Darrick J. Wong e21fea4ac3 xfs: fix di_onlink checking for V1/V2 inodes
"KjellR" complained on IRC that an old V4 filesystem suddenly stopped
mounting after upgrading from 6.9.11 to 6.10.3, with the following splat
when trying to read the rt bitmap inode:

00000000: 49 4e 80 00 01 02 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  IN..............
00000010: 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 d2 a9 da 21 0f d6 30  ........C...!..0

00000060: ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
00000070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

As Dave Chinner points out, this is a V1 inode with both di_onlink and
di_nlink set to 1 and di_flushiter == 0.  In other words, this inode was
formatted this way by mkfs and hasn't been touched since then.

Back in the old days of xfsprogs 3.2.3, I observed that libxfs_ialloc
would set di_nlink, but if the filesystem didn't have NLINK, it would
then set di_version = 1.  libxfs_iflush_int later sees the V1 inode and
copies the value of di_nlink to di_onlink without zeroing di_onlink.

Eventually this filesystem must have been upgraded to support NLINK
because 6.10 doesn't support !NLINK filesystems, which is how we tripped
over this old behavior.  The filesystem doesn't have a realtime section,
so that's why the rtbitmap inode has never been touched.

Fix this by removing the di_onlink/di_nlink checking for all V1/V2
inodes because this is a muddy mess.  The V3 inode handling code has
always supported NLINK and written di_onlink==0 so keep that check.
The removal of the V1 inode handling code when we dropped support for
!NLINK obscured this old behavior.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
