    jbd2: fix descriptor block size handling errors with journal_csum · db9ee220
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk
    format of journal checksum v2.  The foremost is that the function to
    calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big.  This
    causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the
    fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to
    determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the
    feature flags.
    
    Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the
    descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of
    journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct
    sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to
    determine 64bitness.
    
    Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so
    many pieces.
    
    Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size
    overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no
    checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.
