If a bcachefs filesystem is configured with a background device (disk group), rebalance will relocate data to this device in the background by checking extent keys for whether they currently reside in the specified target. For keys that do not, rebalance performs a read/write cycle to allow the write path to properly relocate data. If the background target is not usable (read-only, for example), however, the write path doesn't actually move data to another device. Instead, rebalance spins indefinitely reading and rewriting the same data over and over to the same device. If the background target is made available again, the rebalance picks this up, relocates the data, and eventually terminates. To avoid this spinning behavior, update the rebalance background target logic to not only check whether the extent is not in the target, but whether the target is actually usable as well. If not, then don't mark the key for rewrite. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
