xfs: skip verification on initial "guess" superblock read When xfs_readsb() does the very first read of the superblock, it makes a guess at the length of the buffer, based on the sector size of the underlying storage. This may or may not match the filesystem sector size in sb_sectsize, so we can't i.e. do a CRC check on it; it might be too short. In fact, mounting a filesystem with sb_sectsize larger than the device sector size will cause a mount failure if CRCs are enabled, because we are checksumming a length which exceeds the buffer passed to it. So always read twice; the first time we read with NULL buffer ops to skip verification; then set the proper read length, hook up the proper verifier, and give it another go. Once we are sure that we've got the right buffer length, we can also use bp->b_length in the xfs_sb_read_verify, rather than the less-trusted on-disk sectorsize for secondary superblocks. Before this we ran the risk of passing junk to the crc32c routines, which didn't always handle extreme values.
