From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> When constructing a new btree, xfs_btree_bload_node needs to read the btree blocks for level N to compute the keyptrs for the blocks that will be loaded into level N+1. The level N blocks must be formatted at that point. A subsequent patch will change the btree bulkloader to write new btree blocks in 256K chunks to moderate memory consumption if the new btree is very large. As a consequence of that, it's possible that the buffers for lower level blocks might have been reclaimed by the time the node builder comes back to the block. Therefore, change xfs_btree_bload_node to read the lower level blocks to handle the reclaimed buffer case. As a side effect, the read will increase the LRU refs, which will bias towards keeping new btree buffers in memory after the new btree commits. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
