md/raid1: fix NULL pointer dereference

2018-02-25T18:44:39+00:00

In handle_write_finished(), if r1_bio->bios[m] != NULL, it thinks
the corresponding conf->mirrors[m].rdev is also not NULL. But, it
is not always true.

Even if some io hold replacement rdev(i.e. rdev->nr_pending.count > 0),
raid1_remove_disk() can also set the rdev as NULL. That means,
bios[m] != NULL, but mirrors[m].rdev is NULL, resulting in NULL
pointer dereference in handle_write_finished and sync_request_write.

This patch can fix BUGs as follows:

md/raid1,raid10: silence warning about wait-within-wait

2017-12-11T16:52:34+00:00

If you prepare_to_wait() after a previous prepare_to_wait(),
but before calling schedule(), you get warning:

  do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=2

This is appropriate as it is often a bug.  The event that the
first prepare_to_wait() expects might wake up the schedule following
the second prepare_to_wait(), which could be confusing.

However if both prepare_to_wait()s are part of simple wait_event()
loops, and if the inner one is rarely called, then there is
no problem.  The inner loop is too simple to get confused by
a stray wakeup, and the outer loop won't spin unduly because the
inner doesnt affect it often.

This pattern occurs in both raid1.c and raid10.c in the use of
flush_pending_writes().

The warning can be silenced by setting current->state to TASK_RUNNING.

raid1: remove obsolete code in raid1_write_request

2017-11-02T04:32:24+00:00

There are some lines could be removed due to recent
change for raid1 such as commit 3956df15d634 ("md:

Also, seems some comments are put to wrong place,
move them before wait_barrier.

raid1: prevent freeze_array/wait_all_barriers deadlock

2017-11-02T04:32:21+00:00

If freeze_array is attempted in the middle of close_sync/
wait_all_barriers, deadlock can occur.

freeze_array will wait for nr_pending and nr_queued to line up.
wait_all_barriers increments nr_pending for each barrier bucket, one
at a time, but doesn't actually issue IO that could be counted in
nr_queued. So freeze_array is blocked until wait_all_barriers
completes and allow_all_barriers runs. At the same time, when
_wait_barrier sees array_frozen == 1, it stops and waits for
freeze_array to complete.

Prevent the deadlock by making close_sync call _wait_barrier and
_allow_barrier for one bucket at a time, instead of deferring the
_allow_barrier calls until after all _wait_barriers are complete.

md: use TASK_IDLE instead of blocking signals

2017-11-02T04:32:21+00:00

Hi - I submit this patch for the next merge window:

Some times ago, I made a patch f9c79bc05a2a that blocks signals around the
schedule() calls in MD. The MD subsystem needs to do an uninterruptible
sleep that is not accounted in load average - so we block signals and use
interruptible sleep.

The kernel has a special TASK_IDLE state for this purpose, so we can use
it instead of blocking signals. This patch doesn't fix any bug, it just
makes the code simpler.

md: remove special meaning of ->quiesce(.., 2)

2017-11-02T04:32:20+00:00

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call ->quiesce(.., 1); ->quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.

md: move suspend_hi/lo handling into core md code

2017-11-02T04:32:19+00:00

responding to ->suspend_lo and ->suspend_hi is similar
to responding to ->suspended.  It is best to wait in
the common core code without incrementing ->active_io.
This allows mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to work while
requests are waiting for suspend_lo/hi to change.
This is will be important after a subsequent patch
which uses mddev_suspend() to synchronize updating for
suspend_lo/hi.

So move the code for testing suspend_lo/hi out of raid1.c
and raid5.c, and place it in md.c

md: rename some drivers/md/ files to have an "md-" prefix

2017-10-17T02:06:36+00:00

Motivated by the desire to illiminate the imprecise nature of
DM-specific patches being unnecessarily sent to both the MD maintainer
and mailing-list.  Which is born out of the fact that DM files also
reside in drivers/md/

Now all MD-specific files in drivers/md/ start with either "raid" or
"md-" and the MAINTAINERS file has been updated accordingly.
