Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has
been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used
to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older
log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure).
While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and
mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat
this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log
unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this
occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a
problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might
have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest
previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified
and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log
recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption.
This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated
userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem
and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at
mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on,
trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is
detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we
do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a
known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct
the user how to recover.

If xfs_da3_node_read_verify() doesn't recognize the magic number of a
buffer it's just read, set the buffer error to -EFSCORRUPTED so that
the error can be sent up to userspace. Without this patch we'll
notice the bad magic eventually while trying to traverse or change
the block, but we really ought to fail early in the verifier.

The node directory lookup code uses a state structure that tracks the
path of buffers used to search for the hash of a filename through the
leaf blocks. When the lookup encounters a block that ends with the
requested hash, but the entry has not yet been found, it must shift over
to the next block and continue looking for the entry (i.e., duplicate
hashes could continue over into the next block). This shift mechanism
involves walking back up and down the state structure, replacing buffers
at the appropriate btree levels as necessary.
When a buffer is replaced, the old buffer is released and the new buffer
read into the active slot in the path structure. Because the buffer is
read directly into the path slot, a buffer read failure can result in
setting a NULL buffer pointer in an active slot. This throws off the
state cleanup code in xfs_dir2_node_lookup(), which expects to release a
buffer from each active slot. Instead, a BUG occurs due to a NULL
pointer dereference:

This has been reproduced via a parallel fsstress and filesystem shutdown
workload in a loop. The shutdown triggers the read error in the
aforementioned codepath and causes the BUG in xfs_dir2_node_lookup().
Update xfs_da3_path_shift() to update the active path slot atomically
with respect to the caller when a buffer is replaced. This ensures that
the caller always sees the old or new buffer in the slot and prevents
the NULL pointer dereference.

This adds a new superblock field, sb_meta_uuid. If set, along with
a new incompat flag, the code will use that field on a V5 filesystem
to compare to metadata UUIDs, which allows us to change the user-
visible UUID at will. Userspace handles the setting and clearing
of the incompat flag as appropriate, as the UUID gets changed; i.e.
setting the user-visible UUID back to the original UUID (as stored in
the new field) will remove the incompatible feature flag.
If the incompat flag is not set, this copies the user-visible UUID into
into the meta_uuid slot in memory when the superblock is read from disk;
the meta_uuid field is not written back to disk in this case.
The remainder of this patch simply switches verifiers, initializers,
etc to use the new sb_meta_uuid field.
