Hi all, This is v2 of the speculative preallocation inode tracking patchset. This functionality tracks inodes with post-EOF speculative preallocation for the purpose of background and on-demand trimming. Background scanning occurs on a longish interval (5 minutes by default) and in a best-effort mode (i.e., inodes are skipped due to lock contention or dirty cache). The intent is to clear up post-EOF blocks on inodes that might have allocations hanging around due to open-write-close sequences (NFS). On demand scanning is provided via a new ioctl and supports various parameters such as scan mode, filtering by quota id and minimum file size. A pending use case for on demand scanning is for accurate quota accounting via the gluster scale out filesystem (i.e., to free up preallocated space when near a usage limit). Brian v2: - Remove unnecessary inode flag clear helper. - Condense eofblocks set/clear tag functions. - Move clear tag call into xfs_free_eofblocks(). - Modify AG walk infrastructure to support tag-based walk and utilize this functionality for the eofblocks scan (as opposed to the previous code duplicated from reclaim scanning). - Improve ioctl functionality: new data structure fields/flags, validate quota is enabled. - Increase default background scanning interval to 5 minutes, add tunable.
