xfs_icache.c rebase, and...

This reads rather strangely. I'd prefer that you don't use a "force"
variable because we're not really "forcing" anything. SYNC_WAIT is
telling us if we should block (wait) or not. i.e.

	/*
	 * if the mapping is dirty the operation can block and wait
	 * for some time. So unless we are waiting, skip it.
	 */
	if (!(flags & SYNC_WAIT) &&
	    (mapping_tagged(VFS_I(ip)->i_mapping, PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY)) 
		return 0;

makes more sense and is consistent with xfs_reclaim_inode() usage.

	/* don't revisit the inode if we not waiting */
	if (ret == EAGAIN && !(flags & SYNC_WAIT))
		return 0;
	return ret;

TWo functions very similarly named. Perhaps the latter would be
better named xfs_icache_free_eofblocks() to indicate it is an inode
cache operation, rather than an inode operation.

Then at some point in another patch set we can rename
xfs_reclaim_inodes* to xfs_icache_reclaim_* and
xfs_inode_ag_iterator* to xfs_icache_iterator* and so one so that
there is a clear naming difference between operations on the inode
cache and individual inodes...

Cheers,

Dave.
