    Btrfs: check UUID tree during mount if required · 70f80175
    Stefan Behrens authored
    If the filesystem was mounted with an old kernel that was not
    aware of the UUID tree, this is detected by looking at the
    uuid_tree_generation field of the superblock (similar to how
    the free space cache is doing it). If a mismatch is detected
    at mount time, a thread is started that does two things:
    1. Iterate through the UUID tree, check each entry, delete those
       entries that are not valid anymore (i.e., the subvol does not
       exist anymore or the value changed).
    2. Iterate through the root tree, for each found subvolume, add
       the UUID tree entries for the subvolume (if they are not
       already there).
    
    This mechanism is also used to handle and repair errors that
    happened during the initial creation and filling of the tree.
    The update of the uuid_tree_generation field (which indicates
    that the state of the UUID tree is up to date) is blocked until
    all create and repair operations are successfully completed.
