> crc is recalculated using corrupted bit

Why would it need to recalculate the CRC? The correct CRC (or other hash) for the data is already stored in the metadata trees; it's how it discovered that the data was corrupted in the first place. If it writes back corrupted data, it will be detected as corrupted again the next time.



Because CRC is in the on-disk data structure, not in the in-ram data structure. It is stripped upon reading to ram, and created upon writing to disk.

That's how bcachefs is designed right now.


No, we carefully carry around existing checksums when moving data.

Page cache is a different story, but doesn't apply to what we're talking about here.
