David Chinner 2a82b8be8a [XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.

When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.

This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.

The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.

Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).

Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

* XFS arguments structure, constructed from the arguments we
* are passed via the mount system call.
*
* NOTE: The mount system call is handled differently between
* Linux and IRIX. In IRIX we worked work with a binary data
* structure coming in across the syscall interface from user
* space (the mount userspace knows about each filesystem type
* and the set of valid options for it, and converts the users
* argument string into a binary structure _before_ making the
* system call), and the ABI issues that this implies.
*
* In Linux, we are passed a comma separated set of options;
* ie. a NULL terminated string of characters. Userspace mount
* code does not have any knowledge of mount options expected by
* each filesystem type and so each filesystem parses its mount
* options in kernel space.
*
* For the Linux port, we kept this structure pretty much intact
* and use it internally (because the existing code groks it).
