Since all the recovery paths have been migrated to the new error bitmap based system, we can remove the old stripe number based system. This cleanup involves one behavior change: - Rebuild rbio can no longer be merged Previously a rebuild rbio (caused by retry after data csum mismatch) can be merged, if the error happens in the same stripe. But with the new error bitmap based solution, it's much harder to compare error bitmaps. So here we just don't merge rebuild rbio at all. This may introduce some performance impact at extreme corner cases, but we're willing to take it. Other than that, this patch will cleanup the following members: - rbio::faila - rbio::failb They will be replaced by per-vertical stripe check, which is more accurate. - rbio::error It will be replace by per-vertical stripe error bitmap check. - Allow get_rbio_vertical_errors() to accept NULL pointers for @faila and @failb Some call sites only want to check if we have errors beyond the tolerance.

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.
