This patchset includes the following features:
- Small fixes to improve btrfs-image error report
* Output error message for chunk tree build error
* Fix error output to show correct return value
Patch 1 and 2.
- Reduce memory usage when decompress super block
Independent change, for current btrfs-image, it will reduce buffer
size from 256K to fixed 4K.
Patch 3.
- Rework how we search chunk tree blocks
Instead of iterating clusters again and again for each chunk tree
block, record system chunk array and iterate clusters once for all
chunk tree blocks.
This should reduce restore time for large image dump.
Patch 4, 5 and 6.
- Introduce data dump feature to dump the whole fs.
This will introduce a new magic number to prevent old btrfs-image to
hit failure as the item size limit is enlarged.
Patch 7 and 8.
- Reduce memory usage for data dump restore
This is mostly due to the fact that we have much larger
max_pending_size introduced by data dump(256K -> 256M).
Using 4 * max_pending_size for each decompress thread as buffer is way
too expensive now.
Use proper inflate() to replace uncompress() calls.
Patch 9 and 10.
Changelog:
v2:
- New small fixes:
* Fix a confusing error message due to unpopulated errno
* Output error message for chunk tree build error
- Fix a regression of previous version
Patch "btrfs-progs: image: Rework how we search chunk tree blocks"
deleted a "ret = 0" line which could cause false early exit.
- Reduce memory usage for data dump
v2.1:
- Rebased to devel branch
Removing 4 already merged patches from the patchset.
- Re-order the patchset
Put small and independent patches at the top of queue, and put the
data dump related feature at the end.
- Fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings
Strangely, D=1 won't trigger these warnings thus they sneak into v2
without being detected.
- Fix FROM: line
Reverted to old smtp setup. The new setup will override FROM: line,
messing up the name of author.
v3:
- Fix a wrong option in error string
- Fix a bug that we always dump data extents
