xfs: add buffer pre-write callback

Browse source

Add a callback to the buffer write path to enable verification of
the buffer and CRC calculation prior to issuing the write to the
underlying storage.

If the callback function detects some kind of failure or error
condition, it must mark the buffer with an error so that the caller
can take appropriate action. In the case of xfs_buf_ioapply(), a
corrupt metadta buffer willt rigger a shutdown of the filesystem,
because something is clearly wrong and we can't allow corrupt
metadata to be written to disk.
