md: fix calculation of stacking limits on level change.

2013-12-04T18:50:33+00:00

commit 02e5f5c0a0f726e66e3d8506ea1691e344277969 upstream. The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue' has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in md_alloc(). However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine for the new level is called for an array which has already had the stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final settings. So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store(). A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a RAID0. This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

md: bad block list should default to disabled.

2013-05-08T02:51:56+00:00

commit 486adf72ccc0c235754923d47a2270c5dcb0c98b upstream. 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.

md: fix two bugs when attempting to resize RAID0 array.

2013-03-14T18:29:49+00:00

commit a64685399181780998281fe07309a94b25dd24c3 upstream. You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you. So: disable setting of the available size on each device for RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so can change the effective layout of data. Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate, but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be safe. Without this change: mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max then read to the end of the array can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array. These bugs have been present ever since it became possible to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is suitable for any -stable kerenl.

md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array

2013-03-14T18:29:48+00:00

commit bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 upstream. If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count. Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore. By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush request but we return -EROFS for other writes. We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors. This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

md: Avoid write invalid address if read_seqretry returned true.

2012-12-03T19:47:06+00:00

commit 35f9ac2dcec8f79d7059ce174fd7b7ee3290d620 upstream. If read_seqretry returned true and bbp was changed, it will write invalid address which can cause some serious problem. This bug was introduced by commit v3.0-rc7-130-g2699b67. So fix is suitable for 3.0.y thru 3.6.y.

md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.

2012-10-02T17:29:55+00:00

commit 6dafab6b1383e912cd252fa809570b484eb6e0dc upstream. It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to the integrity of an array. Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient. However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement' flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed. So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations). This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as introduced.

md: Don't truncate size at 4TB for RAID0 and Linear

2012-10-02T17:29:55+00:00

commit 667a5313ecd7308d79629c0738b0db588b0b0a4e upstream. commit 27a7b260f71439c40546b43588448faac01adb93 md: Fix handling for devices from 2TB to 4TB in 0.90 metadata. changed 0.90 metadata handling to truncated size to 4TB as that is all that 0.90 can record. However for RAID0 and Linear, 0.90 doesn't need to record the size, so this truncation is not needed and causes working arrays to become too small. So avoid the truncation for RAID0 and Linear This bug was introduced in 3.1 and is suitable for any stable kernels from then onwards. As the offending commit was tagged for 'stable', any stable kernel that it was applied to should also get this patch. That includes at least 2.6.32, 2.6.33 and 3.0.

md: avoid crash when stopping md array races with closing other open fds.

2012-07-29T15:04:17+00:00

commit a05b7ea03d72f36edb0cec05e8893803335c61a0 upstream. md will refuse to stop an array if any other fd (or mounted fs) is using it. When any fs is unmounted of when the last open fd is closed all pending IO will be flushed (e.g. sync_blockdev call in __blkdev_put) so there will be no pending IO to worry about when the array is stopped. However in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to stop the array one must first get and open fd on the block device. If some fd is being used to write to the block device and it is closed after mdadm open the block device, but before mdadm issues the STOP_ARRAY ioctl, then there will be no last-close on the md device so __blkdev_put will not call sync_blockdev. If this happens, then IO can still be in-flight while md tears down the array and bad things can happen (use-after-free and subsequent havoc). So in the case where do_md_stop is being called from an open file descriptor, call sync_block after taking the mutex to ensure there will be no new openers. This is needed when setting a read-write device to read-only too. Reported-by: majianpeng Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

md: using GFP_NOIO to allocate bio for flush request

2012-06-01T07:18:19+00:00

commit b5e1b8cee7ad58a15d2fa79bcd7946acb592602d upstream. A flush request is usually issued in transaction commit code path, so using GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory for flush request bio falls into the classic deadlock issue. This is suitable for any -stable kernel to which it applies as it avoids a possible deadlock. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
