If CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of a cache set flag is set by too many I/O errors, currently allocator routines can still continue allocate space which may introduce inconsistent metadata state. This patch checkes CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit in following allocator routines, - bch_bucket_alloc() - __bch_bucket_alloc_set() Once CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache set, the allocator routines may reject allocation request earlier to avoid potential inconsistent metadata.
