Check operations are scheduled when the array is being resynced or an explicit 'check/repair' command was sent to the array. Previously check operations would destroy the parity block in the cache such that even if parity turned out to be correct the parity block would be marked !R5_UPTODATE at the completion of the check. When the operation can be carried out by a dma engine the assumption is that it can check parity as a read-only operation. If raid5_run_ops notices that the check was handled by hardware it will preserve the R5_UPTODATE status of the parity disk. When a check operation determines that the parity needs to be repaired we reuse the existing compute block infrastructure to carry out the operation. Repair operations imply an immediate write back of the data, so to differentiate a repair from a normal compute operation the STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD flag is added.
