cover btrfs: separate BLOCK_GROUP_TREE feature from extent-tree-v2

This is the kernel part to revive block-group-tree feature.

Thanfully unlike btrfs-progs, the changes to kernel is much smaller, and we can re-use most of the infrastructures from the extent-tree-v2 preparation patches.

But there are still some changes needed:

- Enhance unsupporter compat RO flags handling
Extent tree is only needed for read-write opeartions, and for unsupported compat RO flags, we should not do any write into the fs.

So this patch will make the kernel to skip block group items search if there is any unsupport RO compat flags.

And really make the incoming block-group-tree feature compat RO.

Unfortunately, we need that patch to be backported, or older kernels will still reject RO mounts of fses with block-group-tree feature.

- Don't store block group root into super block
There is no special reason for block group root to be stored in super block.
We should review those preparation patches with more scrutiny.

For the proper time reduction introduced by this patchset, the old data should still be correct, as the on-disk format is not changed.

PATCH 1/3 btrfs: enhance unsupported compat RO flags handling

Currently there are two corner cases not handling compat RO flags correctly:

- Remount
We can still mount the fs RO with compat RO flags, then remount it RW. We should not allow any write into a fs with unsupported RO flags.

- Still try to search block group items
In fact, behavior/on-disk format change to extent tree should not need a full incompat flag.

And since we can ensure fs with unsupported RO flags never got any writes (with above case fixed), then we can even skip block group items search at mount time.

This patch will enhance the unsupported RO compat flags by:

- Reject RW remount if there is unsupported RO compat flags

- Go dummy block group items directly for unsupported RO compat flags In fact, only changes to chunk/subvolume/root/csum trees should go incompat flags.

The latter part should allow future change to extent tree to be compat RO flags.

Thus this patch also needs to be backported to all stable trees.

PATCH 2/3 btrfs: don't save block group root into super block

In reply to Qu Wenruo

The extent tree v2 (thankfully not yet fully materialized) needs a new root for storing all block group items.

My initial proposal years ago just added a new tree rootid, and load it from tree root, just like what we did for quota/free space tree/uuid/extent roots.

But the extent tree v2 patches introduced a completely new (and to me, wasteful) way to store block group tree root into super block.

Currently there are only 3 trees stored in super blocks, and they all have their valid reasons:

- Chunk root
Needed for bootstrap.

- Tree root
Really the entrance of all trees.

- Log root
This is special as log root has to be updated out of existing transaction mechanism.

There is not even any reason to put block group root into super blocks, the block group tree is updated at the same timing as old extent tree, no need for extra bootstrap/out-of-transaction update.

So just move block group root from super block into tree root.

PATCH 3/3 btrfs: separate BLOCK_GROUP_TREE compat RO flag from EXTENT_TREE_V2

In reply to Qu Wenruo

The problem of long mount time caused by block group item search is already known for over 7 years, and the solution of block group tree is proposed at least for 5 years.

There is really no need to bound this feature into extent tree v2, just introduce compat RO flag, BLOCK_GROUP_TREE, to correctly solve the problem.

All the code handling block group root is already in the upstream kernel, thus this patch really only needs to introduce the new compat RO flag.
