md/bitmap: fix calculation of 'chunks' - missing shift.

2012-05-04T07:03:18+00:00

commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro" replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong. The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1, which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how). So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO which is no longe used.

md: fix possible corruption of array metadata on shutdown.

2012-04-24T00:23:16+00:00

commit c744a65c1e2d59acc54333ce8 md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted. If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array. So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been activated. This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above commit applied.

md: don't call ->add_disk unless there is good reason.

2012-04-24T00:23:14+00:00

Commit 7bfec5f35c68121e7b18 md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement. cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often. Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition. This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk to be reported much too often. So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking (including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set. This fix is suitable for 3.3.y: Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Jan Ceuleers Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

DM RAID: Use safe version of rdev_for_each

2012-04-24T00:23:13+00:00

Fix segfault caused by using rdev_for_each instead of rdev_for_each_safe Commit dafb20fa34320a472deb7442f25a0c086e0feb33 mistakenly replaced a safe iterator with an unsafe one when making some macro changes. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmap

2012-04-12T06:05:06+00:00

If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being initialised. This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly. So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap to prevent problems. This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not apply cleanly before about 3.1. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md/raid1,raid10: Fix calculation of 'vcnt' when processing error recovery.

2012-04-12T06:04:47+00:00

If r1bio->sectors % 8 != 0,then the memcmp and a later memcpy will omit the last bio_vec. This is suitable for any stable kernel since 3.1 when bad-block management was introduced. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: majianpeng Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

MD: Bitmap version cleanup.

2012-04-12T05:55:21+00:00

bitmap_new_disk_sb() would still create V3 bitmap superblock with host-endian layout. Perhaps I'm confused, but shouldn't bitmap_new_disk_sb() be creating a V4 bitmap superblock instead, that is portable, as per comment in bitmap.h? Signed-off-by: Andrei Warkentin Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md/raid1,raid10: don't compare excess byte during consistency check.

2012-04-03T05:39:23+00:00

When comparing two pages read from different legs of a mirror, only compare the bytes that were read, not the whole page. In most cases we read a whole page, but in some cases with bad blocks or odd sizes devices we might read fewer than that. This bug has been present "forever" but at worst it might cause a report of two many mismatches and generate a little bit extra resync IO, so there is no need to back-port to -stable kernels.

md/raid5: Fix a bug about judging if the operation is syncing or replacing

2012-04-03T05:37:38+00:00

When create a raid5 using assume-clean and echo check or repair to sync_action.Then component disks did not operated IO but the raid check/resync faster than normal. Because the judgement in function analyse_stripe(): if (do_recovery || sh->sector >= conf->mddev->recovery_cp) s->syncing = 1; else s->replacing = 1; When check or repair,the recovery_cp == MaxSectore,so syncing equal zero not one. This bug was introduced by commit 9a3e1101b827 md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery. so this patch is suitable for 3.3-stable.

md/raid1:Remove unnecessary rcu_dereference(conf->mirrors[i].rdev).

Because rde->nr_pending > 0,so can not remove this disk. And in any case, we aren't holding rcu_read_lock() Signed-off-by: majianpeng Signed-off-by: NeilBrown
