    xfs: prevent metadata files from being inactivated · 383e32b0
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    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 f4c32e87.  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
