The idea is to reuse the code from resize since initializing a group (hence the inode table) is also done during resize. The code of the main function zero_itable_blocks() is extracted from setup_new_group_blocks(). --- fs/ext4/Makefile | 2 fs/ext4/balloc.c | 2 fs/ext4/ext4_itable_init.c | 190 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c | 3 fs/ext4/resize.c | 8 - fs/ext4/super.c | 6 + 6 files changed, 205 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6.28-rc4-itable_init/fs/ext4/ext4_itable_init.c =================================================================== --- /dev/null +++ linux-2.6.28-rc4-itable_init/fs/ext4/ext4_itable_init.c @@ -0,0 +1,190 @@ +/* + * ext4_itable_init: module to initialize the inode tables for + * filesystem formatted with the lazy_itable_init option. + */ +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include "ext4_jbd2.h" +#include "group.h" +#include "ext4.h" + +#define MAX_ITABLE_INIT_THREADS 1 +struct task_struct *init_itable_thread[MAX_ITABLE_INIT_THREADS]; +static int threads_nb; + +/* Functions from resize.c */ +struct buffer_head *bclean(handle_t *handle, struct super_block *sb, + ext4_fsblk_t blk); +int extend_or_restart_transaction(handle_t *handle, int thresh, + struct buffer_head *bh); +__le16 ext4_group_desc_csum(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, __u32 block_group, + struct ext4_group_desc *gdp); + +/* Zero out all of the inode table blocks */ +/* FIXME: refactor this function with resize.c::setup_new_group_blocks()?
