Darrick J. Wong aa7bfb537e xfs: separate healthy clearing mask during repair
In commit d9041681dd we introduced some XFS_SICK_*ZAPPED flags so
that the inode record repair code could clean up a damaged inode record
enough to iget the inode but still be able to remember that the higher
level repair code needs to be called.  As part of that, we introduced a
xchk_mark_healthy_if_clean helper that is supposed to cause the ZAPPED
state to be removed if that higher level metadata actually checks out.
This was done by setting additional bits in sick_mask hoping that
xchk_update_health will clear all those bits after a healthy scrub.

Unfortunately, that's not quite what sick_mask means -- bits in that
mask are indeed cleared if the metadata is healthy, but they're set if
the metadata is NOT healthy.  fsck is only intended to set the ZAPPED
bits explicitly.

If something else sets the CORRUPT/XCORRUPT state after the
xchk_mark_healthy_if_clean call, we end up marking the metadata zapped.
This can happen if the following sequence happens:

1. Scrub runs, discovers that the metadata is fine but could be
   optimized and calls xchk_mark_healthy_if_clean on a ZAPPED flag.
   That causes the ZAPPED flag to be set in sick_mask because the
   metadata is not CORRUPT or XCORRUPT.

2. Repair runs to optimize the metadata.

3. Some other metadata used for cross-referencing in (1) becomes
   corrupt.

4. Post-repair scrub runs, but this time it sets CORRUPT or XCORRUPT due
   to the events in (3).

5. Now the xchk_health_update sets the ZAPPED flag on the metadata we
   just repaired.  This is not the correct state.

Fix this by moving the "if healthy" mask to a separate field, and only
ever using it to clear the sick state.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
