Currently, ino entries for APPEND_INO, UPDATE_INO, TRANS_DIR_INO, and
XATTR_DIR_INO allocate a 'struct ino_entry' slab object and attach it to
both a list and a radix tree solely for existence checks via
f2fs_exist_written_data().
Since these ino types only track binary existence status, we can embed
the information directly into radix tree value entries as a bitmap:
- The Linux radix tree/XArray supports in-place value entries via
xa_mk_value() / xa_to_value(), which tag the least significant bit
to store an unallocated integer value of BITS_PER_XA_VALUE bits
(BITS_PER_LONG - 1) directly in the slot pointer.
- For each inode, (ino / BITS_PER_XA_VALUE) serves as the radix tree
slot index, and (ino % BITS_PER_XA_VALUE) is used as the bit offset
within the slot's bitmap.
For example, when tracking ino = 7:
- Before: Allocate a 'struct ino_entry' ({ .ino = 7 }), insert its
pointer into the radix tree at index = 7, and link it to im->ino_list.
- After: Compute slot_index = 7 / BITS_PER_XA_VALUE (index 0) and
bit_offset = 7 % BITS_PER_XA_VALUE (bit 7), then set bit 7 in the
value entry via xa_mk_value(bitmap) at index 0, without allocating
a slab object or linking to a list.
Additionally:
- In-place slot updates are performed via radix_tree_replace_slot(), and
slots are deleted with radix_tree_delete() once the bitmap is zeroed.
- Reorder the ino list enum so ORPHAN_INO and FLUSH_INO (which still
require struct ino_entry and list traversal) remain separated, while
bitmap-based trees are torn down using xa_destroy().
This eliminates 'struct ino_entry' slab allocations and linked-list
tracking for these ino types, significantly reducing memory consumption.
