    nilfs2: fix lockdep warnings in page operations for btree nodes · e897be17
    Ryusuke Konishi authored
    Patch series "nilfs2 lockdep warning fixes".
    
    The first two are to resolve the lockdep warning issue, and the last one
    is the accompanying cleanup and low priority.
    
    Based on your comment, this series solves the issue by separating inode
    object as needed.  Since I was worried about the impact of the object
    composition changes, I tested the series carefully not to cause
    regressions especially for delicate functions such like disk space
    reclamation and snapshots.
    
    This patch (of 3):
    
    If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled, nilfs2 hits lockdep warnings at
    inode_to_wb() during page/folio operations for btree nodes:

    This is because nilfs2 uses two page caches for each inode and
    inode->i_mapping never points to one of them, the btree node cache.
    
    This causes inode_to_wb(inode) to refer to a different page cache than
    the caller page/folio operations such like __folio_start_writeback(),
    __folio_end_writeback(), or __folio_mark_dirty() acquired the lock.
    
    This patch resolves the issue by allocating and using an additional
    inode to hold the page cache of btree nodes.  The inode is attached
    one-to-one to the traditional nilfs2 inode if it requires a block
    mapping with b-tree.  This setup change is in memory only and does not
    affect the disk format.
