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.
