commit 4be536debe3f7b0c62283e77fd6bd8bdb9f83c6f

    [XFS] Prevent free space oversubscription and xfssyncd looping.

    The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on
    allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not
    leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we
    needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list
    and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times.

    However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free
    list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could
    cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying
    to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the
    AG.

    The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the
    inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those
    blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and
    makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block
    ioctl respect this requirement.

    [XFS] Fix ABBA deadlock between i_mutex and iolock. Avoid calling
    __blockdev_direct_IO for the DIO_OWN_LOCKING case for direct I/O reads
    since it drops and reacquires the i_mutex while holding the iolock and
    this violates the locking order.

    [XFS] Fix xfs_splice_write() so appended data gets to disk.

    xfs_splice_write() failed to update the on disk inode size when extending
    the so when the file was closed the range extended by splice was truncated
    off. Hence any region of a file written to by splice would end up as a
    hole full of zeros.
