+ * How soon to reuse old inode numbers?  LogFS doesn't store deleted inodes
+ * on the medium.  It therefore also lacks a method to store the previous
+ * generation number for deleted inodes.  Instead a single generation number
+ * is stored which will be used for new inodes.  Being just a 32bit counter,
+ * this can obvious wrap relatively quickly.  So we only reuse inodes if we
+ * know that a fair number of inodes can be created before we have to increment
+ * the generation again - effectively adding some bits to the counter.
+ * But being too aggressive here means we keep a very large and very sparse
+ * inode file, wasting space on indirect blocks.
+ * So what is a good value?  Beats me.  64k seems moderately bad on both
+ * fronts, so let's use that for now...
+ *
+ * NFS sucks, as everyone already knows.

+/*
+ * Logfs' requirement to read inodes for garbage collection makes life a bit
+ * harder.  GC may have to read inodes that are in I_FREEING state, when they
+ * are being written out - and waiting for GC to make progress, naturally.
+ *
+ * So we cannot just call iget() or some variant of it, but first have to check
+ * wether the inode in question might be in I_FREEING state.  Therefore we
+ * maintain our own per-sb list of "almost deleted" inodes and check against
+ * that list first.  Normally this should be at most 1-2 entries long.
+ *
+ * Also, inodes have logfs-specific reference counting on top of what the vfs
+ * does.  When .destroy_inode is called, normally the reference count will drop
+ * to zero and the inode gets deleted.  But if GC accessed the inode, its
+ * refcount will remain nonzero and final deletion will have to wait.
+ *
+ * As a result we have two sets of functions to get/put inodes:
+ * logfs_safe_iget/logfs_safe_iput	- safe to call from GC context
+ * logfs_iget/iput			- normal version

+ * In logfs inodes are written to an inode file.  The inode file, like any
+ * other file, is managed with a inode.  The inode file's inode, aka master
+ * inode, requires special handling in several respects.  First, it cannot be
+ * written to the inode file, so it is stored in the journal instead.
+ *
+ * Secondly, this inode cannot be written back and destroyed before all other
+ * inodes have been written.  The ordering is important.  Linux' VFS is happily
+ * unaware of the ordering constraint and would ordinarily destroy the master
+ * inode at umount time while other inodes are still in use and dirty.  Not
+ * good.
+ *
+ * So logfs makes sure the master inode is not written until all other inodes
+ * have been destroyed.  Sadly, this method has another side-effect.  The VFS
+ * will notice one remaining inode and print a frightening warning message.
+ * Worse, it is impossible to judge whether such a warning was caused by the
+ * master inode or any other inodes have leaked as well.
+ *
+ * Our attempt of solving this is with logfs_new_meta_inode() below.  Its
+ * purpose is to create a new inode that will not trigger the warning if such
+ * an inode is still in use.  An ugly hack, no doubt.  Suggections for
+ * improvement are welcome.
