btrfs: only write the sectors in the vertical stripe which has data stripes
commit bd8f7e627703ca5707833d623efcd43f104c7b3f upstream.
If we have only 8K partial write at the beginning of a full RAID56
stripe, we will write the following contents:
0 8K 32K 64K
Disk 1 (data): |XX| | |
Disk 2 (data): | | |
Disk 3 (parity): |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|
|X| means the sector will be written back to disk.
Note that, although we won't write any sectors from disk 2, but we will
write the full 64KiB of parity to disk.
This behavior is fine for now, but not for the future (especially for
RAID56J, as we waste quite some space to journal the unused parity
stripes).
So here we will also utilize the btrfs_raid_bio::dbitmap, anytime we
queue a higher level bio into an rbio, we will update rbio::dbitmap to
indicate which vertical stripes we need to writeback.
And at finish_rmw(), we also check dbitmap to see if we need to write
any sector in the vertical stripe.
So after the patch, above example will only lead to the following
writeback pattern:
0 8K 32K 64K
Disk 1 (data): |XX| | |
Disk 2 (data): | | |
Disk 3 (parity): |XX| | |
