offset_store and rdev_size_store allow control of the region of a device which is to be using in an md/raid array. They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled, as changing them on an active array could be dangerous. However when adding a spare device to an array, we might need to set the offset and size before starting recovery. So allow these values to be set also if "->raid_disk < 0" which indicates that the device is still a spare. Signed-off-by: NNeil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

Arrays personalities such as 'raid0' and 'linear' have no redundancy, and so marking them as 'clean' or 'dirty' is not meaningful. So always allow write requests without requiring a superblock update. Such arrays types are detected by ->sync_request being NULL. If it is not possible to send a sync request we don't need a 'dirty' flag because all a dirty flag does is trigger some sync_requests. Signed-off-by: NNeil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

There is a possible race in md_probe. If two threads call md_probe for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that ->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add, thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when we try to add children to it. So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to avoid this possibility. Signed-off-by: NNeil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

This makes it possible to just resync a small part of an array. e.g. if a drive reports that it has questionable sectors, a 'repair' of just the region covering those sectors will cause them to be read and, if there is an error, re-written with correct data.

md_probe can fail (e.g. alloc_disk could fail) without returning an error (as it alway returns NULL). So when we call mddev_find immediately afterwards, we need to check that md_probe actually succeeded. This means checking that mdev->gendisk is non-NULL. cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NNeil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed (Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit. So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

This additional notification to 'array_state' is needed to allow the monitor application to learn about stop events via sysfs. The sysfs_notify("sync_action") call that comes at the end of do_md_stop() (via md_new_event) is insufficient since the 'sync_action' attribute has been removed by this point. (Seems like a sysfs-notify-on-removal patch is a better fix.

When an array enters write pending, 'array_state' changes, so we must be sure to sysfs_notify. Also, when waiting for user-space to acknowledge 'write-pending' by marking the metadata as dirty, we don't want to wait for MD_CHANGE_DEVS to be cleared as that might not happen.

When setting an array to 'readonly' or to 'active' via sysfs, we must make the appropriate set_disk_ro call too. Also when switching to "read_auto" (which is like readonly, but blocks on the first write so that metadata can be marked 'dirty') we need to be more careful about what state we are changing from.

'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array being found dirty on reboot. ->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set. This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata: - When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared. - when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode. - Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode transitions - it won't work. Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if this is really needed).

Exposing the binary blob which is the md 'super-block' via sysfs doesn't really fit with the whole sysfs model, and ever since commit 8118a859 ("sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer()") it doesn't actually work at all (as the size of the blob is often one page).

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.

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 a stack trace which code is to blame.

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.
