From 44ac474def527a9c595a88400f4717dacae03b8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Bo Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 18:07:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: do not cache rbio pages if using raid6 recover Since raid6 recover tries all possible combinations of failed stripes, - when raid6 rebuild algorithm is used, i.e. raid6_datap_recov() and raid6_2data_recov(), it may change the in-memory content of failed stripes, if such a raid bio is cached, a later raid write rmw or recover can steal @stripe_pages from it instead of reading from disks, such that it carries the wrong content to do write rmw or recovery and ends up with corruption or recovery failures. - when raid5 rebuild algorithm is used, i.e. xor, raid bio can be cached because the only failed stripe which contains @rbio->bio_pages gets modified, others remain the same so that their in-memory content is consistent with their on-disk content. This adds a check to skip caching rbio if using raid6 recover.
