Dave Chinner b657fc82a3 xfs: Kill filestreams cache flush
The filestreams cache flush is not needed in the sync code as it
does not affect data writeback, and it is now not used by the growfs
code, either, so kill it.

Eric Sandeen d96f8f891f xfs: add more statics & drop some unused functions
A lot more functions could be made static, but they need
forward declarations; this does some easy ones, and also
found a few unused functions in the process.

Christoph Hellwig 9f8868ffb3 [XFS] streamline init/exit path
Currently the xfs module init/exit code is a mess. It's farmed out over a
lot of function with very little error checking. This patch makes sure we
propagate all initialization failures properly and clean up after them.
Various runtime initializations are replaced with compile-time
initializations where possible to make this easier. The exit path is
similarly consolidated.

There's now split out function to create/destroy the kmem zones and
alloc/free the trace buffers. I've also changed the ktrace allocations to
KM_MAYFAIL and handled errors resulting from that.

And yes, we really should replace the XFS_*_TRACE ifdefs with a single
XFS_TRACE..

Denys Vlasenko f0e2d93c29 [XFS] Remove unused arg from kmem_free()
kmem_free() function takes (ptr, size) arguments but doesn't actually use
second one.

This patch removes size argument from all callsites.

David Chinner a8272ce0c1 [XFS] Fix up sparse warnings.
These are mostly locking annotations, marking things static, casts where
needed and declaring stuff in header files.

David Chinner 65de556756 [XFS] On-demand reaping of the MRU cache
Instead of running the mru cache reaper all the time based on a timeout,
we should only run it when the cache has active objects. This allows CPUs
to sleep when there is no activity rather than be woken repeatedly just to
check if there is anything to do.

David Chinner 2a82b8be8a [XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.

When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.

This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.

The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.

Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).

Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).
