2012-04-24md: fix possible corruption of array metadata on shutdown.NeilBrown
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.

2012-04-24md: don't call ->add_disk unless there is good reason.NeilBrown
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 <jan.ceuleers@computer.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2012-04-12md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmapNeilBrown
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 <neilb@suse.de>

2012-04-03md/raid1,raid10: don't compare excess byte during consistency check.NeilBrown
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.

2012-03-28dm thin: relax hard limit on the maximum size of a metadata deviceMike Snitzer
The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <= THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no practical benefit to using a larger device. However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents). Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-03-28dm persistent data: remove space map ref_count entries if redundantJoe Thornber
Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if they're no longer needed. Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above. When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

2012-03-28dm thin: commit outstanding data every secondJoe Thornber
Commit unwritten data every second to prevent too much building up. Released blocks don't become available until after the next commit (for crash resilience). Prior to this patch commits were only triggered by a message to the target or a REQ_{FLUSH,FUA} bio. This allowed far too big a position to build up. The interval is hard-coded to 1 second. This is a sensible setting. I'm not making this user configurable, since there isn't much to be gained by tweaking this - and a lot lost by setting it far too high.

2012-03-28dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf inputMikulas Patocka
Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string. For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number, but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc". As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"' will pass without an error. This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement. The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number, sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2. We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some garbage appended.

2012-03-28dm raid: handle failed devices during start upJonathan E Brassow
The dm-raid code currently fails to create a RAID array if any of the superblocks cannot be read. This was an oversight as there is already code to handle this case if the values ('- -') were provided for the failed array position. With this patch, if a superblock cannot be read, the array position's fields are initialized as though '- -' was set in the table. That is, the device is failed and the position should not be used, but if there is sufficient redundancy, the array should still be activated.

2012-03-28dm persistent data: fix btree rebalancing after removeJoe Thornber
When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's two neighbours. This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left neighbour, or vice versa. This patch pretty much re-writes the balancing code to fix it. This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool.

Avoid using the bi_next field for the holder of a cell when deferring bios because a stacked device below might change it. Store the holder in a new field in struct cell instead. When a cell is created, the bio that triggered creation (the holder) was added to the same bio list as subsequent bios. In some cases we pass this holder bio directly to devices underneath. If those devices use the bi_next field there will be trouble... This also simplifies some code that had to work out which bio was the holder.

2012-03-28dm crypt: fix mempool deadlockMikulas Patocka
This patch fixes a possible deadlock in dm-crypt's mempool use. Currently, dm-crypt reserves a mempool of MIN_BIO_PAGES reserved pages. It allocates first MIN_BIO_PAGES with non-failing allocation (the allocation cannot fail and waits until the mempool is refilled). Further pages are allocated with different gfp flags that allow failing. Because allocations may be done in parallel, this code can deadlock. Example: There are two processes, each tries to allocate MIN_BIO_PAGES and the processes run simultaneously. It may end up in a situation where each process allocates (MIN_BIO_PAGES / 2) pages. The mempool is exhausted. Each process waits for more pages to be freed to the mempool, which never happens. To avoid this deadlock scenario, this patch changes the code so that only the first page is allocated with non-failing gfp mask. Allocation of further pages may fail.

2012-03-19md/bitmap: remove unnecessary indirection when allocating.NeilBrown
These funcitons don't add anything useful except possibly the trace points, and I don't think they are worth the extra indirection. So remove them. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-03-19md/bitmap: remove some pointless locking.NeilBrown
There is nothing gained by holding a lock while we check if a pointer is NULL or not. If there could be a race, then it could become NULL immediately after the unlock - but there is no race here. So just remove the locking. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-03-19md/bitmap: change a 'goto' to a normal 'if' construct.NeilBrown
The use of a goto makes the control flow more obscure here. So make it a normal: if (x) { Y; } No functional change. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
