md: fix regression with re-adding devices to arrays with no metadata

2011-04-17T20:16:15+00:00

commit bf572541ab44240163eaa2d486b06f306a31d45a upstream.

Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
should be.

In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
didn't.

This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
succeeds.

This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was
applied.

block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead

2011-04-17T20:16:14+00:00

commit e692cb668fdd5a712c6ed2a2d6f2a36ee83997b4 upstream.

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.

There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.

The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

md: fix bug with re-adding of partially recovered device.

2011-04-17T20:16:10+00:00

commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream.

With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete.  So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.

However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered.  If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.

When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.

So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

md: fix return value of rdev_size_change()

2011-04-17T20:15:43+00:00

commit c26a44ed1e552aaa1d4ceb71842002d235fe98d7 upstream.

When trying to grow an array by enlarging component devices,
rdev_size_store() expects the return value of rdev_size_change() to be
in sectors, but the actual value is returned in KBs.

This functionality was broken by commit
     dd8ac336c13fd8afdb082ebacb1cddd5cf727889
so this patch is suitable for any kernel since 2.6.30.

md/raid1: really fix recovery looping when single good device fails.

2011-04-17T20:15:43+00:00

commit 8f9e0ee38f75d4740daa9e42c8af628d33d19a02 upstream.

Commit 4044ba58dd15cb01797c4fd034f39ef4a75f7cc3 supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error
during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in
an infinite loop.

However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
from the array.  But that does not happen in this case.  So add a test
so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.

This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when
recovery_disabled was introduced.

md: fix another deadlock with removing sysfs attributes.

2011-04-17T20:15:33+00:00

commit bb4f1e9d0e2ef93de8e36ca0f5f26625fcd70b7d upstream.

Move the deletion of sysfs attributes from reconfig_mutex to
open_mutex didn't really help as a process can try to take
open_mutex while holding reconfig_mutex, so the same deadlock can
happen, just requiring one more process to be involved in the chain.

I looks like I cannot easily use locking to wait for the sysfs
deletion to complete, so don't.

The only things that we cannot do while the deletions are still
pending is other things which can change the sysfs namespace: run,
takeover, stop.  Each of these can fail with -EBUSY.
So set a flag while doing a sysfs deletion, and fail run, takeover,
stop if that flag is set.

This is suitable for 2.6.35.x

dm ioctl: release _hash_lock between devices in remove_all

2010-08-26T23:43:37+00:00

commit 98f332855effef02aeb738e4d62e9a5b903c52fd upstream.

This patch changes dm_hash_remove_all() to release _hash_lock when
removing a device.  After removing the device, dm_hash_remove_all()
takes _hash_lock and searches the hash from scratch again.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch, which changes device
deletion code to wait for md reference to be 0.  Without this patch,
the wait in the next patch may cause AB-BA deadlock:

dm: prevent access to md being deleted

2010-08-26T23:43:36+00:00

commit abdc568b0540bec6d3e0afebac496adef1189b77 upstream.

This patch prevents access to mapped_device which is being deleted.

Currently, even after a mapped_device has been removed from the hash,
it could be accessed through idr_find() using minor number.
That could cause a race and NULL pointer reference below:

dm snapshot: test chunk size against both origin and snapshot

commit c24110450650f17f7d3ba4fbe01f01ac5a115456 upstream.

Validate chunk size against both origin and snapshot sector size

Don't allow chunk size smaller than either origin or snapshot logical
sector size. Reading or writing data not aligned to sector size is not
allowed and causes immediate errors.

This requires us to open the origin before initialising the
exception store and to export dm_snap_origin.

dm snapshot: iterate origin and cow devices

2010-08-26T23:43:35+00:00

commit 1e5554c8428bc7209a83e2d07ca724be4d981ce3 upstream.

Iterate both origin and snapshot devices

iterate_devices method should call the callback for all the devices where
the bio may be remapped. Thus, snapshot_iterate_devices should call the callback
for both snapshot and origin underlying devices because it remaps some bios
to the snapshot and some to the origin.

snapshot_iterate_devices called the callback only for the origin device.
This led to badly calculated device limits if snapshot and origin were placed
on different types of disks.
