btrfs: more graceful errors/warnings on 32bit systems when reaching limits
Btrfs uses internally mapped u64 address space for all its metadata.
Due to the page cache limit on 32bit systems, btrfs can't access
metadata at or beyond (ULONG_MAX + 1) << PAGE_SHIFT. See
how MAX_LFS_FILESIZE and page::index are defined. This is 16T for 4K
page size while 256T for 64K page size.
Users can have a filesystem which doesn't have metadata beyond the
boundary at mount time, but later balance can cause it to create
metadata beyond the boundary.
And modification to MM layer is unrealistic just for such minor use
case. We can't do more than to prevent mounting such filesystem or warn
early when the numbers are still within the limits.
To address such problem, this patch will introduce the following checks:
- Mount time rejection
This will reject any fs which has metadata chunk at or beyond the
boundary.
- Mount time early warning
If there is any metadata chunk beyond 5/8th of the boundary, we do an
early warning and hope the end user will see it.
- Runtime extent buffer rejection
If we're going to allocate an extent buffer at or beyond the boundary,
reject such request with EOVERFLOW.
This is definitely going to cause problems like transaction abort, but
we have no better ways.
- Runtime extent buffer early warning
If an extent buffer beyond 5/8th of the max file size is allocated, do
an early warning.
Above error/warning message will only be printed once for each fs to
reduce dmesg flood.
If the mount is rejected, the filesystem will be mountable only on a
64bit host.
