A lot of changes in this set -- some highlights:
v5: reorganize patchset for easier review and better bisectability
rework how dir caps are acquired and tracked in requests
preemptively release cap refs when reconnecting session
restore inode number back to pool when fall back to sync create
rework unlink cap acquisition to be lighter weight
new "nowsync" mount opt, patterned after xfs "wsync" mount opt
Performance is on par with earlier sets.
I previously pulled the async unlink patch from ceph-client/testing, so
this set includes a revised version of that as well, and orders it
some other changes. I also broke that one up into several patches.
This should (hopefully) address Zheng's concerns about releasing the
caps when the session is lost. Those are preemptively released now
when the session is reconnected.
This adds a new mount option too. xfs has a "wsync" mount option which
makes it wait for namespaced directory operations to be journalled
before returning. This patchset adds "wsync" and "nowsync" options, so
it can now be enabled/disabled on a per-sb-basis.
The default for xfs is "nowsync". For ceph though, I'm leaving it as
"wsync" for now, so you need to mount with "nowsync" to enable async
dirops.
We may not actually need patch #6 here. Zheng had that delta in one
of the earlier patches, but I'm not sure it's really needed now. It
may make sense to just take it on its own merits though.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

ceph: add flag to designate that a request is asynchronous
ceph: track primary dentry link
ceph: add infrastructure for waiting for async create to complete
