8	help
9	  XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
10	  on the SGI IRIX platform.  It is completely multi-threaded, can
11	  support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
12	  variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
13	  Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
14	  and scalability.
15
16	  Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
17	  for complete details.  This implementation is on-disk compatible
18	  with the IRIX version of XFS.
19
20	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
21	  module will be called xfs.  Be aware, however, that if the file
22	  system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
23	  to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.
24
25config XFS_SUPPORT_V4
26	bool "Support deprecated V4 (crc=0) format"
27	depends on XFS_FS
28	default y
29	help
30	  The V4 filesystem format lacks certain features that are supported
31	  by the V5 format, such as metadata checksumming, strengthened
32	  metadata verification, and the ability to store timestamps past the
33	  year 2038.  Because of this, the V4 format is deprecated.  All users
34	  should upgrade by backing up their files, reformatting, and restoring
35	  from the backup.
36
37	  Administrators and users can detect a V4 filesystem by running
38	  xfs_info against a filesystem mountpoint and checking for a string
39	  beginning with "crc=".  If the string "crc=0" is found, the
40	  filesystem is a V4 filesystem.  If no such string is found, please
41	  upgrade xfsprogs to the latest version and try again.
42
43	  This option will become default N in September 2025.  Support for the
44	  V4 format will be removed entirely in September 2030.  Distributors
45	  can say N here to withdraw support earlier.
46
47	  To continue supporting the old V4 format (crc=0), say Y.
48	  To close off an attack surface, say N.
49
50config XFS_SUPPORT_ASCII_CI
51	bool "Support deprecated case-insensitive ascii (ascii-ci=1) format"
52	depends on XFS_FS
53	default y
54	help
55	  The ASCII case insensitivity filesystem feature only works correctly
56	  on systems that have been coerced into using ISO 8859-1, and it does
57	  not work on extended attributes.  The kernel has no visibility into
58	  the locale settings in userspace, so it corrupts UTF-8 names.
59	  Enabling this feature makes XFS vulnerable to mixed case sensitivity
60	  attacks.  Because of this, the feature is deprecated.  All users
61	  should upgrade by backing up their files, reformatting, and restoring
62	  from the backup.
63
64	  Administrators and users can detect such a filesystem by running
65	  xfs_info against a filesystem mountpoint and checking for a string
66	  beginning with "ascii-ci=".  If the string "ascii-ci=1" is found, the
67	  filesystem is a case-insensitive filesystem.  If no such string is
68	  found, please upgrade xfsprogs to the latest version and try again.
69
70	  This option will become default N in September 2025.  Support for the
71	  feature will be removed entirely in September 2030.  Distributors
72	  can say N here to withdraw support earlier.
73
74	  To continue supporting case-insensitivity (ascii-ci=1), say Y.
75	  To close off an attack surface, say N.
76
77config XFS_QUOTA
78	bool "XFS Quota support"
79	depends on XFS_FS
80	select QUOTACTL
81	help
82	  If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
83	  a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS.  XFS considers quota
84	  information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
85	  higher level guarantee of consistency.  The on-disk data format for
86	  quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
87	  filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
88	  for conversion.
89
90	  If unsure, say N.  More comprehensive documentation can be found in
91	  README.quota in the xfsprogs package.  XFS quota can be used either
92	  with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
93	  they are completely independent subsystems.
94
95config XFS_POSIX_ACL
96	bool "XFS POSIX ACL support"
97	depends on XFS_FS
98	select FS_POSIX_ACL
99	help
100	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
101	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
102
103	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
104
105config XFS_RT
106	bool "XFS Realtime subvolume support"
107	depends on XFS_FS
108	help
109	  If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
110	  which contain a realtime subvolume.  The realtime subvolume is a
111	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was
112	  originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
113	  for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
114	  mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
115	  separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
116	  from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
117	  to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.
118
119	  See the xfs man page in section 5 for additional information.
120
121	  If unsure, say N.

143	select XFS_DRAIN_INTENTS
144	select XFS_MEMORY_BUFS
145	help
146	  If you say Y here you will be able to check metadata on a
147	  mounted XFS filesystem.  This feature is intended to reduce
148	  filesystem downtime by supplementing xfs_repair.  The key
149	  advantage here is to look for problems proactively so that
150	  they can be dealt with in a controlled manner.
151
152	  This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL.  Use with caution!
153
154	  See the xfs_scrub man page in section 8 for additional information.
155
156	  If unsure, say N.
157
158config XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB_STATS
159	bool "XFS online metadata check usage data collection"
160	default y
161	depends on XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB
162	select DEBUG_FS
163	help
164	  If you say Y here, the kernel will gather usage data about
165	  the online metadata check subsystem.  This includes the number
166	  of invocations, the outcomes, and the results of repairs, if any.
167	  This may slow down scrub slightly due to the use of high precision
168	  timers and the need to merge per-invocation information into the
169	  filesystem counters.
170
171	  Usage data are collected in /sys/kernel/debug/xfs/scrub.
172
173	  If unsure, say N.
174
175config XFS_ONLINE_REPAIR
176	bool "XFS online metadata repair support"
177	default n
178	depends on XFS_FS && XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB
179	select XFS_BTREE_IN_MEM
180	help
181	  If you say Y here you will be able to repair metadata on a
182	  mounted XFS filesystem.  This feature is intended to reduce
183	  filesystem downtime by fixing minor problems before they cause the
184	  filesystem to go down.  However, it requires that the filesystem be
185	  formatted with secondary metadata, such as reverse mappings and inode
186	  parent pointers.
187
188	  This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL.  Use with caution!
189
190	  See the xfs_scrub man page in section 8 for additional information.
191
192	  If unsure, say N.
193
194config XFS_WARN
195	bool "XFS Verbose Warnings"
196	depends on XFS_FS && !XFS_DEBUG
197	help
198	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many additional warnings.
199	  It converts ASSERT checks to WARN, so will log any out-of-bounds
200	  conditions that occur that would otherwise be missed. It is much
201	  lighter weight than XFS_DEBUG and does not modify algorithms and will
202	  not cause the kernel to panic on non-fatal errors.
203
204	  However, similar to XFS_DEBUG, it is only advisable to use this if you
205	  are debugging a particular problem.
206
207config XFS_DEBUG
208	bool "XFS Debugging support"
209	depends on XFS_FS
210	help
211	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
212	  including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
213	  and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
214
215	  Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
216	  not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
217
218	  Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
219
220config XFS_ASSERT_FATAL
221	bool "XFS fatal asserts"
222	default y
223	depends on XFS_FS && XFS_DEBUG
224	help
225	  Set the default DEBUG mode ASSERT failure behavior.
226
227	  Say Y here to cause DEBUG mode ASSERT failures to result in fatal
228	  errors that BUG() the kernel by default. If you say N, ASSERT failures
229	  result in warnings.
230
231	  This behavior can be modified at runtime via sysfs.
