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>

When md assembles a RAID0 array it prints out lots of info which is really just for debugging, so convert that to pr_debug. It also prints out the resulting configuration which could be interesting, so keep that as 'printk' but tidy it up a bit. 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.

Waiting for a 'blocked' rdev to become unblocked in the raid5d thread cannot work with internal metadata as it is the raid5d thread which will clear the blocked flag. This wasn't a problem in 3.0 and earlier as we only set the blocked flag when external metadata was used then. However we now set it always, so we need to be more careful.

When the 'blocked' flag on a device is cleared while there are unacknowledged bad blocks we must fail the device. This is needed for backwards compatability of the interface. The code currently uses the wrong test for "unacknowledged bad blocks exist". Change it to the right test. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Queue idling is used for the anticipation of immediate sequencial I/O's but md_super_write() is a kind of one- shot operation, coupled with md_super_wait(), so the idling in this case will be just a waste of time. Specifying REQ_NOIDLE prevents it. Instead of adding the flag to submit_bio() directly, use pre-defined macro WRITE_FLUSH_FUA.

Sometimes a device will refuse to be set faulty. e.g. RAID1 will never let the last working device become faulty. So check if "md_error()" did manage to set the faulty flag and fail with EBUSY if it didn't.
