When a metadata read is served the endio routine btree_readpage_end_io_hook is called which eventually runs the tree-checker. If tree-checker fails to validate the read eb then it sets EXTENT_BUFFER_CORRUPT flag. This leads to btree_read_extent_buffer_pages wrongly assuming that all available copies of this extent buffer are wrong and failing prematurely. Fix this modify btree_read_extent_buffer_pages to read all copies of the data.
This failure was exhibitted in xfstests btrfs/124 which would spuriously fail its balance operations. The reason was that when balance was run following re-introduction of the missing raid1 disk __btrfs_map_block would map the read request to stripe 0, which corresponded to devid 2 (the disk which is being removed in the test):
item 2 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 3553624064) itemoff 15975 itemsize 112 length 1073741824 owner 2 stripe_len 65536 type DATA|RAID1 io_align 65536 io_width 65536 sector_size 4096 num_stripes 2 sub_stripes 1 stripe 0 devid 2 offset 2156920832 dev_uuid 8466c350-ed0c-4c3b-b17d-6379b445d5c8 stripe 1 devid 1 offset 3553624064 dev_uuid 1265d8db-5596-477e-af03-df08eb38d2ca
This caused read requests for a checksum item that to be routed to the stale disk which triggered the aforementioned logic involving EXTENT_BUFFER_CORRUPT flag. This then triggered cascading failures of the balance operation.
