    btrfs: zoned: relocate block group to repair IO failure in zoned filesystems · f7ef5287

    When a bad checksum is found and if the filesystem has a mirror of the
    damaged data, we read the correct data from the mirror and writes it to
    damaged blocks. This however, violates the sequential write constraints
    of a zoned block device.
    
    We can consider three methods to repair an IO failure in zoned filesystems:
    
    (1) Reset and rewrite the damaged zone
    (2) Allocate new device extent and replace the damaged device extent to
        the new extent
    (3) Relocate the corresponding block group
    
    Method (1) is most similar to a behavior done with regular devices.
    However, it also wipes non-damaged data in the same device extent, and
    so it unnecessary degrades non-damaged data.
    
    Method (2) is much like device replacing but done in the same device. It
    is safe because it keeps the device extent until the replacing finish.
    However, extending device replacing is non-trivial. It assumes
    "src_dev->physical == dst_dev->physical". Also, the extent mapping
    replacing function should be extended to support replacing device extent
    position in one device.
    
    Method (3) invokes relocation of the damaged block group and is
    straightforward to implement. It relocates all the mirrored device
    extents, so it potentially is a more costly operation than method (1) or
    (2). But it relocates only used extents which reduce the total IO size.
    
    Let's apply method (3) for now. In the future, we can extend device-replace
    and apply method (2).
    
    For protecting a block group gets relocated multiple time with multiple
    IO errors, this commit introduces "relocating_repair" bit to show it's
    now relocating to repair IO failures. Also it uses a new kthread
    "btrfs-relocating-repair", not to block IO path with relocating process.
    
    This commit also supports repairing in the scrub process.
