2025-11-11md: allow configuring logical block sizeLi Nan
Previously, raid array used the maximum logical block size (LBS) of all member disks. Adding a larger LBS disk at runtime could unexpectedly increase RAID's LBS, risking corruption of existing partitions. This can be reproduced by: ``` # LBS of sd[de] is 512 bytes, sdf is 4096 bytes. mdadm -CRq /dev/md0 -l1 -n3 /dev/sd[de] missing --assume-clean # LBS is 512 cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size # create partition md0p1 parted -s /dev/md0 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 1MiB 100% lsblk | grep md0p1 # LBS becomes 4096 after adding sdf mdadm --add -q /dev/md0 /dev/sdf cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size # partition lost partprobe /dev/md0 lsblk | grep md0p1 ``` Simply restricting larger-LBS disks is inflexible. In some scenarios, only disks with 512 bytes LBS are available currently, but later, disks with 4KB LBS may be added to the array. Making LBS configurable is the best way to solve this scenario. After this patch, the raid will: - store LBS in disk metadata - add a read-write sysfs 'mdX/logical_block_size' Future mdadm should support setting LBS via metadata field during RAID creation and the new sysfs. Though the kernel allows runtime LBS changes, users should avoid modifying it after creating partitions or filesystems to prevent compatibility issues. Only 1.x metadata supports configurable LBS. 0.90 metadata inits all fields to default values at auto-detect. Supporting 0.90 would require more extensive changes and no such use case has been observed. Note that many RAID paths rely on PAGE_SIZE alignment, including for metadata I/O. A larger LBS than PAGE_SIZE will result in metadata read/write failures. So this config should be prevented.

2025-11-08md/md-linear: Enable atomic writesJohn Garry
All the infrastructure has already been plumbed to support this for stacked devices, so just enable the request_queue limits features flag. A note about chunk sectors for linear arrays: While it is possible to set a chunk sectors param for building a linear array, this is for specifying the granularity at which data sectors from the device are used. It is not the same as a stripe size, like for RAID0. As such, it is not appropriate to set chunk_sectors request queue limit to the same value, as chunk_sectors request limit is a boundary for which requests cannot straddle. However, request_queue limit max_hw_sectors is set to chunk sectors, which almost has the same effect as setting chunk_sectors limit.

2025-09-17md: init queue_limits->max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors parameterZhang Yi
The parameter max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors in queue_limits should be equal to max_write_zeroes_sectors if it is set to a non-zero value. However, the stacked md drivers call md_init_stacking_limits() to initialize this parameter to UINT_MAX but only adjust max_write_zeroes_sectors when setting limits. Therefore, this discrepancy triggers a value check failure in blk_validate_limits(). $ modprobe scsi_debug num_parts=2 dev_size_mb=8 lbprz=1 lbpws=1 $ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-device=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Invalid argument Fix this failure by explicitly setting max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to max_write_zeroes_sectors. Since the linear and raid0 drivers support write zeroes, so they can support unmap write zeroes operation if all of the backend devices support it. However, the raid1/10/5 drivers don't support write zeroes, so we have to set it to zero.

2019-09-03md raid0/linear: Mark array as 'broken' and fail BIOs if a member is goneGuilherme G. Piccoli
Currently md raid0/linear are not provided with any mechanism to validate if an array member got removed or failed. The driver keeps sending BIOs regardless of the state of array members, and kernel shows state 'clean' in the 'array_state' sysfs attribute. This leads to the following situation: if a raid0/linear array member is removed and the array is mounted, some user writing to this array won't realize that errors are happening unless they check dmesg or perform one fsync per written file. Despite udev signaling the member device is gone, 'mdadm' cannot issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl successfully, given the array is mounted. In other words, no -EIO is returned and writes (except direct ones) appear normal. Meaning the user might think the wrote data is correctly stored in the array, but instead garbage was written given that raid0 does stripping (and so, it requires all its members to be working in order to not corrupt data). For md/linear, writes to the available members will work fine, but if the writes go to the missing member(s), it'll cause a file corruption situation, whereas the portion of the writes to the missing devices aren't written effectively. This patch changes this behavior: we check if the block device's gendisk is UP when submitting the BIO to the array member, and if it isn't, we flag the md device as MD_BROKEN and fail subsequent I/Os to that device; a read request to the array requiring data from a valid member is still completed. While flagging the device as MD_BROKEN, we also show a rate-limited warning in the kernel log. A new array state 'broken' was added too: it mimics the state 'clean' in every aspect, being useful only to distinguish if the array has some member missing. We rely on the MD_BROKEN flag to put the array in the 'broken' state. This state cannot be written in 'array_state' as it just shows one or more members of the array are missing but acts like 'clean', it wouldn't make sense to write it. With this patch, the filesystem reacts much faster to the event of missing array member: after some I/O errors, ext4 for instance aborts the journal and prevents corruption. Without this change, we're able to keep writing in the disk and after a machine reboot, e2fsck shows some severe fs errors that demand fixing. This patch was tested in ext4 and xfs filesystems, and requires a 'mdadm' counterpart to handle the 'broken' state.

2017-10-16md: rename some drivers/md/ files to have an "md-" prefixMike Snitzer
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.
