2009-09-21Btrfs: change how subvolumes are organizedYan, Zheng
btrfs allows subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree. If we snapshot a subvolume that contains a link to other subvolume called subvolA, subvolA can be accessed through both the original subvolume and the snapshot. This is similar to creating hard link to directory, and has the very similar problems. The aim of this patch is enforcing there is only one access point to each subvolume. Only the first directory entry (the one added when the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point. The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward reference. If the corresponding root forward reference is missing, we know the entry is not the first one. This patch also adds snapshot/subvolume rename support, the code allows rename subvolume link across subvolumes.
