* [PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_requestNeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.

* [PATCH] md: improve locking on 'safemode' and move superblock writesNeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause problems later. With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and write request are delayed until that write completes. Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is improved to avoid possible races.

* [PATCH] md: merge md_enter_safemode into md_check_recoveryNeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'. i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed. This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called (almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call md_check_recovery as well. So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into md_check_recovery. The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

* [PATCH] md: make sure recovery happens when add_new_disk is used for hot_addNeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | Currently if add_new_disk is used to hot-add a drive to a degraded array, recovery doesn't start ... because we didn't tell it to. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] md: cause md/raid1 to "repack" working devices when number of drives ↵NeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is changed i.e. missing or failed drives are moved to the end of the list. The means a 3 drive md array with the first drive missing can be shrunk to a two drive array. Currently that isn't possible. Also, the "last_used" device number might be out-of-range after the number of devices is reduced, so we set it to 0.

* [PATCH] dm: Handle READA requests in dm-mpath.cLars Marowsky-Bree2005-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | READA errors failing with EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN do not constitute a valid reason for failing the path; this lead to erratic errors on DM multipath devices. This error can be safely propagated upwards without failing the path.

| | | | | | | | | | | When a request crosses a boundary between devices, it needs to be split. But where we should calculate the amount of the request before the boundary to find the split-point, we care currently calculating the amount that is *after* the boundary !!!

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
