Btrfs: separate sequence numbers for delayed ref tracking and tree mod log
Sequence numbers for delayed refs have been introduced in the first version
of the qgroup patch set. To solve the problem of find_all_roots on a busy
file system, the tree mod log was introduced. The sequence numbers for that
were simply shared between those two users.
However, at one point in qgroup's quota accounting, there's a statement
accessing the previous sequence number, that's still just doing (seq - 1)
just as it would have to in the very first version.
To satisfy that requirement, this patch makes the sequence number counter 64
bit and splits it into a major part (used for qgroup sequence number
counting) and a minor part (incremented for each tree modification in the
log). This enables us to go exactly one major step backwards, as required
for qgroups, while still incrementing the sequence counter for tree mod log
insertions to keep track of their order. Keeping them in a single variable
means there's no need to change all the code dealing with comparisons of two
sequence numbers.
The sequence number is reset to 0 on commit (not new in this patch), which
ensures we won't overflow the two 32 bit counters.
Without this fix, the qgroup tracking can occasionally go wrong and WARN_ONs
from the tree mod log code may happen.
