Currently XFs has three different fid types: struct fid, struct xfs_fid
and struct xfs_fid2 with hte latter two beeing identicaly and the first
one beeing the same size but an unstructured array with the same size.
This patch consolidates all this to alway uuse struct xfs_fid.
This patch is required for an upcoming patch series from me that revamps
the nfs exporting code and introduces a Linux-wide struct fid.

All flags are added to xfs_mount's m_flag instead. Note that the 32bit
inode flag was duplicated in both of them, but only cleared in the mount
when it was not nessecary due to the filesystem beeing small enough. Two
flags are still required here - one to indicate the mount option setting,
and one to indicate if it applies or not.

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).
This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.
This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.

When changing the file size by a truncate() call, we log the change in the
inode size. However, we do not flush any outstanding data that might not
have been written to disk, thereby violating the data/inode size update
order. This can leave files full of NULLs on crash.
Hence if we are truncating the file, flush any unwritten data that may lie
between the curret on disk inode size and the new inode size that is being
logged to ensure that ordering is preserved.

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).

A check for file_count is always a bad idea. Linux has the ->release
method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the
very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of a
reference to a file struct.
This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of simply
doing the page flushing from ->release.

If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend)
the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an
application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs
to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the
file size is never seen to change.

The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.
There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.
The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log
deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to
the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the
log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying
to push the inode it was currently unpinning.
To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a
valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on
the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are
completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will
never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an
inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux
inode to the xfs inode.

for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before
