[ Upstream commit f9eab5f0bba76742af654f33d517bf62a0db8f12 ]
[BUG] The following script shows that, although scrub can detect super block errors, it never tries to fix it:
mkfs.btrfs -f -d raid1 -m raid1 $dev1 $dev2 xfs_io -c "pwrite 67108864 4k" $dev2
mount $dev1 $mnt btrfs scrub start -B $dev2 btrfs scrub start -Br $dev2 umount $mnt
The first scrub reports the super error correctly:
scrub done for f3289218-abd3-41ac-a630-202f766c0859 Scrub started: Tue Aug 2 14:44:11 2022 Status: finished Duration: 0:00:00 Total to scrub: 1.26GiB Rate: 0.00B/s Error summary: super=1 Corrected: 0 Uncorrectable: 0 Unverified: 0
But the second read-only scrub still reports the same super error:
Scrub started: Tue Aug 2 14:44:11 2022 Status: finished Duration: 0:00:00 Total to scrub: 1.26GiB Rate: 0.00B/s Error summary: super=1 Corrected: 0 Uncorrectable: 0 Unverified: 0
[CAUSE] The comments already shows that super block can be easily fixed by committing a transaction:
/* * If we find an error in a super block, we just report it. * They will get written with the next transaction commit * anyway */
But the truth is, such assumption is not always true, and since scrub should try to repair every error it found (except for read-only scrub), we should really actively commit a transaction to fix this.
[FIX] Just commit a transaction if we found any super block errors, after everything else is done.
We cannot do this just after scrub_supers(), as btrfs_commit_transaction() will try to pause and wait for the running scrub, thus we can not call it with scrub_lock hold.
