Um, I can't understand this(?), possibly because I can't get to RHBZ and
therefore have very little context to start from. :(

Are you saying that because the f46e commit removed the xfs_sync_sb
calls from unmountfs for !lazysb filesystems, we no longer log the
summary counters at unmount?  Which means that we no longer write the
incore percpu fdblocks count to disk at unmount after we've torn down
all the incore space reservations (when sb_fdblocks == m_fdblocks)?

So that means that for !lazysb fses, the only time we log the sb
counters is during transactions, and when we do log the counters we
actually log the wrong value, since the incore reservations should never
escape to disk?  Hence the fix below?

And then by extension, is the reason that nobody noticed before is that
we always used to log the correct value at unmount, so fses with clean
logs always have the correct value, and fses with dirty logs will
recompute fdblocks after log recovery by summing the AGF free blocks
counts?

(Or possibly nobody uses !lazysb filesystems anymore?)

I /think/ the code change looks ok, but as you might surmise from the
large quantity of questions, I'm not ready to RVB this yet.  The commit
message seems like a good place to answer those questions.

This strangely <cough> doesn't seem to be accessible to the public at
large, since <cough> someone at RedHat decided to block all Oracle IPs
<cough>.
