Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ext4: allow more than 32000 subdirectories

Hi,

This patch adds support to ext4 for allowing more than 65000 subdirectories. Currently the maximum number of subdirectories is capped at 32000.

If we exceed 65000 subdirectories in an htree directory it sets the inode link count to 1 and no longer counts subdirectories.  The directory link count is not actually used when determining if a directory is empty, as that only counts subdirectories and not regular files that might be in there. 

A EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag has been added and it is set if the subdir count for any directory crosses 65000.
