md: Remove recent change which allows devices to skip recovery.

2013-07-18T04:18:03+00:00

commit 7ceb17e87bde79d285a8b988cfed9eaeebe60b86 md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array. allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery. This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a subsequent release. More specifically: If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions is a bitmap is present). If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there was no write. Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

MD: Remember the last sync operation that was performed

2013-06-26T02:38:24+00:00

MD: Remember the last sync operation that was performed This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last sync operation that was performed. This is especially useful when it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs. If the last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of descrepancies found by the user-initiated check. If it was a "repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of descrepancies repaired. etc. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: replace strict_strto() with kstrto()

2013-06-13T22:10:26+00:00

The usage of strict_strtoul() is not preferred, because strict_strtoul() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtoul() should be used. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: Wait for md_check_recovery before attempting device removal.

2013-06-13T22:10:26+00:00

When a device has failed, it needs to be removed from the personality module before it can be removed from the array as a whole. The first step is performed by md_check_recovery() which is called from the raid management thread. So when a HOT_REMOVE ioctl arrives, wait briefly for md_check_recovery to have run. This increases the chance that the ioctl will succeed. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

md: md_stop_writes() should always freeze recovery.

2013-06-13T03:18:15+00:00

__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery. So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are. However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which could be awkward. This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid. So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery. This is safe and more predicatable. Reported-by: Brassow Jonathan Tested-by: Brassow Jonathan Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

block_device_operations->release() should return void

2013-05-07T06:16:21+00:00

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful. Just don't bother. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

md: bad block list should default to disabled.

2013-04-30T04:49:32+00:00

Maintenance of a bad-block-list currently defaults to 'enabled' and is then disabled when it cannot be supported. This is backwards and causes problem for dm-raid which didn't know to disable it. So fix the defaults, and only enabled for v1.x metadata which explicitly has bad blocks enabled. The problem with dm-raid has been present since badblock support was added in v3.1, so this patch is suitable for any -stable from 3.1 onwards.
