xfs: Add helper for checking per-inode extent count overflow
XFS does not check for possible overflow of per-inode extent counter
fields when adding extents to either data or attr fork.
For e.g.
1. Insert 5 million xattrs (each having a value size of 255 bytes) and
then delete 50% of them in an alternating manner.
2. On a 4k block sized XFS filesystem instance, the above causes 98511
extents to be created in the attr fork of the inode.
xfsaild/loop0 2008 [003] 1475.127209: probe:xfs_inode_to_disk: (
ffffffffa43fb6b0) if_nextents=98511 i_ino=131
3. The incore inode fork extent counter is a signed 32-bit
quantity. However the on-disk extent counter is an unsigned 16-bit
quantity and hence cannot hold 98511 extents.
4. The following incorrect value is stored in the attr extent counter,
# xfs_db -f -c 'inode 131' -c 'print core.naextents' /dev/loop0
core.naextents = -32561
This commit adds a new helper function (i.e.
xfs_iext_count_may_overflow()) to check for overflow of the per-inode
data and xattr extent counters. Future patches will use this function to
make sure that an FS operation won't cause the extent counter to
overflow.
