In DEBUG mode, assert failures unconditionally trigger a kernel BUG.
This is useful in diagnostic situations to panic a system and
collect detailed state information at the time of a failure.
This can also cause problems in cases where DEBUG mode code is
desired but it is preferable not trigger kernel BUGs on assert
failure. For example, during development of new code or during
certain xfstests tests that intentionally cause corruption and test
the kernel for survival (but otherwise may expect to trigger assert
failures).
To provide additional flexibility, create the
<sysfs>/fs/xfs/debug/bug_on_assert tunable to configure assert
failure behavior at runtime. This tunable is only available in DEBUG
mode and is enabled by default to preserve existing default
behavior. When disabled, assert failures in DEBUG mode result in
kernel warnings.

Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too
old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting
writeback or directio operations in progress.
Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from
prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a
(much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been
useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs
experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios
low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits
us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless
we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim.

XFS log recovery has been discovered to have race conditions with
buffers when I/O errors occur. External tools are available to simulate
I/O errors to XFS, but this alone is not sufficient for testing log
recovery. XFS unconditionally resets the inactive region of the log
prior to log recovery to avoid confusion over processing any partially
written log records that might have been written before an unclean
shutdown. Therefore, unconditional write I/O failures at mount time are
caught by the reset sequence rather than log recovery and hinder the
ability to test the latter.
The device-mapper dm-flakey module uses an up/down timer to define a
cycle for when to fail I/Os. Create a pre log recovery delay tunable
that can be used to coordinate XFS log recovery with I/O errors
simulated by dm-flakey. This facilitates coordination in userspace that
allows the reset of stale log blocks to succeed and writes due to log
recovery to fail. For example, define a dm-flakey instance with an
uptime long enough to allow log reset to succeed and a log recovery
delay long enough to allow the dm-flakey uptime to expire.
The 'log_recovery_delay' sysfs tunable is exported under
/sys/fs/xfs/debug and is only enabled for kernels compiled in XFS debug
mode. The value is exported in units of seconds and allows for a delay
of up to 60 seconds. Note that this is for XFS debug and test
instrumentation purposes only and should not be used by applications. No
delay is enabled by default.

Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.
The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
