2008-01-08md: fix data corruption when a degraded raid5 array is reshapedDan Williams1-2/+4
We currently do not wait for the block from the missing device to be computed from parity before copying data to the new stripe layout. The change in the raid6 code is not techincally needed as we don't delay data block recovery in the same way for raid6 yet. But making the change now is safer long-term.

2007-12-20dm crypt: use bio_add_pageMilan Broz1-13/+11
Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio. In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased and violate max_phys_segments restriction. This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction. This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently. Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec. All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

2007-12-20dm: table detect io beyond deviceJun'ichi Nomura4-14/+32
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed. (Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first, for example.) The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target() always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM btree. This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device. After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message() check for this condition using dm_target_is_valid(). Sample test script to trigger oops:

2007-10-20dm mpath: hp retry if not readyDave Wysochanski1-11/+53
This patch adds retries to the hp hardware handler, and utilizes the MP_RETRY flag of dm-multipath. For now in the hp handler, if we get a pg_init completed with a check condition we just assume we can retry the pg_init command. We make this assumption because of incomplete data on specific check condition code of the HP hardware, and because testing has shown the HP path initialization command to be idempotent. The number of times we retry is settable via the "pg_init_retries" multipath map feature.

2007-10-20dm mpath: add retry pg initDave Wysochanski2-14/+68
This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried. It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries. 1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and the command completes with an error code indicating the command should be retried. 2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry. 3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried. Otherwise fail_path() is called. If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your /etc/multipath.conf file. For example: features "2 pg_init_retries 7" The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.

2007-10-20dm: fix thaw_bdevJun'ichi Nomura1-1/+3
This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper. thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the device. Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter. struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache and be reused later. Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead. unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev() by checking the device is frozen or not. Easy reproducer is: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do dmsetup --notable create a dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a dmsetup remove a done It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore. So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode(): if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1) printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n", atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count), &ei->bdev); Without the patch, I saw something like: Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0) With the patch, the message didn't appear. The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix: commit d9dde59ba03095e526640988c0fedd75e93bc8b7 Date: Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800 [PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem. and backported to 2.6.15.5. It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without noflush.

2007-10-20dm io:ctl use constant struct sizeMilan Broz1-3/+3
Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported architectures. This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the structure. On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes. Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64 some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example. (BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now, but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)
