    Btrfs: don't allow degraded mount if too many devices are missing · 292fd7fc
    Stefan Behrens authored
    The current behavior is to allow mounting or remounting a filesystem
    writeable in degraded mode if at least one writeable device is
    present.
    The next failed write access to a missing device which is above
    the tolerance of the configured level of redundancy results in an
    read-only enforcement. Even without this, the next time
    barrier_all_devices() is called and more devices are missing than
    tolerable, the switch to read-only mode takes place.
    
    In order to behave predictably and to provide proper feedback to
    the user at mount time, this patch compares the number of missing
    devices with the number of devices that are tolerated to be missing
    according to the configured RAID level. If more devices are missing
    than tolerated, e.g. if two devices are missing in case of RAID1,
    only a read-only mount and remount is allowed.
