Currently we define aliases for the buffer flags in various
namespaces, which only adds confusion. Remove all but the XBF_
flags to clean this up a bit.
Note that we still abuse XFS_B_ASYNC/XBF_ASYNC for some non-buffer
uses, but I'll clean that up later.

The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation
of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking
access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the
locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an
array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag
and index them using a tree structure.
The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but
the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence
indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works
well with this sort of index. This change also removes another
large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS.
The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new
AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to
exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only
needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will
remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as
it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock
from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short.
To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be
reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while
they are still in use. This will be done in subsequent patch.

Remove our own STATIC_INLINE macro. For small function inside
implementation files just use STATIC and let gcc inline it, and for
those in headers do the normal static inline - they are all small
enough to be inlined for debug builds, too.

Commit bd169565993b39b9b4b102cdac8b13e0a259ce2f seems
to have a slight regression where this code path:
if (!--searchdistance) {
/*
* Not in range - save last search
* location and allocate a new inode
*/
...
goto newino;
}
doesn't free the temporary cursor (tcur) that got dup'd in
this function.
This leaks an item in the xfs_btree_cur zone, and it's caught
on module unload:
===========================================================
BUG xfs_btree_cur: Objects remaining on kmem_cache_close()
-----------------------------------------------------------
It seems like maybe a single free at the end of the function might
be cleaner, but for now put a del_cursor right in this code block
similar to the handling in the rest of the function.

Currenly we have a xfs_inobt_lookup* variant for each comparism direction,
and all these get all three fields of the inobt records passed, while the
common case is just looking for the inode number and we have only marginally
more callers than xfs_inobt_lookup* variants.
So opencode a direct call to xfs_btree_lookup for the single case where we
need all fields, and replace xfs_inobt_lookup* with a xfs_inobt_looku that
just takes the inode number and the direction for all other callers.

Most uses of struct xfs_imap are to map and inode to a buffer. To avoid
copying around the inode location information we should just embedd a
strcut xfs_imap into the xfs_inode. To make sure it doesn't bloat an
inode the im_len is changed to a ushort, which is fine as that's what
the users exepect anyway.

Now that we have a separate xfs_icdinode_t for the in-core inode which
gets logged there is no need anymore for the xfs_dinode vs xfs_dinode_core
split - the fact that part of the structure gets logged through the inode
log item and a small part not can better be described in a comment.
All sizeof operations on the dinode_core either really wanted the
icdinode and are switched to that one, or had already added the size
of the agi unlinked list pointer. Later both will be replaced with
helpers once we get the larger CRC-enabled dinode.
Removing the data and attribute fork unions also has the advantage that
xfs_dinode.h doesn't need to pull in every header under the sun.
While we're at it also add some more comments describing the dinode
structure.

xfs_btree_init_cursor contains close to little shared code for the
different btrees and will get even more non-common code in the future.
Split it up into one routine per btree type.
Because xfs_btree_dup_cursor needs to call the init routine for a generic
btree cursor add a new btree operation vector that contains a dup_cursor
method that initializes a new cursor based on an existing one.
The btree operations vector is based on an idea and code from Dave Chinner
and will grow more entries later during this series.

When we allocation new inode chunks, we initialise the generation numbers
to zero. This works fine until we delete a chunk and then reallocate it,
resulting in the same inode numbers but with a reset generation count.
This can result in inode/generation pairs of different inodes occurring
relatively close together.
Given that the inode/gen pair makes up the "unique" portion of an NFS
filehandle on XFS, this can result in file handles cached on clients being
seen on the wire from the server but refer to a different file. This
causes .... issues for NFS clients.
Hence we need a unique generation number initialisation for each inode to
prevent reuse of a small portion of the generation number space. Use a
random number to initialise the generation number so we don't need to keep
any new state on disk whilst making the new number difficult to guess from
previous allocations.

At ENOSPC, we can get a filesystem shutdown due to a cancelling a dirty
transaction in xfs_mkdir or xfs_create. This is due to the initial
allocation attempt not taking into account inode alignment and hence we
can prepare the AGF freelist for allocation when it's not actually
possible to do an allocation. This results in inode allocation returning
ENOSPC with a dirty transaction, and hence we shut down the filesystem.
Because the first allocation is an exact allocation attempt, we must tell
the allocator that the alignment does not affect the allocation attempt.
i.e. we will accept any extent alignment as long as the extent starts at
the block we want. Unfortunately, this means that if the longest free
extent is less than the length + alignment necessary for fallback
allocation attempts but is long enough to attempt a non-aligned
allocation, we will modify the free list.
If we then have the exact allocation fail, all other allocation attempts
will also fail due to the alignment constraint being taken into account.
Hence the initial attempt needs to set the "alignment slop" field so that
alignment, while not required, must be taken into account when determining
if there is enough space left in the AG to do the allocation.
That means if the exact allocation fails, we will not dirty the freelist
if there is not enough space available fo a subsequent allocation to
succeed. Hence we get an ENOSPC error back to userspace without shutting
down the filesystem.

the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".
This regression was introduced in 970451.
With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:
int ikeep = 0;
args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;
args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;
if (!options)
goto done;
It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.
If options are specified, then
if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)
args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;
is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.
The solution is to invert the logic.

Biggest bit is duplicating the dinode structure so we have one annotated for
native endianess and one for disk endianess. The other significant change
is that xfs_xlate_dinode_core is split into one helper per direction to
allow for proper annotations, everything else is trivial.
As a sidenode splitting out the incore dinode means we can move it into
xfs_inode.h in a later patch and severely improving on the include hell in
xfs.

When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
free block counts.
When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
buffer becomes a bottleneck.
The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
buffer, the slower things go.
The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
sync period or just before unmount.
This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
recovery has been performed.
It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
not change under normal operation.
One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which
increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from
occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition.
Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.
Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.
