3b8d90766a xfs: remove xfs_filestream_associate
There is no good reason to create a filestream when a directory entry
is created.  Delay it until the first allocation happens to simply
the code and reduce the amount of mru cache lookups we do.

1919adda07 xfs: don't create a slab cache for filestream items
We only have very few of these around, and allocation isn't that
much of a hot path.  Remove the slab cache to simplify the code,
and to not waste any resources for the usual case of not having
any inodes that use the filestream allocator.

2cd2ef6a30 xfs: rewrite the filestream allocator using the dentry cache
In Linux we will always be able to find a parent inode for file that are
undergoing I/O.  Use this to simply the file stream allocator by only
keeping track of parent inodes.

f37211c336 xfs: remove XFS_IFILESTREAM
We never test the flag except in xfs_inode_is_filestream, but that
function already tests the on-disk flag or filesystem wide flags,
and is used to decide if we want to set XFS_IFILESTREAM in the
first place.

0664ce8d0f xfs: clean up filestreams helpers
Move xfs_filestream_peek_ag, xxfs_filestream_get_ag and xfs_filestream_put_ag
from xfs_filestream.h to xfs_filestream.c where it's only callers are, and
remove the inline marker while we're at it to let the compiler decide on the
inlining.  Also don't return a value from xfs_filestream_put_ag because
we don't need it.

b657fc82a3 xfs: Kill filestreams cache flush
The filestreams cache flush is not needed in the sync code as it
does not affect data writeback, and it is now not used by the growfs
code, either, so kill it.

b8f82a4a6f xfs: kill the STATIC_INLINE macro
Remove our own STATIC_INLINE macro.  For small function inside
implementation files just use STATIC and let gcc inline it, and for
those in headers do the normal static inline - they are all small
enough to be inlined for debug builds, too.

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).
