Ok, technically those bits could be punted off to the reflink series.

That's kind of what I figured, since otherwise most of the rest of the
code maps to the xfs_bmap_*() stuff.

It's more a matter of simplifying review when a change is explicitly
refactoring vs. having to read through and identify where the
enhancements actually are. It leaves a cleaner git history and tends to
simplify backporting as well, fwiw.

That said, I don't mind leaving this one as is at this point.

Ah, Ok. So it is explicitly part of the dfops interface/infrastructure.
I think that is worth documenting above with a comment (i.e., "certain
callers might require many transactions, use -EAGAIN to indicate ...
blah blah").

Hmm, this makes me think that maybe it is better to split this up into
two patches for now after all. I'm expecting this is going to be merged
along with the rmap bits before the refcount stuff and I'm not a huge
fan of putting in infrastructure code without users, moreso without
fully understanding how/why said code is going to be used (and I'm not
really looking to jump ahead into the refcount stuff yet).

Yeah, I didn't notice any issues with respect to EFI/EFD handling,
though I didn't look too hard because it doesn't use this -EAGAIN
mechanism. If it did, I think you might hit the odd ASSERT() check here
or there (see xfs_efd_item_format()), but that's probably not
catastrophic. I think it also affects the size of the transaction
written to the log, fwiw.

I ask more because it's unexpected to have a structure with a list count
that doesn't match the actual number of items and I don't see it called
out anywhere. This might be another good reason to punt this part off to
the reflink series...

I'd point out the relevance of doing so in the same transaction,
otherwise sounds good.
