If an md array is "auto-read-only", then this appears in /proc/mdstat as

   /dev/md0: active(auto-read-only)

whereas if it is truely readonly, it appears as

   /dev/md0: active (read-only)

The difference being a space.

One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly
confused.  It will be fixed, but it would be best if what the kernel generates

When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes.  We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute.  We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.

So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.

rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions.  We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain.  So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the
function.

A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only.  So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread.  There is one place we didn't do this.

The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started.  The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write).  So the reshape will not proceed.

On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not
be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to kobject_del
an 'rdev' object from a different thread.

A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference.  Consequently, we need to explicitly hold
a reference to ensure that the last reference isn't dropped before the
scheduled work get a chance to call kobject_del.

Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more obvious in

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.

This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.

So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.

This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags.  So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given.  This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).

However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do.  So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.

This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.

So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.

Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
  externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
  left of user-space to handle.
  Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
  after the  array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
  internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
  These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.

- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
  there are any superblocks or not.

- New array state 'write_pending'.  This means that the metadata records
  the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
  to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
  This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
  attribute.

- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
   - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
     calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
   - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
   - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
     is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
     update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a

In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static
array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for
autostart.

I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are
discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would
come up whole, while all the others were short a disk.

I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds
(2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I
wanted 64 per drive...).  The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive
raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity
and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere.

This patch replaces that static array with a list.

bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void.  Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.

write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked.  It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.

When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.

bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
