New code for 5.12:
- Fix an ABBA deadlock when renaming files on overlayfs.
- Make sure that we can't overflow the inode extent counters when adding
to or removing extents from a file.
- Make directory sgid inheritance work the same way as all the other
filesystems.
- Don't drain the buffer cache on freeze and ro remount, which should
reduce the amount of time if read-only workloads are continuing
during the freeze.
- Fix a bug where symlink size isn't reported to the vfs in ecryptfs.
- Disentangle log cleaning from log covering. This refactoring sets us
up for future changes to the log, though for now it simply means that
we can use covering for freezes, and cleaning becomes something we
only do at unmount.
- Speed up file fsyncs by reducing iolock cycling.
xfs: reduce ilock acquisitions in xfs_file_fsync
If the inode is not pinned by the time fsync is called we don't need the
ilock to protect against concurrent clearing of ili_fsync_fields as the
inode won't need a log flush or clearing of these fields. Not taking
the iolock allows for full concurrency of fsync and thus O_DSYNC
completions with io_uring/aio write submissions.
