From 53d6660836f233df66490707365ab177e5fb2bb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. R. Okajima" Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:23:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] loop: add ioctl to resize a loop device Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly. One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount. Test app: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define _GNU_SOURCE #include char *me; void usage(FILE *f) { fprintf(f, "%s [options] loop_dev [backend_file]\n" "-s, --set new_size_in_bytes\n" "\twhen backend_file is given, " "it will be expanded too while keeping the original contents\n", me); } struct option opts[] = { { .name = "set", .has_arg = 1, .flag = NULL, .val = 's' }, { .name = "help", .has_arg = 0, .flag = NULL, .val = 'h' } }; void err_size(char *name, __u64 old) { fprintf(stderr, "size must be larger than current %s (%llu)\n", name, old); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd, err, c, i, bfd; ssize_t ssz; size_t sz; __u64 old, new, append; char a[BUFSIZ]; struct stat st; FILE *out; char *backend, *dev; err = EINVAL; out = stderr; me = argv[0]; new = 0; while ((c = getopt_long(argc, argv, "s:h", opts, &i)) != -1) { switch (c) { case 's': errno = 0; new = strtoull(optarg, NULL, 0); if (errno) { err = errno; perror(argv[i]); goto out; } break; case 'h': err = 0; out = stdout; goto err; default: perror(argv[i]); goto err; } } if (optind < argc) dev = argv[optind++]; else goto err; fd = open(dev, O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { err = errno; perror(dev); goto out; } err = ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, &old); if (err) { err = errno; perror("ioctl BLKGETSIZE64"); goto out; } if (!new) { printf("%llu\n", old); goto out; } if (new < old) { err = EINVAL; err_size(dev, old); goto out; } if (optind < argc) { backend = argv[optind++]; bfd = open(backend, O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); if (bfd < 0) { err = errno; perror(backend); goto out; } err = fstat(bfd, &st); if (err) { err = errno; perror(backend); goto out; } if (new < st.st_size) { err = EINVAL; err_size(backend, st.st_size); goto out; } append = new - st.st_size; sz = sizeof(a); while (append > 0) { if (append < sz) sz = append; ssz = write(bfd, a, sz); if (ssz != sz) { err = errno; perror(backend); goto out; } append -= sz; } err = fsync(bfd); if (err) { err = errno; perror(backend); goto out; } } err = ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); if (err) { err = errno; perror("ioctl LOOP_SET_CAPACITY"); } goto out; err: usage(out); out: return err; } Signed-off-by: J.
