***** SUSPECTED SPAM ***** [RFD 17/17] xfs: log unlinked list modifications in the incore v3 inode

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Now that we have incore unlinked lists and try-lock capability for
unlinked list removal operations, we can now switch the v3 inodes to
use transactions that directly modify and log the in-core inode
unlinked list pointers.

To do this, we need to lock the inode that points to the current
inode and update it's unlinked list pointer and log it. With that
modification, the current inode has been removed from the unlinked
list. If the current inode is at the head of the unlinked list, then
instead of an inode modification we need to modify the AGI unlinked
bucket pointer.

This can all be contained within the .iunlink_remove() method for v3
inodes, but we have to be careful about locking the previous inode -
it needs to use trylock semantics so we don't introduce deadlock
problems, and that means we need to ensure that the xfs_ifree path
handles EAGAIN errors correctly and passes it back to the caller so
that it can be retried again at a later time.
