2008-03-07gigaset: fix Oops on module unload regressionTilman Schmidt
The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected, but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device. Fix this by initializing the mutex as soon as the structure is allocated. Also add a missing mutex unlock revealed in the same execution path. This fixes a possible Oops in 2.6.25-rc that was introduced by commit e468c04894f36045cf93d1384183a461014b6840 ("Gigaset: permit module unload"). Thanks to Roland Kletzing for reporting this problem.

2008-03-04md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlockK.Tanaka
This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the 2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework. Abstract: When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the resync threads of md RAID10 could stall. This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will fail because of resource busy. The deadlock mechanism: The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in end_sync_write(). If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining" should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter mismatch. For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case: Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_] [>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled. An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock. md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__] [=>...................] recovery = 5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec 2739 ?

2008-03-04md: fix possible raid1/raid10 deadlock on read error during resyncNeilBrown
Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing. If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem.

2008-03-04md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layoutsKeld Simonsen
This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the disk with the lowest block address. Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting of the first band of stripes. Some advantages: The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the inner blocks. Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the first part of the disks. Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk. If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

2008-03-04md: lock access to rdev attributes properlyNeilBrown
When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become NULL while we are accessing it. So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show. rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the function.

2008-03-04md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-writeNeilBrown
A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is marked read-only. So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to wake up thread resync thread. There is one place we didn't do this. The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5 array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started. The array will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until the first write). So the reshape will not proceed. On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

2008-03-04md: clean up irregularity with raid autodetectNeilBrown
When a raid1 array is stopped, all components currently get added to the list for auto-detection. However we should really only add components that were found by autodetection in the first place. So add a flag to record that information, and use it.

2008-03-04md: reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmapNeilBrown
On an md array with a write-intent bitmap, a thread wakes up every few seconds and scans the bitmap looking for work to do. If the array is idle, there will be no work to do, but a lot of scanning is done to discover this. So cache the fact that the bitmap is completely clean, and avoid scanning the whole bitmap when the cache is known to be clean.

2008-03-04md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read errorNeilBrown
When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while attempting to over-write with correct data. This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze). However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to finish that themselves need attention from raid1d. So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

In commit e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337 ("wmi: (!x & y) strikes again"), a bug was fixed that involved converting !x & y to !(x & y). The code below shows the same pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way. This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only something to consider.
