In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: handle case when repair happens with dev-replace

[BUG] There is a bug report that a BUG_ON() in btrfs_repair_io_failure() (originally repair_io_failure() in v6.0 kernel) got triggered when replacing a unreliable disk:

[CAUSE]

Before the BUG_ON(), we got some read errors from the replace target first, note the mirror number (3, which is beyond RAID1 duplication, thus its read from the replace target device).

Then at the BUG_ON() location, we are trying to writeback the repaired sectors back the failed device.

The check looks like this:

	ret = btrfs_map_block(fs_info, BTRFS_MAP_WRITE, logical,
			      &map_length, &bioc, mirror_num);
	if (ret)
		goto out_counter_dec;
	BUG_ON(mirror_num != bioc->mirror_num);

But inside btrfs_map_block(), we can modify bioc->mirror_num especially for dev-replace:

if (dev_replace_is_ongoing && mirror_num == map->num_stripes + 1 &&
    !need_full_stripe(op) && dev_replace->tgtdev != NULL) {
	ret = get_extra_mirror_from_replace(fs_info, logical, *length,
					    dev_replace->srcdev->devid,
					    &mirror_num,
				    &physical_to_patch_in_first_stripe);
	patch_the_first_stripe_for_dev_replace = 1;
}

Thus if were repairing the replace target device, were going to trigger that BUG_ON().

But in reality, the read failure from the replace target device may be that, our replace hasnt reached the range were reading, thus were reading garbage, but with replace running, the range would be properly filled later.

Thus in that case, we dont need to do anything but let the replace routine to handle it.

[FIX] Instead of a BUG_ON(), just skip the repair if were repairing the device replace target device.
