    Btrfs: catch invalid free space trees · 6675df31
    Omar Sandoval authored
    There are two separate issues that can lead to corrupted free space
    trees.
    
    1. The free space tree bitmaps had an endianness issue on big-endian
       systems which is fixed by an earlier patch in this series.
    2. btrfs-progs before v4.7.3 modified filesystems without updating the
       free space tree.
    
    To catch both of these issues at once, we need to force the free space
    tree to be rebuilt. To do so, add a FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID compat_ro bit.
    If the bit isn't set, we know that it was either produced by a broken
    big-endian kernel or may have been corrupted by btrfs-progs.
    
    This also provides us with a way to add rudimentary read-write support
    for the free space tree to btrfs-progs: it can just clear this bit and
    have the kernel rebuild the free space tree.
