From: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
xfstests btrfs/070 sometimes failed.
In my test machine, its fail rate is about 30%.
In another vm(vmware), its fail rate is about 50%.
Reason:
btrfs/070 do replace and defrag with fsstress simultaneously,
after above operation, checksum error is found by scrub.
Actually, it have no relationship with defrag operation, only
replace with fsstress can trigger this bug.
New data writen to target device have possibility rewrited by
old data from source device by replace code in debug, to avoid
above problem, we can set target block group to readonly in
replace period, so new data requested by other operation will
not write to same place with replace code.
Before patch(4.1-rc3):
30% failed in 100 xfstests.
After patch:
0% failed in 300 xfstests.
Changelog v1->v2:
1: Update subject to reflect the problem being fixed.
2: Update description to say reason why set read-only can fix the
problem.
3: Use a helper function to avoid duplicated code block for set
chunk ro.
All of above are suggested by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxx>
