xfs: fix broken icreate log item cancellation
Inode cluster buffers are invalidated and cancelled when inode chunks
are freed to notify log recovery that previous logged updates to the
metadata buffer should be skipped. This ensures that log recovery does
not overwrite buffers that might have already been reused.
On v4 filesystems, inode chunk allocation and inode updates are logged
via the cluster buffers and thus cancellation is easily detected via
buffer cancellation items. v5 filesystems use the new icreate
transaction, which uses logical logging and ordered buffers to log a
full inode chunk allocation at once. The resulting icreate item often
spans multiple inode cluster buffers.
Log recovery checks for cancelled buffers when processing icreate log
items, but it has a couple problems. First, it uses the full length of
the inode chunk rather than the cluster size. Second, it uses the length
in FSB units rather than BB units. Either of these problems prevent
icreate recovery from identifying cancelled buffers and thus inode
initialization proceeds unconditionally.
Update xlog_recover_do_icreate_pass2() to iterate the icreate range in
cluster sized increments and check each increment for cancellation.
Since icreate is currently only used for the minimum atomic inode chunk
allocation, we expect that either all or none of the buffers will be
cancelled. Cancel the icreate if at least one buffer is cancelled to
avoid making a bad situation worse by initializing a partial inode
chunk, but detect such anomalies and warn the user.
