    xfs: read leaf blocks when computing keys for bulkloading into node blocks · 26de6462
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    When constructing a new btree, xfs_btree_bload_node needs to read the
    btree blocks for level N to compute the keyptrs for the blocks that will
    be loaded into level N+1.  The level N blocks must be formatted at that
    point.
    
    A subsequent patch will change the btree bulkloader to write new btree
    blocks in 256K chunks to moderate memory consumption if the new btree is
    very large.  As a consequence of that, it's possible that the buffers
    for lower level blocks might have been reclaimed by the time the node
    builder comes back to the block.
    
    Therefore, change xfs_btree_bload_node to read the lower level blocks
    to handle the reclaimed buffer case.  As a side effect, the read will
    increase the LRU refs, which will bias towards keeping new btree buffers
    in memory after the new btree commits.
