Miklos, This series is a cleanup towards the lazy lowerdata lookup patches that I mentioned in an earlier email [1]. The lazy lowerdata patches are ready including tests, but I am waiting for your feedback on the data-only layers before I post the complete series. I am posting this cleanup series independently, because it mostly [*] stands on its own. Specifically, patch #1 is a bug fix for stable. Feel free to take just patch #1, or only part of the cleanup or wait for the posting of the complete work. Thanks, Amir. [*] The last patch, which reserves the space for lowerdata_redirect is not completely independent of the lazy lowerdata series, but I preferred to do it this way then to remove the lowerdata inode union field and add lowerdata_redirect later, because I think the change is easier to review this way.
