Anand Jain 4bcbfac98d btrfs: fix false EIO for missing device
[ Upstream commit 102ed2c5ff ]

When one of the device is missing, bbio_error() takes care of setting
the error status. And if its only IO that is pending in that stripe, it
fails to check the status of the other IO at %bbio_error before setting
the error %bi_status for the %orig_bio. Fix this by checking if
%bbio->error has exceeded the %bbio->max_errors.

Reproducer as below fdatasync error is seen intermittently.

 mount -o degraded /dev/sdc /btrfs
 dd status=none if=/dev/zero of=$(mktemp /btrfs/XXX) bs=4096 count=1 conv=fdatasync

 dd: fdatasync failed for ‘/btrfs/LSe’: Input/output error

 The reason for the intermittences of the problem is because
 the following conditions have to be met, which depends on timing:
 In btrfs_map_bio()
  - the RAID1 the missing device has to be at %dev_nr = 1
 In bbio_error()
  . before bbio_error() is called the bio of the not-missing
    device at %dev_nr = 0 must be completed so that the below
    condition is true
     if (atomic_dec_and_test(&bbio->stripes_pending)) {

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
