Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: prevent WARNING in nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage()

If nilfs2 reads a disk image with corrupted segment usage metadata,
and its segment usage information is marked as an error for the segment
at the write location, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() can trigger
WARN_ONs during log writing.

Segments newly allocated for writing with nilfs_sufile_alloc() will not
have this error flag set, but this unexpected situation will occur if
the segment indexed by either nilfs->ns_segnum or nilfs->ns_nextnum
(active segment) was marked in error.

Fix this issue by inserting a sanity check to treat it as a file system
corruption.

Since error returns are not allowed during the execution phase where
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is used, this inserts the sanity check
into nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() which pre-reads the buffer containing the
segment usage record to be updated and sets it up in a dirty state for
writing.

In addition, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is also called when
canceling log writing and undoing segment usage update, so in order to
avoid issuing the same kernel warning in that case, in case of
cancellation, avoid checking the error flag in
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage().

Andrew, please apply this patch.  This resolves one unexpected kernel
WARNING issue reported by syzbot.

Thanks,
