md: flush writes before starting a recovery.

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit 133d4527eab8d199a62eee6bd433f0776842df2e upstream. When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a temporarily-missing device). If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare, commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet), then that write will not get to the new device. Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption. We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write request. This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

md: always set MD_RECOVERY_INTR when aborting a reshape or other "resync".

2014-06-11T19:04:11+00:00

commit 3991b31ea072b070081ca3bfa860a077eda67de5 upstream. If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort. However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set. If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be called and it will think the reshape was successful even though nothing happened. Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success, resulting in data corruption. Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

md: avoid possible spinning md thread at shutdown.

2014-06-07T23:02:01+00:00

commit 0f62fb220aa4ebabe8547d3a9ce4a16d3c045f21 upstream. If an md array with externally managed metadata (e.g. DDF or IMSM) is in use, then we should not set safemode==2 at shutdown because: 1/ this is ineffective: user-space need to be involved in any 'safemode' handling, 2/ The safemode management code doesn't cope with safemode==2 on external metadata and md_check_recover enters an infinite loop. Even at shutdown, an infinite-looping process can be problematic, so this could cause shutdown to hang. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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.

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.
