Dave Chinner ddeb14f4fb xfs: quiesce the filesystem after recovery on readonly mount
Recently we've had a number of reports where log recovery on a v5
filesystem has reported corruptions that looked to be caused by
recovery being re-run over the top of an already-recovered
metadata. This has uncovered a bug in recovery (fixed elsewhere)
but the vector that caused this was largely unknown.

A kdump test started tripping over this problem - the system
would be crashed, the kdump kernel and environment would boot and
dump the kernel core image, and then the system would reboot. After
reboot, the root filesystem was triggering log recovery and
corruptions were being detected. The metadumps indicated the above
log recovery issue.

What is happening is that the kdump kernel and environment is
mounting the root device read-only to find the binaries needed to do
it's work. The result of this is that it is running log recovery.
However, because there were unlinked files and EFIs to be processed
by recovery, the completion of phase 1 of log recovery could not
mark the log clean. And because it's a read-only mount, the unmount
process does not write records to the log to mark it clean, either.
Hence on the next mount of the filesystem, log recovery was run
again across all the metadata that had already been recovered and
this is what triggered corruption warnings.

To avoid this problem, we need to ensure that a read-only mount
always updates the log when it completes the second phase of
recovery. We already handle this sort of issue with rw->ro remount
transitions, so the solution is as simple as quiescing the
filesystem at the appropriate time during the mount process. This
results in the log being marked clean so the mount behaviour
recorded in the logs on repeated RO mounts will change (i.e. log
recovery will no longer be run on every mount until a RW mount is
done). This is a user visible change in behaviour, but it is
harmless.
