Subject: mds: distribute dirfrags for ephemeral distributed directory
X-Git-Tag: v16.1.0~859^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb5ebd395f0831fd6d02d514ea1ec14f6bddbc9f;p=ceph.git

mds: distribute dirfrags for ephemeral distributed directory

Instead of distribute individual dir inodes inside the ephemeral
distributed dir. Distributing dirfrags can limit number of subtrees
created by the ephemeral dist pin.

This patch also unifies codes that handle export pin and ephemeral pin.

Fixes: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/46696
