xfs: distinguish between inobt and finobt magic values

Browse source

The inode btree verifier code is shared between the inode btree and
free inode btree because the underlying metadata formats are
essentially equivalent. A side effect of this is that the verifier
cannot determine whether a particular btree block should have an
inobt or finobt magic value.

This logic allows an unfortunate xfs_repair bug to escape detection
where certain level > 0 nodes of the finobt are stamped with inobt
magic by xfs_repair finobt reconstruction. This is fortunately not a
severe problem since the inode btree magic values do not contribute
to any changes in kernel behavior, but we do need a means to detect
and prevent this problem in the future.

Add a field to xfs_buf_ops to store the v4 and v5 superblock magic
values expected by a particular verifier. Add a helper to check an
on-disk magic value against the value expected by the verifier. Call
the helper from the shared [f]inobt verifier code for magic value
verification. This ensures that the inode btree blocks each have the
appropriate magic value based on specific tree type and superblock
version.
