    f2fs: reuse inode_entry_slab in gc procedure for using slab more effectively · 06292073
    Chao Yu authored
    There are two slab cache inode_entry_slab and winode_slab using the same
    structure as below:
    
    struct dir_inode_entry {
    	struct list_head list;	/* list head */
    	struct inode *inode;	/* vfs inode pointer */
    };
    
    struct inode_entry {
    	struct list_head list;
    	struct inode *inode;
    };
    
    It's a little waste that the two cache can not share their memory space for each
    other.
    So in this patch we remove one redundant winode_slab slab cache, then use more
    universal name struct inode_entry as remaining data structure name of slab,
    finally we reuse the inode_entry_slab to store dirty dir item and gc item for
    more effective.
