md: fix small irregularity with start_ro module parameter

2010-01-28T23:02:18+00:00

commit 0f9552b5dc4fe10da37fa3f4a4ca185d90fa41c9 upstream.

The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write.  This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device.  This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.

However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.

So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

DM: Fix device mapper topology stacking

2010-01-25T18:49:41+00:00

commit b27d7f16d3c6c27345d4280a739809c1c2c4c0b5 upstream.

Make DM use bdev_stack_limits() function so that partition offsets get
taken into account when calculating alignment.  Clarify stacking
warnings.

Also remove obsolete clearing of final alignment_offset and misalignment
flag.

md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms

2010-01-06T23:03:49+00:00

commit cbd1998377504df005302ac90d49db72a48552a6 upstream.

evms configures md arrays by:
  open device
  send ioctl
  close device

for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.

So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).

This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

dm crypt: make wipe message also wipe essiv key

2009-12-18T22:05:04+00:00

commit 542da317668c35036e8471822a564b609d05af66 upstream.

The "wipe key" message is used to wipe the volume key from memory
temporarily, for example when suspending to RAM.

But the initialisation vector in ESSIV mode is calculated from the
hashed volume key, so the wipe message should wipe this IV key too and
reinitialise it when the volume key is reinstated.

This patch adds an IV wipe method called from a wipe message callback.
ESSIV is then reinitialised using the init function added by the
last patch.

dm crypt: separate essiv allocation from initialisation

2009-12-18T22:05:03+00:00

commit b95bf2d3d5a48b095bffe2a0cd8c40453cf59557 upstream.

This patch separates the construction of IV from its initialisation.
(For ESSIV it is a hash calculation based on volume key.)

Constructor code now preallocates hash tfm and salt array
and saves it in a private IV structure.

The next patch requires this to reinitialise the wiped IV
without reallocating memory when resuming a suspended device.

dm snapshot: cope with chunk size larger than origin

2009-12-18T22:05:02+00:00

commit 8e87b9b81b3c370f7e53c1ab6e1c3519ef37a644 upstream.

Under some special conditions the snapshot hash_size is calculated as zero.
This patch instead sets a minimum value of 64, the same as for the
pending exception table.

rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is an undefined operation (it expands to shift
by -1).  init_exception_table with an argument of 0 would fail with -ENOMEM.

The way to trigger the problem is to create a snapshot with a chunk size
that is larger than the origin device.

dm: avoid _hash_lock deadlock

2009-12-18T22:05:02+00:00

commit 6076905b5ef39e0ea58db32583c9e0036c05e47b upstream.

Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events
on a device that is being removed.

_hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the
outstanding events.  Sending the events requests the _hash_lock
again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid.

This patch introduces a separate lock around regions that modify the
link to the hash table (dm_set_mdptr) or the name or uuid so that
dm_copy_name_and_uuid no longer needs _hash_lock.

Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists
so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG()
while md is being freed.

The deadlock:

commit 5861f1be00b3b70f8ab5e5a81392a6cf69666cd2 upstream.

Use kzfree for salt deallocation because it is derived from the volume
key.  Use a common error path in ESSIV constructor.

Required by a later patch which fixes the way key material is wiped

Define private structures for IV so it's easy to add further attributes

operation.

There are no functional changes in this patch.

dm snapshot: only take lock for statustype info not table

2009-12-18T22:04:59+00:00

commit 94e76572b5dd37b1f0f4b3742ee8a565daead932 upstream.

Take snapshot lock only for STATUSTYPE_INFO, not STATUSTYPE_TABLE.

Commit 4c6fff445d7aa753957856278d4d93bcad6e2c14
(dm-snapshot-lock-snapshot-while-supplying-status.patch)
introduced this use of the lock, but userspace applications using
libdevmapper have been found to request STATUSTYPE_TABLE while the device
is suspended and the lock is already held, leading to deadlock.  Since
the lock is not necessary in this case, don't try to take it.
