Metadata directory trees make reasoning about the parent of a file more difficult. Traditionally, user files are children of sb_rootino, and metadata files are "children" of the superblock. Now, we add a third possibility -- some metadata files can be children of sb_metadirino, but the classic ones (rt free space data and quotas) are left alone. Let's add some helper functions (instead of open-coding the logic everywhere) to make scrub logic easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
