This is a utility option for the resizer, it makes sure to allocate
at offset bytes in the disk or higher. It ensures the resizer will have
something to move when testing it.
This patch improves converter's allocator and fixes a bug in data relocation
function. The new allocator caches free blocks as Btrfs's default allocator.
In testing here, the user CPU time reduced to half of the original when
checksum and small file packing was disabled. This patch also enlarges the
size of block groups created by the converter.
The main changes in this patch are adding chunk handing and data relocation
ability. In the last step of conversion, the converter relocates data in system
chunk and move chunk tree into system chunk. In the rollback process, the
converter remove chunk tree from system chunk and copy data back.

Block headers now store the chunk tree uuid
Chunk items records the device uuid for each stripes
Device extent items record better back refs to the chunk tree
Block groups record better back refs to the chunk tree
The chunk tree format has also changed. The objectid of BTRFS_CHUNK_ITEM_KEY
used to be the logical offset of the chunk. Now it is a chunk tree id,
with the logical offset being stored in the offset field of the key.
This allows a single chunk tree to record multiple logical address spaces,
upping the number of bytes indexed by a chunk tree from 2^64 to
2^128.
The mkfs code bootstraps the filesystem on a single device. Once
the raid block groups are setup, it needs to recow all of the blocks so
that each tree is properly allocated.
The first problem is that these SETGET macros lose typing information,
and therefore can't see the 'packed' attribute and therefore take
unaligned access SIGBUS signals on sparc64 when trying to derefernce
the member.
The next problem is a similar issue in btrfs_name_hash(). This gets
passed things like &key.offset which is a member of a packed
structure, losing this packed'ness information btrfs_name_hash()
performs a potentially unaligned memory access, again resulting in a
SIGBUS.
This adds support for keeping track of the number of blocks used by
root_item's. This makes it so that mkfs lays down the "default" subvol with
the correct block accounting in place. Thank you,
