Brian Foster fec0afdaf4 xfs: reuse best extent tracking logic for bnobt scan
The near mode bnobt scan searches left and right in the bnobt
looking for the closest free extent to the allocation hint that
satisfies minlen. Once such an extent is found, the left/right
search terminates, we search one more time in the opposite direction
and finish the allocation with the best overall extent.

The left/right and find best searches are currently controlled via a
combination of cursor state and local variables. Clean up this code
and prepare for further improvements to the near mode fallback
algorithm by reusing the allocation cursor best extent tracking
mechanism. Update the tracking logic to deactivate bnobt cursors
when out of allocation range and replace open-coded extent checks to
calls to the common helper. In doing so, rename some misnamed local
variables in the top-level near mode allocation function.

README

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.

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.
