xfs: try to avoid blowing out the transaction reservation when bunmaping a shared extent
In a pathological scenario where we are trying to bunmapi a single extent in which every other block is shared, it's possible that trying to unmap the entire large extent in a single transaction can generate so many EFIs that we overflow the transaction reservation. Therefore, use a heuristic to guess at the number of blocks we can safely unmap from a reflink file's data fork in an single transaction. This should prevent problems such as the log head slamming into the tail and ASSERTs that trigger because we've exceeded the transaction reservation. Note that since bunmapi can fail to unmap the entire range, we must also teach the deferred unmap code to roll into a new transaction whenever we get low on reservation. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
