[BUG]
Even before the scrub rework, if we have some corrupted metadata failed
to be repaired during replace, we still continue replace and let it
finish just as there is nothing wrong:

  BTRFS info (device dm-4): dev_replace from /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 (devid 1) to /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 started   BTRFS warning (device dm-4): tree block 5578752 mirror 1 has bad csum, has 0x00000000 want 0xade80ca1   BTRFS warning (device dm-4): tree block 5578752 mirror 0 has bad csum, has 0x00000000 want 0xade80ca1   BTRFS warning (device dm-4): checksum error at logical 5578752 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1, physical 5578752: metadata leaf (level 0) in tree 5   BTRFS warning (device dm-4): checksum error at logical 5578752 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1, physical 5578752: metadata leaf (level 0) in tree 5   BTRFS error (device dm-4): bdev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 1, gen 0   BTRFS warning (device dm-4): tree block 5578752 mirror 1 has bad bytenr, has 0 want 5578752   BTRFS error (device dm-4): unable to fixup (regular) error at logical 5578752 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1   BTRFS info (device dm-4): dev_replace from /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 (devid 1) to /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 finished

This can lead to unexpected problems for the result fs.

[CAUSE]
Btrfs reuses scrub code path for dev-replace to iterate all dev extents.

But unlike scrub, dev-replace doesn't really bother to check the scrub
progress, which records all the errors found during replace.

And even if we checks the progress, we can not really determine which
errors are minor, which are critical just by the plain numbers.
(remember we don't treat metadata/data checksum error differently).

This behavior is there from the very beginning.

[FIX]
Instead of continue the replace, just error out if we hit an unrepaired
metadata sector.

Now the dev-replace would be rejected with -EIO, to inform the user.
Although it also means, the fs has some metadata error which can not be
repaired, the user would be super upset anyway.

IMO, the original design is fair as it does not capture scrub errors
during the replace. Because the purpose of the scrub is different from
the replace from the user POV.

The problem is, after such replace, the corrupted metadata would have different content (we just don't do the writeback at all). Even worse, the end user is not even aware of the problem, unless dmesg is manually checked.

This means we changed the result fs during the replace, which removes the tiny chance to do a manual repair (aka, manually re-generate the checksum).

However, after the replace, if scrubbed it will still capture any
errors? No?

It's not about scrub after scrub. Such replace should not even finish.

The new dmesg would look like this:

I'm not sure how should we merge this patch.

The misc-next is already merging the new scrub code, but the problem is
there for all old kernels thus we need such fixes.

Maybe we can merge this fix before the scrub rework, then the rework,
and finally the better fix using reworked interface?
