This patchset implement the device scrub/replace function for RAID56, the most implementation of the common data is similar to the other RAID type. The differentia or difficulty is the parity process. The basic idea is reading and check the data which has checksum out of the raid56 stripe lock, if the data is right, then lock the raid56 stripe, read out the other data in the same stripe, if no IO error happens, calculate the parity and check the original one, if the original parity is right, the scrub parity passes. or write out the new one. But if the common data(not parity) that we read out is wrong, we will try to recover it, and then check and repair the parity.
And in order to avoid making the code more and more complex, we copy some code of common data process for the parity, the cleanup work is in my TODO list. We have done some test, the patchset worked well. Of course, more tests are welcome. If you are interesting to use it or test it, you can pull the patchset from https://github.com/miaoxie/linux-btrfs.git raid56-scrub-replace Changelog v3 -> v4: - Fix the problem that the scrub's raid bio was cached, which was reported by Chris. - Remove the 10st patch, the deadlock that was described in that patch doesn't exist on the current kernel. - Rebase the patchset to the top of integration branch Changelog v2 -> v3: - Fix wrong stripe start logical address calculation which was reported by Chris. - Fix unhandled raid bios for parity scrub, which are added into the plug list of the head raid bio. - Fix possible deadlock caused by the pending bios in the plug list when the io submitters were going to sleep. - Fix undealt use-after-free problem of the source device in the final device replace procedure. - Modify the code that is used to avoid the rbio merge. Changelog v1 -> v2: - Change some function names in raid56.c to make them fit the code style of the raid56.
