From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
btrfs/271 was failing with the subpage blocksize VM's. This is because
there's an assumption made that the device error counters are
per-sector, but they're per-io. With a 16kib pagesize and a 4k
sectorsize/nodesize the threshold was expecting 16 failed IO's, but
instead we were getting 5.
This other gotcha here is that with the tree log we will write the log
tree first, and then update the log root tree with the location of the
log tree root node. With pagesize == nodesize this is fine, we will
only write the log tree root node. However with subpage blocksize both
of these nodes could be on the same page, and thus they are both written
out during that initial write. When we update the pointer for the log
root tree we will COW the log root tree root node and submit another IO,
resulting in 3 metadata IO's instead of 2.
Fix the failure case to be < 4 blocks, which is the minimum number of
IO's we should be seeing.
