When disk failure occurs on new disks for reshape, mddev-&gt;degraded
is not calculated correctly. Faulty bit of the failure device is not
set before raid5_calc_degraded(conf).

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/loop[012]
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/loop3
mdadm /dev/md0 --grow -n4
mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop3 # simulating disk failure

cat /sys/block/md0/md/degraded # it outputs 0, but it should be 1.

However, mdadm -D /dev/md0 will show that it is degraded. It's a bug.
It can be fixed by moving the resources raid5_calc_degraded() depends
on before it.

The -&gt;recovery_offset shows how much of a non-InSync device is actually
in sync - how much has been recoveryed.

When performing a recovery, -&gt;curr_resync and -&gt;curr_resync_completed
follow the device address being recovered and so can be used to update
-&gt;recovery_offset.

When performing a reshape, -&gt;curr_resync* might follow the device
addresses (raid5) or might follow array addresses (raid10), so cannot
in general be used to set -&gt;recovery_offset.  When reshaping backwards,
-&gt;curre_resync* measures from the *end* of the array-or-device, so is
particularly unhelpful.

So change the common code in md.c to only use -&gt;curr_resync_complete
for the simple recovery case, and add code to raid5.c to update
-&gt;recovery_offset during a forwards reshape.

Hi - I submit this patch for the next merge window:

Some times ago, I made a patch f9c79bc05a2a that blocks signals around the
schedule() calls in MD. The MD subsystem needs to do an uninterruptible
sleep that is not accounted in load average - so we block signals and use
interruptible sleep.

The kernel has a special TASK_IDLE state for this purpose, so we can use
it instead of blocking signals. This patch doesn't fix any bug, it just
makes the code simpler.

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call -&gt;quiesce(.., 1); -&gt;quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.

responding to -&gt;suspend_lo and -&gt;suspend_hi is similar
to responding to -&gt;suspended.  It is best to wait in
the common core code without incrementing -&gt;active_io.
This allows mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to work while
requests are waiting for suspend_lo/hi to change.
This is will be important after a subsequent patch
which uses mddev_suspend() to synchronize updating for
suspend_lo/hi.

So move the code for testing suspend_lo/hi out of raid1.c
and raid5.c, and place it in md.c

Having both a bitmap and a journal is pointless.
Attempting to do so can corrupt the bitmap if the journal
replay happens before the bitmap is initialized.
Rather than try to avoid this corruption, simply
refuse to allow arrays with both a bitmap and a journal.
So:
 - if raid5_run sees both are present, fail.
 - if adding a bitmap finds a journal is present, fail
 - if adding a journal finds a bitmap is present, fail.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

<title>raid5: Set R5_Expanded on parity devices as well as data.</title>

<id>235b6003fb28f0dd8e7ed8fbdb088bb548291766</id>
<content type='text'>
When reshaping a fully degraded raid5/raid6 to a larger
nubmer of devices, the new device(s) are not in-sync
and so that can make the newly grown stripe appear to be
"failed".
To avoid this, we set the R5_Expanded flag to say "Even though
this device is not fully in-sync, this block is safe so
don't treat the device as failed for this stripe".
This flag is set for data devices, not not for parity devices.

Consequently, if you have a RAID6 with two devices that are partly
recovered and a spare, and start a reshape to include the spare,
then when the reshape gets past the point where the recovery was
up to, it will think the stripes are failed and will get into
an infinite loop, failing to make progress.

So when contructing parity on an EXPAND_READY stripe,
set R5_Expanded.

When reshaping a fully degraded raid5/raid6 to a larger
nubmer of devices, the new device(s) are not in-sync
and so that can make the newly grown stripe appear to be
"failed".
To avoid this, we set the R5_Expanded flag to say "Even though
this device is not fully in-sync, this block is safe so
don't treat the device as failed for this stripe".
This flag is set for data devices, not not for parity devices.

Motivated by the desire to illiminate the imprecise nature of
DM-specific patches being unnecessarily sent to both the MD maintainer
and mailing-list.  Which is born out of the fact that DM files also
reside in drivers/md/

Now all MD-specific files in drivers/md/ start with either "raid" or
"md-" and the MAINTAINERS file has been updated accordingly.

Shaohua: don't change module name
