xfs: prevent metadata files from being inactivated
Files containing metadata (quota records, rt bitmap and summary info) are fully managed by the filesystem, which means that all resource cleanup must be explicit, not automatic. This means that they should never be subjected automatic to post-eof truncation, nor should they be freed automatically even if the link count drops to zero. In other words, xfs_inactive() should leave these files alone. Add the necessary predicate functions to make this happen. This adds a second layer of prevention for the kinds of fs corruption that was fixed by commit f4c32e87de7d. If we ever decide to support removing metadata files, we should make all those metadata updates explicit. Rearrange the order of #includes to fix compiler errors, since xfs_mount.h is supposed to be included before xfs_inode.h Followup-to: f4c32e87de7d ("xfs: fix realtime bitmap/summary file truncation when growing rt volume") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
