      use bio_endio instead of a call to bi_end_io · 0e13fe23
      Neil Brown authored
      Turn calls to bi->bi_end_io() into bio_endio(). Apparently bio_endio does
      exactly the same error processing as is hardcoded at these places.
      
      bio_endio() avoids recursion (or will soon), so it should be used.

      Fix error paths if md_probe fails. · 9bbbca3a
      Neil Brown authored
      md_probe can fail (e.g. alloc_disk could fail) without
      returning an error (as it alway returns NULL).
      So when we call mddev_find immediately afterwards, we need
      to check that md_probe actually succeeded.  This means checking
      that mdev->gendisk is non-NULL.

      Don't acknowlege that stripe-expand is complete until it really is. · efe31143
      Neil Brown authored
      We shouldn't acknowledge that a stripe has been expanded (When
      reshaping a raid5 by adding a device) until the moved data has
      actually been written out.  However we are currently
      acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR
      is complete and before the write.
      
      So track in s.locked whether there are pending writes, and don't
      call md_done_sync yet if there are.
      
      Note: we all set R5_LOCKED on devices which are are about to
      read from.  This probably isn't technically necessary, but is
      usually done when writing a block, and justifies the use of
      s.locked here.
      
      This bug can lead to a crash if an array is stopped while an reshape
      is in progress.

      Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap) · 8c2e870a
      Neil Brown authored
      If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
      in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
      This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
      methods.
      
      Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
      which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
      The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
      is being used.  In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
      and recovery all blocks.
      
      This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.
      
      So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
      metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
      of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
      after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.
      
      If you might have an array like that, issueing
         echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action
      
      will make sure recovery completes properly.
