Speculative preallocation is currently processed entirely by the callers
of xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc(). The caller determines how much
preallocation to include, adjusts the extent length and passes down the
resulting request.
While this works fine for post-eof speculative preallocation, it is not
as reliable for COW fork preallocation. COW fork preallocation is
implemented via the cowextszhint, which aligns the start offset as well
as the length of the extent. Further, it is difficult for the caller to
accurately identify when preallocation occurs because the returned
extent could have been merged with neighboring extents in the fork.
To simplify this situation and facilitate further COW fork preallocation
enhancements, update xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() to take a separate
preallocation parameter to incorporate into the allocation request. The
preallocation blocks value is tacked onto the end of the request and
adjusted to accommodate neighboring extents and extent size limits.
Since xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() now knows precisely how much
preallocation was included in the allocation, it can also tag the inodes
appropriately to support preallocation reclaim.
Note that xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() callers are not yet updated to
use the preallocation mechanism. This patch should not change behavior
outside of correctly tagging reflink inodes when start offset
preallocation occurs (which the caller does not handle correctly).
