Now that we've plumbed in the ability to construct a list of dead btree
blocks following a repair, add more helpers to dispose of them.  This is
done by examining the rmapbt -- if the btree was the only owner we can
free the block, otherwise it's crosslinked and we can only remove the
rmapbt record.

with all these pag lookups, I'm starting to wonder if you should
just add a lookup and store the pag in the scrub context? That'd
save a lot of lookups - the pag structures never go away and i never
really intended them to be used like this in single, very short use
contexts. Grab once per operation, hold the reference across the
entire operation context, then release it....

Because this is how it quickly gets it gets to silly numbers of
lookups. That's two now in this function.

Why is having an empty freelist a problem here? It's an AG thatis
completely out of space, but it isn't corruption? And I don't see
why an empty freelist prevents us from adding a backs back onto the
AGFL?

There's another pag lookup in here.

And another in here, so 4 perag lookups for the same structure in
one simple operation. The code here in the function is fine, but I
really think we need to rethink how we use the perag in our
allocation code...

Why do we just remove the reverse mapping if the block cannot be
freed? I have my suspicions that this is removing cross-links one by
one until there's only one reference left to the extent, but then I
ask "how do we know which one is the correct mapping"?

i.e. this comment raised more questions about the algorithm for
dealing with cross-linked blocks - which doesn't appear to be
explained anywhere - than it answers....

Ok, so there's a little more detail about cross-linked files. Seems
my suspicions of "remove and hope" were close to the mark :P

Perhaps we need a document that describes the various algorithms we
use for resolving these problems, so they can be discussed and
improved without having to troll through the code to understand?

So why do we do this one block at a time, rather than freeing it
as an entire extent in one go? And if there is only a single caller,
why not just open code the loop in the caller?

+		}
Again, this is doing things by single blocks. We do have multi-block
metadata (inodes, directory blocks, remote attrs) that, if it
is already in memory, needs to be treated as multi-block extents. If
we don't do that, we'll cause aliasing problems in the buffer cache
(see _xfs_buf_obj_cmp()) and it's all downhill from there.

That's why I get worried when I see assumptions that we can process
contiguous metadata ranges in single block buffers....

Cheers,

Dave.
