btrfs: always update/create the dev stats item when adding a new device
[MINOR PROBLEM] When adding a new btrfs device, the corresponding DEV_STATS item creation can only triggered by a mount cycle if there is no other error triggered: # mkfs.btrfs -f $dev1 $mnt # mount $dev1 $mnt # btrfs dev add $dev2 $mnt # sync # btrfs ins dump-tree -t dev $dev1 device tree key (DEV_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) leaf 30588928 items 6 free space 15853 generation 9 owner DEV_TREE item 0 key (DEV_STATS PERSISTENT_ITEM 1) itemoff 16243 itemsize 40 <<< persistent item objectid DEV_STATS offset 1 device stats write_errs 0 read_errs 0 flush_errs 0 corruption_errs 0 generation 0 item 1 key (1 DEV_EXTENT 13631488) itemoff 16195 itemsize 48 Only after a mount cycle and a new transaction, the DEV_STATS for devid 2 can show up: # umount $mnt # mount $dev1 $mnt # touch $mnt # sync # btrfs ins dump-tree -t dev $dev1 device tree key (DEV_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) leaf 30605312 items 7 free space 15788 generation 10 owner DEV_TREE item 0 key (DEV_STATS PERSISTENT_ITEM 1) itemoff 16243 itemsize 40 persistent item objectid DEV_STATS offset 1 device stats write_errs 0 read_errs 0 flush_errs 0 corruption_errs 0 generation 0 item 1 key (DEV_STATS PERSISTENT_ITEM 2) itemoff 16203 itemsize 40 persistent item objectid DEV_STATS offset 2 device stats write_errs 0 read_errs 0 flush_errs 0 corruption_errs 0 generation 0 [CAUSE] Btrfs only updates the DEV_STATS item when the device->dev_stats_ccnt counter is not 0. This is to reduce COW for the device tree. However that dev_stats_ccnt is only increased at the following call sites: - btrfs_dev_stat_inc() This happens when some IO error happened. - btrfs_dev_stat_read_and_reset() This happens for GET_DEV_STATS ioctl with BTRFS_DEV_STATS_RESET flag. - btrfs_dev_stat_set() This happens inside btrfs_device_init_dev_stats(). So when a new device is added, its dev_stats_ccnt is just initialized to 0, and btrfs won't create nor update the corresponding DEV_STATS item at all. [ENHANCEMENT] When a new device is added, also increase the dev_stats_ccnt by one. This includes both device add ioctl and dev-replace. This will force btrfs to create a new DEV_STATS item or update the existing one with the correct values. This not only makes the DEV_STATS creation early, but also prevents old DEV_STATS left from older kernels to cause false alerts for the newly added device.
