[PATCH RFC v5 00/29] io_uring getdents

[Hao Xu <hao.xu@linux.dev>]

From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com>

This series introduce getdents64 to io_uring, the code logic is similar
with the snychronized version's. It first try nowait issue, and offload
it to io-wq threads if the first try fails.

Patch1 and Patch2 are some preparation
Patch3 supports nowait for xfs getdents code
Patch4-11 are vfs change, include adding helpers and trylock for locks
Patch12-29 supports nowait for involved xfs journal stuff
note, Patch24 and 27 are actually two questions, might be removed later.
an xfs test may come later.

Tests I've done:
a liburing test case for functional test:
https://github.com/HowHsu/liburing/commit/39dc9a8e19c06a8cebf8c2301b85320eb45c061e?diff=unified

xfstests:
    test/generic: 1 fails and 171 not run
    test/xfs: 72 fails and 156 not run
run the code before without this patchset, same result.
I'll try to make the environment more right to run more tests here.


Tested it with a liburing performance test:
https://github.com/HowHsu/liburing/blob/getdents/test/getdents2.c

The test is controlled by the below script[2] which runs getdents2.t 100
times and calulate the avg.
The result show that io_uring version is about 2.6% faster:

note:
[1] the number of getdents call/request in io_uring and normal sync version
are made sure to be same beforehand.

[2] run_getdents.py

```python3

import subprocess

N = 100
sum = 0.0
args = ["/data/home/howeyxu/tmpdir", "sync"]

for i in range(N):
    output = subprocess.check_output(["./liburing/test/getdents2.t"] + args)
    sum += float(output)

average = sum / N
print("Average of sync:", average)

sum = 0.0
args = ["/data/home/howeyxu/tmpdir", "iouring"]

for i in range(N):
    output = subprocess.check_output(["./liburing/test/getdents2.t"] + args)
    sum += float(output)

average = sum / N
print("Average of iouring:", average)

```

v4->v5:
 - move atime update to the beginning of getdents operation
 - trylock for i_rwsem
 - nowait semantics for involved xfs journal stuff

v3->v4:
 - add Dave's xfs nowait code and fix a deadlock problem, with some code
   style tweak.
 - disable fixed file to avoid a race problem for now
 - add a test program.

v2->v3:
 - removed the kernfs patches
 - add f_pos_lock logic
 - remove the "reduce last EOF getdents try" optimization since
   Dominique reports that doesn't make difference
 - remove the rewind logic, I think the right way is to introduce lseek
   to io_uring not to patch this logic to getdents.
 - add Singed-off-by of Stefan Roesch for patch 1 since checkpatch
   complained that Co-developed-by someone should be accompanied with
   Signed-off-by same person, I can remove them if Stefan thinks that's
   not proper.
