[RFC 0/5] ext4: mark more ops fast-commit ineligible

From: Li Chen
Date: Thu Dec 11 2025 - 06:53:05 EST


ext4 fast commit only logs operations with replay support. This series
marks a few more operations as fast-commit ineligible and accounts
them via fc_info so behaviour under fast commit is easier to reason
about.

Testing was done in a QEMU guest on loopback ext4 filesystems created
with -O fast_commit[/,verity] by exercising each operation and checking
/proc/fs/ext4/*/fc_info for the corresponding ineligible reason and
ineligible commit counters. Detailed steps are in each commit's message.

Li Chen (5):
ext4: mark inode format migration fast-commit ineligible
ext4: mark fs-verity enable fast-commit ineligible
ext4: mark move extents fast-commit ineligible
ext4: mark group add fast-commit ineligible
ext4: mark group extend fast-commit ineligible
