Brian Foster 945c941fcd xfs: make tr_growdata a permanent transaction
The growdata transaction is used by growfs operations to increase
the data size of the filesystem. Part of this sequence involves
extending the size of the last preexisting AG in the fs, if
necessary. This is implemented by freeing the newly available
physical range to the AG.

tr_growdata is not a permanent transaction, however, and block
allocation transactions must be permanent to handle deferred frees
of AGFL blocks. If the grow operation extends an existing AG that
requires AGFL fixing, assert failures occur due to a populated dfops
list on a non-permanent transaction and the AGFL free does not
occur. This is reproduced (rarely) by xfs/104.

Change tr_growdata to a permanent transaction with a default log
count. This increases initial transaction reservation size, but
growfs is an infrequent and non-performance critical operation and
so should have minimal impact.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
