xfs: fix inode number overflow in ifree cluster helper
Qian Cai reports seemingly random buffer read verifier errors during filesystem writeback. This was isolated to a recent patch that factored out some inode cluster freeing code and happened to cast an unsigned inode number type to a signed value. If the inode number value overflows, we can skip marking in-core inodes associated with the underlying buffer stale at the time the physical inodes are freed. If such an inode happens to be dirty, xfsaild will eventually attempt to write it back over non-inode blocks. The invalidation of the underlying inode buffer causes writeback to read the buffer from disk. This fails the read verifier (preventing eventual corruption) if the buffer no longer looks like an inode cluster. Analysis by Dave Chinner. Fix up the helper to use the proper type for inode number values.
