       ioctl_xfs_bulkstat - query information for a batch of XFS inodes

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>

       int ioctl(int fd, XFS_IOC_BULKSTAT, struct xfs_bulkstat_req
       *arg);

DESCRIPTION         top

       Query stat information for a group of XFS inodes.  This ioctl
       uses struct xfs_bulkstat_req to set up a bulk transfer from the
       kernel:

           struct xfs_bulkstat_req {
                struct xfs_bulk_ireq    hdr;
                struct xfs_bulkstat     bulkstat[];
           };

       See below for the xfs_bulkstat structure definition.

           struct xfs_bulk_ireq {
                uint64_t                ino;
                uint32_t                flags;
                uint32_t                icount;
                uint32_t                ocount;
                uint32_t                agno;
                uint64_t                reserved[5];
           };

       hdr.ino should be set to the number of the first inode for which
       the caller wants information; or zero to start with the first
       inode in the filesystem; or a special value if
       XFS_BULK_IREQ_SPECIAL is set in the flags field.  Note that this
       is a different semantic than the lastip in the old FSBULKSTAT
       ioctl.  After the call, this value will be set to the number of
       the next inode for which information could supplied.  This sets
       up the next call for an iteration loop.

       If the XFS_BULK_IREQ_SPECIAL flag is set in the flags field, the
       ino field is interpreted according to the following special
       values:

           XFS_BULK_IREQ_SPECIAL_ROOT
                  Return stat information for the root directory inode.

       hdr.flags is a bit set of operational flags:

           XFS_BULK_IREQ_AGNO
                  If this is set, the call will only return results for
                  the allocation group (AG) set in hdr.agno.  If hdr.ino
                  is set to zero, results will be returned starting with
                  the first inode in the AG.  This flag may not be set
                  at the same time as the XFS_BULK_IREQ_SPECIAL flag.

           XFS_BULK_IREQ_SPECIAL
                  If this is set, results will be returned for only the
                  special inode specified in the hdr.ino field.  This
                  flag may not be set at the same time as the
                  XFS_BULK_IREQ_AGNO flag.

           XFS_BULK_IREQ_NREXT64
                  If this is set, data fork extent count is returned via
                  bs_extents64 field and 0 is assigned to bs_extents.
                  Otherwise, data fork extent count is returned via
                  bs_extents field and bs_extents64 is assigned a value
                  of 0. In the second case, bs_extents is set to (2^31 -
                  1) if data fork extent count is larger than 2^31. This
                  flag may be set independently of whether other flags
                  have been set.

       hdr.icount is the maximum number of records to return.  This
       should be the size of the array that comes after the header.

       hdr.ocount will be set to the number of records actually
       returned.

       hdr.agno is the number of the allocation group (AG) for which we
       want results.  If the XFS_BULK_IREQ_AGNO flag is not set, this
       field is ignored.

       hdr.reserved must be set to zero.

       bulkstat is an array of struct xfs_bulkstat which is described
       below.  The array must have at least icount elements.

           struct xfs_bulkstat {
                uint64_t                bs_ino;
                uint64_t                bs_size;

                uint32_t                bs_nlink;
                uint32_t                bs_extents;
                uint32_t                bs_aextents;
                uint16_t                bs_version;
                uint16_t                bs_forkoff;

                uint16_t                bs_sick;
                uint16_t                bs_checked;
                uint16_t                bs_mode;
                uint16_t                bs_pad2;
                uint64_t                bs_extents64;

                uint64_t                bs_pad[6];

       file was accessed.

       bs_mtime_nsec is the nanoseconds component of the last time the

       set to XFS_BULKSTAT_VERSION_V5 by the kernel.

       bs_forkoff is the offset of the attribute fork in the inode
       record, in bytes.

       The fields bs_sick and bs_checked indicate the relative health of
       various allocation group metadata.  Please see the section XFS
       INODE METADATA HEALTH REPORTING for more information.

       bs_mode is the file type and mode.

       bs_pad[7] is zeroed.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

XFS INODE METADATA HEALTH REPORTING         top

       The online filesystem checking utility scans inode metadata and
       records what it finds in the kernel incore state.  The following
       scheme is used for userspace to read the incore health status of
       an inode:

       • If a given sick flag is set in bs_sick, then that piece of
         metadata has been observed to be damaged.  The same bit should
         be set in bs_checked.

       • If a given sick flag is set in bs_checked but is not set in
         bs_sick, then that piece of metadata has been checked and is
         not faulty.

       • If a given sick flag is not set in bs_checked, then no
         conclusion can be made.

       The following flags apply to these fields:

           XFS_BS_SICK_INODE
                  The inode's record itself.

           XFS_BS_SICK_BMBTD
                  File data extent mappings.

           XFS_BS_SICK_BMBTA
                  Extended attribute extent mappings.

           XFS_BS_SICK_BMBTC
                  Copy on Write staging extent mappings.

           XFS_BS_SICK_DIR
                  Directory information.

           XFS_BS_SICK_XATTR
                  Extended attribute data.

           XFS_BS_SICK_SYMLINK
                  Symbolic link target.

           XFS_BS_SICK_PARENT
                  Parent pointers.
