xfs: drop the obsolete comment on filestream locking

Browse Source 
Since commit 1c1c6ebcf5 ("xfs: Replace per-ag array with a radix
tree"), there is no m_peraglock anymore, so it's hard to understand
the described situation since per-ag is no longer an array and no
need to reallocate, call xfs_filestream_flush() in growfs.

In addition, the race condition for shrink feature is quite confusing
to me currently as well. Get rid of it instead.

@ -33,39 +33,7 @@ enum xfs_fstrm_alloc {
/*
* Allocation group filestream associations are tracked with per-ag atomic
* counters. These counters allow xfs_filestream_pick_ag() to tell whether a
* particular AG already has active filestreams associated with it. The mount
* point's m_peraglock is used to protect these counters from per-ag array
* re-allocation during a growfs operation. When xfs_growfs_data_private() is
* about to reallocate the array, it calls xfs_filestream_flush() with the
* m_peraglock held in write mode.
*
* Since xfs_mru_cache_flush() guarantees that all the free functions for all
* the cache elements have finished executing before it returns, it's safe for
* the free functions to use the atomic counters without m_peraglock protection.
* This allows the implementation of xfs_fstrm_free_func() to be agnostic about
* whether it was called with the m_peraglock held in read mode, write mode or
* not held at all. The race condition this addresses is the following:
*
* - The work queue scheduler fires and pulls a filestream directory cache
* element off the LRU end of the cache for deletion, then gets pre-empted.
* - A growfs operation grabs the m_peraglock in write mode, flushes all the
* remaining items from the cache and reallocates the mount point's per-ag
* array, resetting all the counters to zero.
* - The work queue thread resumes and calls the free function for the element
* it started cleaning up earlier. In the process it decrements the
* filestreams counter for an AG that now has no references.
*
* With a shrinkfs feature, the above scenario could panic the system.
*
* All other uses of the following macros should be protected by either the
* m_peraglock held in read mode, or the cache's internal locking exposed by the
* interval between a call to xfs_mru_cache_lookup() and a call to
* xfs_mru_cache_done(). In addition, the m_peraglock must be held in read mode
* when new elements are added to the cache.
*
* Combined, these locking rules ensure that no associations will ever exist in
* the cache that reference per-ag array elements that have since been
* reallocated.
* particular AG already has active filestreams associated with it.
