commit bca5b0658020be90b6b504ca514fd80110204f71 upstream.

md-cluster uses MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK to make node can exclusively send msg.
During sending msg, node can concurrently receive msg from another node.
When node does resync job, grab token_lockres:EX may trigger a deadlock:
```
nodeA                       nodeB
--------------------     --------------------
a.
send METADATA_UPDATED
held token_lockres:EX
                         b.
                         md_do_sync
                          resync_info_update
                            send RESYNCING
                             + set MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK
                             + wait for holding token_lockres:EX

                         c.
                         mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdg
                          + held reconfig_mutex
                          + send REMOVE
                             + wait_event(MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK)

                         d.
                         recv_daemon //METADATA_UPDATED from A
                          process_metadata_update
                           + (mddev_trylock(mddev) ||
                              MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD)
                             //this time, both return false forever
```
Explaination:
a. A send METADATA_UPDATED
   This will block another node to send msg

b. B does sync jobs, which will send RESYNCING at intervals.
   This will be block for holding token_lockres:EX lock.

c. B do "mdadm --remove", which will send REMOVE.
   This will be blocked by step &lt;b&gt;: MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK is 1.

d. B recv METADATA_UPDATED msg, which send from A in step &lt;a&gt;.
   This will be blocked by step &lt;c&gt;: holding mddev lock, it makes
   wait_event can't hold mddev lock. (btw,
   MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD keep ZERO in this scenario.)

There is a similar deadlock in commit 0ba959774e93
("md-cluster: use sync way to handle METADATA_UPDATED msg")
In that commit, step c is "update sb". This patch step c is
"mdadm --remove".

For fixing this issue, we can refer the solution of function:
metadata_update_start. Which does the same grab lock_token action.
lock_comm can use the same steps to avoid deadlock. By moving
MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD from lock_token to lock_comm.
It enlarge a little bit window of MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD,
but it is safe &amp; can break deadlock.

Repro steps (I only triggered 3 times with hundreds tests):

two nodes share 3 iSCSI luns: sdg/sdh/sdi. Each lun size is 1GB.
```
ssh root@node2 "mdadm -S --scan"
mdadm -S --scan
for i in {g,h,i};do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd$i oflag=direct bs=1M \
count=20; done

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -b clustered -e 1.2 -n 2 -l mirror /dev/sdg /dev/sdh \
 --bitmap-chunk=1M
ssh root@node2 "mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdg /dev/sdh"

sleep 5

mkfs.xfs /dev/md0
mdadm --manage --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdi
mdadm --wait /dev/md0
mdadm --grow --raid-devices=3 /dev/md0

mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdg
mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdg
mdadm --grow --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0
```

test script will hung when executing "mdadm --remove".

This is caused by a race between two concurrenct md_ioctl()s closing
the array.
CPU1 (md_ioctl())                   CPU2 (md_ioctl())
------                              ------

if(did_set_md_closing)
    clear_bit(MD_CLOSING, &amp;mddev-&gt;flags);

Fix the warning by returning immediately if the MD_CLOSING bit is set
in &amp;mddev-&gt;flags which indicates that the array is being closed.

Fixes: 065e519e71b2 ("md: MD_CLOSING needs to be cleared after called md_set_readonly or do_md_stop")

<title>md: add feature flag MD_FEATURE_RAID0_LAYOUT</title>

[ Upstream commit 33f2c35a54dfd75ad0e7e86918dcbe4de799a56c ]

Due to a bug introduced in Linux 3.14 we cannot determine the
correctly layout for a multi-zone RAID0 array - there are two
possibilities.

It is possible to tell the kernel which to chose using a module
parameter, but this can be clumsy to use.  It would be best if
the choice were recorded in the metadata.
So add a feature flag for this purpose.
If it is set, then the 'layout' field of the superblock is used
to determine which layout to use.

If this flag is not set, then mddev-&gt;layout gets set to -1,
which causes the module parameter to be required.

[ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ]

We need to check mddev-&gt;del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev-&gt;bd_mutex before flush workqueue.

the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.

[ Upstream commit 059421e041eb461fb2b3e81c9adaec18ef03ca3c ]

Commit 35bfc52187f6 ("md: allow metadata update while suspending.")
added support for allowing md_check_recovery() to still perform
metadata updates while the array is entering the 'suspended' state.
This is needed to allow the processes of entering the state to
complete.

Unfortunately, the patch doesn't really work.  The test for
"mddev-&gt;suspended" at the start of md_check_recovery() means that the
function doesn't try to do anything at all while entering suspend.

This patch moves the code of updating the metadata while suspending to
*before* the test on mddev-&gt;suspended.

commit 480523feae581ab714ba6610388a3b4619a2f695 upstream.

Since commit 4ad23a976413 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for
writes_pending"), set_in_sync() is substantially more expensive: it
can wait for a full RCU grace period which can be 10s of milliseconds.

So we should only call it when the cost is justified.

md_check_recovery() currently calls set_in_sync() every time it finds
anything to do (on non-external active arrays).  For an array
performing resync or recovery, this will be quite often.
Each call will introduce a delay to the md thread, which can noticeable
affect IO submission latency.

In md_check_recovery() we only need to call set_in_sync() if
'safemode' was non-zero at entry, meaning that there has been not
recent IO.  So we save this "safemode was nonzero" state, and only
call set_in_sync() if it was non-zero.

This measurably reduces mean and maximum IO submission latency during
resync/recovery.

<title>md: don't report active array_state until after revalidate_disk() completes.</title>

commit 9d4b45d6af442237560d0bb5502a012baa5234b7 upstream.

Until revalidate_disk() has completed, the size of a new md array will
appear to be zero.
So we shouldn't report, through array_state, that the array is active
until that time.
udev rules check array_state to see if the array is ready.  As soon as
it appear to be zero, fsck can be run.  If it find the size to be
zero, it will fail.

So add a new flag to provide an interlock between do_md_run() and
array_state_show().  This flag is set while do_md_run() is active and
it prevents array_state_show() from reporting that the array is
active.

Before do_md_run() is called, -&gt;pers will be NULL so array is
definitely not active.
After do_md_run() is called, revalidate_disk() will have run and the
array will be completely ready.

We also move various sysfs_notify*() calls out of md_run() into
do_md_run() after MD_NOT_READY is cleared.  This ensure the
information is ready before the notification is sent.

Prior to v4.12, array_state_show() was called with the
mddev-&gt;reconfig_mutex held, which provided exclusion with do_md_run().

Note that MD_NOT_READY cleared twice.  This is deliberate to cover
both success and error paths with minimal noise.

[ Upstream commit 062f5b2ae12a153644c765e7ba3b0f825427be1d ]

When a disk is added to array, the following path is called in mdadm.

Manage_subdevs -&gt; sysfs_freeze_array
               -&gt; Manage_add
               -&gt; sysfs_set_str(&amp;info, NULL, "sync_action","idle")

Then from kernel side, Manage_add invokes the path (add_new_disk -&gt;
validate_super = super_1_validate) to set In_sync flag.

Since In_sync means "device is in_sync with rest of array", and the new
added disk need to resync thread to help the synchronization of data.
And md_reap_sync_thread would call spare_active to set In_sync for the
new added disk finally. So don't set In_sync if array is in frozen.

[ Upstream commit 0d8ed0e9bf9643f27f4816dca61081784dedb38d ]

When add one disk to array, the md_reap_sync_thread is responsible
to activate the spare and set In_sync flag for the new member in
spare_active().

But if raid1 has one member disk A, and disk B is added to the array.
Then we offline A before all the datas are synchronized from A to B,
obviously B doesn't have the latest data as A, but B is still marked
with In_sync flag.

So let's not call spare_active under the condition, otherwise B is
still showed with 'U' state which is not correct.

[ Upstream commit 9642fa73d073527b0cbc337cc17a47d545d82cd2 ]

Stopping external metadata arrays during resync/recovery causes
retries, loop of interrupting and starting reconstruction, until it
hit at good moment to stop completely. While these retries
curr_mark_cnt can be small- especially on HDD drives, so subtraction
result can be smaller than 0. However it is casted to uint without
checking. As a result of it the status bar in /proc/mdstat while stopping
is strange (it jumps between 0% and 99%).

The real problem occurs here after commit 72deb455b5ec ("block: remove
CONFIG_LBDAF"). Sector_div() macro has been changed, now the
divisor is casted to uint32. For db = -8 the divisior(db/32-1) becomes 0.

Check if db value can be really counted and replace these macro by
div64_u64() inline.
