The operations flags are all clear which means handle_stripe() thinks nothing else needs to be done. This state suggests that the STRIPE_OP_PREXOR bit was sampled 'set' when it should not have been. This patch cleans up cases where the code looks at sh->ops.pending when it should be looking at the consistent stack-based snapshot of the operations flags. Report from Joel: Resync done.

commit 4ae3f847e49e3787eca91bced31f8fd328d50496 ("md: raid5: fix clearing of biofill operations") did not get applied correctly, presumably due to substantial similarities between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6.

Device mapper uses its own bounce_pfn that may differ from one on underlying device. In that way dm can build incorrect requests that contain sg elements greater than underlying device is able to handle.

2007-10-20dm mpath: hp retry if not readyDave Wysochanski
This patch adds retries to the hp hardware handler, and utilizes the MP_RETRY flag of dm-multipath. For now in the hp handler, if we get a pg_init completed with a check condition we just assume we can retry the pg_init command. We make this assumption because of incomplete data on specific check condition code of the HP hardware, and because testing has shown the HP path initialization command to be idempotent. The number of times we retry is settable via the "pg_init_retries" multipath map feature.

2007-10-20dm mpath: add retry pg initDave Wysochanski
This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried. It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries. 1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and the command completes with an error code indicating the command should be retried. 2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry. 3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried. Otherwise fail_path() is called. If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your /etc/multipath.conf file. For example: features "2 pg_init_retries 7" The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.

2007-10-20dm: fix thaw_bdevJun'ichi Nomura
This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper. thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the device. Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter. struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache and be reused later. Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead. unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev() by checking the device is frozen or not. Easy reproducer is: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do dmsetup --notable create a dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a dmsetup remove a done It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore. So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode(): if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1) printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n", atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count), &ei->bdev); Without the patch, I saw something like: Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0) With the patch, the message didn't appear. The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix: commit d9dde59ba03095e526640988c0fedd75e93bc8b7 Date: Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800 [PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem. and backported to 2.6.15.5. It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without noflush.

2007-10-20dm io:ctl use constant struct sizeMilan Broz
Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported architectures. This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the structure. On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes. Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64 some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example. (BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now, but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)

When an array is started read-only, MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED can be set but no recovery will be running. This causes 'sync_action' to report the wrong value. We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a small gap after requesting a sync action, where 'sync_action' would still report the old value.

2007-10-17md: software Raid autodetect dev list not arrayMichael J. Evans
In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for autostart. I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would come up whole, while all the others were short a disk. I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds (2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I wanted 64 per drive...). The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere. This patch replaces that static array with a list. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: removed unused var] Signed-off-by: Michael J.
