btrfs: raid56: fix scrub read assembly submitting no reads
Commit 5387bd958180 ("btrfs: raid56: remove sector_ptr structure")
converted the bio-list membership checks from sector pointers to
physical addresses. The two conversions in rmw_assemble_write_bios()
kept their polarity (skip the sector when it is NOT in the bio list,
i.e. when there is nothing to write), but scrub_assemble_read_bios()
has the opposite polarity -- skip the sector when it IS in the bio
list, because then there is nothing to read -- and the conversion
flipped it:
- sector = sector_in_rbio(rbio, stripe, sectornr, 1);
- if (sector)
+ paddr = sector_paddr_in_rbio(rbio, stripe, sectornr, 1);
+ if (paddr == INVALID_PADDR)
continue;
Since a parity-scrub rbio's bio list only holds the empty completion
bio, the result is that scrub_assemble_read_bios() submits no reads at
all. finish_parity_scrub() then compares the parity it computes from
the (cached, correct) data stripes against whatever happens to be in
the freshly allocated, uninitialized stripe pages:
- if the garbage differs from the computed parity, the sector is
"repaired" and written back -- accidentally producing the correct
on-disk result;
- if a recycled page happens to still hold the old (correct) parity
content, the sector is deemed clean, dropped from dbitmap, and the
actually-corrupt on-disk parity is left in place. (Scrub reports
no errors either way: there is no counter for P/Q corruption by
design, so the bug here is purely the failure to read and repair.)
The second case is intermittent because it depends on page-allocator
recycling. Observed with fstests btrfs/297 (raid5, 2 devices): the
corrupted P stripe intermittently stays corrupt after a scrub --
roughly 1/10 runs on x86-64 KVM and up to 7/8 on a UML build whose
timing favors page reuse.
Since the bio-list check can never be true for a parity-scrub rbio --
raid56_parity_alloc_scrub_rbio() adds a single empty completion bio
(asserting bi_size == 0), bio_paddrs[] is only populated by
index_rbio_pages() which is never called for BTRFS_RBIO_PARITY_SCRUB,
and rbio_can_merge() refuses to merge rbios of different operations --
remove the dead check entirely and assert the invariant instead, as
suggested by Qu Wenruo.
After this fix the injected corruption is read, detected and repaired
in every run (8/8 UML, 10/10 KVM), and the new assertion never fires
across the full fstests raid group.
