xfs: add the zoned space allocator
For zoned RT devices space is always allocated at the write pointer, that is right after the last written block and only recorded on I/O completion. Because the actual allocation algorithm is very simple and just involves picking a good zone - preferably the one used for the last write to the inode. As the number of zones that can written at the same time is usually limited by the hardware, selecting a zone is done as late as possible from the iomap dio and buffered writeback bio submissions helpers just before submitting the bio. Given that the writers already took a reservation before acquiring the iolock, space will always be readily available if an open zone slot is available. A new structure is used to track these open zones, and pointed to by the xfs_rtgroup. Because zoned file systems don't have a rsum cache the space for that pointer can be reused. Allocations are only recorded at I/O completion time. The scheme used for that is very similar to the reflink COW end I/O path. Co-developed-by:Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@wdc.com> Signed-off-by:
