Hi Chandan,

Please pull this branch with changes for xfs for 6.8-rc1.

As usual, I did a test-merge with the main upstream branch as of a few
minutes ago, and didn't see any conflicts.  Please let me know if you
encounter any problems.

xfs: force small EFIs for reaping btree extents (2023-12-06 18:45:19 -0800)

xfs: reserve disk space for online repairs [v28.1]

Online repair fixes metadata structures by writing a new copy out to
disk and atomically committing the new structure into the filesystem.
For this to work, we need to reserve all the space we're going to need
ahead of time so that the atomic commit transaction is as small as
possible.  We also require the reserved space to be freed if the system
goes down, or if we decide not to commit the repair, or if we reserve
too much space.

To keep the atomic commit transaction as small as possible, we would
like to allocate some space and simultaneously schedule automatic
reaping of the reserved space, even on log recovery.  EFIs are the
mechanism to get us there, but we need to use them in a novel manner.
Once we allocate the space, we want to hold on to the EFI (relogging as
necessary) until we can commit or cancel the repair.  EFIs for written
committed blocks need to go away, but unwritten or uncommitted blocks
can be freed like normal.

Earlier versions of this patchset directly manipulated the log items,
but Dave thought that to be a layering violation.  For v27, I've
modified the defer ops handling code to be capable of pausing a deferred
work item.  Log intent items are created as they always have been, but
paused items are pushed onto a side list when finishing deferred work
items, and pushed back onto the transaction after that.  Log intent done
item are not created for paused work.

The second part adds a "stale" flag to the EFI so that the repair
reservation code can dispose of an EFI the normal way, but without the
space actually being freed.

This has been lightly tested with fstests.  Enjoy!
