The device replace procedure makes use of the scrub code. The scrub
code is the most efficient code to read the allocated data of a disk,
i.e. it reads sequentially in order to avoid disk head movements, it
skips unallocated blocks, it uses read ahead mechanisms, and it
contains all the code to detect and repair defects.
This commit is a first preparation step to adapt the scrub code to
be shareable for the device replace procedure.
The block device will be removed from the scrub context state
structure in a later step. It used to be the source block device.
The scrub code as it is used for the device replace procedure reads
the source data from whereever it is optimal. The source device might
even be gone (disconnected, for instance due to a hardware failure).
Or the drive can be so faulty so that the device replace procedure
tries to avoid access to the faulty source drive as much as possible,
and only if all other mirrors are damaged, as a last resort, the
source disk is accessed.
The modified scrub code operates as if it would handle the source
drive and thereby generates an exact copy of the source disk on the
target disk, even if the source disk is not present at all. Therefore
the block device pointer to the source disk is removed in a later
patch, and therefore the context structure is renamed (this is the
goal of the current patch) to reflect that no source block device
scope is there anymore.
Summary:
This first preparation step consists of a textual substitution of the
term "dev" to the term "ctx" whereever the scrub context is used.
