We need to\nensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the -\u003eopen must\nfail.\n\nSo:\n 1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which\n indicates that the array should be treated as active, even\n though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.\n This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it\n is no longer needed.\n This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and\n md_open.\n\n 2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches\n the gendisk that we did open.\n If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify\n __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.\n In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until\n the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so\n we loop at most once.\n\nSome udev configurations will always open an md device when it first\nappears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open\nto disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev\nconfigurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened\nand closed, then re-open due to the \u0027ADD\u0027 even from the first open,\nand then close and so on.\nSo we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active\nat least until some md \u0027ioctl\u0027 has been made on it. This means that\nall normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly\nwhen not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it\ncause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be\nremoved).\n\nAs an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute\n echo clear \u003e /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state\nwe need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other\nkobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to\ncomplete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().\n\n\n\nSigned-off-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "159ec1fc060ab22b157a62364045f5e98749c4d3", "tree": "1de0edfd782245b271d2898e36ae76c00e1e1b6d", "parents": [ "ccacc7d2cf03114a24ab903f710118e9e5d43273" ], "author": { "name": "Cheng Renquan", "email": "crquan@gmail.com", "time": "Fri Jan 09 08:31:08 2009 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Fri Jan 09 08:31:08 2009 +1100" }, "message": "md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly\n\nThe rdev_for_each macro defined in \u003clinux/raid/md_k.h\u003e is identical to\nlist_for_each_entry_safe, from \u003clinux/list.h\u003e, it should be defined to\nuse list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.\n\nBut some calls to each_entry_safe don\u0027t really need a safe version,\njust a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp\nvariable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.\n\nIn this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,\ntotally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call\nlist_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.\n\nSigned-off-by: Cheng Renquan \u003ccrquan@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "0c3573f19d135d718264e38c46597295bd6154b7", "tree": "0943035f89d163d9d7b354445303fb03e5ea7fb1", "parents": [ "538452700d95480c16e7aa6b10ff77cd937d33f4" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Fri Jan 09 08:31:05 2009 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Fri Jan 09 08:31:05 2009 +1100" }, "message": "md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/sync_action.\n\nThere is no compelling need for this, but sysfs_notify_dirent is a\nnicer interface and the change is good for consistency.\n\nSigned-off-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "3c0ee63a64a20351ed6c16ec797e1f8c850741ea", "tree": "482b825a00356a2b7b605065ce1d6ebe87591eb5", "parents": [ "b62b75905d571c29262a6c38cf9e5f089c203871" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Tue Oct 21 13:25:28 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Tue Oct 21 13:25:28 2008 +1100" }, "message": "md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/dev-xxx/state\n\nThe \u0027state\u0027 file for a device reports, for example, when the device\nhas failed.

This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from\nlevel to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2\npersonalities.\n\nWith this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an\nexhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be\nadded independently.\n\nThis patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the -\u003erun\nroutines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.\n This has a side effect of allowing \u0027faulty\u0027 and \u0027linear\u0027 not to have a\nchunk-size set.\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "6ff8d8ec06690f4011a6c3ad9e0759b9094f0601", "tree": "3606791ca1fb73e0263c4bb90d9c909d354bf9d4", "parents": [ "14f8d26b8ea3413b28f2cac208c9a93600fe3a80" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Fri Jan 06 00:20:15 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Jan 06 08:34:02 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] md: allow dirty raid[456] arrays to be started at boot\n\nSee patch to md.txt for more details\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "787453c2397edcc3261efebb661739acd8c38547", "tree": "41855815ebfb6332485ac1ca30b43308c66da0e0", "parents": [ "fd9d49cac46f5758d513ccf831b599dd4412546f" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Tue Nov 08 21:39:43 2005 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Nov 09 07:56:40 2005 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] md: complete conversion of md to use kthreads\n\nThere are a few loose ends following the conversion of md to use kthreads:\n\n- Some fields in mdk_thread_t that aren\u0027t needed (kthreads does it\u0027s own\n completion and manages it\u0027s own name).\n\n- thread-\u003erun is now never NULL, so no need to check\n\n- Some tests for signal_pending that aren\u0027t needed (As we don\u0027t use signals\n to stop threads any more)\n\n- Some flush_signals are not needed\n\n- Some waits are interruptible and don\u0027t need to be.\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "a9701a30470856408d08657eb1bd7ae29a146190", "tree": "eb6ea8c82fdc1b50bf56abadeee63a935034cf27", "parents": [ "bd926c63b7a6843d3ce2728396c0891e54fce5c4" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Tue Nov 08 21:39:34 2005 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Nov 09 07:56:38 2005 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] md: support BIO_RW_BARRIER for md/raid1\n\nWe can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle\nbarriers, and that can, of course, change with time....\n\nSo we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,\nand also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.\n\nWe initially assumes barriers are OK.\n\nWhen writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag\nthings for no-barriers.
