> Snapshot feature is a very useful feature in certain scenarios. As far as I
> know, very few companies use this feature in the prod environment. The
> implementation is complex and it is difficult to support FGL with only minor
> modifications.
> So we can still use the Global lock to make snapshot-related operations
> thread-safe.
>
> Snapshot has some access modules, let's analyze them and find a way to still
> use GlobalLock.

> The above picture shows a simple case, we can access the iNode foo through
> the following paths:
> # /abc/foo
> # /abc/.snapshot/s1/foo
> If we want to delete the iNode foo, we need to lock /abc and
> /abc/.snapshot/s1 (DirectoryWithSnapshotFeature on iNode abc).
> If we want to change permission of the iNode foo, we need to lock /abc/foo
> and /abc/.snapshot/s1/foo (DirectoryWithSnapshotFeature on the iNode foo)
>
> For this case, we can directly acquire the global lock when resolving the
> IIPs for the input path if there is an iNode that has
> DirectorySnapshottableFeature.

> After /abc/foo is renamed to /xyz/bar, the access modules will be changed, as
> the above picture shows. We can access this bar through the following path:
> # /abc/.snapshot/s1/bar
> # /xyz/bar
> For /abc/.snapshot/s1/bar, since the iNode abc has
> DirectorySnapshottableFeature, so we can identify it and acquire the global
> lock.
> For /xyz/bar, we can identify it through Reference flag, since the iNode bar
> is a DstReference Node.
>
> So we can use DirectorySnapshottableFeature and Reference to determine if we
> need to acquire the Global lock when resolving the IIPs for input path.
