This patchset unified a large part of chunk allocator (free device
extent search) between kernel and btrfs-progs.
Although there are still differences in the following areas, the goal of
extract common code into libbtrfs is in the reach.
1) Member differences
Btrfs-progs lacks quite some members of kernel, so something like
fs_devices->total_rw_bytes still makes difference.
2) @convert parameter for mkfs/convert
It should be able to extract them into a simpler function.
3) delayed bg creations vs direct bg creation
Kernel delays block group creation while btrfs-progs directly
allocates block group.
This makes kernel __btrfs_alloc_chunk() more or less chunk mapping
allocation only, while btrfs-progs handles extra chunk, dev extent
and block group item creation.
This needs extra function refactor before we really extra code into
libbtrfs.
Despite the preparation for later libbtrfs, this rework still has some
benefit:
1) No minimal stripe/chunk size
Unlike the intermediate minimal stripe/chunk size in btrfs-progs,
kernel doesn't really implement a minimal stripe/chunk size.
So now we don't have such limit in btrfs-progs side now.
Although the minimal device size calculation doesn't make any harm so
it's still kept as is.
2) Slightly less code for chunk allocator
Just about -60 lines in the last patch.
