[PATCH 0/2] Extend xattr extent counter to 32-bits

[Chandan Rajendra <chandanrlinux@gmail.com>]

XFS has a per-inode xattr extent counter which is 16 bits wide. A workload
which
1. Creates 1,000,000 255-byte sized xattrs,
2. Deletes 50% of these xattrs in an alternating manner,
3. Tries to create 400,000 new 255-byte sized xattrs
causes the following message to be printed on the console,

XFS (loop0): xfs_iflush_int: detected corrupt incore inode 131, total extents = -19916, nblocks = 102937, ptr ffff9ce33b098c00
XFS (loop0): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x8) called from line 3739 of file fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c. Return address = ffffffffa4a94173

This indicates that we overflowed the 16-bits wide xattr extent counter.

I have been informed that there are instances where a single file has > 100
million hardlinks. With parent pointers being stored in xattr, we will
overflow the 16-bits wide xattr extent counter when large number of
hardlinks are created.

This patchset also includes the previously posted "Fix log reservation
calculation for xattr insert operation" patch as a bug fix. It now
replaces the xattr set "mount" and "runtime" reservations with just
one static reservation. Hence we don't need the funcationality to
calculate maximum sized 'xattr set' reservation separately anymore.

The patches can also be obtained from
https://github.com/chandanr/xfsprogs-dev.git at branch
32bit-anextents-v0.
