2016-12-14T19:01:00+00:00

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - various fixes and improvements to request-based DM and DM multipath

 - some locking improvements in DM bufio

 - add Kconfig option to disable the DM block manager's extra locking
   which mainly serves as a developer tool

 - a few bug fixes to DM's persistent-data

 - a couple changes to prepare for multipage biovec support in the block
   layer

 - various improvements and cleanups in the DM core, DM cache, DM raid
   and DM crypt

 - add ability to have DM crypt use keys from the kernel key retention
   service

 - add a new "error_writes" feature to the DM flakey target, reads are
   left unchanged in this mode

md: separate flags for superblock changes

2016-12-09T06:01:47+00:00

The mddev->flags are used for different purposes. There are a lot of
places we check/change the flags without masking unrelated flags, we
could check/change unrelated flags. These usage are most for superblock
write, so spearate superblock related flags. This should make the code
clearer and also fix real bugs.

dm raid: fix discard support regression

2016-12-08T19:13:12+00:00

Commit ecbfb9f118 ("dm raid: add raid level takeover support") moved the
configure_discard_support() call from raid_ctr() to raid_preresume().

Enabling/disabling discard _must_ happen during table load (through the
.ctr hook).  Fix this regression by moving the
configure_discard_support() call back to raid_ctr().

dm raid: don't allow "write behind" with raid4/5/6

2016-12-08T19:13:11+00:00

Remove CTR_FLAG_MAX_WRITE_BEHIND from raid4/5/6's valid ctr flags.

Only the md raid1 personality supports setting a maximum number
of "write behind" write IOs on any legs set to "write mostly".
"write mostly" enhances throughput with slow links/disks.

Technically the "write behind" value is a write intent bitmap
property only being respected by the raid1 personality.  It allows a
maximum number of "write behind" writes to any "write mostly" raid1
mirror legs to be delayed and avoids reads from such legs.

No other MD personalities supported via dm-raid make use of "write
behind", thus setting this property is superfluous; it wouldn't cause
harm but it is correct to reject it.

dm raid: correct error messages on old metadata validation

2016-11-21T14:52:05+00:00

When target 1.9.1 gets takeover/reshape requests on devices with old superblock
format not supporting such conversions and rejects them in super_init_validation(),
it logs bogus error message (e.g. Reshape when a takeover is requested).

Whilst on it, add messages for disk adding/removing and stripe sectors
reshape requests, use the newer rs_{takeover,reshape}_requested() API,
address a raid10 false positive in checking array positions and
remove rs_set_new() because device members are already set proper.

dm raid: fix activation of existing raid4/10 devices

2016-10-17T20:41:31+00:00

dm-raid 1.9.0 fails to activate existing RAID4/10 devices that have the
old superblock format (which does not have takeover/reshaping support
that was added via commit 33e53f06850f).

Fix validation path for old superblocks by reverting to the old raid4
layout and basing checks on mddev->new_{level,layout,...} members in
super_init_validation().

dm raid: fix compat_features validation

2016-10-11T19:19:17+00:00

In ecbfb9f118bce4 ("dm raid: add raid level takeover support") a new
compatible feature flag was added.  Validation for these compat_features
was added but this only passes for new raid mappings with this feature
flag.  This causes previously created raid mappings to be failed at
import.

Check compat_features for the only valid combination.

dm raid: support raid0 with missing metadata devices

2016-08-17T14:42:39+00:00

The raid0 MD personality does not start a raid0 array with any of its
data devices missing.

dm-raid was removing data/metadata device pairs unconditionally if it
failed to read a superblock off the respective metadata device of such
pair, resulting in failure to start arrays with the raid0 personality.

Avoid removing any data/metadata device pairs in case of raid0
(e.g. lvm2 segment type 'raid0_meta') thus allowing MD to start the
array.

Also, avoid region size validation for raid0.

dm raid: enhance attempt_restore_of_faulty_devices() to support more devices

2016-08-16T20:22:24+00:00

attempt_restore_of_faulty_devices() is limited to 64 when it should support
the new maximum of 253 when identifying any failed devices. It clears any
revivable devices via an MD personality hot remove and add cylce to allow
for their recovery.

Address by using existing functions to retrieve and update all failed
devices' bitfield members in the dm raid superblocks on all RAID devices
and check for any devices to clear in it.

Whilst on it, don't call attempt_restore_of_faulty_devices() for any MD
personality not providing disk hot add/remove methods (i.e. raid0 now),
because such personalities don't support reviving of failed disks.

dm raid: fix restoring of failed devices regression

2016-08-16T20:21:31+00:00

'lvchange --refresh RaidLV' causes a mapped device suspend/resume cycle
aiming at device restore and resync after transient device failures.  This
failed because flag RT_FLAG_RS_RESUMED was always cleared in the suspend path,
thus the device restore wasn't performed in the resume path.

Solve by removing RT_FLAG_RS_RESUMED from the suspend path and resume
unconditionally.  Also, remove superfluous comment from raid_resume().
