[BUG]
Since the introduction of per-fs feature sysfs interface
(/sys/fs/btrfs/<UUID>/features/), the content of that directory is never
updated.
Thus for the following case, that directory will not show the new
features like RAID56:
# mkfs.btrfs -f $dev1 $dev2 $dev3
# mount $dev1 $mnt
# btrfs balance start -f -mconvert=raid5 $mnt
# ls /sys/fs/btrfs/$uuid/features/
extended_iref free_space_tree no_holes skinny_metadata
While after unmount and mount, we got the correct features:
# umount $mnt
# mount $dev1 $mnt
# ls /sys/fs/btrfs/$uuid/features/
extended_iref free_space_tree no_holes raid56 skinny_metadata
[CAUSE]
Because we never really try to update the content of per-fs features/
directory.
We had an attempt to update the features directory dynamically in commit
14e46e0495 ("btrfs: synchronize incompat feature bits with sysfs
files"), but unfortunately it get reverted in commit e410e34fad
("Revert "btrfs: synchronize incompat feature bits with sysfs files"").
The problem in the original patch is, in the context of
btrfs_create_chunk(), we can not afford to update the sysfs group.
The exported but never utilized function, btrfs_sysfs_feature_update()
is the leftover of such attempt. As even if we go sysfs_update_group(),
new files will need extra memory allocation, and we have no way to
specify the sysfs update to go GFP_NOFS.
[FIX]
This patch will address the old problem by doing asynchronous sysfs
update in the cleaner thread.
This involves the following changes:
- Make __btrfs_(set|clear)_fs_(incompat|compat_ro) helpers to set
BTRFS_FS_FEATURE_CHANGED flag when needed
- Update btrfs_sysfs_feature_update() to use sysfs_update_group()
And drop unnecessary arguments.
- Call btrfs_sysfs_feature_update() in cleaner_kthread
If we have the BTRFS_FS_FEATURE_CHANGED flag set.
- Wake up cleaner_kthread in btrfs_commit_transaction if we have
BTRFS_FS_FEATURE_CHANGED flag
By this, all the previously dangerous call sites like
btrfs_create_chunk() need no new changes, as above helpers would
have already set the BTRFS_FS_FEATURE_CHANGED flag.
The real work happens at cleaner_kthread, thus we pay the cost of
delaying the update to sysfs directory, but the delayed time should be
small enough that end user can not distinguish though it might get
delayed if the cleaner thread is busy with removing subvolumes or
defrag.

This is a large patch, but because they're all macros it's impossible to
split up. Simply copy all of the item accessors in ctree.h and paste
them in accessors.h, and then update any files to include the header so
everything compiles.

We have a bunch of printk helpers that are in ctree.h. These have
nothing to do with ctree.c, so move them into their own header.
Subsequent patches will cleanup the printk helpers.

We have several fs wide related helpers in ctree.h. The bulk of these
are the incompat flag test helpers, but there are things such as
btrfs_fs_closing() and the read only helpers that also aren't directly
related to the ctree code. Move these into a fs.h header, which will
serve as the location for file system wide related helpers.
