md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.

2014-01-14T05:44:08+00:00

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.

If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.

However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update.  We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.

This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag.  If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

   - Two xen-blkfront small fixes

   - Cleanup of submit_bio_wait() type uses in the kernel, unifying
     that.  From Kent

   - A fix for 32-bit blkg_rwstat reading.  I apologize for this one

md: test mddev->flags more safely in md_check_recovery.

2013-11-28T00:00:08+00:00

commit 7a0a5355cbc71efa md: Don't test all of mddev->flags at once.
made most tests on mddev->flags safer, but missed one.

When
commit 260fa034ef7a4ff8b7306 md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop.
added MD_STILL_CLOSED, this caused md_check_recovery to misbehave.
It can think there is something to do but find nothing.  This can
lead to the md thread spinning during array shutdown.

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed.

md/raid5: avoid deadlock when raid5 array has unack badblocks during md_stop_writes.

2013-11-19T04:19:17+00:00

When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack
badblock until md_update_sb() is called.
But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call
md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always
be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write()
can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock.

To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is
running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for
sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock.

This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR
(which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a
metadata update in that case.

md: use MD_RECOVERY_INTR instead of kthread_should_stop in resync thread.

2013-11-19T04:19:17+00:00

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.

So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.

Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

md: fix some places where mddev_lock return value is not checked.

2013-11-19T04:19:17+00:00

Sometimes we need to lock and mddev and cannot cope with
failure due to interrupt.
In these cases we should use mutex_lock, not mutex_lock_interruptible.
