[ Upstream commit 8810f7517a3bc4ca2d41d022446d3f5fd6b77c09 ]
There is a scenario that can end up with rebuild process failing to return good content, i.e. suppose that all disks can be read without problems and if the content that was read out doesn't match its checksum, currently for raid6 btrfs at most retries twice,
- the 1st retry is to rebuild with all other stripes, it'll eventually be a raid5 xor rebuild, - if the 1st fails, the 2nd retry will deliberately fail parity p so that it will do raid6 style rebuild,
however, the chances are that another non-parity stripe content also has something corrupted, so that the above retries are not able to return correct content, and users will think of this as data loss. More seriouly, if the loss happens on some important internal btree roots, it could refuse to mount.
This extends btrfs to do more retries and each retry fails only one stripe. Since raid6 can tolerate 2 disk failures, if there is one more failure besides the failure on which we're recovering, this can always work.
The worst case is to retry as many times as the number of raid6 disks, but given the fact that such a scenario is really rare in practice, it's still acceptable.
