      md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs. · ef286f6f
      由 NeilBrown 提交于 
      ======
This fix is related to
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
but does not address that exact issue.
======

sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
(i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.

As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.

This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.

Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.

In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock.  This call is
only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set.  However we can be sure
that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
was originally written.  This is because do_md_run is called in three
different contexts:
  1/ from md_ioctl.  This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
     fails if ->gendisk is not set.
  2/ from writing a sysfs attribute.  This can only happen if the
     mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
     after ->gendisk has been set.
  3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
     checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
->gendisk can also go.


In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
component rdevs) to complete.  However there really isn't any need to
wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
ways.

The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
while the lock is held.  There is already some infrastructure in place
to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
schedule_work).  So extend that infrastructure to remove the
raid5_attrs_group.

This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
"s_active" lock.  The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

      md: fix 'degraded' calculation when starting a reshape. · 9eb07c25
      由 NeilBrown 提交于 
      This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
reshape a degraded array.  Now it is so the current level of
degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account.  Also newly addded
devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
in-sync.

In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.

If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
"degraded".

This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.

      Fix race in tty_fasync() properly · 80e1e823
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This reverts commit 70362511 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and
commit b04da8bf ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/
restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete.

It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling
__f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt
disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential
ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering.

Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running
lockdep to show the problem.  It goes roughly like this:

 - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts
   disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can
   cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock.

 - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that
   commit 70362511 introduced, together with the pre-existing
   sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock
   dependency the other way too.

So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call,
we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the
lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown.  That still
guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all
we really ever needed.
