When operate harddisk and hit errors, md_set_badblocks is called after scsi_restart_operations which already disabled the irq. but md_set_badblocks will call write_sequnlock_irq and enable irq. so softirq can preempt the current thread and that may cause a deadlock. I think this situation should use write_sequnlock_irqsave/irqrestore instead. I met the situation and the call trace is below: [ 638.919974] BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, scsi_eh_13/1010 [ 638.921923] lock: 0xffff8800d4d51fc8, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: scsi_eh_13/1010, .owner_cpu: 0 [ 638.923890] CPU: 0 PID: 1010 Comm: scsi_eh_13 Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5+ #37 [ 638.925844] Hardware name: To be filled by O.E.M.

When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so that all buffers get flushed. So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will be nothing to flush. However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just moments before some other process which was writing closes their file descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might not get flushed. So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev(). However at this point it is holding ->reconfig_mutex. So if the array is currently 'clean' then the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread can get ->reconfig_mutex. So we deadlock. We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take ->reconfig_mutex. However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array. This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward. So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED. Set it before calling sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further opens. It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl. Just don't do that. Signed-off-by:

commit 7ceb17e8 md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array. allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery. This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a subsequent release. More specifically: If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions is a bitmap is present). If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there was no write. Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

MD: Remember the last sync operation that was performed This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last sync operation that was performed. This is especially useful when it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs. If the last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of descrepancies found by the user-initiated check. If it was a "repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of descrepancies repaired. etc. Signed-off-by:

When a device has failed, it needs to be removed from the personality module before it can be removed from the array as a whole. The first step is performed by md_check_recovery() which is called from the raid management thread. So when a HOT_REMOVE ioctl arrives, wait briefly for md_check_recovery to have run. This increases the chance that the ioctl will succeed. Signed-off-by:

__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery. So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are. However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which could be awkward. This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid. So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery. This is safe and more predicatable. Reported-by:

When assembling an array incrementally we might want to make it device available when "enough" devices are present, but maybe not "all" devices are present. If the remaining devices appear before the array is actually used, they should be added transparently. We do this by using the "read-auto" mode where the array acts like it is read-only until a write request arrives. Current an add-device request switches a read-auto array to active. This means that only one device can be added after the array is first made read-auto. This isn't a problem for RAID5, but is not ideal for RAID6 or RAID10. Also we don't really want to switch the array to read-auto at all when re-adding a device as this doesn't really imply any change. So: - remove the "md_update_sb()" call from add_new_disk(). This isn't really needed as just adding a disk doesn't require a metadata update. Instead, just set MD_CHANGE_DEVS. This will effect a metadata update soon enough, once the array is not read-only. - Allow the ADD_NEW_DISK ioctl to succeed without activating a read-auto array, providing the MD_DISK_SYNC flag is set. In this case, the device will be rejected if it cannot be added with the correct device number, or has an incorrect event count. - Teach remove_and_add_spares() to be careful about adding spares when the array is read-only (or read-mostly) - only add devices that are thought to be in-sync, and only do it if the array is in-sync itself. - In md_check_recovery, use remove_and_add_spares in the read-only case, rather than open coding just the 'remove' part of it.

If a fail device or a spare is removed from an array, there is not need to make the array 'active'. If/when the array does become active for some other reason the metadata will be update to reflect the removal. If that never happens and the array is stopped while still read-auto, then there is no loss in forgetting the that the device had 'failed'. A read-only array will leave failed devices attached to the array personality, so we need to explicitly call remove_and_add_spares() to free it (clearing Blocked just like we do in store_slot()).

slot_store and remove_and_add_spares both call ->hot_remove_disk(), but with slightly different tests and consequences, which is at least untidy and might be buggy. So modify remove_and_add_spaces() so that it can be asked to remove a specific device, and call it from slot_store(). We also clear the Blocked flag to ensure that doesn't prevent removal. The purpose of Blocked is to prevent automatic removal by the kernel before an error is acknowledged. If the array is read/write then user-space would have not reason to remove a device unless it was known to be 'spare' or 'faulty' in which it would have already cleared the Blocked flag. If the array is read-only, the flag might still be blocked, but there is no harm in clearing the flag for read-only arrays. Signed-off-by:

Normally we don't even try to update the metadata if the array is read-only. However future patches will increase the number of things that can happen on a read-only array, so it is safest to explicitly disable this. Every time that mddev->ro is set to 0, either - md_update_sb will be called again (at least if MD_CHANGE_DEVS is set) or - the mddev->thread is scheduled, which will also run md_update_sb if needed. So this is safe: if the array ever become read-write the metadata will be updated. Signed-off-by:

MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs. This patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure it is about to operate on something valid. This patch also checks for 'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'. Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in 'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation. Signed-off-by:

If something has failed while the array was read-auto, then when we switch to 'active' we need to update the metadata. This will happen anyway but it is good to expedite it, and also to ensure any failed device has been released by the underlying device before we try to action the ioctl which caused us to switch to 'active' mode.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you. So: disable setting of the available size on each device for RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so can change the effective layout of data. Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate, but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be safe. Without this change: mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max then read to the end of the array can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array. These bugs have been present ever since it became possible to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is suitable for any -stable kerenl. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

When we remove a device from an md array, the final removal of the "dev-XX" sys entry is run asynchronously. If we then re-add that device immediately before the worker thread gets to run, we can end up trying to add the "dev-XX" sysfs entry back before it has been removed. So in both places where we add a device, call flush_workqueue(md_misc_wq); before taking the md lock (as holding the md lock can prevent removal to complete). Signed-off-by:

New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant. The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd" before putting it to sleep. All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the macro with the lock held. Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

If 'resync_max' is set to 0 (as is often done when starting a reshape, so the mdadm can remain in control during a sensitive period), and if the reshape request is initially delayed because another array using the same array is resyncing or reshaping etc, when user-space cannot easily tell when the delay changes from being due to a conflicting reshape, to being due to resync_max = 0. So introduce a new state: (curr_resync == 3) to reflect this, make sure it is visible both via /proc/mdstat and via the "sync_completed" sysfs attribute, and ensure that the event transition from one delay state to the other is properly notified.

If you make an array bigger but suppress resync of the new region with mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --size=max --assume-clean then stop the array before anything is written to it, the effect of the "--assume-clean" is lost and the array will resync the new space when restarted. So ensure that we update the metadata in the case. Reported-by:

In some cases array are started in 'read-auto' state where in nothing gets written to any device until the array is written to. The purpose of this is to make accidental auto-assembly of the wrong arrays less of a risk, and to allow arrays to be started to read suspend-to-disk images without actually changing anything (as might happen if the array were dirty and a resync seemed necessary). Explicitly writing the 'sync_action' for a read-auto array currently doesn't clear the read-auto state, so the sync action doesn't happen, which can be confusing. So allow any successful write to sync_action to clear any read-auto state. Reported-by:

Now that multiple threads can handle stripes, it is safer to use an atomic64_t for resync_mismatches, to avoid update races. Signed-off-by:
