storage/posix: implement batched fsync in a single thread
Because of the extra fsync()s issued by AFR transaction, they could potentially "clog" all the io-threads denying unrelated operations from making progress. This patch assigns a dedicated thread to issues fsyncs, as an experimental feature to understand performance characteristics with the approach. As a basis, incoming individual fsync requests are grouped into batches, falling in the same @batch-fsync-delay-usec window of time. These windows can extend in practice, as processing of the previous batch can take longer than @batch-fsync-delay-usec while new requests are getting batched. The feature support three modes (similar to the -S modes of fs_mark) - syncfs: In this mode one syncfs() is issued per batch, instead of N fsync()s (one per file.) - syncfs-single-fsync: In this mode one syncfs() is issued per batch (which, on Linux, guarantees the completion of write-out of dirty pages in the filesystem up to that point) and one single fsync() to synchronize or flush the controller/drive cache. This corresponds to -S 2 of fsmark. - syncfs-reverse-fsync: In this mode, one syncfs() is issued per batch, and all the open files in that batch are fsync()'ed in the reverse order of the queue. This corresponds to -S 4 of fsmark. - reverse-fsync: In this mode, no syncfs() is issued and all the files in the batch are fsync()'ed in the reverse order. This corresponds to -S 3 of fsmark.
