This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a
.dirty_inode method. We really need this notification because
the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead
of going through methods to update this state. In addition to
the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code
that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps. And
I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO
code.
So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the
inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to
the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up
the value from the Linux inode).
Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call
in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time
when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the
normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int).
In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux
timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available
we can always use the timestamps in it.
Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes -
that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make
sure we notice early when it breaks.

xfs_trans_iget is a wrapper for xfs_iget that adds the inode to the
transaction after it is read. Except when the inode already is in the
inode cache, in which case it returns the existing locked inode with
increment lock recursion counts.
Now, no one in the tree every decrements these lock recursion counts,
so any user of this gets a potential double unlock when both the original
owner of the inode and the xfs_trans_iget caller unlock it. When looking
back in a git bisect in the historic XFS tree there was only one place
that decremented these counts, xfs_trans_iput. Introduced in commit
ca25df7a840f426eb566d52667b6950b92bb84b5 by Adam Sweeney in 1993,
and removed in commit 19f899a3ab155ff6a49c0c79b06f2f61059afaf3 by
Steve Lord in 2003. And as long as it didn't slip through git bisects
cracks never actually used in that time frame.
A quick audit of the callers of xfs_trans_iget shows that no caller
really relies on this behaviour fortunately - xfs_ialloc allows this
inode from disk so it must not be there before, and all the RT allocator
routines only every add each RT bitmap inode once.
In addition to removing lots of code and reducing the size of the inode
item this patch also avoids the double inode cache lookup in each
create/mkdir/mknod transaction.

The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to
make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the
equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except
with a range data writeout. Jan Kara has started unifying these two
path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to
look at XFS.
The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce
has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same.
We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward. One major difference
is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we
commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious
bug in the O_SYNC handling. Second all the locking and i_update_size
vs i_update_core changes from 978b723712
never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back.
To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait
call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole
file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write.
We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead
of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including
an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us.
Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size
tracking.

Most uses of struct xfs_imap are to map and inode to a buffer. To avoid
copying around the inode location information we should just embedd a
strcut xfs_imap into the xfs_inode. To make sure it doesn't bloat an
inode the im_len is changed to a ushort, which is fine as that's what
the users exepect anyway.

Now that we have a separate xfs_icdinode_t for the in-core inode which
gets logged there is no need anymore for the xfs_dinode vs xfs_dinode_core
split - the fact that part of the structure gets logged through the inode
log item and a small part not can better be described in a comment.
All sizeof operations on the dinode_core either really wanted the
icdinode and are switched to that one, or had already added the size
of the agi unlinked list pointer. Later both will be replaced with
helpers once we get the larger CRC-enabled dinode.
Removing the data and attribute fork unions also has the advantage that
xfs_dinode.h doesn't need to pull in every header under the sun.
While we're at it also add some more comments describing the dinode
structure.

Change all the remaining AIL API functions that are passed struct
xfs_mount pointers to pass pointers directly to the struct xfs_ail being
used. With this conversion, all external access to the AIL is via the
struct xfs_ail. Hence the operation and referencing of the AIL is almost
entirely independent of the xfs_mount that is using it - it is now much
more tightly tied to the log and the items it is tracking in the log than
it is tied to the xfs_mount.

The log force added in xfs_iget_core() has been a performance issue since
it was introduced for tight loops that allocate then unlink a single file.
under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe
log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes.
Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving
the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than
on transaction completion.
This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is
not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has
been written to disk.

Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
