The write causes an exception\n  that reallocates the block.  The write proceeds.\n* The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data.\n\nThis race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and\nmultiple threads reading simultaneously.\n\n(This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a\ndeadlock.)\n\nSigned-off-by: Mikulas Patocka \u003cmpatocka@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon \u003cagk@redhat.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "md: Protect access to mddev-\u003edisks list using RCU\n\nAll modifications and most access to the mddev-\u003edisks list are made\nunder the reconfig_mutex lock.  However there are three places where\nthe list is walked without any locking.  If a reconfig happens at this\ntime, havoc (and oops) can ensue.\n\nSo use RCU to protect these accesses:\n  - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()\n  - use list_for_each_entry_rcu\n  - add to the list with list_add_rcu\n  - delete from the list with list_del_rcu\n  - delay the \u0027free\u0027 with call_rcu rather than schedule_work\n\nNote that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list.  In almost all\ncases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so\nsafe.  It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch\nthe list_head.\nAn audit shows that export_rdev is called:\n  - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has\n     already been done,\n  - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn\u0027t needed.\n  - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in\n      add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).\n  - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a\n      different list.\n\nSo remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back\nimmediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.\n\nNote also that -\u003esame_set is sometimes used for lists other than\nmddev-\u003elist (e.g. candidates).  In these cases rcu is not needed.\n\nSigned-off-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n"

It replaces the old\n1K-based \"size\" argument of update_size() by \"num_sectors\" and\nfixes up its two callers.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andre Noll \u003cmaan@systemlinux.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n"

      "message": "Improve setting of \"events_cleared\" for write-intent bitmaps.\n\nWhen an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not\ncleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced\nby only updated those parts of the device that have changed since\nit was removed.\n\nThe enable this a \u0027events_cleared\u0027 value is stored. It is the event\ncounter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.\n\nSometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is \u0027clean\u0027 -\nthe events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle\nordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the\nbitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require\na full resync when it is re-added.\n\nWith this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about\nto clear a bit in the bitmap.  We record events_cleared when we clear\nthe bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written\nout before the bit on storage.  This makes it more \"obviously correct\".\n\nWe also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going\nbackwards (as happens on a dirty-\u003eclean transition of a non-degraded\narray).\n\nThanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early\n\"fixes\".\n\nCc:  \"Mike Snitzer\" \u003csnitzer@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n"

      "message": "md: fix prexor vs sync_request race\n\nDuring the initial array synchronization process there is a window between\nwhen a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it\ncompletes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe.  When\nthis happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked\n\"insync\", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe.  Prior to\n2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under\nsh-\u003elock.  The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still\nerroneously mark the stripe \"insync\", but sync_request would be held off\nand re-mark the stripe as \"!in_sync\".\n\nChange the write completion logic to not mark the stripe \"in_sync\" if a\nprexor was performed.  The effect of the change is to sometimes not set\nSTRIPE_INSYNC.  The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting\nfor STRIPE_INSYNC to be set.  If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING\nwould be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all\navailable blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never\nbe used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.\n\necho repair \u003e /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may\nhave lost this race.\n\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dan Williams \u003cdan.j.williams@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

Old behaviors remain and\nuserspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware\nhandler are ignored.\n\nOne behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this\npatch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in\npatch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)\n\nNote: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module\n(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference\nis held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure\nthat support for the specified device is present at table load time.\n\nSigned-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman \u003csekharan@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mike Christie \u003cmichaelc@cs.wisc.edu\u003e\nAcked-by: Alasdair G Kergon \u003cagk@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Bottomley \u003cJames.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.\n\nWhen we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort\nthe recovery and restart it.\n\nFor RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the\nbeginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be\nable to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn\u0027t make\nsense.\n\nWe already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to\nand restart from there, but it is not being used properly.\nThis is because:\n  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,\n    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.\n  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state\n    information.\n\nThe distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn\u0027t\nneeded.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as\nFaulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we\nfirst remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to\nMD_RECOVERY_INTR.\n\nThen we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to\nfail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then\nwhen remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which\nrecovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and\nrecovery will continue on them as desired.\n\nIssue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive\nfails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:\n 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or\n 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in\n    parallel.\n\nBoth options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as\n  a/ this requires least code change\n  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.\n\nCc: \"Eivind Sarto\" \u003civan@kasenna.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"
