Copygc needs to be able to move extents that have bitrotted. We don't want to delete them - in the future we'll have an API for "read me the data even if there's checksum errors", and in general we don't want to delete anything unless the user asks us to. That will require writing it with a new checksum, which means we can't forget that there was a checksum error so we return the correct error to userspace. Rebalance also wants to skip bad extents; we can now use the poison flag for that. This is currently disabled by default, as we want read fua support so that we can distinguish between transient and permanent errors from the device. It may be enabled with the module parameter: poison_extents_on_checksum_error 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 reStructuredText 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.
