      md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files. · 6791875e
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Rather than using mddev_lock() to take the reconfig_mutex
      when writing to any md sysfs file, we only take mddev_lock()
      in the particular _store() functions that require it.
      Admittedly this is most, but it isn't all.
      
      This also allows us to remove special-case handling for new_dev_store
      (in md_attr_store).

      NeilBrown 提交于
      There are interdependencies between these two sysfs attributes
      and whether a resync is currently running.
      
      Rather than depending on reconfig_mutex to ensure no races when
      testing these interdependencies are met, use the spinlock.
      This will allow the mutex to be remove from protecting this
      code in a subsequent patch.

      NeilBrown 提交于
      There isn't really much room for races with ->safemode_delay.
      But as I am trying to clean up any racy code and will soon
      be removing reconfig_mutex protection from most _store()
      functions:
       - only set mddev->safemode_delay once, to ensure no code
         can see an intermediate value
       - use safemode_timer to call md_safemode_timeout() rather than
         calling it directly, to ensure it never races with itself.

      It makes more sense to report bitmap_info->file, rather than

      With that change, use mddev->lock to protect bitmap_info being

      No rdev attributes need locking for 'show', though
      state_show() might benefit from ensuring it sees a

      None even use rdev->mddev, so testing for it isn't really

      The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races

      md: protect ->pers changes with mddev->lock · 36d091f4
      NeilBrown 提交于
      ->pers is already protected by ->reconfig_mutex, and
      cannot possibly change when there are threads running or
      outstanding IO.
      
      However there are some places where we access ->pers
      not in a thread or IO context, and where ->reconfig_mutex
      is unnecessarily heavy-weight:  level_show and md_seq_show().
      
      So protect all changes, and those accesses, with ->lock.
      This is a step toward taking those accesses out from under
      reconfig_mutex.

      md: rename ->stop to ->free · afa0f557
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
      rename is accordingly.
      
      Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using
      mddev->private.  This flexibility will be useful in level_store().
      
      Finally, don't clear ->private.  It doesn't make sense to clear
      it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
      to clear ->private (it was some time ago before  ->to_remove was
      introduced).
      
      Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a
      big problem at the moment.

      md: split detach operation out from ->stop. · 5aa61f42
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
      things:
       1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
          is accessing the ->private data
       2/ it frees the ->private data.
      
      All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
      performed in common code.
      
      This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
      manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
      step 1 early, and step 2 later.
      
      So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

      There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
      it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
      change could go wrong.
      
      So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use

      If not, we know it is safe to call the function.

      md: make ->congested robust against personality changes. · 5c675f83
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
      bdi function.  If called at an awkward time while an array is
      being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
      is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
      
      So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
      structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
      'mddev_congested'.
      
      When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
      so no IO is processed.
      If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
      array is congested, which is a safe guess.
      As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
      avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
      region.
      This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
      can be run under rcu_lock.  Fortunately this is the case.

      NeilBrown 提交于
      This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
      superblocks, and it will soon be extended further.  So the
      name is inappropriate.
      
      Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
      never taking from interrupt or bh context.
      
      So:
        -rename write_lock to lock
        -document what it protects
        -remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
           is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq).  This can be
           cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

      md: Check MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING as well as ->sync_thread. · f851b60d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      A recent change to md started the ->sync_thread from a asynchronously
      from a work_queue rather than synchronously.  This means that there
      can be a small window between the time when MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
      and when ->sync_thread is set.
      
      So code that checks ->sync_thread might now conclude that the thread
      has not been started and (because a lock is held) will not be started.
      That is no longer the case.
      
      Most of those places are best fixed by testing MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
      as well.  To make this completely reliable, we wake_up(&resync_wait)
      after clearing that flag as well as after clearing ->sync_thread.
      
      Other places are better served by flushing the relevant workqueue
      to ensure that that if the sync thread was starting, it has now
      started.  This is particularly best if we are about to stop the
      sync thread.

      md: Always set RECOVERY_NEEDED when clearing RECOVERY_FROZEN · 45eaf45d

      md_check_recovery will skip any recovery and also clear
      MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set.
      So when we clear _FROZEN, we must set _NEEDED and ensure that

      In particular, this can make it impossible to remove a
      failed device from an array is the  'recovery-needed' processing
      didn't happen.
