2007-06-16md: fix bug in error handling during raid1 repairMike Accetta
If raid1/repair (which reads all block and fixes any differences it finds) hits a read error, it doesn't reset the bio for writing before writing correct data back, so the read error isn't fixed, and the device probably gets a zero-length write which it might complain about.

2007-05-23md: fix bug with linear hot-add and elsewhereNeilBrown
Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing... So the patch to make linear hot-add work in the first place introduced a subtle bug elsewhere that interracts poorly with older version of mdadm. This fixes it all up.

2007-05-23md: don't write more than is required of the last page of a bitmapNeilBrown

2007-05-23md: avoid overflow in raid0 calculation with large componentsNeilBrown
If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long, chunk << chunksize_bits can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB). chunk itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG). So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes impossible to hit.

2007-05-11md: improve the is_mddev_idle testNeilBrown
During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are. This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't. The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors of resync io (disk->sync_io). This has problems because total sectors gets updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the request is submitted. The time difference can cause large differenced between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity. The test currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it is not enough. The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or negative. This clearly is not needed. Any non-sync activity will cause the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so we only need to look for a positive differences. If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the appearance of non-sync IO. Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still be suitably responsive.

2007-05-10md: avoid a possibility that a read error can wrongly propagate through ↵NeilBrown
md/raid1 to a filesystem. When a raid1 has only one working drive, we want read error to propagate up to the filesystem as there is no point failing the last drive in an array. Currently the code perform this check is racy. If a write and a read a both submitted to a device on a 2-drive raid1, and the write fails followed by the read failing, the read will see that there is only one working drive and will pass the failure up, even though the one working drive is actually the *other* one. So, tighten up the locking.

2007-05-09Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 5b479c91da90eef605f851508744bfe8269591a0. Quoth Neil Brown: "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't seem easy to fix. The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops. This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been assembled just seems to get more and more painful. I think I'm going to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the rest of the kernel."

2007-05-09md: improve partition detection in md arrayNeilBrown
md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions is call on md array after they are assembled. However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later than some people would like. So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the array has been assembled. This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used to trigger a partition rescan.

2007-05-09md: allow reshape_position for md arrays to be set via sysfsNeilBrown
"reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape" (adding drives, changing layout or chunksize). When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have two possible values, an old an a new. So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new values.

2007-05-09dm log: fix resume failed log deviceJonathan Brassow
This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the log device has failed. When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

2007-05-09dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requestsJonathan Brassow
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync. Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror set.

2007-03-16[PATCH] fix read past end of array in md/linear.cAndy Isaacson
When iterating through an array, one must be careful to test one's index variable rather than another similarly-named variable. The loop will read off the end of conf->disks[] in the following (pathological) case: % dd bs=1 seek=840716287 if=/dev/zero of=d1 count=1 % for i in 2 3 4; do dd if=/dev/zero of=d$i bs=1k count=$(($i+150)); done % ./vmlinux ubd0=root ubd1=d1 ubd2=d2 ubd3=d3 ubd4=d4 # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=4 /dev/ubd[1234] adding some printks, I saw this: [42949374.960000] hash_spacing = 821120 [42949374.960000] cnt = 4 [42949374.960000] min_spacing = 801 [42949374.960000] j=0 size=820928 sz=820928 [42949374.960000] i=0 sz=820928 hash_spacing=820928 [42949374.960000] j=1 size=64 sz=64 [42949374.960000] j=2 size=64 sz=128 [42949374.960000] j=3 size=64 sz=192 [42949374.960000] j=4 size=1515870810 sz=1515871002 Cc: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-03-05[PATCH] md: fix for raid6 reshapeNeilBrown
Recent patch for raid6 reshape had a change missing that showed up in subsequent review. Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of data disks". With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk - conf->max_degraded" or similar. One place was missed. This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the recorded position would be wrong. On restart it would either fail (as the position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the array unreshaped, causing data corruption.
