btrfs: update stripe_sectors::uptodate in steal_rbio
[ Upstream commit 4d10046613333508d31fe926c545c8c0b620508a ]
[BUG]
With added debugging, it turns out the following write sequence would
cause extra read which is unnecessary:
# xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -b 32k 0 32k" -c "pwrite -b 32k 32k 32k" \
-c "pwrite -b 32k 64k 32k" -c "pwrite -b 32k 96k 32k" \
$mnt/file
The debug message looks like this (btrfs header skipped):

This means every 32K writes, even they are in the same full stripe,
still trigger read for previously cached data.
This would cause extra RAID56 IO, making the btrfs raid56 cache useless.
[CAUSE]
Commit d4e28d9b5f04 ("btrfs: raid56: make steal_rbio() subpage
compatible") tries to make steal_rbio() subpage compatible, but during
that conversion, there is one thing missing.
We no longer rely on PageUptodate(rbio->stripe_pages[i]), but
rbio->stripe_nsectors[i].uptodate to determine if a sector is uptodate.
This means, previously if we switch the pointer, everything is done,
as the PageUptodate flag is still bound to that page.
But now we have to manually mark the involved sectors uptodate, or later
raid56_rmw_stripe() will find the stolen sector is not uptodate, and
assemble the read bio for it, wasting IO.
[FIX]
We can easily fix the bug, by also update the
rbio->stripe_sectors[].uptodate in steal_rbio().
With this fixed, now the same write pattern no longer leads to the same
unnecessary read:
