Current patch avoids inodes from different directories mixed together in
the inode table. Therefore the benchmakr emulate a situation that mixes
inodes of different sub-directories together. and record the time on
removing them all.
In the first part, reserving 16 inodes for each new created
From the benchmark and the experimental inores patch on ext4, it can be

One of the original idea of inode reservation is NOT modifying on-disk

link each
This patch only makes mke2fs support on-disk layout for inode
reservation. Just for experiment. e2fsck and other utils can not work

Introduced a perl based script to do the actual check of the headers.
Modified Makfile.headerinst so all files in a dir is checked with

The file check is used as marker when last run was executed.

A few patch protocol things:
- Please always prepare patches in `patch -p1' form
- Include a Signed-off-by: as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
section 11.
- Avoid including two copies of the patch in the one email. Inlined plain
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the
local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
OK, but could we please have a concise description of the impact
of these changes on kernel memory footprint? Increase or decrease?
And by approximately how much?
