The background cowblocks scan job takes care of scanning for inodes with
potentially lingering blocks in the cow fork and clearing them out. If
the background scanner reclaims the cow fork blocks, however, it doesn't
immediately clear the cowblocks tag from the inode. Instead, the inode
remains tagged until the background scanner comes around again,
discovers the inode cow fork has no blocks, clears the tag and fires the
trace_xfs_inode_free_cowblocks_invalid() tracepoint to indicate that the
inode may have been incorrectly tagged.
This is not a major functional problem as the tag is ultimately cleared.
Nonetheless, clear the tag when an inode cow fork is explicitly emptied
to avoid the extra round trip through the background scanner and
spurious "invalid" tracepoint.

Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too
old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting
writeback or directio operations in progress.
Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from
prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a
(much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been
useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs
experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios
low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits
us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless
we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim.

Create a per-inode extent size allocator hint for copy-on-write. This
hint is separate from the existing extent size hint so that CoW can
take advantage of the fragmentation-reducing properties of extent size
hints without disabling delalloc for regular writes.
The extent size hint that's fed to the allocator during a copy on
write operation is the greater of the cowextsize and regular extsize
hint.
During reflink, if we're sharing the entire source file to the entire
destination file and the destination file doesn't already have a
cowextsize hint, propagate the source file's cowextsize hint to the
destination file.
Furthermore, zero the bulkstat buffer prior to setting the fields
so that we don't copy kernel memory contents into userspace.

Due to the way the CoW algorithm in XFS works, there's an interval
during which blocks allocated to handle a CoW can be lost -- if the FS
goes down after the blocks are allocated but before the block
remapping takes place. This is exacerbated by the cowextsz hint --
allocated reservations can sit around for a while, waiting to get
used.
Since the refcount btree doesn't normally store records with refcount
of 1, we can use it to record these in-progress extents. In-progress
blocks cannot be shared because they're not user-visible, so there
shouldn't be any conflicts with other programs. This is a better
solution than holding EFIs during writeback because (a) EFIs can't be
relogged currently, (b) even if they could, EFIs are bound by
available log space, which puts an unnecessary upper bound on how much
CoW we can have in flight, and (c) we already have a mechanism to
track blocks.
At mount time, read the refcount records and free anything we find
with a refcount of 1 because those were in-progress when the FS went
down.

For O_DIRECT writes to shared blocks, we have to CoW them just like
we would with buffered writes. For writes that are not block-aligned,
just bounce them to the page cache.
For block-aligned writes, however, we can do better than that. Use
the same mechanisms that we employ for buffered CoW to set up a
delalloc reservation, allocate all the blocks at once, issue the
writes against the new blocks and use the same ioend functions to
remap the blocks after the write. This should be fairly performant.
Christoph discovered that xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range may stumble
over invalid entries in the extent array given that it drops the ilock
but still expects the index to be stable. Simple fixing it to a new
lookup for every iteration still isn't correct given that
xfs_bmapi_allocate will trigger a BUG_ON() if hitting a hole, and
there is nothing preventing a xfs_bunmapi_cow call removing extents
once we dropped the ilock either.
This patch duplicates the inner loop of xfs_bmapi_allocate into a
helper for xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range so that it can be done under
the same ilock critical section as our CoW fork delayed allocation.
The directio CoW warts will be revisited in a later patch.

lookups, so I merged those changes here to reduce churn.

Wire up iomap_begin to detect shared extents and create delayed allocation
extents in the CoW fork:
1) Check if we already have an extent in the COW fork for the area.
If so nothing to do, we can move along.
2) Look up block number for the current extent, and if there is none
it's not shared move along.
3) Unshare the current extent as far as we are going to write into it.
For this we avoid an additional COW fork lookup and use the
information we set aside in step 1) above.
4) Goto 1) unless we've covered the whole range.
Last but not least, this updates the xfs_reflink_reserve_cow_range calling
convention to pass a byte offset and length, as that is what both callers
expect anyway. This patch has been refactored considerably as part of the
