Do you mean this to be if (!extend && ...)?

Otherwise on a quick read through this seems mostly sane to me. Before
getting into the implementation details, my comments are mostly around
patch organization and general development approach. On the former, I
think this patch could be split up into multiple smaller patches to
separate refactoring, logic cleanups, and new functionality. E.g.,
factoring out the existing growfs code into a helper, tweaking existing
logic to prepare the shared grow/shrink path, adding the shrinkfs
functionality, could all be independent patches. We probably want to
pull the other patch you sent for the experimental warning into the same
series as well.

On development approach, I'm a little curious what folks think about
including these opportunistic shrink bits in the kernel and evolving
this into a more complete feature over time. Personally, I think that's
a reasonable approach since shrink has sort of been a feature that's
been stuck at the starting line due to being something that would be
nice to have for some folks but too complex/involved to fully implement,
all at once at least. Perhaps if we start making incremental and/or
opportunistic progress, we might find a happy medium where common/simple
use cases work well enough for users who want it, without having to
support arbitrary shrink sizes, moving the log, etc.

That said, this is still quite incomplete in that we can only reduce the
size of the tail AG, and if any of that space is in use, we don't
currently do anything to try and rectify that. Given that, I'd be a
little hesitant to expose this feature as is to production users. IMO,
the current kernel feature state could be mergeable but should probably
also be buried under XFS_DEBUG until things are more polished. To me,
the ideal level of completeness to expose something in production
kernels might be something that can 1. relocate used blocks out of the
target range and then possibly 2. figure out how to chop off entire AGs.
My thinking is that if we never get to that point for whatever
reason(s), at least DEBUG mode allows us the flexibility to drop the
thing entirely without breaking real users.

Anyways, just some high level thoughts on my part. I'm curious if others
have thoughts on that topic, particularly since this might be a decent
point to decide whether to put effort into polishing this up or to
continue with the RFC work and try to prove out more functionality...
