The EFI/EFD item format definitions are shared with userspace. Split
the out of header files that contain kernel only defintions to make
it simple to shared them.

Filesystems are occasionally being shut down with this error:
xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk: attempting to delete a log item that is
not in the AIL.
It was diagnosed to be related to the EFI/EFD commit order when the
EFI and EFD are in different checkpoints and the EFD is committed
before the EFI here:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-01/msg00082.html
The real problem is that a single bit cannot fully describe the
states that the EFI/EFD processing can be in. These completion
states are:
EFI EFI in AIL EFD Result
committed/unpinned Yes committed OK
committed/pinned No committed Shutdown
uncommitted No committed Shutdown
Note that the "result" field is what should happen, not what does
happen. The current logic is broken and handles the first two cases
correctly by luck. That is, the code will free the EFI if the
XFS_EFI_COMMITTED bit is *not* set, rather than if it is set. The
inverted logic "works" because if both EFI and EFD are committed,
then the first __xfs_efi_release() call clears the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED
bit, and the second frees the EFI item. Hence as long as
xfs_efi_item_committed() has been called, everything appears to be
fine.
It is the third case where the logic fails - where
xfs_efd_item_committed() is called before xfs_efi_item_committed(),
and that results in the EFI being freed before it has been
committed. That is the bug that triggered the shutdown, and hence
keeping track of whether the EFI has been committed or not is
insufficient to correctly order the EFI/EFD operations w.r.t. the
AIL.
What we really want is this: the EFI is always placed into the
AIL before the last reference goes away. The only way to guarantee
that is that the EFI is not freed until after it has been unpinned
*and* the EFD has been committed. That is, restructure the logic so
that the only case that can occur is the first case.
This can be done easily by replacing the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED with an
EFI reference count. The EFI is initialised with it's own count, and
that is not released until it is unpinned. However, there is a
complication to this method - the high level EFI/EFD code in
xfs_bmap_finish() does not hold direct references to the EFI
structure, and runs a transaction commit between the EFI and EFD
processing. Hence the EFI can be freed even before the EFD is
created using such a method.
Further, log recovery uses the AIL for tracking EFI/EFDs that need
to be recovered, but it uses the AIL *differently* to the EFI
transaction commit. Hence log recovery never pins or unpins EFIs, so
we can't drop the EFI reference count indirectly to free the EFI.
However, this doesn't prevent us from using a reference count here.
There is a 1:1 relationship between EFIs and EFDs, so when we
initialise the EFI we can take a reference count for the EFD as
well. This solves the xfs_bmap_finish() issue - the EFI will never
be freed until the EFD is processed. In terms of log recovery,
during the committing of the EFD we can look for the
XFS_EFI_RECOVERED bit being set and drop the EFI reference as well,
thereby ensuring everything works correctly there as well.

EFI/EFD interactions are protected from races by the AIL lock. They
are the only type of log items that require the the AIL lock to
serialise internal state, so they need to be separated from the AIL
lock before we can do bulk insert operations on the AIL.
To acheive this, convert the counter of the number of extents in the
EFI to an atomic so it can be safely manipulated by EFD processing
without locks. Also, convert the EFI state flag manipulations to use
atomic bit operations so no locks are needed to record state
changes. Finally, use the state bits to determine when it is safe to
free the EFI and clean up the code to do this neatly.

XFS_EFI_CANCELED has not been set in the code base since
xfs_efi_cancel() was removed back in 2006 by commit
065d312e15902976d256ddaf396a7950ec0350a8 ("[XFS] Remove unused
iop_abort log item operation), and even then xfs_efi_cancel() was
never called. I haven't tracked it back further than that (beyond
git history), but it indicates that the handling of EFIs in
cancelled transactions has been broken for a long time.
Basically, when we get an IOP_UNPIN(lip, 1); call from
xfs_trans_uncommit() (i.e. remove == 1), if we don't free the log
item descriptor we leak it. Fix the behviour to be correct and kill
the XFS_EFI_CANCELED flag.

There are several tests for #ifndef HAVE_FORMAT32, but
this is never defined anywhere so it is always the default
behavior; just remove the ifndef goop.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
