The key offset of the last dir index item that was logged is stored in the inode's last_dir_index_offset field. However that field is not persisted in the inode item or elsewhere, so if the inode gets evicted and reloaded, it gets a value of (u64)-1, so that when we are logging dir index items we check if they were logged before, to avoid attempts to insert duplicated keys and fallback to a transaction commit. Improve on this by searching for the last dir index that was logged when we start logging a directory if the inode's last_dir_index_offset is not set (has a value of (u64)-1) and it was logged before. This avoids checking if each dir index item we find was already logged before, and simplifies the logging of dir index items (process_dir_items_leaf()). This will also be needed for an incoming change where we start logging delayed items directly, without flushing them first.

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.
