The collapse range implementation uses a transaction per extent shift.
The progress of the overall operation is tracked via the current extent
index of the in-core extent list. This is racy because the ilock must be
dropped and reacquired for each transaction according to locking and log
reservation rules. Therefore, writeback to prior regions of the file is
possible and can change the extent count. This changes the extent to
which the current index refers and causes the collapse to fail mid
operation. To avoid this problem, the entire file is currently written
back before the collapse operation starts.
To eliminate the need to flush the entire file, use the file offset
(fsb) to track the progress of the overall extent shift operation rather
than the extent index. Modify xfs_bmap_shift_extents() to
unconditionally convert the start_fsb parameter to an extent index and
return the file offset of the extent where the shift left off, if
further extents exist. The bulk of ths function can remain based on
extent index as ilock is held by the caller. xfs_collapse_file_space()
now uses the fsb output as the starting point for the subsequent shift.

The file collapse mechanism uses xfs_bmap_shift_extents() to collapse
all subsequent extents down into the specified, previously punched out,
region. This function performs some validation, such as whether a
sufficient hole exists in the target region of the collapse, then shifts
the remaining exents downward.
The exit path of the function currently logs the inode unconditionally.
While we must log the inode (and abort) if an error occurs and the
transaction is dirty, the initial validation paths can generate errors
before the transaction has been dirtied. This creates an unnecessary
filesystem shutdown scenario, as the caller will cancel a transaction
that has been marked dirty.
Modify xfs_bmap_shift_extents() to OR the logflags bits as modifications
are made to the inode bmap. Only log the inode in the exit path if
logflags has been set. This ensures we only have to cancel a dirty
transaction if modifications have been made and prevents an unnecessary
filesystem shutdown otherwise.

Trying to support tiny disks only and saving a bit memory might have
made sense on an SGI O2 15 years ago, but is pretty pointless today.
Remove the rarely tested codepath that uses various smaller in-memory
types to reduce our test matrix and make the codebase a little bit
smaller and less complicated.

Convert all the errors the core XFs code to negative error signs
like the rest of the kernel and remove all the sign conversion we
do in the interface layers.
Errors for conversion (and comparison) found via searches like:
$ git grep " E" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return E" fs/xfs
$ git grep " E[A-Z].*;$" fs/xfs
Negation points found via searches like:
$ git grep "= -[a-z,A-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return -[a-z,A-D,F-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep " -[a-z].*;" fs/xfs
