NAME

       ioctl_xfs_ag_geometry - query XFS allocation group geometry information

SYNOPSIS

       #include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>

       int ioctl(int fd, XFS_IOC_AG_GEOMETRY, struct xfs_ag_geometry *arg);

DESCRIPTION

       This XFS ioctl retrieves the geometry information for a given allocation group.  The geometry information
       is conveyed in a structure of the following form:

           struct xfs_ag_geometry {
                uint32_t  ag_number;
                uint32_t  ag_length;
                uint32_t  ag_freeblks;
                uint32_t  ag_icount;
                uint32_t  ag_ifree;
                uint32_t  ag_sick;
                uint32_t  ag_checked;
                uint32_t  ag_flags;
                uint64_t  ag_reserved[12];
           };

       ag_number
              The caller must set this field to the index of the allocation group  that  the  caller  wishes  to
              learn about.

       ag_length
              The length of the allocation group is returned in this field, in units of filesystem blocks.

       ag_freeblks
              The  number  of  free  blocks  in  the  allocation  group  is  returned in this field, in units of
              filesystem blocks.

       ag_icount
              The number of inode records allocated in this allocation group is returned in this field.

       ag_ifree
              The number of unused inode records (of the space allocated) in this allocation group  is  returned
              in this field.

       ag_flags
              The caller can set this field to change the operational behavior of the ioctl.  Currently no flags
              are defined, so this field must be zero.

       ag_reserved
              All reserved fields will be set to zero on return.

       The fields ag_sick and ag_checked indicate the relative health of various allocation group metadata:

       • If a given sick flag is set in ag_sick, then that piece of metadata has been observed  to  be  damaged.
         The same bit will be set in ag_checked.

       • If  a  given  sick flag is set in ag_checked and is not set in ag_sick, then that piece of metadata has
         been checked and is not faulty.

       • If a given sick flag is not set in ag_checked, then no conclusion can be made.

       The following flags apply to these fields:

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_SB
                  Allocation group superblock.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_AGF
                  Free space header.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_AGFL
                  Free space reserve list.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_AGI
                  Inode header.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_BNOBT or XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_CNTBT
                  Free space btrees.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_INOBT or XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_FINOBT
                  Inode btrees.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_RMAPBT
                  Reverse mapping btree.

           XFS_AG_GEOM_SICK_REFCNTBT
                  Reference count btree.

RETURN VALUE

       On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:

       EFSBADCRC
              Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.

       EFSCORRUPTED
              Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.

       EINVAL The specified allocation group number is not valid for this filesystem.

       EIO    An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
