    xfs: use a separate frextents counter for rt extent reservations · 2229276c
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    As mentioned in the previous commit, the kernel misuses sb_frextents in
    the incore mount to reflect both incore reservations made by running
    transactions as well as the actual count of free rt extents on disk.
    This results in the superblock being written to the log with an
    underestimate of the number of rt extents that are marked free in the
    rtbitmap.
    
    Teaching XFS to recompute frextents after log recovery avoids
    operational problems in the current mount, but it doesn't solve the
    problem of us writing undercounted frextents which are then recovered by
    an older kernel that doesn't have that fix.
    
    Create an incore percpu counter to mirror the ondisk frextents.  This
    new counter will track transaction reservations and the only time we
    will touch the incore super counter (i.e the one that gets logged) is
    when those transactions commit updates to the rt bitmap.  This is in
    contrast to the lazysbcount counters (e.g. fdblocks), where we know that
    log recovery will always fix any incorrect counter that we log.
    As a bonus, we only take m_sb_lock at transaction commit time.
