[PATCH v5 0/3] Btrfs: add IO error device stats

[Stefan Behrens <sbehrens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Changes v1-v2:
- Remove restriction that BTRFS_IOC_GET_DEVICE_STATS is a privileged
  operation
- Cast u64 to unsigned long long for printf()

Changes v2-v3:
- Rebased on Chris' current master

Changes v3-v4:
- Add padding at end of ioctl structure

Changes v4-v5:
- The statistic members in the ioctl are now organized as an array of
  64 bit values. Symbolic names for the array indexes are defined in
  an enum, which also defines the max value. This change makes it
  easier to add new statistic members in the future
- Give ins_len = -1 to btrfs_search_slot() when an item might get
  deleted
- Introduce a helper function for the repeated sequence stat_int() +
  dirty = 1 + stat_print()
- Introduce a helper function for the code that shares the bio
  bi_private member for two pieces of information

The goal is to detect when drives start to get an increased error rate,
when drives should be replaced soon. Therefore statistic counters are
added that count IO errors (read, write and flush). Additionally, the
software detected errors like checksum errors and corrupted blocks are
counted.

An ioctl interface is added to get the device statistic counters.
A second ioctl is added to atomically get and reset these counters.

The device statistics are written into the device tree with each
transaction commit. Only modified statistics are written.
When a filesystem is mounted, the device statistics for each involved
device are read from the device tree and used to initialize the
counters.

A patch for the btrfs-progs world will also be sent.

Stefan Behrens (3):
  Btrfs: add device counters for detected IO and checksum errors
  Btrfs: add ioctl to get and reset the device stats
  Btrfs: read device stats on mount, write modified ones during commit
