Previously clear_cache mount option would simply disable free-space-tree feature temporarily then re-enable it to rebuild the whole free space tree. But this is problematic for block-group-tree feature, as we have an artificial dependency on free-space-tree feature. If we go the existing method, after clearing the free-space-tree feature, we would flip the filesystem to read-only mode, as we detect a super block write with block-group-tree but no free-space-tree feature. This patch would change the behavior by properly rebuilding the free space tree without disabling this feature, thus allowing clear_cache mount option to work with block group tree. Now we can mount a filesystem with block-group-tree feature and clear_mount option: $ mkfs.btrfs -O block-group-tree /dev/test/scratch1 -f $ sudo mount /dev/test/scratch1 /mnt/btrfs -o clear_cache $ sudo dmesg -t | head -n 5 BTRFS info (device dm-1): force clearing of disk cache BTRFS info (device dm-1): using free space tree BTRFS info (device dm-1): auto enabling async discard BTRFS info (device dm-1): rebuilding free space tree BTRFS info (device dm-1): checking UUID tree CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.1+ Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
