The previous patch add clear_buffer_verified() before we read metadata block from disk again, but it's rather easy to miss clearing of this bit because currently we read metadata buffer through different open codes (e.g. ll_rw_block(), bh_submit_read() and invoke submit_bh() directly). So, it's time to add common helpers to unify in all the places reading metadata buffers instead. This patch add 3 helpers: - ext4_read_bh_nowait(): async read metadata buffer if it's actually not uptodate, clear buffer_verified bit before read from disk. - ext4_read_bh(): sync version of read metadata buffer, it will wait until the read operation return and check the return status. - ext4_read_bh_lock(): try to lock the buffer before read buffer, it will skip reading if the buffer is already locked. After this patch, we need to use these helpers in all the places reading metadata buffer instead of different open codes.

README
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.
