[PATCH] Btrfs: don''t allow device replace on RAID5/RAID6
This is not yet supported and causes crashes. One sad user reported
that it destroyed his filesystem.
One failure is in __btrfs_map_block+0xc1f calling kmalloc(0).
0x5f21f is in __btrfs_map_block (fs/btrfs/volumes.c:4923).
4918 num_stripes = map->num_stripes;
4919 max_errors = nr_parity_stripes(map);
4920
4921 raid_map = kmalloc(sizeof(u64) * num_stripes,
4922 GFP_NOFS);
4923 if (!raid_map) {
4924 ret = -ENOMEM;
4925 goto out;
4926 }
4927
There might be more issues. Until this is really tested, don''t allow
users to start the procedure on RAID5/RAID6 filesystems.
