Thanks for pointing this out.


Although previous patch is small enough, but for remount case, we need
to iterate all the existing chunk cache.

  yes indeed.

  thinking hard on this - is there any test-case that these two patches
are solving, which the original patch [1] didn't solve ?

Yep, your patch is OK to fix single chunk on safe disk case.
But IMHO, it's a little aggressive and not safe as old codes.

For example, if one use single metadata for 2 disks, and each disk has one metadata chunk on it.

One device got missing later.

Then your patch will allow the fs to be mounted as rw, even some tree block can be in the missing device. For RO case, it won't be too dangerous, but if we mounted it as RW, who knows what will happen. (Normal tree COW thing should fail before real write, but I'm not sure about other RW operation like scrub/replace/balance and others)

And I think that's the original design concept behind the old missing device number check, and it's not a bad idea to follow it anyway.

For the patch size, I find a good idea to handle it, and should make the patch(set) size below 200 lines.

Further more, it's even possible to make btrfs change mount option to degraded for runtime device missing.

Thanks,

  I tried to break both the approaches (this patch set and [1]) but I
wasn't successful. sorry if I am missing something.

Thanks, Anand

[1] [PATCH 23/23] Btrfs: allow -o rw,degraded for single group profile


So fix for remount will take a little more time.

Thanks for reviewing.

As we do per-chunk missing device number check at read_one_chunk()
time,
it's not needed to do global missing device number check.

Just remove it.

However the missing device count, what we have during the remount is not
fine grained per chunk.

Now btrfs can handle the following case:
  # mkfs.btrfs -f -m raid1 -d single /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

  Data chunk will be located in sdb, so we should be safe to wipe sdc
  # wipefs -a /dev/sdc

  # mount /dev/sdb /mnt/btrfs -o degraded
