    xfs: dquot log reservations are too small
    
    During review of the separate project quota inode patches, it became
    obvious that the dquot log reservation calculation underestimated
    the number dquots that can be modified in a transaction. This has
    it's roots way back in the Irix quota implementation.
    
    That is, when quotas were first implemented in XFS, it only
    supported user and project quotas as Irix did not have group quotas.
    Hence the worst case operation involving dquot modification was
    calculated to involve 2 user dquots and 1 project dquot or 1 user
    dequot and 2 project dquots. i.e. 3 dquots. This was determined back
    in 1996, and has remained unchanged ever since.
    
    However, back in 2001, the Linux XFS port dropped all support for
    project quota and implmented group quotas over the top. This was
    effectively done with a search-and-replace of project with group,
    and as such the log reservation was not changed. However, with the
    advent of group quotas, chmod and rename now could modify more than
    3 dquots in a single transaction - both could modify 4 dquots. Hence
    this log reservation has been wrong for a long time.
    
    In 2005, project quota support was reintroduced into Linux, but it
    was implemented to be mutually exclusive to group quotas and so this
    didn't add any new changes to the dquot log reservation. Hence when
    project quotas were in use (rather than group quotas) the log
    reservation was again valid, just like in the Irix days.
    
    Now, with the addition of the separate project quota inode, group
    and project quotas are no longer mutually exclusive, and hence
    operations can now modify three dquots per inode where previously it
    was only two. The worst case here is the rename transaction, which
    can allocate/free space on two different directory inodes, and if
    they have different uid/gid/prid configurations and are world
    writeable, then rename can actually modify 6 different dquots now.
    
    Further, the dquot log reservation doesn't take into account the
    space used by the dquot log format structure that precedes the dquot
    that is logged, and hence further underestimates the worst case
    log space required by dquots during a transaction. This has been
    missing since the first commit in 1996.
    
    Hence the worst case log reservation needs to be increased from 3 to
    6, and it needs to take into account a log format header for each of
    those dquots.

    xfs: remove local fork format handling from xfs_bmapi_write()
    
    The conversion from local format to extent format requires
    interpretation of the data in the fork being converted, so it cannot
    be done in a generic way. It is up to the caller to convert the fork
    format to extent format before calling into xfs_bmapi_write() so
    format conversion can be done correctly.
    
    The code in xfs_bmapi_write() to convert the format is used
    implicitly by the attribute and directory code, but they
    specifically zero the fork size so that the conversion does not do
    any allocation or manipulation. Move this conversion into the
    shortform to leaf functions for the dir/attr code so the conversions
    are explicitly controlled by all callers.
    
    Now we can remove the conversion code in xfs_bmapi_write.
