    xfs: introduce inode log format object · f8d55aa0
    Dave Chinner authored
    We currently carry around and log an entire inode core in the
    struct xfs_inode. A lot of the information in the inode core is
    duplicated in the VFS inode, but we cannot remove this duplication
    of infomration because the inode core is logged directly in
    xfs_inode_item_format().
    
    Add a new function xfs_inode_item_format_core() that copies the
    inode core data into a struct xfs_icdinode that is pulled directly
    from the log vector buffer. This means we no longer directly
    copy the inode core, but copy the structures one member at a time.
    This will be slightly less efficient than copying, but will allow us
    to remove duplicate and unnecessary items from the struct xfs_inode.
    
    To enable us to do this, call the new structure a xfs_log_dinode,
    so that we know it's different to the physical xfs_dinode and the
    in-core xfs_icdinode.
