bcache: introduce BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE for large bucket
When large bucket feature was added, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET was introduced into the incompat feature set. It used bucket_size_hi (which was added at the tail of struct cache_sb_disk) to extend current 16bit bucket size to 32bit with existing bucket_size in struct cache_sb_disk. This is not a good idea, there are two obvious problems, - Bucket size is always value power of 2, if store log2(bucket size) in existing bucket_size of struct cache_sb_disk, it is unnecessary to add bucket_size_hi. - Macro csum_set() assumes d[SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS] is the last member in struct cache_sb_disk, bucket_size_hi was added after d[] which makes csum_set calculate an unexpected super block checksum. To fix the above problems, this patch introduces a new incompat feature bit BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE, when this bit is set, it means bucket_size in struct cache_sb_disk stores the order of power-of-2 bucket size value. When user specifies a bucket size larger than 32768 sectors, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE will be set to incompat feature set, and bucket_size stores log2(bucket size) more than store the real bucket size value. The obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET won't be used anymore, it is renamed to BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET and still only recognized by kernel driver for legacy compatible purpose. The previous bucket_size_hi is renmaed to obso_bucket_size_hi in struct cache_sb_disk and not used in bcache-tools anymore. For cache device created with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET feature, bcache-tools and kernel driver still recognize the feature string and display it as "obso_large_bucket". With this change, the unnecessary extra space extend of bcache on-disk super block can be avoided, and csum_set() may generate expected check sum as well.
