The backup_root_index member stores the index at which the backup root
should be saved upon next transaction commit. However, there is a
small deviation from this behavior in the form of a check in
backup_super_roots which checks if current root generation equals to the
generation of the previous root. This can trigger in the following
scenario:
slot0: gen-2
slot1: gen-1
slot2: gen
slot3: unused
Now suppose slot3 (which is also the root specified in the super block)
is corrupted hence init_tree_roots chooses to use the backup root at
slot2, meaning read_backup_root will read slot2 and assign the
superblock generation to gen-1. Despite this backup_root_index will
point at slot3 because its init happens in init_backup_root_slot, long
before any parsing of the backup roots occur. Then on next transaction
start, gen-1 will be incremented by 1 making the root's generation
equal gen. Subsequently, on transaction commit the following check
triggers:
if (btrfs_backup_tree_root_gen(root_backup) ==
btrfs_header_generation(info->tree_root->node))
This causes the 'next_backup', which is the index at which the backup is
going to be written to, to set to last_backup, which will be slot2.
All of this is a very confusing way of expressing the following
invariant:
Always write a backup root at the index following the last used backup
root.
This commit streamlines this logic by setting backup_root_index to the
next index after the one used for mount.
