Originally XFS takes the mode value passed in by the VFS and converts that to an XFS_DIR3_FT_* equivalent, which is passed around internally before being written to disk. On the way up (readdir), the _DIR3_FT_ values are converted to their DT_* equivalents before being passed back to the other VFS directory iterator functions. With this patch applied, XFS no longer gets to write its own ftype values to disk -- all that is now opaque in the VFS. Effectively, we lose control of that part of our own disk format. You can subtly change the range of fs_umode_to_ftype() and that'll get written to disk. Normally we evaluate creating new feature flags when the on-disk format changes, to try to minimize user problems. These problems could arise in xfs_dir3_get_dtype() which still relies on converting XFS_DIR3_FT_ values in to DT_ values, or with old versions of xfsprogs getting very confused when it encounters a new value. The proposed FT_* space also seems inflexible to the VFS -- the upper 5 bits are reserved for private use and the lower 3 bits are all in use, which means that the VFS cannot later add more type codes bits unless we can find bits that *nobody* else is using. (The same theoretically applies in reverse to XFS but as we don't have any private type codes, it's not an issue yet.) Furthermore, xfsprogs uses (roughly) the same libxfs code as the kernel. Any code hoisted out of the kernel libxfs into the VFS must still be provided for in xfsprogs so that we can build new xfsprogs on old kernel headers. If the hoist is into linux/fs.h, as is the case here, then xfsprogs must retain a private version of the definitions, grow a bunch of m4/autoconf macros to check for the presence of the linux/fs.h versions, and wire up the private versions if linux/fs.h doesn't provide one. We also have to make sure that anything added to the VFS version gets added to the xfsprogs version. Note: We did this all this work a short time ago so that ext4 and XFS could present the same FSGETXATTR ioctl to user programs (major benefit) but it was kind of a pain to get right. I don't see an upside to ceding control of this part of the disk format to the VFS. --D > */ > #define XFS_DIR3_FT_UNKNOWN 0 > #define XFS_DIR3_FT_REG_FILE 1 > diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2.c > index c58d72c..645a542 100644 > --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2.c > +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2.c > @@ -36,23 +36,6 @@ > struct xfs_name xfs_name_dotdot = { (unsigned char *)"..", 2, XFS_DIR3_FT_DIR }; > > /* > - * @mode, if set, indicates that the type field needs to be set up. > - * This uses the transformation from file mode to DT_* as defined in linux/fs.h > - * for file type specification.
