* Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"Linus Torvalds2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5b479c91da90eef605f851508744bfe8269591a0. 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 rest of the kernel."

* md: improve partition detection in md arrayNeilBrown2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions is call on md array after they are assembled. However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later than some people would like. So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the array has been assembled. This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used to trigger a partition rescan.

* md: allow reshape_position for md arrays to be set via sysfsNeilBrown2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape" (adding drives, changing layout or chunksize). When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have two possible values, an old an a new. So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new values.

* md: stop using csum_partial for checksum calculation in mdNeilBrown2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If CONFIG_NET is not selected, csum_partial is not exported, so md.ko cannot use it. We shouldn't really be using csum_partial anyway as it is an internal-to-networking interface. So replace it with C code to do the same thing. Speed is not crucial here, so something simple and correct is best.

* dm log: fix resume failed log deviceJonathan Brassow2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the log device has failed. When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

* dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requestsJonathan Brassow2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync. Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync write_bits. _mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before destroying it.

* [PATCH] md: fix for raid6 reshapeNeilBrown2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent patch for raid6 reshape had a change missing that showed up in subsequent review. Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of data disks". With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk - conf->max_degraded" or similar. One place was missed. This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the recorded position would be wrong. On restart it would either fail (as the position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the array unreshaped, causing data corruption.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i.e. one or more drives can be added and the array will re-stripe while on-line. Most of the interesting work was already done for raid5. This just extends it to raid6. mdadm newer than 2.6 is needed for complete safety, however any version of mdadm which support raid5 reshape will do a good enough job in almost all cases (an 'echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action' is recommended after a reshape that was aborted and had to be restarted with an such a version of mdadm).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | one device md tries to warn the user if they e.g. create a raid1 using two partitions of the same device, as this does not provide true redundancy. However it also warns if a raid0 is created like this, and there is nothing wrong with that. At the place where the warning is currently printer, we don't necessarily know what level the array will be, so move the warning from the point where the device is added to the point where the array is started.

* [PATCH] md: fix raid10 recovery problem.NeilBrown2007-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10 when used in 'far' more (not the default). Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail. The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause a write to a random block address and probably a device error. The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so this has been tided up a bit.

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
