If you are sending a snapshot and specifying a parent snapshot we will walk the
trees and figure out where they differ and send the differences only. The way
we check for differences are if the leaves aren't the same and if the keys are
not the same within the leaves. So if neither leaf is the same (ie the leaf has
been cow'ed from the parent snapshot) we walk each item in the send root and
check it against the parent root. If the items match exactly then we don't do
anything. This doesn't quite work for inode refs, since they will just have the
name and the parent objectid. If you move the file from a directory and then
remove that directory and re-create a directory with the same inode number as
the old directory and then move that file back into that directory we will
assume that nothing changed and you will get errors when you try to receive.
In order to fix this we need to do extra checking to see if the inode ref really
is the same or not. So do this by passing down BTRFS_COMPARE_TREE_SAME if the
items match. Then if the key type is an inode ref we can do some extra
checking, otherwise we just keep processing. The extra checking is to look up
the generation of the directory in the parent volume and compare it to the
generation of the send volume. If they match then they are the same directory
and we are good to go. If they don't we have to add them to the changed refs
list.
This means we have to track the generation of the ref we're trying to lookup
when we iterate all the refs for a particular inode. So in the case of looking
for new refs we have to get the generation from the parent volume, and in the
case of looking for deleted refs we have to get the generation from the send
volume to compare with.
There was also the issue of using a ulist to keep track of the directories we
needed to check. Because we can get a deleted ref and a new ref for the same
inode number the ulist won't work since it indexes based on the value. So
instead just dup any directory ref we find and add it to a local list, and then
process that list as normal and do away with using a ulist for this altogether.
Before we would fail all of the tests in the far-progs that related to moving
directories (test group 32). With this patch we now pass these tests, and all
of the tests in the far-progs send testing suite. Thanks,
