This patchset improves the performance of log incompat feature bit
handling by making a few changes to how the filesystem handles them.
First, we now only clear the bits during a clean unmount to reduce calls
to the (expensive) upgrade function to once per bit per mount. Second,
we now only allow incompat feature upgrades for sysadmins or if the
sysadmin explicitly allows it via mount option. Currently the only log
incompat user is logged xattrs, which requires CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y, so
there should be no user visible impact to this change.
This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy!

On a 10TB filesystem where the free space in each AG is heavily
fragmented, I noticed some very high runtimes on a FITRIM call for the
entire filesystem. xfs_scrub likes to report progress information on
each phase of the scrub, which means that a strace for the entire
filesystem:
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x0, len=10995116277760, minlen=0}) = 0 <686.209839>
shows that scrub is uncommunicative for the entire duration. Reducing
the size of the FITRIM requests to a single AG at a time produces lower
times for each individual call, but even this isn't quite acceptable,
because the time between progress reports are still very high:
Strace for the first 4x 1TB AGs looks like (2):
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x0, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <68.352033>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x10000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <68.760323>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x20000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <67.235226>
ioctl(3, FITRIM, {start=0x30000000000, len=1099511627776, minlen=0}) = 0 <69.465744>
I then had the idea to limit the length parameter of each call to a
smallish amount (~11GB) so that we could report progress relatively
quickly, but much to my surprise, each FITRIM call still took ~68
seconds!
Unfortunately, the by-length fstrim implementation handles this poorly
because it walks the entire free space by length index (cntbt), which is
a very inefficient way to walk a subset of the blocks of an AG.
Therefore, create a second implementation that will walk the bnobt and
perform the trims in block number order. This implementation avoids the
worst problems of the original code, though it lacks the desirable
attribute of freeing the biggest chunks first.
On the other hand, this second implementation will be much easier to
constrain the system call latency, and makes it much easier to report
fstrim progress to anyone who's running xfs_scrub.

The VFS inc_nlink function does not explicitly check for integer
overflows in the i_nlink field. Instead, it checks the link count
against s_max_links in the vfs_{link,create,rename} functions. XFS
sets the maximum link count to 2.1 billion, so integer overflows should
not be a problem.
However. It's possible that online repair could find that a file has
more than four billion links, particularly if the link count got
corrupted while creating hardlinks to the file. The di_nlinkv2 field is
not large enough to store a value larger than 2^32, so we ought to
define a magic pin value of ~0U which means that the inode never gets
deleted. This will prevent a UAF error if the repair finds this
situation and users begin deleting links to the file.

I noticed that xfs/413 and xfs/375 occasionally failed while fuzzing
core.mode of an inode. The root cause of these problems is that the
field we fuzzed (core.mode or core.magic, typically) causes the entire
inode cluster buffer verification to fail, which affects several inodes
at once. The repair process tries to create either a /lost+found or a
temporary repair file, but regrettably it picks the same inode cluster
that we just corrupted, with the result that repair triggers the demise
of the filesystem.
Try avoid this by making the inode allocation path detect when the perag
health status indicates that someone has found bad inode cluster
buffers, and try to read the inode cluster buffer. If the cluster
buffer fails the verifiers, try another AG. This isn't foolproof and
can result in premature ENOSPC, but that might be better than shutting
down.

It's possible that the dentry cache can tell us the parent of a
directory. Therefore, when repairing directory dot dot entries, query
the dcache as a last resort before scanning the entire filesystem.
A reviewer asks:
"How high is the chance that we actually have a valid dcache entry for a
file in a corrupted directory?"
There's a decent chance of this actually working. Say you have a
1000-block directory foo, and block 980 gets corrupted. Let's further
suppose that block 0 has a correct entry for ".." and "bar". If someone
accesses /mnt/foo/bar, that will cause the dcache to create a dentry
from /mnt to /mnt/foo whose d_parent points back to /mnt. If you then
want to rebuild the directory, XFS can obtain the parent from the dcache
without needing to wander into parent pointers or scan the filesystem to
find /mnt's connection to foo.

Repair can lock out access to these user files by holding IOLOCK_EXCL on
