xfs: replace dop_low with transaction flag
The dop_low field enables the low free space allocation mode when a previous allocation has detected difficulty allocating blocks. It has historically been part of the xfs_defer_ops structure, which means if enabled, it remains enabled across a set of transactions until the deferred operations have completed and the dfops is reset. Now that the dfops is embedded in the transaction, we can save a bit more space by using a transaction flag rather than a standalone boolean. Drop the ->dop_low field and replace it with a transaction flag that is set at the same points, carried across rolling transactions and cleared on completion of deferred operations. This essentially emulates the behavior of ->dop_low and so should not change behavior. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
