Now, in product, more and more features based on file encryption were introduced, their demand of xattr space is increasing, however, inline xattr has fixed-size of 200 bytes, once inline xattr space is full, new increased xattr data would occupy additional xattr block which may bring us more space usage and performance regression during persisting. In order to resolve above issue, it's better to expand inline xattr size flexibly according to user's requirement. So this patch introduces new filesystem feature 'flexible inline xattr', and new mount option 'inline_xattr_size=%u', once mkfs enables the feature, we can use the option to make f2fs supporting flexible inline xattr size. To support this feature, we add extra attribute i_inline_xattr_size in inode layout, indicating that how many space inline xattr borrows from block address mapping space in inode layout, by this, we can easily locate and store flexible-sized inline xattr data in inode. Inode disk layout: +----------------------+ | .i_mode | | ... | | .i_ext | +----------------------+ | .i_extra_isize | | .i_inline_xattr_size |-----------+ | ... | | +----------------------+ | | .i_addr | | | - block address or | | | - inline data | | +----------------------+<---+ v | inline xattr | +---inline xattr range +----------------------+<---+ | .i_nid | +----------------------+ | node_footer | | (nid, ino, offset) | +----------------------+ Note that, we have to cnosider backward compatibility which reserved inline_data space, 200 bytes, all the time, reported by Sheng Yong. Previous inline data or directory always reserved 200 bytes in inode layout, even if inline_xattr is disabled. In order to keep inline_dentry's structure for backward compatibility, we get the space back only from inline_data.
