Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: do not cache rbio pages if using raid6 recover
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 18:07:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180113010702.25612-2-bo.li.liu@oracle.com> (raw)

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.
