Both scrub and read-repair are utilizing a special repair writes that: - Only writes back to a single device Even for read-repair on RAID56, we only update the corrupted data stripe itself, not triggering the full RMW path. - Requires a valid @mirror_num For RAID56 case, only @mirror_num == 1 is valid. For non-RAID56 cases, we need @mirror_num to locate our stripe. - No data csum generation needed These two call sites still have some differences though: - Read-repair goes plain bio It doesn't need a full btrfs_bio, and goes submit_bio_wait(). - New scrub repair would go btrfs_bio To simplify both read and write path. So here this patch would: - Introduce a common helper, btrfs_map_repair_block() Due to the single device nature, we can use an on-stack btrfs_io_stripe to pass device and its physical bytenr. - Introduce a new interface, btrfs_submit_repair_bio(), for later scrub code This is for the incoming scrub code.

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.
