This fix is related to

but does not address that exact issue.

sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
(i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.
As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.
This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.
Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.
In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock. This call is
only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set. However we can be sure
that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
was originally written. This is because do_md_run is called in three
different contexts:
1/ from md_ioctl. This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
fails if ->gendisk is not set.
2/ from writing a sysfs attribute. This can only happen if the
mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
after ->gendisk has been set.
3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
->gendisk can also go.
In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
component rdevs) to complete. However there really isn't any need to
wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
ways.
The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
while the lock is held. There is already some infrastructure in place
to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
schedule_work). So extend that infrastructure to remove the
raid5_attrs_group.
This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
"s_active" lock. The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
reshape a degraded array. Now it is so the current level of
degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account. Also newly addded
devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
in-sync.
In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.
If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
"degraded".
This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.

If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the
same time. One will wait for the other to complete.
While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device
failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the
resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot
be remove while a resync is happening).
So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.
However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.
So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

evms configures md arrays by:
open device
send ioctl
close device
for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.
So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).
This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is
not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a
spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest
opportunity.
So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync
as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update
immediately after adding spares to a degraded array.
This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery
starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will
continue from wherever it was up to. Previously this didn't happen
unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through.

We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.
With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts. Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.
In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.
For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

There is a sysfs file which allows bits in the write-intent
bitmap to be explicit set - indicating that the block is thought
to be 'dirty'.
When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards
to include the block to reflect this dirtiness.
In particular, a 'resync' process will refuse to start if
recovery_cp is beyond the end of the array, so this is needed
to allow a resync to be triggered.

In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same
sector as the bitmap.
md will not read/write any bitmap metadata. Config must be

A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which

'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',

Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.
'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.

For md arrays were metadata is managed externally, the kernel does not
know about a superblock so the superblock offset is 0.
If we want to have a write-intent-bitmap near the end of the

We need offset be possibly negative for when the bitmap is before

The post-barrier-flush is sent by md as soon as make_request on the
barrier write completes. For raid5, the data might not be in the
per-device queues yet. So for barrier requests, wait for any
pre-reading to be done so that the request will be in the per-device
queues.
We use the 'preread_active' count to check that nothing is still in
the preread phase, and delay the decrement of this count until after
write requests have been submitted to the underlying devices.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1. This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.
When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device. When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty - we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.
The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.
The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail. If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail. That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.
RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet. So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.
Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted. Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.
That will be done in later patches.

A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap. If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.
So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.
This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.
