2008-11-06md: revert the recent addition of a call to the BLKRRPART ioctl.NeilBrown
It turns out that it is only safe to call blkdev_ioctl when the device is actually open (as ->bd_disk is set to NULL on last close). And it is quite possible for do_md_stop to be called when the device is not open. So discard the call to blkdev_ioctl(BLKRRPART) which was added in commit 934d9c23b4c7e31840a895ba4b7e88d6413c81f3 It is just as easy to call this ioctl from userspace when needed (on mdadm -S) so leave it out of the kernel Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-10-28md: destroy partitions and notify udev when md array is stopped.NeilBrown
md arrays are not currently destroyed when they are stopped - they remain in /sys/block. Last time I tried this I tripped over locking too much. A consequence of this is that udev doesn't remove anything from /dev. This is rather ugly. As an interim measure until proper device removal can be achieved, make sure all partitions are removed using the BLKRRPART ioctl, and send a KOBJ_CHANGE when an md array is stopped.

2008-10-21[PATCH] beginning of methods conversionAl Viro
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-10-21md: allow extended partitions on md devices.NeilBrown

2008-10-21md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/dev-xxx/stateNeilBrown
The 'state' file for a device reports, for example, when the device has failed. Changes should be reported to userspace ASAP without the possibility of blocking on low-memory. sysfs_notify does have that possibility (as it takes a mutex which can be held across a kmalloc) so use sysfs_notify_dirent instead.

2008-10-21md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/array_stateNeilBrown

2008-10-13md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.NeilBrown
Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE. This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from working. For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly within a stripe. For other raid personalities, this restriction is not needed at all and can be dropped. So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2008-10-13md: Don't try to set an array to 'read-auto' if it is already in that state.NeilBrown
'read-auto' is a variant of 'readonly' which will switch to writable on the first write attempt. Calling do_md_stop to set the array readonly when it is already readonly returns an error. So make sure not to do that. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-10-13md: Allow metadata_version to be updated for externally managed metadata.NeilBrown
For externally managed metadata, the 'metadata_version' sysfs attribute is really just a channel for user-space programs to communicate about how the array is being managed. It can be useful for this to be changed while the array is active. Normally changes to metadata_version are not permitted while the array is active. Change that so that if the metadata is externally managed, the metadata_version can be changed to a different flavour of external management. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2008-10-09block: move stats from disk to part0Tejun Heo
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to part0 and unify stat handling such that... * part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*(). * {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone. * part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed. * part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates part0 stats for parts other than part0. * disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches. Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case handling in callers unnecessary. * Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part stats show code paths. * Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock() While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing parentheses around macro parameters.

2008-09-19md: Don't wait UNINTERRUPTIBLE for other resync to finishNeilBrown
When two md arrays share some block device (e.g each uses different partitions on the one device), a resync of one array will wait for the resync on the other to finish. This can be a long time and as it currently waits TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the softlockup code notices and complains. So use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead and make sure to flush signals before calling schedule. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-09-01Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.NeilBrown
When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock. The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev). However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev lock - which is already held. This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory. All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush. The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev. Then open the array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still clean. So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case where it will cause a deadlock. So remove it. This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460 and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452 though it isn't yet clear how it ever worked.

2008-08-07md: cancel check/repair requests when recovery is neededDan Williams
If a 'repair' is requested when an array is in a position to 'recover' raid1 will perform the repair while md believes a recovery is happening. Address this at both ends, i.e. cancel check/repair requests upon detecting a recover condition and do not call ->spare_active after completing a check/repair.

2008-08-05Allow faulty devices to be removed from a readonly array.NeilBrown
Removing faulty devices from an array is a two stage process. First the device is moved from being a part of the active array to being similar to a spare device. Then it can be removed by a request from user space. The first step is currently not performed for read-only arrays, so the second step can never succeed. So allow readonly arrays to remove failed devices (which aren't blocked). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-08-05Fail safely when trying to grow an array with a write-intent bitmap.NeilBrown
We cannot currently change the size of a write-intent bitmap. So if we change the size of an array which has such a bitmap, it tries to set bits beyond the end of the bitmap. For now, simply reject any request to change the size of an array which has a bitmap. mdadm can remove the bitmap and add a new one after the array has changed size. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-08-05Restore force switch of md array to readonly at reboot time.NeilBrown
A recent patch allowed do_md_stop to know whether it was being called via an ioctl or not, and thus where to allow for an extra open file descriptor when checking if it is in use. This broke then switch to readonly performed by the shutdown notifier, which needs to work even when the array is still (apparently) active (as md doesn't get told when the filesystem becomes readonly). So restore this feature by pretending that there can be lots of file descriptors open, but we still want do_md_stop to switch to readonly. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-08-05Make writes to md/safe_mode_delay immediately effective.NeilBrown
If we reduce the 'safe_mode_delay', it could still wait for the old delay to completely expire before doing anything about safe_mode. Thus the effect if the change is delayed. To make the effect more immediate, run the timeout function immediately if the delay was reduced. This may cause it to run slightly earlier that required, but that is the safer option.

2008-07-28md: do not count blocked devices as sparesDan Williams

2008-07-21md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCUNeilBrown
All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this time, havoc (and oops) can ensue. So use RCU to protect these accesses: - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock() - use list_for_each_entry_rcu - add to the list with list_add_rcu - delete from the list with list_del_rcu - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch the list_head. An audit shows that export_rdev is called: - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has already been done, - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed. - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails). - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a different list. So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case. Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-07-21md: only count actual openers as access which prevent a 'stop'NeilBrown

2008-07-21md: Fix check for overlapping devices.Andre Noll
The checks in overlaps() expect all parameters either in block-based or sector-based quantities. However, its single caller passes two rdev->data_offset arguments as well as two rdev->size arguments, the former being sector counts while the latter are measured in 1K blocks. This could cause rdev_size_store() to accept an invalid size from user space. Fix it by passing only sector-based quantities to overlaps().

2008-07-21md: Tidy up rdev_size_store a bit:Neil Brown
- used strict_strtoull in place of simple_strtoull - use my_mddev in place of rdev->mddev (they have the same value) and more significantly, - don't adjust mddev->size to fit, rather reject changes which make rdev->size smaller than mddev->size Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which does a similar thing. But it really is a better design to insist that mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow for that. The previous way invites confusion.

2008-07-11md: Make update_size() take the number of sectors.Andre Noll

2008-07-11md: Better control of when do_md_stop is allowed to stop the array.Neil Brown

Two problems: 1/ it assumes the request is coming through an open file descriptor (via ioctl) so it allows for that.
