* dm mpath: add missing path switching lockingChandra Seetharaman2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

* md: Don't wait UNINTERRUPTIBLE for other resync to finishNeilBrown2008-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 the resync on the other to finish. This can be a long time and as it currently waits TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the softlockup code notices and complains. So use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead and make sure to flush signals before calling schedule. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.cNeilBrown2008-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the rcu lock. The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time. So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list. Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock and do the memalloc to start IO. When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

* Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.NeilBrown2008-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 though it isn't yet clear how it ever worked.

* md: cancel check/repair requests when recovery is neededDan Williams2008-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | If a 'repair' is requested when an array is in a position to 'recover' raid1 will perform the repair while md believes a recovery is happening. Address this at both ends, i.e. cancel check/repair requests upon detecting a recover condition and do not call ->spare_active after completing a check/repair.

* Allow raid10 resync to happening in larger chunks.NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of in-flight resync IO to 2Meg. This was copied from raid1 where it seems quite adequate. However for raid10, some layouts require a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced. There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight IO at all. Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off. The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant latency when normal IO starts up. So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is available) which seems to be a good amount. Also reduce the amount of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if memory is tight. Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.

* Allow faulty devices to be removed from a readonly array.NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* Don't let a blocked_rdev interfere with read request in raid5/6NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have externally managed metadata, we need to mark a failed device as 'Blocked' and not allow any writes until that device have been marked as faulty in the metadata and the Blocked flag has been removed. However it is perfectly OK to allow read requests when there is a Blocked device, and with a readonly array, there may not be any metadata-handler watching for blocked devices. So in raid5/raid6 only allow a Blocked device to interfere with Write request or resync. Read requests go through untouched. raid1 and raid10 already differentiate between read and write properly.

* Fail safely when trying to grow an array with a write-intent bitmap.NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | We cannot currently change the size of a write-intent bitmap. So if we change the size of an array which has such a bitmap, it tries to set bits beyond the end of the bitmap. For now, simply reject any request to change the size of an array which has a bitmap. mdadm can remove the bitmap and add a new one after the array has changed size.

* Restore force switch of md array to readonly at reboot time.NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch allowed do_md_stop to know whether it was being called via an ioctl or not, and thus where to allow for an extra open file 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 (as md doesn't get told when the filesystem becomes readonly). 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 readonly. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* Make writes to md/safe_mode_delay immediately effective.NeilBrown2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we reduce the 'safe_mode_delay', it could still wait for the old delay to completely expire before doing anything about safe_mode. Thus the effect if the change is delayed. To make the effect more immediate, run the timeout function immediately if the delay was reduced. This may cause it to run slightly earlier that required, but that is the safer option.

The race condition happens as follows: * A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the read is routed to the original device. * A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception that reallocates the block. The write proceeds. * The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data. This race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and multiple threads reading simultaneously. (This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a deadlock.)

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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

But it really is a better design to insist that mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow for that. The previous way invites confusion.

| * md: Make calc_dev_sboffset() return a sector count.Andre Noll2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As BLOCK_SIZE_BITS is 10 and MD_NEW_SIZE_SECTORS(2 * x) = 2 * NEW_SIZE_BLOCKS(x), the return value of calc_dev_sboffset() doubles. Fix up all three callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
| * md: Replace calc_dev_size() by calc_num_sectors().Andre Noll2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Number of sectors is the preferred unit for sizes of raid devices, so change calc_dev_size() so that it returns this unit instead of the number of 1K blocks. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
| * md: Make update_size() take the number of sectors.Andre Noll2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the internal representations of sizes of raid devices from 1K blocks to sector counts (512B units) is desirable because it allows to get rid of many divisions/multiplications and unnecessary casts that are present in the current code. This patch is a first step in this direction. It replaces the old 1K-based "size" argument of update_size() by "num_sectors" and fixes up its two callers.

| * md: Better control of when do_md_stop is allowed to stop the array.Neil Brown2008-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_md_stop check the number of active users before allowing the array to be stopped. Two problems: 1/ it assumes the request is coming through an open file descriptor (via ioctl) so it allows for that. This is not always the case. 2/ it doesn't do the check it the array hasn't been activated. This is not good for cases when we use an inactive array to hold some devices in a container.
