      sunrpc: parse and return errors reported by gssd · dc5ddce9
      Jeff Layton authored
      The kernel currently ignores any error code sent by gssd and always
      considers it to be -EACCES. In order to better handle the situation of
      an expired KRB5 TGT, the kernel needs to be able to parse and deal with
      the errors that gssd sends. Aside from -EACCES the only error we care
      about is -EKEYEXPIRED, which we're using to indicate that the upper
      layers should retry the call a little later.
      
      To maintain backward compatibility with older gssd's, any error other
      than -EKEYEXPIRED is interpreted as -EACCES.

      md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs. · ef286f6f
      NeilBrown authored
      ======
      This fix is related to
          http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
      but does not address that exact issue.
      ======
      
      sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
      (i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.
      
      As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
      removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.
      
      This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.
      
      Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
      This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
      delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.
      
      In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
      md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock.  This call is
      only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set.  However we can be sure
      that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
      was originally written.  This is because do_md_run is called in three
      different contexts:
        1/ from md_ioctl.  This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
           fails if ->gendisk is not set.
        2/ from writing a sysfs attribute.  This can only happen if the
           mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
           after ->gendisk has been set.
        3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
           checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
      So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
      ->gendisk can also go.
      
      
      In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
      purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
      component rdevs) to complete.  However there really isn't any need to
      wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
      ways.
      
      The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
      while the lock is held.  There is already some infrastructure in place
      to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
      schedule_work).  So extend that infrastructure to remove the
      raid5_attrs_group.
      
      This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
      "s_active" lock.  The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
      context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

      md: fix 'degraded' calculation when starting a reshape. · 9eb07c25
      NeilBrown authored
      This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
      reshape a degraded array.  Now it is so the current level of
      degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account.  Also newly addded
      devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
      in-sync.
      
      In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
      number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
      make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
      value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.
      
      If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
      new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
      incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
      "degraded".
      
      This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
      2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.
