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.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
