xfs: Set up infrastructure for log attribute replay
Currently attributes are modified directly across one or more transactions. But they are not logged or replayed in the event of an error. The goal of log attr replay is to enable logging and replaying of attribute operations using the existing delayed operations infrastructure. This will later enable the attributes to become part of larger multi part operations that also must first be recorded to the log. This is mostly of interest in the scheme of parent pointers which would need to maintain an attribute containing parent inode information any time an inode is moved, created, or removed. Parent pointers would then be of interest to any feature that would need to quickly derive an inode path from the mount point. Online scrub, nfs lookups and fs grow or shrink operations are all features that could take advantage of this. This patch adds two new log item types for setting or removing attributes as deferred operations. The xfs_attri_log_item will log an intent to set or remove an attribute. The corresponding xfs_attrd_log_item holds a reference to the xfs_attri_log_item and is freed once the transaction is done. Both log items use a generic xfs_attr_log_format structure that contains the attribute name, value, flags, inode, and an op_flag that indicates if the operations is a set or remove.
