Darrick J. Wong 6d6ccedd76 xfs: only allocate memory for scrubbing attributes when we need it
In examining a flame graph of time spent running xfs_scrub on various
filesystems, I noticed that we spent nearly 7% of the total runtime on
allocating a zeroed 65k buffer for every SCRUB_TYPE_XATTR invocation.
We do this even if none of the attribute values were anywhere near 64k
in size, even if there were no attribute blocks to check space on, and
even if it just turns out there are no attributes at all.

Therefore, rearrange the xattr buffer setup code to support reallocating
with a bigger buffer and redistribute the callers of that function so
that we only allocate memory just prior to needing it, and only allocate
as much as we need.  If we can't get memory with the ILOCK held we'll
bail out with EDEADLOCK which will allocate the maximum memory.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
