Linus Torvalds 781fca5b10 Changes for 4.19:
- Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of bufferhead
   state.
 - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap library
   functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code for
   pagesize == blocksize filesystems.
 - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
   information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to drop
   the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.
 - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we can
   take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb pointer
   passing through the code.
 - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
   transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
   that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.
 - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.
 - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.
 - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.
 - Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a transaction
   so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.
 - Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.
 - Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.
 - Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.
 - Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.
 - Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.
 - Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
   structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
   handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.
 - Add the ability to repair AG headers online.
 - Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.
 - Various fixes and cleanups.

Merge tag 'xfs-4.19-merge-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This is the second part of the XFS changes for 4.19.

  The biggest changes are the removal of buffer heads frm XFS, a massive
  reworking of the deferred transaction operations handling code, the
  removal of the long defunct barrier/nobarrier mount options, and the
  addition of a few more online repair functions.

  Summary:

   - Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of
     bufferhead state.

   - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap
     library functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code
     for pagesize == blocksize filesystems.

   - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
     information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to
     drop the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.

   - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we
     can take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb
     pointer passing through the code.

   - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
     transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
     that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.

   - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.

   - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.

   - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.

   - Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a
     transaction so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.

   - Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.

   - Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.

   - Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.

   - Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.

   - Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.

   - Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
     structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
     handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.

   - Add the ability to repair AG headers online.

   - Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"
