Now that CoW-based atomic writes are supported, update the max size of an atomic write for the data device. The limit of a CoW-based atomic write will be the limit of the number of logitems which can fit into a single transaction. In addition, the max atomic write size needs to be aligned to the agsize. Limit the size of atomic writes to the greatest power-of-two factor of the agsize so that allocations for an atomic write will always be aligned compatibly with the alignment requirements of the storage. Function xfs_atomic_write_logitems() is added to find the limit the number of log items which can fit in a single transaction. Amend the max atomic write computation to create a new transaction reservation type, and compute the maximum size of an atomic write completion (in fsblocks) based on this new transaction reservation. Initially, tr_atomic_write is a clone of tr_itruncate, which provides a reasonable level of parallelism. In the next patch, we'll add a mount option so that sysadmins can configure their own limits.

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 reStructuredText 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.
