bcachefs: Nocow support
This adds support for nocow mode, where we do writes in-place when
possible. Patch components:
- New boolean filesystem and inode option, nocow: note that when nocow
is enabled, data checksumming and compression are implicitly disabled
- To prevent in-place writes from racing with data moves
(data_update.c) or bucket reuse (i.e. a bucket being reused and
re-allocated while a nocow write is in flight, we have a new locking
mechanism.
Buckets can be locked for either data update or data move, using a
fixed size hash table of two_state_shared locks. We don't have any
chaining, meaning updates and moves to different buckets that hash to
the same lock will wait unnecessarily - we'll want to watch for this
becoming an issue.
- The allocator path also needs to check for in-place writes in flight
to a given bucket before giving it out: thus we add another counter
to bucket_alloc_state so we can track this.
- Fsync now may need to issue cache flushes to block devices instead of
flushing the journal. We add a device bitmask to bch_inode_info,
ei_devs_need_flush, which tracks devices that need to have flushes
issued - note that this will lead to unnecessary flushes when other
codepaths have already issued flushes, we may want to replace this with
a sequence number.
- New nocow write path: look up extents, and if they're writable write
to them - otherwise fall back to the normal COW write path.
XXX: switch to sequence numbers instead of bitmask for devs needing
journal flush
XXX: ei_quota_lock being a mutex means bch2_nocow_write_done() needs to
run in process context - see if we can improve this
