In RAID1, a replacement is much like a normal device, so we just
double the size of the relevant arrays and look at all possible
devices for reads and writes.
This means that the array looks like it is now double the size in some

In particular, we checking if the array is still degraded while
creating a recovery request we need to only consider the first 'half'

When recovery completes - as reported by a call to ->spare_active,

Then when the original gets removed we move the replacement from
'replacement' to 'rdev'.
This could race with other code that is looking at these pointers,
so we use memory barriers and careful ordering to ensure that
a reader might see one device twice, but never no devices.
Then the readers guard against using both devices, which could

During recovery we want to write to the replacement but not

- R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to
be written at some stage
- R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and
a 'sync' has been requested on this stripe.
We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read
all other devices, and 'replace' which only needs to read the
devices being replaced.
Note that during resync we always write to any replacement device.
It might not need to be written to, but as we don't read to compare,

If a replacement device is present and has been recovered far enough,

If we get an error we don't try to repair it, we just fail the device.
A replacement device that gives errors does not sound sensible.
This requires removing the setting of R5_ReadError when we get

a bad idea anyway as we don't know that every block in the read
caused an error, and it could cause ReadError to be set for the

Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be

We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head. This will
only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the
original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios.
For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads.
In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far
enough, otherwise use the original.
This includes a small enhancement. Previously we would only do
aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered. Now we also
do them if it has recovered far enough.

hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.
With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original
device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.
This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.
This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.
It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
sysfs.
"want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
"replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
device.
The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
device, not the replacement. We currently don't make links for the
replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need.

We then call into the personality's hot_add_disk function
which performs the same test and returns the same error.
Thus the common test is not needed.
As we will shortly be changing some personalities to allow duplicates
in some cases (to support hot-replace), the common test will become
inconvenient.
So remove the common test.

For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.
The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit. So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.
So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.
In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
more.

When an array is being reshaped to change the number of devices,
the two halves can be differently degraded. e.g. one could be
missing a device and the other not.
So we need to be more careful about calculating the 'degraded'
attribute.
Instead of just inc/dec at appropriate times, perform a full
re-calculation examining both possible cases. This doesn't happen
often so it not a big cost, and we already have most of the code to

commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.
When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that
might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant.
Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added.
This is a false optimisation.
It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a
subsequent spare might be accepted.
Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.
If we abort early these might not happen properly.
So remove the early abort.
In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the
mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which
is refcounted by sysfs.
And we also take the mddev_lock.
However this is not enough.
The final mddev_put could have been called and the
mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy
the kobj and mddev.
In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted.
To to guard against this we:
- initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be
easily detected.
- in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under
all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to
be active.
This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we
will get -EBUSY.
rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have
sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to
mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed
removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this
ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed.
However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it
is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes.
In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very
similar to immediately after we have finished with it.
So we always preserve a newly created md device until something
significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'.
The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will
normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it
doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to
get rid of it.
We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we
currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if
it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed.
However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more
gradual so we should look for a more definitive change.
So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when
the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs
are ignored.

Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as

However there are two places where we might set or clear page
attributes without holding the spinlock.
So add the spinlock in those cases.
This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't
