Description

While porting zero copy patch to RHEL6 we have found some corruptions during IO while raid5/6 reconstruction. I think it's should be affect to RHEL5 also.

it's easy to replicated by

echo 32 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
echo 0 > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/<ost_name>/writethrough_cache_enable
echo 0 > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/<ost_name>/read_cache_enable

and fail one of disks with
mdadm /dev/mdX --fail /dev/....

after it verify data is correct.

after work problem identified as two bugs in zcopy patch.
1) raid5 set a flag UPTODATE to stripe with staled pointers from DIO and try to copy data from these pointers during READ phase.

2) restoring pages from stripe cache issue.

please verify it's issue on RHEL5 env (we don't have it's now).
