From fa6ac8765c48a06dfed914e8c8c3a903f9d313a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Bo Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:10:23 +0000 Subject: Btrfs: fix cleaner thread not working with inode cache option Right now inode cache inode is treated as the same as space cache inode, ie. keep inode in memory till putting super. But this leads to an awkward situation. If we're going to delete a snapshot/subvolume, btrfs will not actually delete it and return free space, but will add it to dead roots list until the last inode on this snap/subvol being destroyed. Then we'll fetch deleted roots and cleanup them via cleaner thread. So here is the problem, if we enable inode cache option, each snap/subvol has a cached inode which is used to store inode allcation information. And this cache inode will be kept in memory, as the above said. So with inode cache, snap/subvol can only be added into dead roots list during freeing roots stage in umount, so that we can ONLY get space back after another remount(we cleanup dead roots on mount). But the real thing is we'll no more use the snap/subvol if we mark it deleted, so we can safely iput its cache inode when we delete snap/subvol. Another thing is that we need to change the rules of droping inode, we don't keep snap/subvol's cache inode in memory till end so that we can add snap/subvol into dead roots list in time.
