Filipe Manana fd79927c81 btrfs: fix inode lookup error handling during log replay
[ Upstream commit 5f61b961599acbd2bed028d3089105a1f7d224b8 ]

When replaying log trees we use read_one_inode() to get an inode, which is
just a wrapper around btrfs_iget_logging(), which in turn is a wrapper for
btrfs_iget(). But read_one_inode() always returns NULL for any error
that btrfs_iget_logging() / btrfs_iget() may return and this is a problem
because:

1) In many callers of read_one_inode() we convert the NULL into -EIO,
   which is not accurate since btrfs_iget() may return -ENOMEM and -ENOENT
   for example, besides -EIO and other errors. So during log replay we
   may end up reporting a false -EIO, which is confusing since we may
   not have had any IO error at all;

2) When replaying directory deletes, at replay_dir_deletes(), we assume
   the NULL returned from read_one_inode() means that the inode doesn't
   exist and then proceed as if no error had happened. This is wrong
   because unless btrfs_iget() returned ERR_PTR(-ENOENT), we had an
   actual error and the target inode may exist in the target subvolume
   root - this may later result in the log replay code failing at a
   later stage (if we are "lucky") or succeed but leaving some
   inconsistency in the filesystem.

So fix this by not ignoring errors from btrfs_iget_logging() and as
a consequence remove the read_one_inode() wrapper and just use
btrfs_iget_logging() directly. Also since btrfs_iget_logging() is
supposed to be called only against subvolume roots, just like
read_one_inode() which had a comment about it, add an assertion to
btrfs_iget_logging() to check that the target root corresponds to a
subvolume root.

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.
