For Btrfs RAID56, we have a caching system for btrfs raid bios (rbio). We call cache_rbio_pages() to mark a qualified rbio ready for cache. The timing happens at: - finish_rmw() At this timing, we have already read all necessary sectors, along with the rbio sectors, we have covered all data stripes. - __raid_recover_end_io() At this timing, we have rebuild the rbio, thus all data sectors involved (either from stripe or bio list) are uptodate now. Thus at the timing of cache_rbio_pages(), we should have all data sectors uptodate. This patch will make it explicit that all data sectors are uptodate at cache_rbio_pages() timing, mostly to prepare for the incoming verification at RMW time. This patch will add: - Extra ASSERT()s in cache_rbio_pages() This is to make sure all data sectors, which are not covered by bio, are already uptodate. - Extra ASSERT()s in steal_rbio() Since only cached rbio can be stolen, thus every data sector should already be uptodate in the source rbio. - Update __raid_recover_end_io() to update recovered sector->uptodate Previously __raid_recover_end_io() will only mark failed sectors uptodate if it's doing an RMW. But this can trigger new ASSERT()s, as for recovery case, a recovered failed sector will not be marked uptodate, and trigger ASSERT() in later cache_rbio_pages() call.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
