mainlining shenanigans
5631c5e0eb
- Fix some btree block pingponging problems when swapping extents
- Redesign the reflink copy loop so that we only run one remapping
operation per transaction. This helps us avoid running out of block
reservation on highly deduped filesystems.
- Take the MMAPLOCK around filemap_map_pages.
- Make inode reclaim fully async so that we avoid stalling processes on
flushing inodes to disk.
- Reduce inode cluster buffer RMW cycles by attaching the buffer to
dirty inodes so we won't let go of the cluster buffer when we know
we're going to need it soon.
- Add some more checks to the realtime bitmap file scrubber.
- Don't trip false lockdep warnings in fs freeze.
- Remove various redundant lines of code.
- Remove unnecessary calls to xfs_perag_{get,put}.
- Preserve I_VERSION state across remounts.
- Fix an unmount hang due to AIL going to sleep with a non-empty delwri
buffer list.
- Fix an error in the inode allocation space reservation macro that
caused regressions in generic/531.
- Fix a potential livelock when dquot flush fails because the dquot
buffer is locked.
- Fix a miscalculation when reserving inode quota that could cause users
to exceed a hardlimit.
- Refactor struct xfs_dquot to use native types for incore fields
instead of abusing the ondisk struct for this purpose. This will
eventually enable proper y2038+ support, but for now it merely cleans
up the quota function declarations.
- Actually increment the quota softlimit warning counter so that soft
failures turn into hard(er) failures when they exceed the softlimit
warning counter limits set by the administrator.
- Split incore dquot state flags into their own field and namespace, to
avoid mixing them with quota type flags.
- Create a new quota type flags namespace so that we can make it obvious
when a quota function takes a quota type (user, group, project) as an
argument.
- Rename the ondisk dquot flags field to type, as that more accurately
represents what we store in it.
- Drop our bespoke memory allocation flags in favor of GFP_*.
- Rearrange the xattr functions so that we no longer mix metadata
updates and transaction management (e.g. rolling complex transactions)
in the same functions. This work will prepare us for atomic xattr
operations (itself a prerequisite for directory backrefs) in future
release cycles.
- Support FS_DAX_FL (aka FS_XFLAG_DAX) via GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS.

Merge tag 'xfs-5.9-merge-7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux
Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"There are quite a few changes in this release, the most notable of
which is that we've made inode flushing fully asynchronous, and we no
longer block memory reclaim on this.
Furthermore, we have fixed a long-standing bug in the quota code where
soft limit warnings and inode limits were never tracked properly.
Moving further down the line, the reflink control loops have been
redesigned to behave more efficiently; and numerous small bugs have
been fixed (see below). The xattr and quota code have been extensively
refactored in preparation for more new features coming down the line.
Finally, the behavior of DAX between ext4 and xfs has been stabilized,
which gets us a step closer to removing the experimental tag from that
feature.
We have a few new contributors this time around. Welcome, all!
I anticipate a second pull request next week for a few small bugfixes
that have been trickling in, but this is it for big changes.

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.
