Brian Foster 1214f1cf66 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
