Why do we need the IO lock here? xfs_free_eofblocks() does all the
necessary locking....

This check is now repeated in 3 places - xfs_inactive, xfs_release
and now here. I think it needs a helper.

If you move xfs_inode_clear_eofblocks_tag() inside
xfs_free_eofblocks(), there's no need for this extra return value.

This should be a rare event - it's probably worth adding a pair of
trace events here for the two cases so we can see if there is ever a
significant number of inodes being scanned for prealloc that can't
be cleared...

(e.g 'perf top -e xfs:xfs_i*' to count all the inode events)

There's nothing really quota specific about this scan. I'd leave
this functionality to a separate patch once all the core
infrastructure is in place.

Yes. This code is too tricky to duplicate for every use case, and
this doesn't have special case requirements like the reclaim code.

i.e. the xfs_inode_free_eofblocks() becomes the execute function
(and the quota checks move inside that eventually). Passing a tag of
"-1" would indicate a non-tag lookup, otherwise use a tag based
lookup. Given the extra fields that this version uses, passing a
void *args is probably necessary so that a structure can be passed
to the execute function along with the flags....

I'd suggest this conversion should be done in a patch prior to
introducing this scanner.

FWIW, this is going to conflict with my "get rid of xfs-sync.c patch
series, so we'll need to work out who rebases what at some point.

I don't think thats a good idea. From a normal users perspective,
the background trimming will occur irrespective of the quota groups
the inode is part of. Background trimming defines the default
behaviour, because that's what 99.99% of users will see active, not
quota/application specific events driven through ioctls.

IOWs, selecting inodes by quota type/id for pruning is a secondary
function of the execute implementation, not a primary concern of the
infrastructure.

Moving this check to the execute function will get rid of the indent
mess....

I'd just reuse SYNC_WAIT and SYNC_TRYLOCK which are already defined
and used by the sync and reclaim iterators.

I don't really see a point to adding this. Either we removed all the
EOF blocks or we didn't, and that means we should just clear the
tags directly in this function if it is appropriate.

Cheers,

Dave.
