      md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'. · 5bf29597
      NeilBrown authored 
      Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.

It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.

It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').

Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.

So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.

This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

      md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays. · dd71cf6b
      NeilBrown authored 
      Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
   now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
   the range of "unsigned long".

So
 - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
   in there and in 'resync'
 - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
   remaining sectors.
 - use sector_div rather than normal division.
 - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
   + making it a power of 2 makes division easier
   + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
     speed over the entire run.  Now we average speed over the last 30
     seconds or so.

      md: fix some (more) errors with bitmaps on devices larger than 2TB. · db305e50
      NeilBrown authored 
      If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t.  This patches
add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
up.

This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
member devices that are larger than 2TB.

      md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded. · 18055569
      NeilBrown authored 
      If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).

This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.

This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.

This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

      md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap. · b74fd282
      NeilBrown authored 
      When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again.  However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet.  So this
can sometimes fail.

Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.

This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible.  Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.
