Dan Williams 69eb5fa10e xfs: prepare xfs_break_layouts() for another layout type
When xfs is operating as the back-end of a pNFS block server, it
prevents collisions between local and remote operations by requiring a
lease to be held for remotely accessed blocks. Local filesystem
operations break those leases before writing or mutating the extent map
of the file.

A similar mechanism is needed to prevent operations on pinned dax
mappings, like device-DMA, from colliding with extent unmap operations.

BREAK_WRITE and BREAK_UNMAP are introduced as two distinct levels of
layout breaking.

Layouts are broken in the BREAK_WRITE case to ensure that layout-holders
do not collide with local writes. Additionally, layouts are broken in
the BREAK_UNMAP case to make sure the layout-holder has a consistent
view of the file's extent map. While BREAK_WRITE breaks can be satisfied
be recalling FL_LAYOUT leases, BREAK_UNMAP breaks additionally require
waiting for busy dax-pages to go idle while holding XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL.

After this refactoring xfs_break_layouts() becomes the entry point for
coordinating both types of breaks. Finally, xfs_break_leased_layouts()
becomes just the BREAK_WRITE handler.

Note that the unlock tracking is needed in a follow on change. That will
coordinate retrying either break handler until both successfully test
for a lease break while maintaining the lock state.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
