When constructing a new btree, xfs_btree_bload_node needs to read the btree blocks for level N to compute the keyptrs for the blocks that will be loaded into level N+1. The level N blocks must be formatted at that point. A subsequent patch will change the btree bulkloader to write new btree blocks in 256K chunks to moderate memory consumption if the new btree is very large. As a consequence of that, it's possible that the buffers for lower level blocks might have been reclaimed by the time the node builder comes back to the block. Therefore, change xfs_btree_bload_node to read the lower level blocks to handle the reclaimed buffer case. As a side effect, the read will increase the LRU refs, which will bias towards keeping new btree buffers in memory after the new btree commits. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
