f9abd1ace4 [PATCH] md: Fix a bug that recently crept into md/linear
A recent patch that allowed linear arrays to be reconfigured on-line
allowed in a bug which results in divide by zero - not all
mddev->array_size were converted to conf->array_size.

This patch finished the conversion and fixed the bug.

The offending patch was commit 7c7546ccf6.

Thanks to Simon Kirby <sim@netnation.com> for the bug report.

67463acb64 [PATCH] md: require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for (re-)configuring md devices via sysfs
The ioctl requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so sysfs should too.  Note that we don't
require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for reading attributes even though the ioctl does.
There is no reason to limit the read access, and much of the information is
already available via /proc/mdstat

7c785b7a18 [PATCH] md: fix a plug/unplug race in raid5
When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on
whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue.

So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure
the raid5 array is 'plugged'.  However we don't.  We currently plug the raid5
queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race.  If
something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on
the queue and nothing will want to unplug them.  Normally something else will
plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will.

ff4e8d9a9f [PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncs
We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.

However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count.  This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.

So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

0b8c9de05c [PATCH] md: delay starting md threads until array is completely setup
When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a
reshape or recovery that needs to be completed).

We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in
particular before queue->queuedata is set.  If the thread actually starts
very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata
and oops.

This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if a reshape is
being restarted.

f4370781d8 [PATCH] md: possible fix for unplug problem
I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because the raid5
device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state.  This shouldn't be able to happen as
3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged.  However it happens
none-the-less.  This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do,
though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases.

Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this workaround in
place.

663d440eaa [PATCH] lockdep: annotate blkdev nesting
Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.

Effects on non-lockdep kernels:

- the introduction of the following function variants:

  extern struct block_device *open_partition_by_devnum(dev_t, unsigned);

  extern int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *);

  static int
  blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

 which on non-lockdep are the same as open_by_devnum(), blkdev_put()
 and blkdev_get().

- a subclass parameter to do_open(). [unused on non-lockdep]

- a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal
  function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused
  on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s]

these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express
object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.

 clear
     No devices, no size, no level
     Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
 inactive
     May have some settings, but array is not active
        all IO results in error
     When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
 suspended (not supported yet)
     All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
     Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
 readonly
     no resync can happen.  no superblocks get written.
     write requests fail
 read-auto
     like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request.

 clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
     When written to inactive array, starts without resync
     If a write request arrives then
       if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
       if not known, block and switch to write-pending
     If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
 active
     fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
     When written to inactive array, starts with resync

 write-pending (not supported yet)
     clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.

 active-idle
     like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

4254376914 [PATCH] md: Don't write dirty/clean update to spares - leave them alone
- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they
  might sometimes be slightly different now)
- add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super
  block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty
  transition.
- Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers
  for clean states
- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
  a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
  transition.  To accomodate this, a transition from
  dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
  if nothing else has changed.

The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

07d84d109d [PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.

It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps.  i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.

This patch allows that option.  This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g.  during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

d785a06a0b [PATCH] md/bitmap: change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks
If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page
cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of
operations to write the file out.  I don't believe this is a supportable
approach.

This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files.  i.e.
bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we
write directly to those blocks of the device.

swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous
addresses.  We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are
non-contiguous in storage.  To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and
store the addresses in those buffers.

With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with
what is on disk.  To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the
pagecache when releasing the file.  If the file is to be examined while the
array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io
must be used.  And new version of mdadm will have support for this.

This approach simplifies a lot of code:
 - we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for,
   as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding
   writes there are.  This saves a mempool.
 - -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if
    they ever were actually).

It also occasionally takes extra references without any good reason, and

in a memory leak.

ec7a3197f4 [PATCH] md/bitmap: cleaner separation of page attribute handlers in md/bitmap
md/bitmap has some attributes per-page.  Handling of these attributes in
largely abstracted in set_page_attr and clear_page_attr.  However
get_page_attr exposes the format used to store them.  So prior to changing
that format, introduce test_page_attr instead of get_page_attr, and make
appropriate usage changes.

0b79ccf0cd [PATCH] md/bitmap: remove bitmap writeback daemon
md/bitmap currently has a separate thread to wait for writes to the bitmap
file to complete (as we cannot get a callback on that action).

However this isn't needed as bitmap_unplug is called from process context and
waits for the writeback thread to do it's work.  The same result can be
achieved by doing the waiting directly in bitmap_unplug.

d7375ab324 [PATCH] md/bitmap: fix online removal of file-backed bitmaps
When "mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --bitmap=none" is used to remove a filebacked
bitmap, the bitmap was disconnected from the array, but the file wasn't closed
(until the array was stopped).

The file also wasn't closed if adding the bitmap file failed.

c93983bf51 [PATCH] md: support stripe/offset mode in raid10
The "industry standard" DDF format allows for a stripe/offset layout where
data is duplicated on different stripes.  e.g.

  A  B  C  D
  D  A  B  C
  E  F  G  H
  H  E  F  G

(columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data).

This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same.  So enhance
'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs
stripe/offset.

5fd6c1dce0 [PATCH] md: allow checkpoint of recovery with version-1 superblock
For a while we have had checkpointing of resync.  The version-1 superblock
allows recovery to be checkpointed as well, and this patch implements that.

Due to early carelessness we need to add a feature flag to signal that the
recovery_offset field is in use, otherwise older kernels would assume that a
partially recovered array is in fact fully recovered.

a8a55c387d [PATCH] md: remove nuisance message at shutdown
At shutdown, we switch all arrays to read-only, which creates a message for
every instantiated array, even those which aren't actually active.

So remove the message for non-active arrays.
