrag fails on the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl because it is not wired up for the compat case. It seems that struct move_extent is compat save, only types with fixed widths are used: { __u32 reserved; /* should be zero */ __u32 donor_fd; /* donor file descriptor */ __u64 orig_start; /* logical start offset in block for orig */ __u64 donor_start; /* logical start offset in block for donor */ ...

I'm curious, what is the overall deployment status of ext4 defragging? I actually worked on this problem years ago[1], and am hopeful that I will see defragging in a Linux distribution sometime in my lifetime! ;-) Looking at Fedora rawhide, I do not see anything resembling e4defrag in any of the RPM packages like e2fsprogs. Thanks to everyone working on this, Jeff [1] http://linux.yyz.us/misc/ext2meta.c --

Re: discard + LVM
It is expected, as lvm is not yet passing discard requests. I'd ask next on the LVM lists ;) --

Re: [incomplete PATCH] ext4: avoid overflow in fiemap
Check and see if it's still a problem with what I ultimately ended up pushing to Linus. Yes, the way I chose to fix things means that we'll never do more than 2**32-1 blocks at a time with fiemap, but in practice there's a limit to the number of extents that can be returned in a single fiemap call anyway, so in practice this shouldn't be a problem. - Ted --

Or maybe we should rename them be EXT4_ERROR and EXT4_WARNING. What do other people think? - Ted --

I think it would make for a lot of code churn without any rel value. We have lots of lower-case wrappers around functions for things like this already (e.g. ext4_journal_start(), etc. Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc. --

As the originator of the lower-case ext4_error and ext4_warning macros, I don't much care. I find the lower case more readable, but if the expectation in fs/extN is that ALL_MACROS_SHALL_BE_UPPER_CASE, that's fine by me. -Eric --
