The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel
is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number.
This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and
programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and
find that it has created something. It is easy for a race to cause
udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to
suddenly re-appear.
For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices
echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array
This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm
normally avoids.
Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does
not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems.
This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR)
and a minor of 512 and up. This devices created by writing to
new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).
If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.
Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.
We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.
This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

If an array has a bitmap, the when we set the "has bitmap" flag we
incorrectly clear the "is clean" flag.
"is clean" isn't really important when a bitmap is present, but it is

md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.
This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.
So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.
Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.

If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

If an md array with externally managed metadata (e.g. DDF or IMSM)
is in use, then we should not set safemode==2 at shutdown because:
1/ this is ineffective: user-space need to be involved in any 'safemode' handling,
2/ The safemode management code doesn't cope with safemode==2 on external metadata
and md_check_recover enters an infinite loop.
Even at shutdown, an infinite-looping process can be problematic, so this
could cause shutdown to hang.

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),
then that process maintains a pointer to md_event_waiters, and when
the try to unlink from that list, they will oops.
The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:
1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by
setting md_unloading)
2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and
3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our
wait_queue_head.

md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file. But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.
So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.
Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write. Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

level_store() currently does not make sure the metadata is

Any level with a ->thread will quickly notice this and update the

metadata update happens until the array is stopped. At that point the
metadata is written.
This is later that we would like. While the delay doesn't risk any
data it can cause confusion. So if there is no md thread, immediately
update the metadata after a level change.

When adding a new device into an array it is normally important to
clear any stale data from ->recovery_offset else the new device may
not be recovered properly.
However when re-adding a device which is known to be nearly in-sync,
this is not needed and can be detrimental. The (bitmap-based)
resync will still happen, and further recovery is only needed from
where-ever it was already up to.
So if save_raid_disk is set, signifying a re-add, don't clear
->recovery_offset.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Since commit d70ed2e4fa
MD: Allow restarting an interrupted incremental recovery.
we don't write out the metadata to devices while they are recovering.
This had a good reason, but has unfortunate consequences. This patch
changes things to make them work better.
At issue is what happens if the array is shut down while a recovery is
happening, particularly a bitmap-guided recovery.
Ideally the recovery should pick up where it left off.
However the metadata cannot represent the state "A recovery is in
process which is guided by the bitmap".
Before the above mentioned commit, we wrote metadata to the device
which said "this is being recovered and it is up to <here>". So after
a restart, a full recovery (not bitmap-guided) would happen from
where-ever it was up to.
After the commit the metadata wasn't updated so it still said "This
device is fully in sync with <this> event count". That leads to a
bitmap-based recovery following the whole bitmap, which should be a
lot less work than a full recovery from some starting point. So this
was an improvement.
However updates some metadata but not all leads to other problems.
In particular, the metadata written to the fully-up-to-date device
record that the array has all devices present (even though some are
recovering). So on restart, mdadm wants to find all devices and
expects them to have current event counts.
Obviously it doesn't (some have old event counts) so (when assembling
with --incremental) it waits indefinitely for the rest of the expected
devices.
It really is wrong to not update all the metadata together. Do that
is bound to cause confusion.
Instead, we should make it possible to record the truth in the
metadata. i.e. we need to be able to record that a device is being
recovered based on the bitmap.
We already have a Feature flag to say that recovery is happening. We
now add another one to say that it is a bitmap-based recovery.
With this we can remove the code that disables the write-out of
metadata on some devices.
So this patch:
- moves the setting of 'saved_raid_disk' from add_new_disk to
the validate_super methods. This makes sure it is always set
properly, both when adding a new device to an array, and when
assembling an array from a collection of devices.
- Adds a metadata flag MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_BITMAP which is only
used if MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_OFFSET is set, and record that a
bitmap-based recovery is allowed.
This is only present in v1.x metadata. v0.90 doesn't support
devices which are in the middle of recovery at all.
- Only skips writing metadata to Faulty devices.
- Also allows rdev state to be set to "-insync" via sysfs.
This can be used for external-metadata arrays. When the
'role' is set the device is assumed to be in-sync. If, after
setting the role, we set the state to "-insync", the role is
moved to saved_raid_disk which effectively says the device is
partly in-sync with that slot and needs a bitmap recovery.

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.
If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.
However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update. We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.
This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag. If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

badblock until md_update_sb() is called.
But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call
md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always
be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write()
can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock.
To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is
running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for
sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock.
This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR
(which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a
metadata update in that case.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.
So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.
Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

Sometimes we need to lock and mddev and cannot cope with
failure due to interrupt.
In these cases we should use mutex_lock, not mutex_lock_interruptible.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue'
has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in
md_alloc().
However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine
for the new level is called for an array which has already had the
stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final
settings.
So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store().
A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes
discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a
RAID0.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which
blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.
- Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.
- A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.
- Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.
- Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.
- A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout
handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict
with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.
- A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.
- A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
Overstreet.
- A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop
crash and memory corruption on blk cg.
- Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.
A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable
bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to
pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward
rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of
problems with it. The rest of the patches applied directly and no
further changes were made"

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.
This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.
There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
error on module builds. Reported by build test robot. Fixed.

When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so
that all buffers get flushed.
So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will
be nothing to flush.
However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just
moments before some other process which was writing closes their file
descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might
not get flushed.
So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev(). However at this point it is
holding ->reconfig_mutex. So if the array is currently 'clean' then
the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array
can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread
can get ->reconfig_mutex. So we deadlock.
We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take
->reconfig_mutex.
However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it
after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array.
This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward.
So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED. Set it before calling
sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the
STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further
opens.
It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to
it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl. Just don't do that.

mddev->flags is mostly used to record if an update of the
metadata is needed. Sometimes the whole field is tested
instead of just the important bits. This makes it difficult
to introduce more state bits.

that actually need testing.

Whe we set the safe_mode_timeout to a smaller value we trigger a timeout
immediately - otherwise the small value might not be honoured.
However if the previous timeout was 0 meaning "no timeout", we didn't.
This would mean that no timeout happens until the next write completes,

md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added
to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.
This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
subsequent release.
More specifically:
If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
is a bitmap is present).
If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there
was no write.
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last
sync operation that was performed. This is especially useful when
it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs. If the
last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of
descrepancies found by the user-initiated check. If it was a
"repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of
descrepancies repaired. etc.

When a device has failed, it needs to be removed from the personality
module before it can be removed from the array as a whole.
The first step is performed by md_check_recovery() which is called
from the raid management thread.
So when a HOT_REMOVE ioctl arrives, wait briefly for md_check_recovery
to have run. This increases the chance that the ioctl will succeed.
