    btrfs: relax block-group-tree feature dependency checks · d7f67ac9

    [BUG]
    When one user did a wrong attempt to clear block group tree, which can
    not be done through mount option, by using "-o clear_cache,space_cache=v2",
    it will cause the following error on a fs with block-group-tree feature:
    
      BTRFS info (device dm-1): force clearing of disk cache
      BTRFS info (device dm-1): using free space tree
      BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing free space tree
      BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing compat-ro feature flag for FREE_SPACE_TREE (0x1)
      BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing compat-ro feature flag for FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID (0x2)
      BTRFS error (device dm-1): block-group-tree feature requires fres-space-tree and no-holes
      BTRFS error (device dm-1): super block corruption detected before writing it to disk
      BTRFS: error (device dm-1) in write_all_supers:4318: errno=-117 Filesystem corrupted (unexpected superblock corruption detected)
      BTRFS warning (device dm-1: state E): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
    
    [CAUSE]
    Although the dependency for block-group-tree feature is just an
    artificial one (to reduce test matrix), we put the dependency check into
    btrfs_validate_super().
    
    This is too strict, and during space cache clearing, we will have a
    window where free space tree is cleared, and we need to commit the super
    block.
    
    In that window, we had block group tree without v2 cache, and triggered
    the artificial dependency check.
    
    This is not necessary at all, especially for such a soft dependency.
    
    [FIX]
    Introduce a new helper, btrfs_check_features(), to do all the runtime
    limitation checks, including:
    
    - Unsupported incompat flags check
    
    - Unsupported compat RO flags check
    
    - Setting missing incompat flags
    
    - Artificial feature dependency checks
      Currently only block group tree will rely on this.
    
    - Subpage runtime check for v1 cache
    
    With this helper, we can move quite some checks from
    open_ctree()/btrfs_remount() into it, and just call it after
    btrfs_parse_options().
    
    Now "-o clear_cache,space_cache=v2" will not trigger the above error
    anymore.
