All online repair functions have the same structure: walk filesystem metadata structures gathering enough data to rebuild the structure, stage a new copy, and then commit the new copy. The gathering steps do not write anything to disk, so they are peppered with xchk_should_terminate calls to avoid softlockup warnings and to provide an opportunity to abort the repair (by killing xfs_scrub). However, it's not clear in the code base when is the last chance to abort cleanly without having to undo a bunch of structure. Therefore, add one more call to xchk_should_terminate (along with a comment) providing the sysadmin with the ability to abort before it's too late and to make it clear in the source code when it's no longer convenient or safe to abort a repair. As there are only four repair functions right now, this patch exists more to establish a precedent for subsequent additions than to deliver practical functionality. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
