IOCTL-XFS-RTGROUP-GEOMETRY(2) System Calls Manual IOCTL-XFS-RTGROUP-GEOMETRY(2)

ioctl_xfs_rtgroup_geometry - query XFS realtime group geometry information

#include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>

int ioctl(int fd, XFS_IOC_RTGROUP_GEOMETRY, struct xfs_rtgroup_geometry *arg);

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


struct xfs_rtgroup_geometry {
	__u32  rg_number;
	__u32  rg_length;
	__u32  rg_sick;
	__u32  rg_checked;
	__u32  rg_flags;
	__u32  rg_reserved[27];
};
The caller must set this field to the index of the realtime group that the caller wishes to learn about.
The length of the realtime group is returned in this field, in units of filesystem blocks. rg_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.
All reserved fields will be set to zero on return.

The fields rg_sick and rg_checked indicate the relative health of various realtime group metadata:

If a given sick flag is set in rg_sick, then that piece of metadata has been observed to be damaged. The same bit will be set in rg_checked.
If a given sick flag is set in rg_checked and is not set in rg_sick, then that piece of metadata has been checked and is not faulty.
If a given sick flag is not set in rg_checked, then no conclusion can be made.

The following flags apply to these fields:

Realtime group superblock.
Realtime bitmap for this group.
Realtime summary for this group.

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

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

Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
The specified realtime group number is not valid for this filesystem.
An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.

This API is specific to XFS filesystem on the Linux kernel.
