The realtime summary is a two-dimensional array on disk, effectively:

u32 rsum[log2(number of realtime extents) + 1][number of blocks in the bitmap]

rsum[log][bbno] is the number of extents of size 2**log which start in
bitmap block bbno.

xfs_rtallocate_extent_near() uses xfs_rtany_summary() to check whether
rsum[log][bbno] != 0 for any log level. However, the summary array is
stored in row-major order (i.e., like an array in C), so all of these
entries are not adjacent, but rather spread across the entire summary
file. In the worst case (a full bitmap block), xfs_rtany_summary() has
to check every level.

This means that on a moderately-used realtime device, an allocation will
waste a lot of time finding, reading, and releasing buffers for the
realtime summary. In particular, one of our storage services (which runs
on servers with 8 very slow CPUs and 15 8 TB XFS realtime filesystems)
spends almost 5% of its CPU cycles in xfs_rtbuf_get() and
xfs_trans_brelse() called from xfs_rtany_summary().

One solution would be to also store the summary with the dimensions
swapped. However, this would require a disk format change to a very old
component of XFS.

Instead, we can cache the minimum size which contains any extents. We do
so lazily; rather than guaranteeing that the cache contains the precise
minimum, it always contains a loose lower bound which we tighten when we
read or update a summary block. This only uses a few kilobytes of memory
and is already serialized via the realtime bitmap and summary inode
locks, so the cost is minimal. With this change, the same workload only
spends 0.2% of its CPU cycles in the realtime allocator.
