Alter the definition of i_prev_unlinked slightly to make it more obvious when an inode with 0 link count is not part of the iunlink bucket lists rooted in the AGI. This distinction is necessary because it is not sufficient to check inode.i_nlink to decide if an inode is on the unlinked list. Updates to i_nlink can happen while holding only ILOCK_EXCL, but updates to an inode's position in the AGI unlinked list (which happen after the nlink update) requires both ILOCK_EXCL and the AGI buffer lock. The next few patches will make it possible to reload an entire unlinked bucket list when we're walking the inode table or performing handle operations and need more than the ability to iget the last inode in the chain. The upcoming directory repair code also needs to be able to make this distinction to decide if a zero link count directory should be moved to the orphanage or allowed to inactivate. An upcoming enhancement to the online AGI fsck code will need this distinction to check and rebuild the AGI unlinked buckets. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
