+ * Verify the shard's name entry under the striped directory.
+ *
+ * Before all shards of the striped directory scanned, the LFSCK cannot
+ * know whether the master LMV EA is valid or not, and also cannot know
+ * how to repair an invalid shard exactly. For example, the stripe index
+ * stored in the shard's name does not match the stripe index stored in
+ * the slave LMV EA, then the LFSCK cannot know which one is correct.
+ * If the LFSCK just assumed one is correct, and fixed the other, then
+ * as the LFSCK processing, it may find that the former reparation is
+ * wrong and have to roll back. Unfortunately, if some applications saw
+ * the changes and made further modification based on such changes, then
+ * the roll back is almost impossible.
+ *
+ * To avoid above trouble, the LFSCK will scan the master object of the
+ * striped directory twice, that is NOT the same as normal two-stages
+ * scanning, the double scanning the striped directory will happen both
+ * during the first-stage scanning:
+ *
+ * 1) When the striped directory is opened for scanning, the LFSCK will
+ *    iterate each shard in turn, and records its slave LMV EA in the
+ *    lfsck_lmv::ll_lslr. In this step, if the 'shard' (may be fake
+ *    shard) name does not match the shard naming rule, for example, it
+ *    does not contains the shard's FID, or not contains index, then we
+ *    can remove the bad name entry directly. But if the name is valid,
+ *    but the shard has no slave LMV EA or the slave LMV EA does not
+ *    match its name, then we just record related information in the
+ *    lfsck_lmv::ll_lslr in RAM.
+ *
+ * 2) When all the known shards have been scanned, then the engine will
+ *    generate a dummy request (via lfsck_namespace_close_dir) to tell
+ *    the assistant thread that all the known shards have been scanned.
+ *    Since the assistant has got the global knowledge about the index
+ *    conflict, stripe count, hash type, and so on. Then the assistant
+ *    thread will scan the lfsck_lmv::ll_lslr, and for every shard in
+ *    the record, check and repair inconsistency.
+ *
+ * Generally, the stripe directory has only several shards, and there
+ * will NOT be a lof of striped directory. So double scanning striped
+ * directory will not much affect the LFSCK performance.
