Hi all,
This series delivers a new feature -- metadata inode directories. This is a separate directory tree (rooted in the superblock) that contains only inodes that contain filesystem metadata. Different metadata objects can be looked up with regular paths.
Start by creating xfs_imeta{dir,file}* functions to mediate access to the metadata directory tree. By the end of this mega series, all existing metadata inodes (rt+quota) will use this directory tree instead of the superblock.
Next, define the metadir on-disk format, which consists of marking inodes with a new iflag that says they're metadata. This prevents bulkstat and friends from ever getting their hands on fs metadata files.
If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling from my git trees, which are linked below.
This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
