Christoph Hellwig bc02e8693d xfs: add CRC infrastructure
- add a mount feature bit for CRC enabled filesystems
 - add some helpers for generating and verifying the CRCs
 - add a copy_uuid helper

The checksumming helpers are loosely based on similar ones in sctp,
all other bits come from Dave Chinner.

Brian Foster 579b62faa5 xfs: add background scanning to clear eofblocks inodes
Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.

The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

Christoph Hellwig 0030807c66 xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing
Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:

 - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
   can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
   in the system.
 - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
   work items

At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.

Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem.  In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

Christoph Hellwig c59d87c460 xfs: remove subdirectories
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code.  Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
