The extent swap operation currently resets bmbt block owners before the inode forks are swapped. The bmbt buffers are marked as ordered so they do not have to be physically logged in the transaction. This use of ordered buffers is not safe as bmbt buffers may have been previously physically logged. The bmbt owner change algorithm needs to be updated to physically log buffers that are already dirty when/if they are encountered. This means that an extent swap will eventually require multiple rolling transactions to handle large btrees. In addition, all inode related changes must be logged before the bmbt owner change scan begins and can roll the transaction for the first time to preserve fs consistency via log recovery. In preparation for such fixes to the bmbt owner change algorithm, refactor the bmbt scan out of the extent fork swap code to the last operation before the transaction is committed. Update xfs_swap_extent_forks() to only set the inode log flags when an owner change scan is necessary. Update xfs_swap_extents() to trigger the owner change based on the inode log flags. Note that since the owner change now occurs after the extent fork swap, the inode btrees must be fixed up with the inode number of the current inode (similar to log recovery).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
