md: don't return 0 from array_state_store

2015-06-23T00:03:35Z

commit c008f1d356277a5b7561040596a073d87e56b0c8 upstream. Returning zero from a 'store' function is bad. The return value should be either len length of the string or an error. So use 'len' if 'err' is zero. Fixes: 6791875e2e53 ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.") Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

md: Close race when setting 'action' to 'idle'.

2015-06-23T00:03:35Z

commit 8e8e2518fceca407bb8fc2a6710d19d2e217892e upstream. Checking ->sync_thread without holding the mddev_lock() isn't really safe, even after flushing the workqueue which ensures md_start_sync() has been run. While this code is waiting for the lock, md_check_recovery could reap the thread itself, and then start another thread (e.g. recovery might finish, then reshape starts). When this thread gets the lock md_start_sync() hasn't run so it doesn't get reaped, but MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING gets cleared. This allows two threads to start which leads to confusion. So don't both if MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING isn't set, but if it is do the flush and the test and the reap all under the mddev_lock to avoid any race with md_check_recovery.

md: fix race when unfreezing sync_action

2015-06-06T15:21:09Z

commit 56ccc1125bc141cf63927eda7febff4216dea2d3 upstream. A recent change removed the need for locking around writing to "sync_action" (and various other places), but introduced a subtle race. When e.g. setting 'reshape' on a 'frozen' array, the 'frozen' flag is cleared before 'reshape' is set, so the md thread can get in and start trying recovery - which isn't wanted. So instead of clearing MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN for any command except 'frozen', only clear it when each specific command is parsed. This allows the handling of 'reshape' to clear the bit while a lock is held. Also remove some places where we set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, as it is always set on non-error exit of the function.

block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.

2015-05-17T16:55:07Z

commit 6cd18e711dd8075da9d78cfc1239f912ff28968a upstream. Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and registered immediately after the blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors); call in del_gendisk(). Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'. Since: commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37 Author: Christoph Hellwig fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info moved the device_unregister(bdi->dev); call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk(). The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs and complains > [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70() > [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127' We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md device driver calls it. Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by opening the device node, we make the same change there.

md: fix md io stats accounting broken

2015-05-06T20:03:36Z

commit 74672d069b298b03e9f657fd70915e055739882e upstream. Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue: " I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5.

So we re-use the open code here to fix it. Reported-by: Simon Kirby Signed-off-by: Gu Zheng Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

md: fix problems with freeing private data after ->run failure.

2015-03-20T22:40:36Z

If ->run() fails, it can either free the data structures it allocated, or leave that task to ->free() which will be called on failures. However: md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which causes problems in some personalities. raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data, which will become a problem when we fix md.c So better fix both these issues at once.

md: mark some attributes as pre-alloc

2015-02-25T00:38:46Z

Since __ATTR_PREALLOC was introduced in v3.19-rc1~78^2~18 it can now be used by md. This ensure that writing to these sysfs attributes will never block due to a memory allocation. Such blocking could become a deadlock if mdmon is trying to reconfigure an array after a failure prior to re-enabling writes. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.

2015-02-05T22:32:56Z

Rather than using mddev_lock() to take the reconfig_mutex when writing to any md sysfs file, we only take mddev_lock() in the particular _store() functions that require it. Admittedly this is most, but it isn't all. This also allows us to remove special-case handling for new_dev_store (in md_attr_store). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: move mddev_lock and related to md.h

2015-02-05T22:32:56Z

The one which is not inline (mddev_unlock) gets EXPORTed. This makes the locking available to personality modules so that it doesn't have to be imposed upon them. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: use mddev->lock to protect updates to resync_{min,max}.

2015-02-05T22:32:56Z

There are interdependencies between these two sysfs attributes and whether a resync is currently running. Rather than depending on reconfig_mutex to ensure no races when testing these interdependencies are met, use the spinlock. This will allow the mutex to be remove from protecting this code in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown
