Introduced by upstream commit 70d9798b95
The raid0 personality does not create mddev->thread as oposed to
other personalities leading to its unconditional access in
mddev_suspend() causing an oops.
Patch checks for mddev->thread in order to keep the
intention of aforementioned commit.

When a device is re-added, it will ultimately need
to be activated and that happens in md_check_recovery,
so we need to set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED right after
remove_and_add_spares.
A specifical issue without the change is that when
one node perform fail/remove/readd on a disk, but
slave nodes could not add the disk back to array as
expected (added as missed instead of in sync). So
give slave nodes a chance to do resync.

It is not reasonable that cluster raid to release resync
lock before the last pers->sync_request has finished.
As the metadata will be changed when node performs resync,
we need to inform other nodes to update metadata, so the
MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag is set before finish resync.
Then metadata_update_finish is move ahead to ensure that
METADATA_UPDATED msg is sent before finish resync, and
metadata_update_start need to be run after "repeat:" label
accordingly.

If multiple nodes choose to attempt do resync at the same time
they need to be serialized so they don't duplicate effort. This
serialization is done by locking the 'resync' DLM lock.
Currently if a node cannot get the lock immediately it doesn't
request notification when the lock becomes available (i.e.
DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE is set), so it may not reliably find out when it
is safe to try again.
Rather than trying to arrange an async wake-up when the lock
becomes available, switch to using synchronous locking - this is
a lot easier to think about. As it is not permitted to block in
the 'raid1d' thread, move the locking to the resync thread. So
the rsync thread is forked immediately, but it blocks until the
resync lock is available. Once the lock is locked it checks again
if any resync action is needed.
A particular symptom of the current problem is that a node can
get stuck with "resync=pending" indefinitely.

When stopping an MD device, then its device node /dev/mdX may still
exist afterwards or it is recreated by udev. The next open() call
can lead to creation of an inoperable MD device. The reason for
this is that a change event (KOBJ_CHANGE) is sent to udev which
races against the remove event (KOBJ_REMOVE) from md_free().
So drop sending the change event.
A change is likely also required in mdadm as many versions send the
change event to udev as well.
Neil mentioned the change event is a workaround for old kernel

It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is
in-flight in the queue. Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online
spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile.
The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in
md, commmit c7bfced9a6 "md: suspend i/o during runtime
blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression.
This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has
been established is shared with DM.

Add support for journal disk hot add/remove. Mostly trival checks in md
part. The raid5 part is a little tricky. For hot-remove, we can't wait
pending write as it's called from raid5d. The wait will cause deadlock.
We simplily fail the hot-remove. A hot-remove retry can success
eventually since if journal disk is faulty all pending write will be
failed and finish. For hot-add, since an array supporting journal but
without journal disk will be marked read-only, we are safe to hot add
journal without stopping IO (should be read IO, while journal only

get_seconds() API is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems and the API

API instead. Change mddev structure types to time64_t accordingly.
32 bit signed timestamps will overflow in the year 2038.
Change the user interface mdu_array_info_s structure timestamps:
ctime and utime values used in ioctls GET_ARRAY_INFO and
SET_ARRAY_INFO to unsigned int. This will extend the field to last
until the year 2106.
The long term plan is to get rid of ctime and utime values in
this structure as this information can be read from the on-disk
meta data directly.
Clamp the tim64_t timestamps to positive values with a max of U32_MAX
when returning from GET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl to accommodate above changes
in the data type of timestamps to unsigned int.
v0.90 on disk meta data uses u32 for maintaining time stamps.
So this will also last until year 2106.
Assumption is that the usage of v0.90 will be deprecated by
year 2106.
Timestamp fields in the on disk meta data for v1.0 version already
use 64 bit data types. Remove the truncation of the bits while

md currently doesn't allow a 'sync_action' such as 'reshape' to be set
while MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set.
This s a problem, particularly since commit 738a273806 as that can
cause ->check_shape to call mddev_resume() which sets
MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED. So by the time we come to start 'reshape' it is
very likely that MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is still set.
Testing for this flag is not really needed and is in any case very
racy as it can be set at any moment - asynchronously. Any race
between setting a sync_action and setting MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED must
already be handled properly in some locked code, probably
md_check_recovery(), so remove the test here.
The test on MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is also racy in the 'reshape' case
so we should test it again after getting mddev_lock().
As this fixes a race and a regression which can cause 'reshape' to
fail, it is suitable for -stable kernels since 4.1

Two major components to this update.
1/ the clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly
complete. There are a few outstanding issues being
worked on. Maybe half a dozen patches will bring
this to a usable state.
2/ The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from
Facebook makes an appearance. With a journal
device configured (typically NVRAM or SSD), the
"RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash
during degraded operations cannot result in data
corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a
write-behind cache so that latency can be reduced
and in some cases throughput increased by
performing more full-stripe writes.

Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
"Two major components to this update.
1) The clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly complete. There
are a few outstanding issues being worked on. Maybe half a dozen
patches will bring this to a usable state.
2) The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from Facebook makes an
appearance. With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or
SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during
degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
increased by performing more full-stripe writes.

This reverts commit 7eb418851f.
This commit is poorly justified, I can find not discusison in email,
and it clearly causes a problem.
If a device which is being recovered fails and is subsequently
re-added to an array, there could easily have been changes to the
array *before* the point where the recovery was up to. So the
recovery must start again from the beginning.
If a spare is being recovered and fails, then when it is re-added we
really should do a bitmap-based recovery up to the recovery-offset,
and then a full recovery from there. Before this reversion, we only
did the "full recovery from there" which is not corect. After this
reversion with will do a full recovery from the start, which is safer
but not ideal.
It will be left to a future patch to arrange the two different styles
of recovery.

To incorporate --grow feature executed on one node, other nodes need to
acknowledge the change in number of disks. Call update_raid_disks()
to update internal data structures.
This leads to call check_reshape() -> md_allow_write() -> md_update_sb(),
this results in a deadlock. This is done so it can safely allocate memory
(which might trigger writeback which might write to raid1). This is
not required for md with a bitmap.
In the clustered case, we don't perform md_update_sb() in md_allow_write(),
but in do_md_run(). Also we disable safemode for clustered mode.
mddev->recovery_cp need not be set in check_sb_changes() because this
is required only when a node reads another node's bitmap. mddev->recovery_cp
(which is read from sb->resync_offset), is set only if mddev is in_sync.
Since we disabled safemode, in_sync is set to zero.
In a clustered environment, the MD may not be in sync because another
node could be writing to it. So make sure that in_sync is not set in
case of clustered node in __md_stop_writes().

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

- Saving the mode of the lock resource to check if token lock is already

unlock_comm() must be called only once.

md_reload_sb is too simplistic and it explicitly needs to determine
the changes made by the writing node. However, there are multiple areas
where a simple reload could fail.
Instead, read the superblock of one of the "good" rdevs and update
the necessary information:
- read the superblock into a newly allocated page, by temporarily
swapping out rdev->sb_page and calling ->load_super.
- if that fails return
- if it succeeds, call check_sb_changes
1. iterates over list of active devices and checks the matching
dev_roles[] value.
If that is 'faulty', the device must be marked as faulty
- call md_error to mark the device as faulty. Make sure
not to set CHANGE_DEVS and wakeup mddev->thread or else
it would initiate a resync process, which is the responsibility
of the "primary" node.
- clear the Blocked bit
- Call remove_and_add_spares() to hot remove the device.
If the device is 'spare':
- call remove_and_add_spares() to get the number of spares
added in this operation.
- Reduce mddev->degraded to mark the array as not degraded.
2. reset recovery_cp
- read the rest of the rdevs to update recovery_offset. If recovery_offset
is equal to MaxSector, call spare_active() to set it In_sync
This required that recovery_offset be initialized to MaxSector, as
opposed to zero so as to communicate the end of sync for a rdev.

When a write to one of the legs of a RAID1 fails, the failure is
recorded in the metadata of the other leg(s) so that after a restart
the data on the failed drive wont be trusted even if that drive seems
to be working again (maybe a cable was unplugged).
Similarly when we record a bad-block in response to a write failure,
we must not let the write complete until the bad-block update is safe.
Currently there is no interlock between the write request completing
and the metadata update. So it is possible that the write will
complete, the app will confirm success in some way, and then the
machine will crash before the metadata update completes.
This is an extremely small hole for a racy to fit in, but it is
theoretically possible and so should be closed.
So:
- set MD_CHANGE_PENDING when requesting a metadata update for a
failed device, so we can know with certainty when it completes
- queue requests that experienced an error on a new queue which
is only processed after the metadata update completes
- call raid_end_bio_io() on bios in that queue when the time comes.

During this time, 'sync_completed' can have the wrong value.

While it generally shouldn't happen, it is not impossible for
curr_resync_completed to exceed resync_max.
This can particularly happen when reshaping RAID5 - the current
status isn't copied to curr_resync_completed promptly, so when it
is, it can exceed resync_max.
This happens when the reshape is 'frozen', resync_max is set low,
and reshape is re-enabled.

anyway, so add a test to behave correctly if
curr_resync_completed > resync_max

When checking sync_action in a script, we want to be sure it is

As resync/reshape etc doesn't always start immediately (a separate

checks if MD_RECOVER_NEEDED is set (which it does) and in that
case reports what is likely to start soon (which it only sometimes
does).
So:
- report 'reshape' if reshape_position suggests one might start.
- set MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER in raid1_reshape(), because that is very
likely to happen next.

Currently when a recovery completes, mdstat shows that it has finished
before the new device is marked as a full member. Because of this it

So while MD_RECOVERY_DONE is still set, keep mdstat reporting "recovery".
Once md_reap_sync_thread() completes, the spare will be active and then
MD_RECOVERY_DONE will be cleared.

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

In drivers/md/md.c get_bitmap_file() uses kmalloc() for creating a
mdu_bitmap_file_t called "file".
5769 file = kmalloc(sizeof(*file), GFP_NOIO);
5770 if (!file)

This structure is copied to user space at the end of the function.
5786 if (err == 0 &&

5788 err = -EFAULT
But if bitmap is disabled only the first byte of "file" is initialized
with zero, so it's possible to read some bytes (up to 4095) of kernel
space memory from user space. This is an information leak.
5775 /* bitmap disabled, zero the first byte and copy out */

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

The Blocked flag indicates that a device has failed but that this
fact hasn't been recorded in the metadata yet. Writes to such
devices cannot be allowed until the metadata has been updated.
On a read-only array, the Blocked flag will never be cleared.
This prevents the device being removed from the array.
If the metadata is being handled by the kernel
(i.e. !mddev->external), then we can be sure that if the array is
switch to writable, then a metadata update will happen and will
record the failure. So we don't need the flag set.
If metadata is externally managed, it is upto the external manager
to clear the 'blocked' flag.

If ->private is set when ->run is called, it is assumed to be
a 'config' prepared as part of 'reshape'.
So it is important when we free that config, that we also clear ->private.
This is not often a problem as the mddev will normally be discarded
shortly after the config us freed.
However if an 'assemble' races with a final close, the assemble can use
the old mddev which has a stale ->private. This leads to any of
various sorts of crashes.
So clear ->private after calling ->free().

MD_RECOVERY_DONE is normally cleared by md_check_recovery after a
resync etc finished. However it is possible for raid5_start_reshape
to race and start a reshape before MD_RECOVERY_DONE is cleared. This
can lean to multiple reshapes running at the same time, which isn't
good.
To make sure it is cleared before starting a reshape, and also clear
it when reaping a thread, just to be safe.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Checking ->sync_thread without holding the mddev_lock()
isn't really safe, even after flushing the workqueue which
ensures md_start_sync() has been run.
While this code is waiting for the lock, md_check_recovery could reap
the thread itself, and then start another thread (e.g. recovery might
finish, then reshape starts). When this thread gets the lock
md_start_sync() hasn't run so it doesn't get reaped, but
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING gets cleared. This allows two threads to start
which leads to confusion.
So don't both if MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING isn't set, but if it is do
the flush and the test and the reap all under the mddev_lock to
avoid any race with md_check_recovery.

A recent change removed the need for locking around writing
to "sync_action" (and various other places), but introduced a
subtle race.
When e.g. setting 'reshape' on a 'frozen' array, the 'frozen'
flag is cleared before 'reshape' is set, so the md thread can
get in and start trying recovery - which isn't wanted.
So instead of clearing MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN for any command
except 'frozen', only clear it when each specific command
is parsed. This allows the handling of 'reshape' to clear
the bit while a lock is held.
Also remove some places where we set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED,
as it is always set on non-error exit of the function.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().
Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.
Since:
commit c4db59d31e
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().
The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains
> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'
We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.
Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

When md notices non-sync IO happening while it is trying
to resync (or reshape or recover) it slows down to the
set minimum.
The default minimum might have made sense many years ago
but the drives have become faster. Changing the default
to match the times isn't really a long term solution.
This patch changes the code so that instead of waiting until the speed
has dropped to the target, it just waits until pending requests
have completed.
This means that the delay inserted is a function of the speed
of the devices.
Testing shows that:
- for some loads, the resync speed is unchanged. For those loads
increasing the minimum doesn't change the speed either.
So this is a good result. To increase resync speed under such
loads we would probably need to increase the resync window
size.
- for other loads, resync speed does increase to a reasonable
fraction (e.g. 20%) of maximum possible, and throughput of
the load only drops a little bit (e.g. 10%)
- for other loads, throughput of the non-sync load drops quite a bit
more. These seem to be latency-sensitive loads.
So it isn't a perfect solution, but it is mostly an improvement.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.
The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.
So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.
This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.
