Hi Ted,
The original design idea is that the size of inline data shouldn't be
less than EXT4_MIN_INLINE_DATA_SIZE (60 bytes). That means that the
inline data will occupy the whole i_block[] space.
If we create a new dir with inline data feature, the disk layout will
looks like below (ext4_try_create_inline_dir()):
i_block[0]: parent ino (4 bytes)
i_block+4: dir entry (ino 0, rec_len 56 bytes)
Regards,
- Zheng
