2006-08-10[XFS] Fix xfs_free_extent related NULL pointer dereference.Nathan Scott
We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL. This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are irrelevent for the space-freeing case.

2006-06-09[XFS] In actual allocation of file system blocks and freeing extents, theYingping Lu
transaction within each such operation may involve multiple locking of AGF buffer. While the freeing extent function has sorted the extents based on AGF number before entering into transaction, however, when the file system space is very limited, the allocation of space would try every AGF to get space allocated, this could potentially cause out-of-order locking, thus deadlock could happen. This fix mitigates the scarce space for allocation by setting aside a few blocks without reservation, and avoid deadlock by maintaining ascending order of AGF locking.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
