f2fs: enhance on-disk inode structure scalability
This patch add new flag F2FS_EXTRA_ATTR storing in inode.i_inline to indicate that on-disk structure of current inode is extended. In order to extend, we changed the inode structure a bit: Original one: struct f2fs_inode { ... struct f2fs_extent i_ext; __le32 i_addr[DEF_ADDRS_PER_INODE]; __le32 i_nid[DEF_NIDS_PER_INODE]; } Extended one: struct f2fs_inode { ... struct f2fs_extent i_ext; union { struct { __le16 i_extra_isize; __le16 i_padding; __le32 i_extra_end[0]; }; __le32 i_addr[DEF_ADDRS_PER_INODE]; }; __le32 i_nid[DEF_NIDS_PER_INODE]; } Once F2FS_EXTRA_ATTR is set, we will steal four bytes in the head of i_addr field for storing i_extra_isize and i_padding. with i_extra_isize, we can calculate actual size of reserved space in i_addr, available attribute fields included in total extra attribute fields for current inode can be described as below: +--------------------+ | .i_mode | | ... | | .i_ext | +--------------------+ | .i_extra_isize |-----+ | .i_padding | | | .i_prjid | | | .i_atime_extra | | | .i_ctime_extra | | | .i_mtime_extra |<----+ | .i_inode_cs |<----- store blkaddr/inline from here | .i_xattr_cs | | ... | +--------------------+ | | | block address | | | +--------------------+ | .i_nid | +--------------------+ | node_footer | | (nid, ino, offset) | +--------------------+ Hence, with this patch, we would enhance scalability of f2fs inode for storing more newly added attribute.
