2026-04-07md/md-llbitmap: add CleanUnwritten state for RAID-5 proactive parity buildingYu Kuai
Add new states to the llbitmap state machine to support proactive XOR parity building for RAID-5 arrays. This allows users to pre-build parity data for unwritten regions before any user data is written. New states added: - BitNeedSyncUnwritten: Transitional state when proactive sync is triggered via sysfs on Unwritten regions. - BitSyncingUnwritten: Proactive sync in progress for unwritten region. - BitCleanUnwritten: XOR parity has been pre-built, but no user data written yet. When user writes to this region, it transitions to BitDirty. New actions added: - BitmapActionProactiveSync: Trigger for proactive XOR parity building. - BitmapActionClearUnwritten: Convert CleanUnwritten/NeedSyncUnwritten/ SyncingUnwritten states back to Unwritten before recovery starts. State flows: - Current (lazy): Unwritten -> (write) -> NeedSync -> (sync) -> Dirty -> Clean - New (proactive): Unwritten -> (sysfs) -> NeedSyncUnwritten -> (sync) -> CleanUnwritten - On write to CleanUnwritten: CleanUnwritten -> (write) -> Dirty -> Clean - On disk replacement: CleanUnwritten regions are converted to Unwritten before recovery starts, so recovery only rebuilds regions with user data A new sysfs interface is added at /sys/block/mdX/md/llbitmap/proactive_sync (write-only) to trigger proactive sync. This only works for RAID-456 arrays. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/20260323054644.3351791-3-yukuai@fnnas.com/ Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fnnas.com>

2026-04-07md/raid5: validate payload size before accessing journal metadataJunrui Luo
r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb() iterate over payloads in a journal metadata block using on-disk payload size fields without validating them against the remaining space in the metadata block. A corrupted journal contains payload sizes extending beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary can cause out-of-bounds reads when accessing payload fields or computing offsets. Add bounds validation for each payload type to ensure the full payload fits within meta_size before processing.

2026-04-07md/raid0: use kvzalloc/kvfree for strip_zone and devlist allocationsGregory Price
syzbot reported a WARNING at mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_frozen_pages_noprof() triggered by create_strip_zones() in the RAID0 driver. When raid_disks is large, the allocation size exceeds MAX_PAGE_ORDER (4MB on x86), causing WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER). Convert the strip_zone and devlist allocations from kzalloc/kzalloc_objs to kvzalloc/kvzalloc_objs, which first attempts a contiguous allocation with __GFP_NOWARN and then falls back to vmalloc for large sizes. Convert the corresponding kfree calls to kvfree. Both arrays are pure metadata lookup tables (arrays of pointers and zone descriptors) accessed only via indexing, so they do not require physically contiguous memory.

2026-04-06md: fix array_state=clear sysfs deadlockYu Kuai
When "clear" is written to array_state, md_attr_store() breaks sysfs active protection so the array can delete itself from its own sysfs store method. However, md_attr_store() currently drops the mddev reference before calling sysfs_unbreak_active_protection(). Once do_md_stop(..., 0) has made the mddev eligible for delayed deletion, the temporary kobject reference taken by sysfs_break_active_protection() can become the last kobject reference protecting the md kobject. That allows sysfs_unbreak_active_protection() to drop the last kobject reference from the current sysfs writer context. kobject teardown then recurses into kernfs removal while the current sysfs node is still being unwound, and lockdep reports recursive locking on kn->active with kernfs_drain() in the call chain. Reproducer on an existing level: 1. Create an md0 linear array and activate it: mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0 echo none > /sys/block/md0/md/metadata_version echo linear > /sys/block/md0/md/level echo 1 > /sys/block/md0/md/raid_disks echo "$(cat /sys/class/block/sdb/dev)" > /sys/block/md0/md/new_dev echo "$(($(cat /sys/class/block/sdb/size) / 2))" > \ /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdb/size echo 0 > /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdb/slot echo active > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state 2. Wait briefly for the array to settle, then clear it: sleep 2 echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The warning looks like: WARNING: possible recursive locking detected bash/588 is trying to acquire lock: (kn->active#65) at __kernfs_remove+0x157/0x1d0 but task is already holding lock: (kn->active#65) at sysfs_unbreak_active_protection+0x1f/0x40 ...

2026-04-03bcache: fix uninitialized closure objectMingzhe Zou
In the previous patch ("bcache: fix cached_dev.sb_bio use-after-free and crash"), we adopted a simple modification suggestion from AI to fix the use-after-free. But in actual testing, we found an extreme case where the device is stopped before calling bch_write_bdev_super(). At this point, struct closure sb_write has not been initialized yet.

2026-03-22md/raid5: skip 2-failure compute when other disk is R5_LOCKEDFengWei Shih
When skip_copy is enabled on a doubly-degraded RAID6, a device that is being written to will be in R5_LOCKED state with R5_UPTODATE cleared. If a new read triggers fetch_block() while the write is still in flight, the 2-failure compute path may select this locked device as a compute target because it is not R5_UPTODATE. Because skip_copy makes the device page point directly to the bio page, reconstructing data into it might be risky. Also, since the compute marks the device R5_UPTODATE, it triggers WARN_ON in ops_run_io() which checks that R5_SkipCopy and R5_UPTODATE are not both set. This can be reproduced by running small-range concurrent read/write on a doubly-degraded RAID6 with skip_copy enabled, for example: mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l6 -n6 -R -f /dev/loop[0-3] missing missing echo 1 > /sys/block/md0/md/skip_copy fio --filename=/dev/md0 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --numjobs=8 \ --iodepth=32 --size=4M --runtime=30 --time_based --direct=1 Fix by checking R5_LOCKED before proceeding with the compute.

2026-03-18dm init: ensure device probing has finished in dm-mod.waitfor=Guillaume Gonnet
The early_lookup_bdev() function returns successfully when the disk device is present but not necessarily its partitions. In this situation, dm_early_create() fails as the partition block device does not exist yet. In my case, this phenomenon occurs quite often because the device is an SD card with slow reading times, on which kernel takes time to enumerate available partitions. Fortunately, the underlying device is back to "probing" state while enumerating partitions. Waiting for all probing to end is enough to fix this issue. That's also the reason why this problem never occurs with rootwait= parameter: the while loop inside wait_for_root() explicitly waits for probing to be done and then the function calls async_synchronize_full(). These lines were omitted in 035641b, even though the commit says it's based on the rootwait logic... Anyway, calling wait_for_device_probe() after our while loop does the job (it both waits for probing and calls async_synchronize_full).

2026-03-16md/md-llbitmap: skip reading rdevs that are not in_syncYu Kuai
When reading bitmap pages from member disks, the code iterates through all rdevs and attempts to read from the first available one. However, it only checks for raid_disk assignment and Faulty flag, missing the In_sync flag check. This can cause bitmap data to be read from spare disks that are still being rebuilt and don't have valid bitmap information yet. Reading stale or uninitialized bitmap data from such disks can lead to incorrect dirty bit tracking, potentially causing data corruption during recovery or normal operation. Add the In_sync flag check to ensure bitmap pages are only read from fully synchronized member disks that have valid bitmap data.

2026-03-16md/raid5: set chunk_sectors to enable full stripe I/O splittingYu Kuai
Set chunk_sectors to the full stripe width (io_opt) so that the block layer splits I/O at full stripe boundaries. This ensures that large writes are aligned to full stripes, avoiding the read-modify-write overhead that occurs with partial stripe writes in RAID-5/6. When chunk_sectors is set, the block layer's bio splitting logic in get_max_io_size() uses blk_boundary_sectors_left() to limit I/O size to the boundary. This naturally aligns split bios to full stripe boundaries, enabling more efficient full stripe writes.

2026-03-16md/raid10: fix deadlock with check operation and nowait requestsJosh Hunt
When an array check is running it will raise the barrier at which point normal requests will become blocked and increment the nr_pending value to signal there is work pending inside of wait_barrier(). NOWAIT requests do not block and so will return immediately with an error, and additionally do not increment nr_pending in wait_barrier(). Upstream change commit 43806c3d5b9b ("raid10: cleanup memleak at raid10_make_request") added a call to raid_end_bio_io() to fix a memory leak when NOWAIT requests hit this condition. raid_end_bio_io() eventually calls allow_barrier() and it will unconditionally do an atomic_dec_and_test(&conf->nr_pending) even though the corresponding increment on nr_pending didn't happen in the NOWAIT case. This can be easily seen by starting a check operation while an application is doing nowait IO on the same array. This results in a deadlocked state due to nr_pending value underflowing and so the md resync thread gets stuck waiting for nr_pending to == 0. Output of r10conf state of the array when we hit this condition: crash> struct r10conf barrier = 1, nr_pending = { counter = -41 }, nr_waiting = 15, nr_queued = 0, Example of md_sync thread stuck waiting on raise_barrier() and other requests stuck in wait_barrier(): md1_resync [<0>] raise_barrier+0xce/0x1c0 [<0>] raid10_sync_request+0x1ca/0x1ed0 [<0>] md_do_sync+0x779/0x1110 [<0>] md_thread+0x90/0x160 [<0>] kthread+0xbe/0xf0 [<0>] ret_from_fork+0x34/0x50 [<0>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 kworker/u1040:2+flush-253:4 [<0>] wait_barrier+0x1de/0x220 [<0>] regular_request_wait+0x30/0x180 [<0>] raid10_make_request+0x261/0x1000 [<0>] md_handle_request+0x13b/0x230 [<0>] __submit_bio+0x107/0x1f0 [<0>] submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x16f/0x390 [<0>] ext4_io_submit+0x24/0x40 [<0>] ext4_do_writepages+0x254/0xc80 [<0>] ext4_writepages+0x84/0x120 [<0>] do_writepages+0x7a/0x260 [<0>] __writeback_single_inode+0x3d/0x300 [<0>] writeback_sb_inodes+0x1dd/0x470 [<0>] __writeback_inodes_wb+0x4c/0xe0 [<0>] wb_writeback+0x18b/0x2d0 [<0>] wb_workfn+0x2a1/0x400 [<0>] process_one_work+0x149/0x330 [<0>] worker_thread+0x2d2/0x410 [<0>] kthread+0xbe/0xf0 [<0>] ret_from_fork+0x34/0x50 [<0>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Fixes: 43806c3d5b9b ("raid10: cleanup memleak at raid10_make_request") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <johunt@akamai.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/20260303005619.1352958-1-johunt@akamai.com Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fnnas.com>
2026-03-16md: suppress spurious superblock update error message for dm-raidChen Cheng
dm-raid has external metadata management (mddev->external = 1) and no persistent superblock (mddev->persistent = 0). For these arrays, there's no superblock to update, so the error message is spurious.

2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: log target_block instead of index_in_regionEric Biggers
The log message for a FEC error or correction includes the data device name and index_in_region as the context. Although the result of FEC (for a particular dm-verity instance) is expected to be the same for a given index_in_region, index_in_region does not uniquely identify the actual target block that is being corrected. Since that value (target_block) is likely more useful, log it instead. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: pass down index_in_region instead of rsbEric Biggers
Replace 'rsb', which is a byte index, with 'index_in_region' which is a block index. The block index is slightly easier to compute, it matches what fec_read_bufs() wants, and it avoids the mismatch between the name and the units of the variable. ('rsb' stood for "Reed-Solomon block", but its units were bytes, not blocks.) fec_decode_bufs() does want it as a byte index when computing parity_block, but that's easily handled locally. As long as the parameters to the log messages are being adjusted, also eliminate the unnecessary casts to 'unsigned long long'. %llu is the correct way to print a u64 in the Linux kernel, as documented in printk-formats.rst. There's no PRIu64 macro like there is in userspace. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: compute target region directlyEric Biggers
Instead of determining the target block's region by checking which block of the k blocks being iterated over in fec_read_bufs() is equal to the target block, instead just directly use the quotient of the division of target_block by region_blocks. This is the same value, just derived in a more straightforward way. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: move computation of offset and rsb down a levelEric Biggers
verity_fec_decode() computes (offset, rsb) from the target block index and calls fec_decode_rsb() with these parameters. Move this computation into fec_decode_rsb(), and rename fec_decode_rsb() to fec_decode(). This ends up being simpler and enables further refactoring, specifically making use of the quotient from the division more easily. The function renaming also eliminates a reference to the ambiguous term "rsb". This change does mean the same div64_u64_rem() can now be executed twice per block, since verity_fec_decode() calls fec_decode() up to twice per block. However, this cost is negligible compared to the rest of FEC. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: rename block_offset to out_posEric Biggers
The current position in the output block buffer is called 'pos' in fec_decode_rsb(), and 'block_offset' in fec_read_bufs() and fec_decode_bufs(). These names aren't very clear, especially 'block_offset' which is easily confused with the offset of a message or parity block or the position in the current parity block. Rename it to 'out_pos'.

2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: simplify deinterleavingEric Biggers

2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: simplify computation of ileavedEric Biggers
fec_read_bufs() just iterates over a sequence of message blocks with step size region_blocks. At each step, 'ileaved' is just the offset (in bytes) to one of these blocks. Compute it in the straightforward way, eliminating fec_interleave(). In more detail, previously the code computed 'ileaved = (n / k) + (n % k) * (region_blocks * block_size)' where n = rsb * k + i and 0 <= i < k. Substituting 'n' gives: ileaved = ((rsb * k + i) / k) + ((rsb * k + i) % k) * region_blocks * block_size = rsb + (i * region_blocks * block_size) The result is more efficient and easier to understand.

2026-03-09dm-verity-fec: simplify computation of rsbEric Biggers
To compute 'rsb', verity_fec_decode() divides 'offset' by 'v->fec->region_blocks << v->data_dev_block_bits', then subtracts the quotient times that divisor. That's simply the long way to do a modulo operation, i.e. a - b * floor(a / b) instead of just a % b. Use div64_u64_rem() to get the remainder more concisely.
