The inode scanner tries to reduce contention on the AGI header buffer lock by grabbing references to consecutive allocated inodes. Batching stops as soon as we encounter an unallocated inode. This is unfortunate because in the worst case performance collapses to the old "one at a time" behavior if every other inode is free. This is correct behavior, but we could do better. Unallocated inodes by definition have nothing to scan, which means the iscan can ignore them as long as someone ensures that the scan data will reflect another thread allocating the inode and adding interesting metadata to that inode. That mechanism is, of course, the live update hooks. Therefore, extend the batching mechanism to track unallocated inodes adjacent to the scan cursor. The _want_live_update predicate can tell the caller's live update hook to incorporate all live updates to what the scanner thinks is an unallocated inode if (after dropping the AGI) some other thread allocates one of those inodes and begins using it. Note that we cannot just copy the ir_free bitmap into the scan cursor because the batching stops if iget says the inode is in an intermediate state (e.g. on the inactivation list) and cannot be igrabbed.

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 Restructured Text 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.
