Xiubo Li d43219bb33 ceph: do not update snapshot context when there is no new snapshot
[ Upstream commit 2e586641c950e7f3e7e008404bd783a466b9b590 ]

We will only track the uppest parent snapshot realm from which we
need to rebuild the snapshot contexts _downward_ in hierarchy. For
all the others having no new snapshot we will do nothing.

This fix will avoid calling ceph_queue_cap_snap() on some inodes
inappropriately. For example, with the code in mainline, suppose there
are 2 directory hierarchies (with 6 directories total), like this:

/dir_X1/dir_X2/dir_X3/
/dir_Y1/dir_Y2/dir_Y3/

Firstly, make a snapshot under /dir_X1/dir_X2/.snap/snap_X2, then make a
root snapshot under /.snap/root_snap. Every time we make snapshots under
/dir_Y1/..., the kclient will always try to rebuild the snap context for
snap_X2 realm and finally will always try to queue cap snaps for dir_Y2
and dir_Y3, which makes no sense.

That's because the snap_X2's seq is 2 and root_snap's seq is 3. So when
creating a new snapshot under /dir_Y1/... the new seq will be 4, and
the mds will send the kclient a snapshot backtrace in _downward_
order: seqs 4, 3.

When ceph_update_snap_trace() is called, it will always rebuild the from
the last realm, that's the root_snap. So later when rebuilding the snap
context, the current logic will always cause it to rebuild the snap_X2
realm and then try to queue cap snaps for all the inodes related in that
realm, even though it's not necessary.

This is accompanied by a lot of these sorts of dout messages:

    "ceph:  queue_cap_snap 00000000a42b796b nothing dirty|writing"

Fix the logic to avoid this situation.

Also, the 'invalidate' word is not precise here. In actuality, it will
cause a rebuild of the existing snapshot contexts or just build
non-existent ones. Rename it to 'rebuild_snapcs'.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
