[$] XFS parent pointers
At the 2018 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory-Management Summit(LSFMM), Allison Henderson led a session to discuss an XFS feature she has beenworking on: parent pointers. These wouldbe pointers stored in extended attributes (xattrs) that would allow various tools toreconstruct the path for a file from its inode.In XFS repair scenarios, that path will help with reconstruction as well asprovide users with better information about where the problems lie.
