Similar to the xfssyncd, the per-filesystem xfsaild threads can be
converted to a global workqueue and run periodically by delayed
works. This makes sense for the AIL pushing because it uses
variable timeouts depending on the work that needs to be done.
By removing the xfsaild, we simplify the AIL pushing code and
remove the need to spread the code to implement the threading
and pushing across multiple files.

Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.
Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.
To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.
To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.
These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.
We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.
On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.
This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure
as they are no longer used.

All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is
no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be
managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency
effectively.
Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic
work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work
construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work
for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new
delayed work for the next running of the sync work.
For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure
that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to
complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the
current sequence number and wakeup that is used.
Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the
new work queue as CPU intensive.

When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer
to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the
inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived
from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for
delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does
not contain any delalloc extents.
As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger
than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
than is needed to hold all the real extents.
Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
maximum size an inode fork can grow to).

Data compression and data cow are controlled across the entire FS by mount
options right now. ioctls are needed to set this on a per file or per
directory basis. This has been proposed previously, but VFS developers
wanted us to use generic ioctls rather than btrfs-specific ones.
According to Chris's comment, there should be just one true compression
method(probably LZO) stored in the super. However, before this, we would
wait for that one method is stable enough to be adopted into the super.
So I list it as a long term goal, and just store it in ram today.
After applying this patch, we can use the generic "FS_IOC_SETFLAGS" ioctl to
control file and directory's datacow and compression attribute.
NOTE:
- The compression type is selected by such rules:
If we mount btrfs with compress options, ie, zlib/lzo, the type is it.
Otherwise, we'll use the default compress type (zlib today).
v1->v2:
- rebase to the latest btrfs.
v2->v3:
- fix a problem, i.e. when a file is set NOCOW via mount option, then this NOCOW
will be screwed by inheritance from parent directory.

Change the write path to encrypt the data only when the page is written to
disk in ecryptfs_writepage. Previously, ecryptfs encrypts the page in
ecryptfs_write_end which means that if there are multiple write requests to
the same page, ecryptfs ends up re-encrypting that page over and over again.
This patch minimizes the number of encryptions needed.

Now that grow_file() is not called in the ecryptfs_create() path, the
ECRYPTFS_NEW_FILE flag is no longer needed. It helped
ecryptfs_readpage() know not to decrypt zeroes that were read from the
lower file in the grow_file() path.

When creating a new eCryptfs file, the crypto metadata is written out
and then the lower file was being "grown" with 4 kB of encrypted zeroes.
I suspect that growing the encrypted file was to prevent an information
leak that the unencrypted file was empty. However, the unencrypted file
size is stored, in plaintext, in the metadata so growing the file is
unnecessary.
