The current sync_action for an array can be one of idle - nothing happening resync - reduncancy being recalcualted recover - missing device being recoverred to spare check - user initiated check of redundancy repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores bitmap optimisation. Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause that action to happen (if appropriate). While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I think it is the most servicable word here. Also 'action' is a strong word than 'mode'. Signed-off-by: -

There are a few loose ends following the conversion of md to use kthreads: - Some fields in mdk_thread_t that aren't needed (kthreads does it's own completion and manages it's own name). - thread->run is now never NULL, so no need to check - Some tests for signal_pending that aren't needed (As we don't use signals to stop threads any more) - Some flush_signals are not needed - Some waits are interruptible and don't need to be.

The 'auto-readonly' flag (which suppresses resync and superblock updates until the first write) is not meaningful for personalities that don't support resync or superblock writes (raid0, linear, etc). So clear the setting early to avoid it confusing anything - e.g. appearing in /proc/mdstat Signed-off-by:

The introduction of 'resync=PENDING' (for read-only devices) caused that message to appear for non-syncable arrays like raid0 and linear. Simplest thing is to not try to print any resync info unless the personality clearly supports it. Signed-off-by:

Some, but not all, md array support data redundancy and hence support checking and restoring that redundancy (resync, rebuild). Some attributes apply specifically to functions involving this redundancy, and so should only appear for md arrays for which they are meaningful. i.e. they should not appear for raid0, linear, multpath, faulty. This patch separates these into a distinct group and creates the group only if the personality supports sync_request. Signed-off-by:

1/ I really should be using the __ATTR macros for defining attributes, so that the .owner field get set properly, otherwise modules can be removed while sysfs files are open. This also involves some name changes of _show routines. 2/ Always lock the mddev (against reconfiguration) for all sysfs attribute access. This easily avoid certain races and is completely consistant with other interfaces (ioctl and /proc/mdstat both always lock against reconfiguration). 3/ raid5 attributes must check that the 'conf' structure actually exists (the array could have been stopped while an attribute file was open). 4/ A missing 'kfree' from when the raid5_conf_t was converted to have a kobject embedded, and then converted back again.

A sync of raid5 usually ignore blocks which the bitmap says are in-sync. But a user-request check or repair should not ignore these. Signed-off-by:

Raid1 currently optimises resync using the intent bitmap etc. This optimisation is not wanted when we explicitly request a repair through sysfs, so add appropriate checks. Signed-off-by:

If a block_device is a partition, then it's kobject is bdev->bd_part->kobj otherwise (if it is a full device), the kobject is bdev->bd_disk->kobj As md wants back-links to the correct object (whether partition or not), we need to respect this difference... (Thus current code shows a link to the whole device, whether we are using a partition or not, which is wrong). Signed-off-by:

When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may commense. This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image. So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set to '1' at boot, at module load, or via /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives. The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'. Signed-off-by:

With version-0.90 superblock, component devices on an md device to not have any stable name related to the array -(version-1 assigns a fixed index when a device is added to an array, and this remains despit any hot-swap). The intial code for making these devices appear in sysfs used dynamic names, which would change whenever a hot-spare was swapped for a failed or missing device. This turns out not to be practical in sysfs for a number of reasons. This patch changes then naming of component devices to be based on the result of 'bdevname'. This is stable and should be unique.

We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle barriers, and that can, of course, change with time.... So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers, and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers. We initially assumes barriers are OK. When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly. If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag. When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this, and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find. We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid. It should only happen if: 1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices change like this, though raid1 can! or 2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

Current bitmaps use set_bit et.al and so are host-endian, which means not-portable. Oops. Define a new version number (4) for which bitmaps are little-endian. Signed-off-by:

Two refinements to the 'attempt-overwrite-on-read-error' mechanism. 1/ If the array is read-only, don't attempt an over-write. 2/ If there are more than max_nr_stripes read errors on a device with no success, fail the drive. This will make sure a dead drive will be eventually kicked even when we aren't trying to rewrite (which would normally kick a dead drive more quickly. Signed-off-by:

There isn't really a need for raid5 attributes to be an a subdirectory, so this patch moves them from /sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/attribute to /sys/block/mdX/md/attribute This suggests that all md personalities should co-operate about namespace usage, but that shouldn't be a problem. Signed-off-by:

1/ Use reduce stack usage, because 'gcc' apparently doesn't overlay different variables that are in separate scopes... 2/ Use test_bit instead of ( .. & 1<< ..) which in this case is buggy. Thanks to Andrew Morton Signed-off-by:

With this, raid5 can be asked to check parity without repairing it. It also keeps a count of the number of incorrect parity blocks found (mismatches) and reports them through sysfs. Signed-off-by:

You can trigger a 'check' with echo check > /sys/block/mdX/md/scan_mode or a check-and-repair errors with echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/scan_mode and read the current state from the same file. Note: personalities need to know the different between 'check' and 'repair', but don't yet. Until they do, 'check' will be the same as 'repair' and will just do a normal resync pass. Signed-off-by:

/sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/ contains raid5-related attributes. Currently stripe_cache_size is number of entries in stripe cache, and is settable. stripe_cache_active is number of active entries, and in only readable. Signed-off-by:

Each device in an md array how has a corresponding /sys/block/mdX/md/devNN/ directory which can contain attributes. Currently there is only 'state' which summarises the state, nd 'super' which has a copy of the superblock, and 'block' which is a symlink to the block device. Also, /sys/block/mdX/md/rdNN represents slot 'NN' in the array, and is a symlink to the relevant 'devNN'. Obviously spare devices do not have a slot in the array, and so don't have such a symlink.

This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error. Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and conitnues. Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block, and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the array. Signed-off-by:
