The struct xfs_agfl v5 header was originally introduced with
unexpected padding that caused the AGFL to operate with one less
slot than intended. The header has since been packed, but the fix
left an incompatibility for users who upgrade from an old kernel
with the unpacked header to a newer kernel with the packed header
while the AGFL happens to wrap around the end. The newer kernel
recognizes one extra slot at the physical end of the AGFL that the
previous kernel did not. The new kernel will eventually attempt to
allocate a block from that slot, which contains invalid data, and
cause a crash.
This condition can be detected by comparing the active range of the
AGFL to the count. While this detects a padding mismatch, it can
also trigger false positives for unrelated flcount corruption. Since
we cannot distinguish a size mismatch due to padding from unrelated
corruption, we can't trust the AGFL enough to simply repopulate the
empty slot.
Instead, avoid unnecessarily complex detection logic and and use a
solution that can handle any form of flcount corruption that slips
through read verifiers: distrust the entire AGFL and reset it to an
empty state. Any valid blocks within the AGFL are intentionally
leaked. This requires xfs_repair to rectify (which was already
necessary based on the state the AGFL was found in). The reset
mitigates the side effect of the padding mismatch problem from a
filesystem crash to a free space accounting inconsistency. The
generic approach also means that this patch can be safely backported
to kernels with or without a packed struct xfs_agfl.
Check the AGF for an invalid freelist count on initial read from
disk. If detected, set a flag on the xfs_perag to indicate that a
reset is required before the AGFL can be used. In the first
transaction that attempts to use a flagged AGFL, reset it to empty,
warn the user about the inconsistency and allow the freelist fixup
code to repopulate the AGFL with new blocks. The xfs_perag flag is
cleared to eliminate the need for repeated checks on each block
allocation operation.

v2:
- Function rename and logic cleanup.
- CC stable.
v1: https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=152104784709048&w=2
- Use a simplified AGFL reset mechanism.
- Trigger on AGFL fixup rather than get/put.
- Various refactors, cleanups and comments.
