64-bit inodes counter uses extra fields to store hight part.
Let's incapsulate inode number reading and writing to extend
counter in next commits.

So this patch appears fine by itself, but I don't see in the 6/7 patch
where all of the interfaces in lib/ext2fs/ext2fs.h that use ext2fs_ino_t
are updated to add a new "version 2" interface that takes ext2fs_ino64_t
instead?

This would otherwise break ABI compatibility, and likely also apps
that are using the old interfaces with a 32-bit inode number.

It seems to me that you have fixed the places where there can be a
64-bit *count* of inodes, but you haven't fixed all of the places that
have a 64-bit inode *number* (i.e. passed as a parameter to a function).

I think one good option would be to introduce a new "ext2fs_ino32_t"
and *not* add "ext2fs_ino64_t".  Then change the ext2fs_ino_t to be
64-bit and make the old interfaces use ext2fs_ino32_t.  That way newly
compiled applications using libext2fs will use the new 64-bit interfaces
and the old ones would just need the old interfaces for compatibility.
I'm not sure what Ted thinks about that, however.

I believe there is also a "library ABI checker" tool somewhere in the
build system, but I don't know how to activate it.

Cheers, Andreas

Hello Theodore,

I need your suggestions. There are many e2fsprogs libs interfaces which use ext2_ino_t type for parameters. 
Obviously, we need save previous 32-bit versions of this interfaces for already compiled code and add new 64-bit inodes  somehow. 
I tried Andreas’ idea. Changed ext2_ino_t to 64bit and added ext2_ino32_t, but things become too complicated.
ext2_ino_t is quite popular type. Adding two versions of all this code is quite large patch. I am not sure you will be agree to accept it.

So I want to discuss some alternatives:

1) We could compile and link two lib versions: one with 32bit ext2_ino_t and another with 64bit.
Pass some macross that says “ext2_ino_t” is *bit now. User can link both libraries
(functions have same names, but different prototypes). I believe some extra cleanup is needed.
 There are some local variables and functions parameters which have type “bitness” hardcoded. 
But probably this less work then make both interface versions.

2) we could use LD Version Scripts
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/LD-Version-Scripts.html
This approach looks elegant, but still need more work to be done

Any other ideas? 

Thanks,

Artem Blagodarenko.

Using LD Version Scripts doesn't really help much in terms of the long
term maintainbilty of the source code, since you still have to
maintain two different function names in the library.

The only other solution is to bite the bullet and just accept that we
have to do a major version number bump in the shared library.  This
pushes the pain to the distributions, since they now have to rebuilt
all of the packages that depend on libext2fs.  There aren't _that_
many packages, but it does mean a certain of attention.


I think the other thing we really need to have a conversation about is
the cost/benefit ratio of 64-bit inode numbers in the first place.  It
is going to be a huge amount of work, and it's going to have a pretty
large impact on the ext4 ecosystem.  And I am worrying about about
what it does to the long term maintainability of the code ---
especially since so very few people will likely use the feature.

Against that, I'm not sure I understand what the benefits are.  It
seems to be mostly for Lustre, but I really don't understand why
Lustre can't more efficiently handle a large number of targets (file
systems).  Using a single file system per disk makes it much easier to
balancing disk utilization.  It also speeds up file system recovery
after a crash, since e2fsck can much more efficiently run in parallel
across each disk attached to a server.  It also matches up the failure
domain caused by corrupted file system metadata with the failure
domain associated with HDD failure.

It might be interesting to look at this slide deck [1] (starting at
slide 16, "Part 2: Colossus and Efficiency Storage") for an
examination of the benefits of being able to balance I/O operations
across all of the disks in a cluster.

[1] http://www.pdsw.org/pdsw-discs17/slides/PDSW-DISCS-Google-Keynote.pdf

So can we have a conversation about whether it *really* makes sense to
try to put a huge number of Lustre objects into a single large ext4
file system?  Because quite frankly, I don't really see it.  It
certainly goes against the design pardigms we've used at Google for
designing cluster file systems.

Regards,

Hm.. LD version script it not single way to point a symbol version.
LD script can be very simple, but version have set in source code.
like proposed in freebsd document (https://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/symver/freebsd_versioning.txt)
.symver macro.
But this way provide way to introduce any ABI changes and don’t worry about previously linked application.
Yes, we will be need to maintain a two functions with names like
$some_name$API_VER.
But overal API will much clear as user don’t look what is functions with different ID at end and 
don’t need to have study about replacement in new version.

It’s not a question about Lustre itself, but about overall storage size.
with 300T block device we have limited minimal file size with inode number count.
300T/4G - so just 75K per file is minimal chunk.
But 300T isn’t limit for now it’s just 40 10T disks in RAID6.
and 12T/14T disks coming son. 

Less size per RAID will increase overhead cost as more disks need to correct codes hold.

But using a single disk will reduce a overall system speed.
