commit ec8013beddd717d1740cfefb1a9b900deef85462 upstream.

A logical volume can map to just part of underlying physical volume.
In this case, it must be treated like a partition.

Based on a patch from Alasdair G Kergon.

commit 01393f3d5836b7d62e925e6f4658a7eb22b83a11 upstream.

Check pers-&gt;hot_remove_disk instead of pers-&gt;hot_add_disk in slot_store()
during disk removal. The linear personality only has -&gt;hot_add_disk and
no -&gt;hot_remove_disk, so that removing disk in the array resulted to
following kernel bug:

commit 8f5f02c460b7ca74ce55ce126ce0c1e58a3f923d upstream.

'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.

this causes  md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.

However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.

So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

This patch addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28652

commit 5528d17de1cf1462f285c40ccaf8e0d0e4c64dc0 upstream.

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected
and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even
though they weren't actually written to any device.  This patch
completes them with EIO instead.

This code path is taken:
do_writes:
	bio_list_merge(&amp;ms-&gt;failures, &amp;sync);
do_failures:
	if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
	else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
	else bio_endio(bio, 0);

The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.

commit bf572541ab44240163eaa2d486b06f306a31d45a upstream.

Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
should be.

In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
didn't.

This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
succeeds.

This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was
applied.

commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream.

With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete.  So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.

However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered.  If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.

When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.

So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.

However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered.  If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.

When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.

So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

commit 51e9ac77035a3dfcb6fc0a88a0d80b6f99b5edb1 upstream.

If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while
resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock.
Fix this be elevating -&gt;nr_waiting for the duration of both
parts of the split request.

This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22
but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons.
It is suitable for and -stable since then.

commit e2218350465e7e0931676b4849b594c978437bce upstream.

When the user sets the block device to readwrite then the mddev should
follow suit.  Otherwise, the BUG_ON in md_write_start() will be set to
trigger.

The reverse direction, setting mddev-&gt;ro to match a set readonly
request, can be ignored because the blkdev level readonly flag precludes
the need to have mddev-&gt;ro set correctly.  Nevermind the fact that
setting mddev-&gt;ro to 1 may fail if the array is in use.

<title>md: Fix read balancing in RAID1 and RAID10 on drives &gt; 2TB</title>

commit af3a2cd6b8a479345786e7fe5e199ad2f6240e56 upstream.

read_balance uses a "unsigned long" for a sector number which
will get truncated beyond 2TB.
This will cause read-balancing to be non-optimal, and can cause
data to be read from the 'wrong' branch during a resync.  This has a
very small chance of returning wrong data.

commit 964147d5c86d63be79b442c30f3783d49860c078 upstream.

There is a very small race window when writing to a
RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong
time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device,
but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that
the write was sent.

Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption.  This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).

Suitable for any pending -stable kernel.
