2006-12-06[BLOCK] dm-crypt: benbi IV, big endian narrow block count for LRW-32-AESRik Snel
LRW-32-AES needs a certain IV. This IV should be provided dm-crypt. The block cipher mode could, in principle generate the correct IV from the plain IV, but I think that it is cleaner to supply the right IV directly. The sector -> narrow block calculation uses a shift for performance reasons. This shift is computed in .ctr and stored in cc->iv_gen_private (as a void *).

2006-11-08[PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspendRafael J. Wysocki
If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this file for saving the swsusp's suspend image. Also, this file should be available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before the suspend image is created. For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

2006-11-08[PATCH] dm: fix find_device raceAlasdair G Kergon
There is a race between dev_create() and find_device(). If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took. The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch. It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev configurations can lead to this happening.

2006-10-20[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

2006-10-03[PATCH] md: remove MAX_MD_DEVS which is an arbitrary limitNeilBrown
Once upon a time we needed to fixed limit to the number of md devices, probably because we preallocated some array. This need no longer exists, but we still have an arbitrary limit. So remove MAX_MD_DEVS and allow as many devices as we can fit into the 'minor' part of a device number. Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

2006-10-03[PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specificNeilBrown
It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array is read and consistancies are reported. This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs that a resync is being started. This understandably confuses/worries people. Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a check. This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through bdi_*_congested, but should. This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested' status of all active members (with appropriate locking). raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where bdi_read_congested returns false. Then we could use the '&' branch rather than the '|' branch. However that should would need some benchmarking first to make sure it is actually a good idea.

2006-10-03[PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm: use private biosetsStefan Bader
I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem situations. It was found using a mirror target but I think in theory it would hit any setup that stacks device-mapper devices (like LVM on top of multipath). Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset in clone_bio(), and a private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec() it is possible that the filesystem and the first level target successfully get bios but the lower level target doesn't because there is no more memory and the pool was drained by upper layers. So the remapping will be stuck forever. To solve this device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set for each device.
