[PATCH 5/5] f2fs: Fix for parent inode information during server cache eviction

[Namjae Jeon]

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Test Case:
[NFS Client]
ls -lR .

[NFS Server]
while [ 1 ]
do
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done

Error: "No such file or directory"

When cache is dropped at the server, it results in lookup failure at the
NFS client. Even though the file exists. Looking at the code to rebuild 
the inode in case of cache eviction. It tries to initiate a lookup operation
for ".." to get the parent information using the on-disk inode number.

But, in case of f2fs we do not need to perform a lookup based upon name.
As for f2fs layout - the f2fs inode already has reference to the parent 
inode number. So, like a normal inode build-up, parent inode can also be 
regenerated by reading parent inode number.

f2fs_inode_info represents the in-memory inode, while f2fs_inode represents
the on-disk. So, we introduce the parent inode number in the f2fs_inode_info also.
Whild doing do_read_inode() reading on-disk information, we populate the parent 
inode number also.This way whenever we reference f2fs_inode using F2FS_I over 
VFS inode. We are sure to get the parent inode in the inode.
