Brian Foster 99c794c639 xfs: skip bmbt block ino validation during owner change
Extent swap uses xfs_btree_visit_blocks() to fix up bmbt block
owners on v5 (!rmapbt) filesystems. The bmbt scan uses
xfs_btree_lookup_get_block() to read bmbt blocks which verifies the
current owner of the block against the parent inode of the bmbt.
This works during extent swap because the bmbt owners are updated to
the opposite inode number before the inode extent forks are swapped.

The modified bmbt blocks are marked as ordered buffers which allows
everything to commit in a single transaction. If the transaction
commits to the log and the system crashes such that recovery of the
extent swap is required, log recovery restarts the bmbt scan to fix
up any bmbt blocks that may have not been written back before the
crash. The log recovery bmbt scan occurs after the inode forks have
been swapped, however. This causes the bmbt block owner verification
to fail, leads to log recovery failure and requires xfs_repair to
zap the log to recover.

Define a new invalid inode owner flag to inform the btree block
lookup mechanism that the current inode may be invalid with respect
to the current owner of the bmbt block. Set this flag on the cursor
used for change owner scans to allow this operation to work at
runtime and during log recovery.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
