There are known prior bugs which leave junk at the end of the V4 superblock; we don't need to actually fail the verification in this case if other checks pan out ok. So if this is a secondary superblock, and the primary superblock doesn't indicate that this is a V5 filesystem, don't treat this as an actual checksum failure. We should probably check the garbage condition as we do in xfs_repair, and possibly warn about it or self-heal, but that's a different scope of work. Stable folks: This can go back to v3.10, which is what introduced the sb CRC checking that is tripped up by old, stale, incorrect V4 superblocks w/ unzeroed bits.

Bem <geyslan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 30 16:01:00 2013 -0500 xfs: fix possible NULL dereference in xlog_verify_iclog In xlog_verify_iclog a debug check of the incore log buffers prints an error if icptr is null and then goes on to dereference the pointer regardless. Convert this to an assert so that the intention is clear. This was reported by Coverty.

Failing to do this means we open up the direct relcaim stack to recurse into the filesystem and consume a significant amount of stack. On RHEL6.4 kernels we are seeing ra_submit() and generic_file_splice_read() from an nfsd context recursing into the filesystem via the inode cache shrinker and evicting inodes. This is causing truncation to be run (e.g EOF block freeing) and causing bmap btree block merges and free space btree block splits to occur. These btree manipulations are occurring with the call chain already 30 functions deep and hence there is not enough stack space to complete such operations. To avoid these specific overruns, we need to prevent the page cache allocation from recursing via direct reclaim. We can do that because the allocation functions take the allocation context from that which is stored in the mapping for the inode. We don't set that right now, so the default is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which is effectively a GFP_KERNEL context. We need it to be the equivalent of GFP_NOFS, so when we initialise an inode, set the mapping gfp mask appropriately. This makes the use of AOP_FLAG_NOFS redundant from other parts of the XFS IO path, so get rid of it.
