Hi Qu,
The current btrfs code in U-boot is using a creative way to read on-disk data. It's pretty simple, involving the least amount of code, but pretty different from btrfs-progs nor kernel, making it pretty hard to sync code between different projects.
do you think maybe btrfs-progs / kernel would be interested if I tried to convert their code to this "simpler to use" implementation of conversion functions?
I don't think so, the problem is kernel and btrfs-progs all need to modify extent buffer, which make the read time conversion become a burden in write path.
Thus only the following 5 patches need extra review attention:
- Patch 0017
- Patch 0018
- Patch 0022
- Patch 0023
- Patch 0024
Anyway, this patch series does not apply cleanly on u-boot/master. I tried with the first 3 patches and then gave up :( Sorry about this but I will review and test if you send a series that applies cleanly.
That's strange, the branch is originally based on an older master, as you can find in the github.
I guess there are some more btrfs related code change since then, I'll rebase them to latest master, and update the github repo then.
Thanks, Qu
Marek
