xfs: don't account buffer cancellation during log recovery readahead

Browse source

When doing readhaead in log recovery, we check to see if buffers are
cancelled before doing readahead. If we find a cancelled buffer,
however, we always decrement the reference count we have on it, and
that means that readahead is causing a double decrement of the
cancelled buffer reference count.

This results in log recovery *replaying cancelled buffers* as the
actual recovery pass does not find the cancelled buffer entry in the
commit phase of the second pass across a transaction. On debug
kernels, this results in an ASSERT failure like so:

XFS: Assertion failed: !(flags & XFS_BLF_CANCEL), file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 1815

xfstests generic/311 reproduces this ASSERT failure with 100%
reproducability.

Fix it by making readahead only peek at the buffer cancelled state
rather than the full accounting that xlog_check_buffer_cancelled()
does.
