md: pass down BIO_RW_SYNC in raid{1,10}

2007-03-26T21:41:58+00:00

md raidX make_request functions strip off the BIO_RW_SYNC flag, thus introducing additional latency. Fixing this in raid1 and raid10 seems to be straightforward enough. For our particular usage case in DRBD, passing this flag improved some initialization time from ~5 minutes to ~5 seconds. Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Acked-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

[PATCH] md: Avoid oops when attempting to fix read errors on raid10

2006-05-20T22:00:27+00:00

We should add to the counter for the rdev *after* checking if the rdev is NULL!!! Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] md: Assorted little md fixes

2006-02-03T16:32:00+00:00

- version-1 superblock + The default_bitmap_offset is in sectors, not bytes. + the 'size' field in the superblock is in sectors, not KB - raid0_run should return a negative number on error, not '1' - raid10_read_balance should not return a valid 'disk' number if ->rdev turned out to be NULL - kmem_cache_destroy doesn't like being passed a NULL.

[PATCH] md: define and use safe_put_page for md

2006-01-06T16:34:07+00:00

md sometimes call put_page on NULL pointers (treating it like kfree). This is not safe, so define and use a 'safe_put_page' which checks for NULL. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] md: fix possible problem in raid1/raid10 error overwriting

2006-01-06T16:34:06+00:00

The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10 currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make. So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md

2006-01-06T16:34:06+00:00

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
