Boris Burkov 9484622945 btrfs: keep sb cache_generation consistent with space_cache
When mounting, btrfs uses the cache_generation in the super block to
determine if space cache v1 is in use. However, by mounting with
nospace_cache or space_cache=v2, it is possible to disable space cache
v1, which does not result in un-setting cache_generation back to 0.

In order to base some logic, like mount option printing in /proc/mounts,
on the current state of the space cache rather than just the values of
the mount option, keep the value of cache_generation consistent with the
status of space cache v1.

We ensure that cache_generation > 0 iff the file system is using
space_cache v1. This requires committing a transaction on any mount
which changes whether we are using v1. (v1->nospace_cache, v1->v2,
nospace_cache->v1, v2->v1).

Since the mechanism for writing out the cache generation is transaction
commit, but we want some finer grained control over when we un-set it,
we can't just rely on the SPACE_CACHE mount option, and introduce an
fs_info flag that mount can use when it wants to unset the generation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
