This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10. When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first working device. This is likely to make the array non-functional. It would normally be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not guaranteed. This bug was introduced in commit 2bb77736 which first appeared in 3.1. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf-> value. Two problems: 1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'. 2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation time. It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they could appear equal and thus disable recovery. This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array which changes the mddev value. However the dmraid interface doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled. So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

This bug was introduced in 415e72d0 which was in 2.6.36. There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when it is removed from the array. During this time we might still read from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could read stale data. We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on In_sync is sufficient. Since we started allowing reads from the early part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too. This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If an incremental recovery was interrupted, a subsequent re-add will result in a full recovery, even though an incremental should be possible (seen with raid1). Solve this problem by not updating the superblock on the recovering device until array is not degraded any longer.

When we add a device to an active array it can be meaningful to set the 'insync' flag. This indicates that the device is in-sync with the array except for locations recorded in the bitmap. A bitmap-based recovery can then bring it completely in-sync. Internally we move that flag to 'saved_raid_disk' but forgot to clear In_sync like we do in add_new_disk. So clear In_sync after moving its value to saved_raid_disk. Reported-by: Andrei Warkentin <andreiw@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all. However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so it doesn't suffer from this problem). So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable via module option just in case someone finds a regression. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The md_notify_reboot() method includes a call to mdelay(1000), to deal with "exotic SCSI devices" which are too volatile on reboot. The delay is unconditional. Even if the machine does not have any block devices, let alone MD devices, the kernel shutdown sequence is slowed down. 1 second does not matter much with physical hardware, but with certain virtualization use cases any wasted time in the bootup & shutdown sequence counts for alot. * drivers/md/md.c: md_notify_reboot() - only impose a delay if there was at least one MD device to be stopped during reboot Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

The 'allclean' flag is used to cache the fact that there is nothing to do, so we can avoid waking up and scanning the bitmap regularly. The two sorts of pages that might need the attention of the bitmap daemon are BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE pages. So make sure allclean reflects exactly when there are none of those. So: set it before scanning all pages with either bit set. clear it whenever these bits are set clear it when we desire not to clear one of these bits. don't clear it any other time.

The flag 'BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN' has a confusing name as it doesn't mean that the page is clean, but rather that there are counters in the page which allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared - i.e. maybe cleaning can happen. So change it to BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and fix some irregularities: - Don't set it in bitmap_init_from_disk as bitmap_set_memory_bits sets it when needed - in bitmap_daemon_work, if we find a counter that is '1', but need_sync is set, then set BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING again (it was recently cleared) to ensure we don't forget about this bit.

Two related problems: 1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)" without subsequently clearing ->thread. A subsequent call to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash. 2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread disappeared either by: - holding the ->mutex - having an active request, so something else must be keeping the array active. However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the ->thread could theoretically disappear. So we need a spinlock to provide some protections. So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and clears the pointer properly.

0.90 metadata uses an unsigned 32bit number to count the number of kilobytes used from each device. This should allow up to 4TB per device. However we multiply this by 2 (to get sectors) before casting to a larger type, so sizes above 2TB get truncated. Also we allow rdev->sectors to be larger than 4TB, so it is possible for the array to be resized larger than the metadata can handle. So make sure rdev->sectors never exceeds 4TB when 0.90 metadata is in used. Also the sanity check at the end of super_90_load should include level 1 as it used ->size too. (RAID0 and Linear don't use ->size at all). Reported-by: Pim Zandbergen <P.Zandbergen@macroscoop.nl> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

A single request to RAID1 or RAID10 might result in multiple requests if there are known bad blocks that need to be avoided. To detect if we need to submit another write request we test: if (sectors_handled < (bio->bi_size >> 9)) { However this is after we call **_write_done() so the 'bio' no longer belongs to us - the writes could have completed and the bio freed. So move the **_write_done call until after the test against bio->bi_size.

A write can complete at two different places: 1/ when the last member-device write completes, through raid10_end_write_request 2/ in make_request() when we remove the initial bias from ->remaining. These two should do exactly the same thing and the comment says they do, but they don't. So factor the correct code out into a function and call it in both places. This makes the code much more similar to RAID1. The difference is only significant if there is an error, and they usually take a while, so it is unlikely that there will be an error already when make_request is completing, so this is unlikely to cause real problems.

On the last close of an 'md' device which as been stopped, the device is destroyed and in particular the request_queue is freed. The free is done in a separate thread so it might happen a short time later. __blkdev_put calls bdev_inode_switch_bdi *after* ->release has been called. Since commit f758eeab bdev_inode_switch_bdi will dereference the 'old' bdi, which lives inside a request_queue, to get a spin lock. This causes the last close on an md device to sometime take a spin_lock which lives in freed memory - which results in an oops. So move the called to bdev_inode_switch_bdi before the call to ->release.
