[PATCH 0/32] fs: Move metadata bh tracking from address_space

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Hello,

this patch series cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in
metadata buffer_head tracking for inodes, moves the tracking into dedicated
structure in filesystem-private part of the inode (so that we don't use
private_list, private_data, and private_lock in struct address_space), and also
moves couple other users of private_data and private_list so these are removed
from struct address_space saving 3 longs in struct inode for 99% of inodes.  I
would like to get rid of private_lock in struct address_space as well however
the locking changes for buffer_heads are non-trivial there and the patch series
is long enough as is. So let's leave that for another time.

The patches have survived some testing with fstests and ltp however I didn't
test AFFS, HUGETLBFS, and KVM guest_memfd changes so a help with testing
those would be very welcome. Thanks.
