Update the extent tree in case we have to reuse a busy extent, so that it
always is kept uptodate. This is done by replacing the busy list searches
with a new xfs_alloc_busy_reuse helper, which updates the busy extent tree
in case of a reuse. This allows us to allow reusing metadata extents
unconditionally, and thus avoid log forces especially for allocation btree
blocks.

Failure to commit a transaction into the CIL is not handled
correctly. This currently can only happen when racing with a
shutdown and requires an explicit shutdown check, so it rare and can
be avoided. Remove the shutdown check and make the CIL commit a void
function to indicate it will always succeed, thereby removing the
incorrectly handled failure case.

With delayed logging, we can get inode allocation buffers in the
same transaction inode unlink buffers. We don't currently mark inode
allocation buffers in the log, so inode unlink buffers take
precedence over allocation buffers.
The result is that when they are combined into the same checkpoint,
only the unlinked inode chain fields are replayed, resulting in
uninitialised inode buffers being detected when the next inode
modification is replayed.
To fix this, we need to ensure that we do not set the inode buffer
flag in the buffer log item format flags if the inode allocation has
not already hit the log. To avoid requiring a change to log
recovery, we really need to make this a modification that relies
only on in-memory sate.
We can do this by checking during buffer log formatting (while the
CIL cannot be flushed) if we are still in the same sequence when we
commit the unlink transaction as the inode allocation transaction.
If we are, then we do not add the inode buffer flag to the buffer
log format item flags. This means the entire buffer will be
replayed, not just the unlinked fields. We do this while
CIL flusheѕ are locked out to ensure that we don't race with the
sequence numbers changing and hence fail to put the inode buffer
flag in the buffer format flags when we really need to.

The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as
such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount
option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that
should not be used in production yet.
We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not
yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List
(CIL) is for.
The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log
vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit
Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable
this tracking.
To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed
logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context
for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction
completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space
log required/used by the context checkpoint.
To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item,
rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new
log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to
allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the
second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed
to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL.
Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just
a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly
more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point
back at the memory buffer we just copied into.
This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not
already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be
pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it
again.
The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space
the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the
transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex
becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the
checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update
all the tickets, counters, etc correctly.
Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach
the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live
until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in
time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time.
Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space
used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the
space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be
triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event.
Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the
transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it
to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a
commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket
and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during
Io completion to complete the checkpoint.
We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight
checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure
that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct
sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The
second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only
flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with.
To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the
checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for
the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides
the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

The ticket ID is needed to uniquely identify transactions when doing busy
extent matching. Delayed logging changes the lifecycle of busy extents with
respect to the transaction structure lifecycle. Hence we can no longer use
the transaction structure as a means of determining the owner of the busy
extent as it may be freed and reused while the busy extent is still active.
This commit provides the infrastructure to access the xlog_tid_t held in the
ticket from a transaction handle. This avoids the need for callers to peek
into the transaction and log structures to find this out.

The current log IO vector structure is a flat array and not

individual log items, we need a method of chaining log IO vectors
together.
Introduce a new log vector type that can be used to wrap the
existing log IO vectors on use that internally to the log. This
means that the existing external interface (xfs_log_write) does not
change and hence no changes to the transaction commit code are

When an I/O error occurs during an intermediate commit on a rolling
transaction, xfs_trans_commit() will free the transaction structure
and the related ticket. However, the duplicate transaction that
gets used as the transaction continues still contains a pointer
to the ticket. Hence when the duplicate transaction is cancelled
and freed, we free the ticket a second time.
Add reference counting to the ticket so that we hold an extra
reference to the ticket over the transaction commit. We drop the
extra reference once we have checked that the transaction commit
did not return an error, thus avoiding a double free on commit
error.

xfs_log_force() is declared to return an error, but we almost never check
it. We don't need to check it in most cases; if there's a log I/O error
then we'll be shutting down the filesystem anyway and that means we'll
catch the error somewhere else.
However, on certain calls we should be returning an error - sync
transactions, fsync, sync writes, etc. so this isn't a pure black and
white distinction. Hence make xfs_log_force() a void function that issues
a warning to the syslog on error, and call _xfs_log_force() in all the
places where we actually care about the error status returned.
