* [PATCH] md: make sure mdthreads will always respond to kthread_stopNeilBrown2005-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | There are still a couple of cases where md threads (the resync/recovery thread) is not interruptible since the change to use kthreads. All places there it tests "signal_pending", it should also test kthread_should_stop, as with this patch.

* [PATCH] Three one-liners in md.cNeilBrown2005-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would only happen when resync/recovery is happening. This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs. 1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the process name wrong. This fixes it. 2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that. 3/ There is a long standing bug in that if: - An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and - The recovery is being blocked because some other array being recovered shares a physical device and - The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being done, which can cause data corruption. This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as incomplete. Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug 3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by 'init' when shutting down.

* [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro2005-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

* [PATCH] device-mapper: Fix queue_if_no_path initialisationAlasdair G Kergon2005-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is specified it gets ignored. While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so the option *always* gets turned off. The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

* [PATCH] md: add write-intent-bitmap support to raid5NeilBrown2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have been flushed. To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented each time the raid5 is unplugged. If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes, and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write. When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq number. We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

However the current code would clear the bitmap if the array was non-degraded when the resync *started*, which obviously isn't right (it is for 'resync' but not for 'recovery' - i.e. rebuilding a failed drive). This patch calculated 'still_degraded' and uses the to tell bitmap_start_sync whether this sync should clear the corresponding bit.
