<id>e4d84909dd48b5e5806a5d18b881e1ca1610ba9b</id>
<content type='text'>
1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
state necessary to return read completions is available.  However the
process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev-&gt;toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.

2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev-&gt;toread.  The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev-&gt;read.  R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.

Without this, we get qla2xxx complaining about "ISP System Error".

What's happening here is the firmware is detecting a Xfer-ready from the
storage when in fact the data-direction for a mode-select should be a
write (DATA_OUT).

The following patch fixes the problem (typo). Verified by Brian, as
well.

When a raid1 array is reshaped (number of drives changed), the list of devices
is compacted, so that slots for missing devices are filled with working
devices from later slots.  This requires the "rd%d" symlinks in sysfs to be
updated.

Commit 1757128438d41670ded8bc3bc735325cc07dc8f9 was slightly bad.  If an array
has a write-intent bitmap, and you remove a drive, then readd it, only the
changed parts should be resynced.  However after the above commit, this only
works if the array has not been shut down and restarted.

This is because it sets 'fullsync' at little more often than it should.  This
patch is more careful.
