[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: fix comment of f2fs_evict_inode

[Chao Yu]

evict() should be called once i_count is zero, rather than i_nlinke
is zero.

Yeah, I'd suggest taking some time to look at other
inconsistent comments, it makes other folks confused
and ask me with such-"strong" reason...

I don't think this comment is wrong. You may be able to add on top of this.

Actually I don't really care what this line means, but someone really
told me that .evict_inode() is called on inode is finally removed
because he saw this line.

In practice, I have no idea what the above line (especially the word i_nlink
== 0) mainly emphasizes, just from some documentation (not even refer some code):

Documentation/filesystems/porting.rst
326 **mandatory**
327 
328 ->clear_inode() and ->delete_inode() are gone; ->evict_inode() should
329 be used instead.  It gets called whenever the inode is evicted, whether it has
330 remaining links or not. 

And it seems it's the same comment exists in ext2/ext4. But yes, it's up
to you. However, it misleaded someone and I had to explain more about this.

Gao Xiang

It actually misleads the developer or user.

How do you think of:

"Called at the last iput() if i_count is zero, and will release all meta/data
blocks allocated in the inode if i_nlink is zero"

(sigh... side note: I just took some time to check the original meaning
 out of curiosity. AFAIK, the above word was added in Linux-2.1.45 [1]
 due to ext2_delete_inode behavior, which is called when i_nlink == 0,
 and .delete_inode was gone in 2010 (commit 72edc4d0873b merge ext2
 delete_inode and clear_inode, switch to ->evict_inode()), it may be
 helpful to understand the story so I write here for later folks reference.
 And it's also good to just kill it. )

(sigh... side note: I just took some time to check the original meaning
 out of curiosity. AFAIK, the above word was added in Linux-2.1.45 [1]
 due to ext2_delete_inode behavior, which is called when i_nlink == 0,
 and .delete_inode was gone in 2010 (commit 72edc4d0873b merge ext2
 delete_inode and clear_inode, switch to ->evict_inode()), it may be
 helpful to understand the story so I write here for later folks reference.
 And it's also good to just kill it. )

Xiang,

Thanks for providing tracked info, I guess it's due to historical reason, we
kept the wrong comments in f2fs, anyway I agree that it should be fixed in
ext*/f2fs codes, let me send patches to fix comment in ext* as well.

Thanks,
