Motivation and Context
Backport of scrubbing change for 2.1.6. Issue #13555.
Description
When scrubbing a raidz/draid pool, which contains a replacing or
sparing mirror with multiple online children, only one child will
be read. This is not normally a serious concern because the DTL
records are used to determine where a good copy of the data is.
As long as the data can be read from one child the mirror vdev
will use it to repair gaps in any of its children. Furthermore,
even if the data which was read is corrupt the raidz code will
detect this and issue its own repair I/O to correct the damage
in the mirror vdev.
However, in the scenario where the DTL is wrong due to silent
data corruption (say due to overwriting one child) and the scrub
happens to read from a child with good data, then the other damaged
mirror child will not be detected nor repaired.
While this is possible for both raidz and draid vdevs, it's most
pronounced when using draid. This is because by default the zed
will sequentially rebuild a draid pool to a distributed spare,
and the distributed spare half of the mirror is always preferred
since it delivers better performance. This means the damaged
half of the mirror will go undetected even after scrubbing.
For system administrations this behavior is non-intuitive and in
a worst case scenario could result in the only good copy of the
data being unknowingly detached from the mirror.
This change resolves the issue by reading all replacing/sparing
mirror children when scrubbing. When the BP isn't available for
verification, then compare the data buffers from each child. They
must all be identical, if not there's silent damage and an error
is returned to prompt the top-level vdev to issue a repair I/O to
rewrite the data on all of the mirror children. Since we can't
tell which child was wrong a checksum error is logged against the
replacing or sparing mirror vdev.
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested in the master branch for several weeks and by the new
and existing test cases.
