MD: ignore discard request for hard disks of hybid raid1/raid10 array

2013-05-08T03:08:23+00:00

commit 32f9f570d04461a41bdcd5c1d93b41ebc5ce182a upstream.

In SSD/hard disk hybid storage, discard request should be ignored for hard
disk. We used to be doing this way, but the unplug path forgets it.

This is suitable for stable tree since v3.6.

md: raid1,10: Handle REQ_WRITE_SAME flag in write bios

2013-04-25T19:51:10+00:00

commit c8dc9c654794a765ca61baed07f84ed8aaa7ca8c upstream.

Set mddev queue's max_write_same_sectors to its chunk_sector value (before
disk_stack_limits merges the underlying disk limits.)  With that in place,
be sure to handle writes coming down from the block layer that have the
REQ_WRITE_SAME flag set.  That flag needs to be copied into any newly cloned
write bio.

md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock with freeze_array()

2013-03-14T18:26:22+00:00

commit ee0b0244030434cdda26777bfb98962447e080cd upstream.

When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains
all pending requests by calling freeze_array().
This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep,
but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather
than in the per-array request queue.

When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process
plug to the per-array request queue (from which
flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up
freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so
it will block forever.

So add the requires wake_up() calls.

This bug was introduced by commit
   f54a9d0e59c4bea3db733921ca9147612a6f292c
for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present
since linux-3.6.  As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is
suitable for -stable.

Merge branch 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2012-12-17T21:39:11+00:00

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8.  The
  branch contains:

   - A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
     window.  Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
     there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
     situation on individual pulls can be improved.

   - A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.

   - Queue improvement for loop from Lukas.  This grew into adding a
     generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
     lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
     also using it.

   - A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.

   - Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
     to be used as an identifier."

wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface

2012-11-30T10:47:57+00:00

New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

md/raid1{,0}: fix deadlock in bitmap_unplug.

2012-11-27T01:14:40+00:00

If the raid1 or raid10 unplug function gets called
from a make_request function (which is very possible) when
there are bios on the current->bio_list list, then it will not
be able to successfully call bitmap_unplug() and it could
need to submit more bios and wait for them to complete.
But they won't complete while current->bio_list is non-empty.

So detect that case and handle the unplugging off to another thread
just like we already do when called from within the scheduler.

RAID1 version of bug was introduced in 3.6, so that part of fix is
suitable for 3.6.y.  RAID10 part won't apply.

md/raid10: decrement correct pending counter when writing to replacement.

2012-11-22T04:12:42+00:00

When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully
and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to
and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev,
even if this write was to the replacement.

This means that any writes to an array while a replacement
was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary
device to go negative, so it could never be removed.

This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

md/raid10: close race that lose writes lost when replacement completes.

2012-11-22T04:12:36+00:00

When a replacement operation completes there is a small window
when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement
still looks like a replacement.  The faulty should be removed and
the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant.

So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that
the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it
doesn't.  If the primary device is faulty it just gives up.  This
can lead to corruption.

So make the code more robust: if either  the primary or the
replacement is present and working, write to them.  Only when
neither are present do we give up.

This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

MD RAID10: Fix oops when creating RAID10 arrays via dm-raid.c

2012-10-31T00:42:30+00:00

Commit 2863b9eb didn't take into account the changes to add TRIM support to
RAID10 (commit 532a2a3fb).  That is, when using dm-raid.c to create the
RAID10 arrays, there is no mddev->gendisk or mddev->queue.  The code added
to support TRIM simply assumes that mddev->queue is available without
checking.  The result is an oops any time dm-raid.c attempts to create a
RAID10 device.
