Btrfs currently uses num_tolerated_disk_barrier_failures to do global
check for tolerated missing device.

Although the one-size-fit-all solution is quite safe, it's too strict if
data and metadata has different duplication level.

For example, if one use Single data and RAID1 metadata for 2 disks, it
means any missing device will make the fs unable to be degraded mounted.

But in fact, some times all single chunks may be in the existing device
and in that case, we should allow it to be rw degraded mounted.

Such case can be easily reproduced using the following script:
 # mkfs.btrfs -f -m raid1 -d sing /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
 # wipefs -f /dev/sdc
 # mount /dev/sdb -o degraded,rw

If using btrfs-debug-tree to check /dev/sdb, one should find that the
data chunk is only in sdb, so in fact it should allow degraded mount.

This patchset will introduce a new per-chunk degradable check for btrfs,
allow above case to succeed, and it's quite small anyway.

And enhance kernel error message for missing device, at least kernel can
know what's making mount failed, other than meaningless
"failed to read system chunk/chunk tree -5".

v2:
  Update after almost 2 years.
  Add the last patch to enhance the kernel output, so user can know it's
  missing devices prevent btrfs to mount.

Qu Wenruo (6):
  btrfs: Introduce a function to check if all chunks a OK for degraded
    rw mount
  btrfs: Do chunk level rw degrade check at mount time
  btrfs: Do chunk level degradation check for remount
  btrfs: Allow barrier_all_devices to do chunk level device check
  btrfs: Cleanup num_tolerated_disk_barrier_failures
  btrfs: Enhance missing device kernel message
