[REGRESSION] Commit 75b470332965 ("btrfs: raid56: migrate recovery and scrub recovery path to use error_bitmap") changed the behavior of scrub_rbio(). Initially if we have no error reading the raid bio, we will assign @need_check to true, then finish_parity_scrub() would later verify the content of P/Q stripes before writeback. But after that commit we never verify the content of P/Q stripes and just writeback them. This can lead to unrepaired P/Q stripes during scrub, or already corrupted P/Q copied to the dev-replace target. [FIX] The situation is more complex than the regression, in fact the initial behavior is not 100% correct either. If we have the following rare case, it can still lead to the same problem using the old behavior: 0 16K 32K 48K 64K Data 1: |IIIIIII| | Data 2: | | Parity: | |CCCCCCC| | Where "I" means IO error, "C" means corruption. In the above case, we're scrubbing the parity stripe, then read out all the contents of Data 1, Data 2, Parity stripes. But found IO error in Data 1, which leads to rebuild using Data 2 and Parity and got the correct data. In that case, we would not verify if the Parity is correct for range [16K, 32K). So here we have to always verify the content of Parity no matter if we did recovery or not. This patch would remove the @need_check parameter of finish_parity_scrub() completely, and would always do the P/Q verification before writeback.
