Additional blkdev/bdev changes now cause this call to be removed as well resulting in us having to use yet another API to do the same for el9_5. The changes are a little more subtle as now the bdev_mount() call passes a custom bd_holder_ops that we must match or else throw a WARN_ON, so we switch to using sbi as our holder arg instead. Make sure to bdev_fput and not fput, since we don't want to have our private data cleanup deferred, failing xfstests generic/604. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>
Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
