b492b852cd md: don't use locked_ioctl.
md has no need for the BKL - it does its own locking.
So md_ioctl doesn't need to be a locked_ioctl.

7a91ee1f62 md: don't update curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.
In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated
curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.

The reshape code updates both at the same time.  However since
commit 97e4f42d62
the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed
but is not in a position to update reshape_position.
So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is
happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update
curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality
reshape code.

b6a9ce688f md: export 'frozen' resync state through sysfs
The md resync engine has a 'frozen' state which ensures that
no resync/recovery.  This is used to avoid races.

Export this state through the 'sync_action' sysfs attribute
so that user-space can benefit and also avoid some races.

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

c4647292fd md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
   rd2 -> dev-sda

indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.

These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.

So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

5bf2959754 md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
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.

dd71cf6b27 md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.
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.

c03f6a1969 md: update sync_completed and reshape_position even more often.
There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
"oversee" a resync/reshape process.  For example when doing an
in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).

The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
advancing beyond a particular point.
So user-space can:
  suspend IO to the first section and back it up
  set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
  wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
  resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.

However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.

It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.

One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
(it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
on that).  This defeats some of the double buffering.

With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.

To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
and the value of sync_max.  This will usually be a good time for user
space to update sync_max.

If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
(together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
(one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
and stops.  So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
insignificant period of time.

acb180b0e3 md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed.
The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.

We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).

So:
 - make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
   particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
 - report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
 - allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.

This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

cea9c22800 md: add explicit method to signal the end of a reshape.
Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping)
notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being
given a large value, and handles any cleanup them.

This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an
explicit finish_reshape method as well.

The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be
done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t
structure.

The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock
so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device.

This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which
would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array
while a reshape was happening.

b522adcde9 md: 'array_size' sysfs attribute
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:

1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0)
   a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
      if size is greater than the default size
   b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
      array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
   kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality

Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

409c57f380 md: enable suspend/resume of md devices.
To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.

The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.

So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.

There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module
code).

575a80fa4f md: be more consistent about setting WriteMostly flag when adding a drive to an array
When a drive is added to an array using ADD_NEW_DISK, there are two
places we can get certain flags from:  the metadata on the disk or the
flags passed through the IOCTL.

For the WriteMostly flag (aka MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY) we take the value
from either of those sources depending on if it is set (i.e. we
effectively 'or' the two sources together).

This makes it awkward to clear, and is at best inconsistent.

As documented code (in mdadm) requires that setting
MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY in the ioctl will be effective, we resolve the
inconsistency by always using the value for this flag from the ioctl,
and ignoring the value on disk.

97e4f42d62 md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after a crash
Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
partially completed drive recovery.
However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
unclean shutdown.

One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
have completed.  And we need to know what has completed to record
how much is recovered.  So occasionally pause the recovery until all
submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
we are up to.

When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
the bitmap up-to-date.  So enhance that code to record the recovery
offset and schedule a superblock update.
And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
do a checkpoint.
'16' is a fairly arbitrary number.  But we don't really have any good
way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
number for now.

eea1bf384e md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).
There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.

1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
   rest are 'long'.
   So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
   curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
   long time to return to positive.

   So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
   for what we need.

2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
   the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
   suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
   So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

de01dfadf2 md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.

We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.

So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so
the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.

4044ba58dd md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.

So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

efeb53c0e5 md: Allow md devices to be created by name.
Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.

Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
awkward.

So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.

Writing a name such as "md_home" to
    /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
will cause an array with that name to be created.  It will appear in
/sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.

md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
close when the device is inactive.
For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.

The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
other devices.

d3374825ce md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.

If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.

So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
complication.
Between the call
   __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
   __blkdev_get->md_open

there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.

Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
fail.

So:
 1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
     indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
     though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
     This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
     is no longer needed.
     This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
     md_open.

 2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
     the gendisk that we did open.
     If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
     __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
     In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
     the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
     we loop at most once.

Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).

As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
  echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

cd2ac9321c md: need another print_sb for mdp_superblock_1
md_print_devices is called in two code path: MD_BUG(...), and md_ioctl
with PRINT_RAID_DEBUG.  it will dump out all in use md devices
information;

However, it wrongly processed two types of superblock in one:

The header file <linux/raid/md_p.h> has defined two types of superblock,
struct mdp_superblock_s (typedefed with mdp_super_t) according to md with
metadata 0.90, and struct mdp_superblock_1 according to md with metadata
1.0 and later,

These two types of superblock are very different,

The md_print_devices code processed them both in mdp_super_t, that would
lead to wrong informaton dump like:

159ec1fc06 md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

md arrays are not currently destroyed when they are stopped - they
remain in /sys/block.  Last time I tried this I tripped over locking
too much.

A consequence of this is that udev doesn't remove anything from /dev.
This is rather ugly.

As an interim measure until proper device removal can be achieved,
make sure all partitions are removed using the BLKRRPART ioctl, and
send a KOBJ_CHANGE when an md array is stopped.

d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)

changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.

For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe.  For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.

So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just
the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6.

For externally managed metadata, the 'metadata_version' sysfs

It can be useful for this to be changed while the array is active.

Normally changes to metadata_version are not permitted while the array

074a7aca7a block: move stats from disk to part0
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...

* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
  is not part0.  ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().

* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.

* part_round_stats() is updated similary.  It handles part0 stats
  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing
parentheses around macro parameters.

9744197c3d md: Don't wait UNINTERRUPTIBLE for other resync to finish
When two md arrays share some block device (e.g each uses different
partitions on the one device), a resync of one array will wait for

271f5a9b8f Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.
When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).

However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.

This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.

All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev.  Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.

So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.

So remove it.

This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
and
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452

c89a8eee61 Allow faulty devices to be removed from a readonly array.
Removing faulty devices from an array is a two stage process.
First the device is moved from being a part of the active array
to being similar to a spare device.  Then it can be removed
by a request from user space.

The first step is currently not performed for read-only arrays,
so the second step can never succeed.

So allow readonly arrays to remove failed devices (which aren't
blocked).

A recent patch allowed do_md_stop to know whether it was being called

descriptor when checking if it is in use.
This broke then switch to readonly performed by the shutdown notifier,
which needs to work even when the array is still (apparently) active

So restore this feature by pretending that there can be lots of
file descriptors open, but we still want do_md_stop to switch to

4b80991c6c md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCU
All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock.  However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking.  If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.

So use RCU to protect these accesses:
  - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
  - use list_for_each_entry_rcu
  - add to the list with list_add_rcu
  - delete from the list with list_del_rcu
  - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work

Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list.  In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe.  It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
  - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
     already been done,
  - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
  - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
      add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
  - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
      different list.

So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.

Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates).  In these cases rcu is not needed.

b5470dc5fc md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write
md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete.  For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.

Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN.  The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail.  Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.

md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

8ed0a5216a Enable setting of 'offset' and 'size' of a hot-added spare.
offset_store and rdev_size_store allow control of the region of a
device which is to be using in an md/raid array.
They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled,
as changing them on an active array could be dangerous.
However when adding a spare device to an array, we might need to
set the offset and size before starting recovery.  So allow
these values to be set also if "->raid_disk < 0" which indicates that
the device is still a spare.

1a0fd49773 Don't try to make md arrays dirty if that is not meaningful.
Arrays personalities such as 'raid0' and 'linear' have no redundancy,
and so marking them as 'clean' or 'dirty' is not meaningful.
So always allow write requests without requiring a superblock update.

Such arrays types are detected by ->sync_request being NULL.  If it is
not possible to send a sync request we don't need a 'dirty' flag because
all a dirty flag does is trigger some sync_requests.

f48ed53838 Close race in md_probe
There is a possible race in md_probe.  If two threads call md_probe
for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that
->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add,
thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when
we try to add children to it.

So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to
avoid this possibility.

9bbbca3a0e Fix error paths if md_probe fails.
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.

dfc7064500 md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.

For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.

We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
    information.

The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.

Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
    parallel.

Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
  a/ this requires least code change
  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

90b08710e4 md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.
In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed.  In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
 So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

31a59e3425 md: fix 'safemode' handling for external metadata.
'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.

->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.

This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
 - When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
 - when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
        some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
 - Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
        transitions - it won't work.

Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).

27c529bb8e md: lock access to rdev attributes properly
When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes.  We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute.  We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.

So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.

rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions.  We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain.  So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the
function.

2515619823 md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-write
A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only.  So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread.  There is one place we didn't do this.

The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started.  The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write).  So the reshape will not proceed.

On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not
be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more obvious in

c5d79adba7 md: allow devices to be shared between md arrays
Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.

This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.

So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.

This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags.  So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

1ec4a9398d md: set and test the ->persistent flag for md devices more consistently
If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given.  This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).

However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do.  So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.

This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.

So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.

Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

c620727779 md: allow a maximum extent to be set for resyncing

with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.

c303da6d71 md: give userspace control over removing failed devices when external metdata in use
When a device fails, we must not allow an further writes to the array until
the device failure has been recorded in array metadata.  When metadata is
managed externally, this requires some synchronisation...

Allow/require userspace to explicitly remove failed devices from active
service in the array by writing 'none' to the 'slot' attribute.  If this
reduces the number of failed devices to 0, the write block will automatically
be lowered.

e691063a61 md: support 'external' metadata for md arrays
- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
  externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
  left of user-space to handle.
  Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
  after the  array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
  internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
  These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.

- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
  there are any superblocks or not.

- New array state 'write_pending'.  This means that the metadata records
  the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
  to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
  This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
  attribute.

- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
   - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
     calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
   - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
   - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
     is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
     update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

2b12ab6d33 md: 'sync_action' in sysfs returns wrong value for readonly arrays
When an array is started read-only, MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED can be set but no
recovery will be running.  This causes 'sync_action' to report the wrong
value.

We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a
small gap after requesting a sync action, where 'sync_action' would still
report the old value.

So make sure that for a read-only array, 'sync_action' always returns 'idle'.

4d936ec1fd md: software Raid autodetect dev list not array
In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static
array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for
autostart.

I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are
discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would
come up whole, while all the others were short a disk.

I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds
(2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I
wanted 64 per drive...).  The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive
raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity
and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere.

This patch replaces that static array with a list.

4ad1366376 md: change bitmap_unplug and others to void functions
bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void.  Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.

write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked.  It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.

When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.

bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.

So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

435b71be20 md: improve the is_mddev_idle test
During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the
array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are.
This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it
sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't.

The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors
of resync io (disk->sync_io).  This has problems because total sectors gets
updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the
request is submitted.  The time difference can cause large differenced
between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity.  The test
currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it
is not enough.

The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or
negative.  This clearly is not needed.  Any non-sync activity will cause
the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so
we only need to look for a positive differences.

If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the
appearance of non-sync IO.  Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts
happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be
more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still
be suitably responsive.

44ce6294d0 Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"

Quoth Neil Brown:

  "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't
   seem easy to fix.

   The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so
   bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops.

   This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been
   assembled just seems to get more and more painful.  I think I'm going
   to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward
   comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the

However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later

5792a2856a [PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs
A device can be removed from an md array via e.g.
  echo remove > /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sde/state

This will try to remove the 'dev-sde' subtree which will deadlock
since
  commit e7b0d26a86

With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.

b4c4c7b809 [PATCH] md: restart a (raid5) reshape that has been aborted due to a read/write error
An error always aborts any resync/recovery/reshape on the understanding that
it will immediately be restarted if that still makes sense.  However a reshape
currently doesn't get restarted.  With this patch it does.

To avoid restarting when it is not possible to do work, we call into the
personality to check that a reshape is ok, and strengthen raid5_check_reshape
to fail if there are too many failed devices.

We also break some code out into a separate function: remove_and_add_spares as
the indent level for that code was getting crazy.

md tries to warn the user if they e.g.  create a raid1 using two partitions of

However it also warns if a raid0 is created like this, and there is nothing

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

2a2275d630 [PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in md
If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held,
it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.

This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a
write-out to the md device.

For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.

So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make
sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

transitioning dirty->clean where nothing else interesting has happened - so
that we don't need to write to spares all the time), it is possible for the
event count to return to zero, which is potentially confusing and triggers and
MD_BUG.

We could possibly remove the MD_BUG, but is just as easy, and probably safer,
to make sure we never return to zero.

  read and processed it all properly yet.

- initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
  will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
  started.

- all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
  sysfs files

- when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
  set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.

- allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't
  been started yet.

1757128438 [PATCH] md: assorted md and raid1 one-liners
Fix few bugs that meant that:
  - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this
    could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array
    causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors).

  - restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata
    only) didn't work as intended (or at all).

1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added.
2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
   The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
   MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
   is wrong.
3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
   metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
   bitmaps) does get done.

d63a5a74de [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.  This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

4b438a23fb [PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspend
If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image.  Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.

For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

9b1d1dac18 [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:

echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap

(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)

echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap

(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)

This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array).  By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

  - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
  - make some changes
  - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.

To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded.  In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

ff4e8d9a9f [PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncs
We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.

However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count.  This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.

So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

0b8c9de05c [PATCH] md: delay starting md threads until array is completely setup
When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a
reshape or recovery that needs to be completed).

We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in
particular before queue->queuedata is set.  If the thread actually starts
very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata
and oops.

This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if a reshape is
being restarted.

663d440eaa [PATCH] lockdep: annotate blkdev nesting
Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.

Effects on non-lockdep kernels:

- the introduction of the following function variants:

  extern struct block_device *open_partition_by_devnum(dev_t, unsigned);

  extern int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *);

  static int
  blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

 which on non-lockdep are the same as open_by_devnum(), blkdev_put()
 and blkdev_get().

- a subclass parameter to do_open(). [unused on non-lockdep]

- a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal
  function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused
  on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s]

these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express
object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.

adds the ability to stop and array without tearing it down.

Array states/settings:

 clear
     No devices, no size, no level
     Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
 inactive
     May have some settings, but array is not active
        all IO results in error
     When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
 suspended (not supported yet)
     All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
     Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
 readonly
     no resync can happen.  no superblocks get written.
     write requests fail
 read-auto
     like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request.

 clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
     When written to inactive array, starts without resync
     If a write request arrives then
       if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
       if not known, block and switch to write-pending
     If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
 active
     fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
     When written to inactive array, starts with resync

 write-pending (not supported yet)
     clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.

 active-idle
     like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

4254376914 [PATCH] md: Don't write dirty/clean update to spares - leave them alone
- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they
  might sometimes be slightly different now)
- add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super
  block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty
  transition.
- Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers
  for clean states
- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
  a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
  transition.  To accomodate this, a transition from
  dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
  if nothing else has changed.

The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

07d84d109d [PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.

It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps.  i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.

This patch allows that option.  This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g.  during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

c331eb04b9 [PATCH] md: Fix badness in sysfs_notify caused by md_new_event
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify.  However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.

This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that.  A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.

Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute.  (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

4508a7a734 [PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable
It works like this:
  Open the file
  Read all the contents.
  Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
  When poll returns,
     close the file and go to top of loop.
   or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.

Events are signaled by an object manager calling
   sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);

If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).

This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.

The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable
