input: add I2C to config since the driver makes several i2c*() calls

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

Add to help text that the Intel I2C ICH (i801) driver is also needed
for this kernel.

Add LEDS_CLASS to config since the driver makes les_classdev_*() calls:
ERROR: "led_classdev_register" [drivers/input/misc/apanel.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__led_classdev_unregister" [drivers/input/misc/apanel.ko]

md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlock

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the
2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework.

Abstract:

When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the
resync threads of md RAID10 could stall.

This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter.  But
I think stall is not preferable.  If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will
fail because of resource busy.

The deadlock mechanism:

The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to
be handled when recovering.  The "remaining" counter is incremented when
building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in
end_sync_write().

If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining"
should be decremented if it has already been incremented.  I found a case
where this decrement is forgotten.  This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock
because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but
end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter
mismatch.

For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case:

Personalities : [raid10]
md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_]
      [>....................]  recovery =  2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec

This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled.
An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock.

md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__]
      [=>...................]  recovery =  5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec

 2739 ?        S<     0:17 [md0_raid10]
28608 ?        D<     0:00 [md0_resync]

28830 pts/1    R+     0:00 ps ax
31819 ?        D<     0:00 [kjournald]

The resync thread keeps working, but actually it is deadlocked.

Patch:
By this patch, the remaining counter will be decremented if needed.

md: fix possible raid1/raid10 deadlock on read error during resync

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for
another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing.

If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync
request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync
progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes.  Thus
a deadlock.

This patch fixes the problem.

md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layouts

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the
disk with the lowest block address.

Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from
the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting
of the first band of stripes.

Some advantages:

The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be
used.  The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the
inner blocks.

Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the
first part of the disks.

Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as
they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks
involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk.

If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the
lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

md: lock access to rdev attributes properly

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes.  We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute.  We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.

So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.

rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions.  We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain.  So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the
function.

md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-write

2008-03-05T00:35:18+00:00

A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only.  So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread.  There is one place we didn't do this.

The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started.  The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write).  So the reshape will not proceed.

On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not
be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.
