Btrfs: fix hash overflow handling
The handling for directory crc hash overflows was fairly obscure, split_leaf returns EOVERFLOW when we try to extend the item and that is supposed to bubble up to userland. For a while it did so, but along the way we added better handling of errors and forced the FS readonly if we hit IO errors during the directory insertion. Along the way, we started testing only for EEXIST and the EOVERFLOW case was dropped. The end result is that we may force the FS readonly if we catch a directory hash bucket overflow. This fixes a few problem spots. First I add tests for EOVERFLOW in the places where we can safely just return the error up the chain. btrfs_rename is harder though, because it tries to insert the new directory item only after it has already unlinked anything the rename was going to overwrite. Rather than adding very complex logic, I added a helper to test for the hash overflow case early while it is still safe to bail out. Snapshot and subvolume creation had a similar problem, so they are using the new helper now too. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@fusionio.com> Reported-by: Pascal Junod <pascal@junod.info>
