Possibly. I'm trying to keep things simple for now. So if we suppose the
near term use cases are the quotaoff intent, the scrub EFI intent and
perhaps the writeback stale data exposure zeroing intent, then I'd
probably just leave it as a max of those. We could also multiply that by
some constant factor for a simple form of batching, since the log
reservation is still likely to be on the smaller size.

If longer term we end up with relog support for a variety of item times
and the potential for a lot of concurrent relog activity, I'd be more
inclined to consider a specific calculation or to pick off the current
max transaction size or something and require batching implement some
form of reservation use tracking (i.e., consider an
xfs_trans_add_item_try(...) interface that performed a magical size
check and failed when the transaction is full).

As it is, I don't see enough use case right now to cross that complexity
threshold from the first model to the second right away..

The current scheme is that the relog transaction rolls one item at a
time. This is again, simplified for the purpose of a POC. For a
production iteration, I'd probably just turn that into a fixed count to
be able to batch 5 or 10 items at a time or something along those lines
(probably more depends on what the transaction size looks like and the
pressure put on by the scrub use case).
