H A Dxfs_bmap_util.cdiff dd87f87d87fa4359a54e7b44549742f579e3e805 Wed Feb 26 18:43:16 CET 2020 Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> xfs: rework insert range into an atomic operation

The insert range operation uses a unique transaction and ilock cycle
for the extent split and each extent shift iteration of the overall
operation. While this works, it is risks racing with other
operations in subtle ways such as COW writeback modifying an extent
tree in the middle of a shift operation.

To avoid this problem, make insert range atomic with respect to
ilock. Hold the ilock across the entire operation, replace the
individual transactions with a single rolling transaction sequence
and relog the inode to keep it moving in the log. This guarantees
that nothing else can change the extent mapping of an inode while
an insert range operation is in progress.
