When adding a new remote attribute, we write the attribute to the
new extent before the allocation transaction is committed. This
means we cannot reuse busy extents as that violates crash
consistency semantics. Hence we currently treat remote attribute
extent allocation like userdata because it has the same overwrite
ordering constraints as userdata.
Unfortunately, this also allows the allocator to incorrectly apply
extent size hints to the remote attribute extent allocation. This
results in interesting failures, such as transaction block
reservation overruns and in-memory inode attribute fork corruption.
To fix this, we need to separate the busy extent reuse configuration
from the userdata configuration. This changes the definition of
XFS_BMAPI_METADATA slightly - it now means that allocation is
metadata and reuse of busy extents is acceptible due to the metadata
ordering semantics of the journal. If this flag is not set, it
means the allocation is that has unordered data writeback, and hence
busy extent reuse is not allowed. It no longer implies the
allocation is for user data, just that the data write will not be
strictly ordered. This matches the semantics for both user data
and remote attribute block allocation.
As such, This patch changes the "userdata" field to a "datatype"
field, and adds a "no busy reuse" flag to the field.
When we detect an unordered data extent allocation, we immediately set
the no reuse flag. We then set the "user data" flags based on the
inode fork we are allocating the extent to. Hence we only set
userdata flags on data fork allocations now and consider attribute
fork remote extents to be an unordered metadata extent.
The result is that remote attribute extents now have the expected
allocation semantics, and the data fork allocation behaviour is
completely unchanged.
It should be noted that there may be other ways to fix this (e.g.
use ordered metadata buffers for the remote attribute extent data
write) but they are more invasive and difficult to validate both
from a design and implementation POV. Hence this patch takes the
simple, obvious route to fixing the problem...

Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition
of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of
xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's definition.
Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h,
xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to
xfs_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk
format definitions. With this done, the xfs inode definitions are no
longer dependent on btree header files.
The enables a massive culling of unnecessary includes, with close to
200 #include directives removed from the XFS kernel code base.

xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.
Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not
translate to any userspace changes at all.

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported
for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than
spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk
format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part
of the on disk format.
Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these
related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations
structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have
crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other
shared header file to put them in.

Commit e459df5, 'xfs: move busy extent handling to it's own file'
moved some code from xfs_alloc.c into xfs_extent_busy.c for
convenience in userspace code merges. One of the functions moved is
xfs_extent_busy_trim (formerly xfs_alloc_busy_trim) which is defined
STATIC. Unfortunately this function is still used in xfs_alloc.c, and
this results in an undefined symbol in xfs.ko.
Make xfs_extent_busy_trim not static and add its prototype to
xfs_extent_busy.h.

To make it easier to handle userspace code merges, move all the busy
extent handling out of the allocation code and into it's own file.
The userspace code does not need the busy extent code, so this
simplifies the merging of the kernel code into the userspace
xfsprogs library.
Because the busy extent code has been almost completely rewritten
over the past couple of years, also update the copyright on this new
file to include the authors that made all those changes.
