The libxfs_log_clear() helper currently zeroes the log and writes a single log record such that the kernel code detects the log has been zeroed and mounts successfully. This is not sufficient for v5 filesystems, which must have the log cleared to an LSN that is guaranteed to be ahead of any LSN that has been previously stamped into on-disk metadata. Update libxfs_log_clear() to support the ability to format the log to an arbitrary cycle number. First, the log is physically zeroed. A log record is written to the first block of the log with the desired lsn and refers to the tail_lsn as the last record of the previous cycle. The rest of the log is filled with log records of the previous cycle. This causes the kernel to set the current LSN to start of the desired cycle number at mount time.
