ioctl interface
===============
This section documents bcachefs-specific ioctls:
.. container:: description
| ``BCH_IOCTL_QUERY_UUID``
| Returs the UUID of the filesystem: used to find the sysfs directory
given a path to a mounted filesystem.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_FS_USAGE``
| Queries filesystem usage, returning global counters and a list of
counters by ``bch_replicas`` entry.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DEV_USAGE``
| Queries usage for a particular device, as bucket and sector counts
broken out by data type.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_READ_SUPER``
| Returns the filesystem superblock, and optionally the superblock
for a particular device given that devices index.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_ADD``
| Given a path to a device, adds it to a mounted and running
filesystem. The device must already have a bcachefs superblock;
options and parameters are read from the new devices superblock
and added to the member info section of the existing filesystems
superblock.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_REMOVE``
| Given a path to a device or a device index, attempts to remove it
from a mounted and running filesystem. This operation requires
walking the btree to remove all references to this device, and may
fail if data would become degraded or lost, unless appropriate
force flags are set.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_ONLINE``
| Given a path to a device that is a member of a running filesystem
(in degraded mode), brings it back online.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_OFFLINE``
| Given a path or device index of a device in a multi device
filesystem, attempts to close it without removing it, so that the
device may be re-added later and the contents will still be
available.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_SET_STATE``
| Given a path or device index of a device in a multi device
filesystem, attempts to set its state to one of read-write,
read-only, failed or spare. Takes flags to force if the filesystem
would become degraded.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_GET_IDX``
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_RESIZE``
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DISK_RESIZE_JOURNAL``
| ``BCH_IOCTL_DATA``
| Starts a data job, which walks all data and/or metadata in a
filesystem performing, performaing some operation on each btree
node and extent. Returns a file descriptor which can be read from
to get the current status of the job, and closing the file
descriptor (i.e. on process exit stops the data job.
| ``BCH_IOCTL_SUBVOLUME_CREATE``
| ``BCH_IOCTL_SUBVOLUME_DESTROY``
| ``BCHFS_IOC_REINHERIT_ATTRS``
