Similar to readdir and fiemap vfs methods, we can't copy to user while holding cluster locks. The previous comment about it being safe no longer applies, and this could deadlock. Rewrite the loop to iterate and store entries in a page, then flush the page contents while not holding a clusterlock. 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
