We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M
just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we
even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP.
This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people.
When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the
defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at
11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

raid5 overloads bi_phys_segments to count the number of blocks that the

Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock. In one case we also call
bi_end_io under that spinlock, which probably isn't ideal as bi_end_io could

We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a
position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing
chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices.
When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the
conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the
array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect.
When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the
reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like
when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let

This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process.
sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly.
It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target
geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING.
Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed
by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to
read all blocks on those stripes.
Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are
needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a
STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then
is written out and released.

We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and
use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must
block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again.
Key elements in this change are:
- each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key,
thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of
the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these
will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests.
- conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and
is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been
expanded yet or not.

Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache
data structure.
This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds,
we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache.
We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's
new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again.
Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short
period of time, we have two kmem_caches. So they are raid5/%s and
raid5/%s-alt

The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only
shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that
changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing
the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6).
The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so
should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does
support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence.
You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth.
This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the
start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart,
mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue.
I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more
polishing.
This patch:
Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf'
structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward
to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate
kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier
to grow.

dm-mirror has potential data corruption problem: while on-disk log shows
that all disk contents are in-sync, actual contents of the disks are not
synchronized. This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is
interrupted and resumed.
Attached patch fixes this problem.
Background:
rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.
This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended
before the initial sync is completed. The clean_bits is written down to
the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied
to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a
region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC
to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.
If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel
sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently. If
you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.
The patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged. It will be changed to
RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery
completes. So it doesn't leak the region hash entry.
Description:
Keep RH_NOSYNC state unchanged when I/O on the region completes.
rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.
This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended

If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel

you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.
The RH_NOSYNC region will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts
on the region and get reclaimed when the recovery completes. So it doesn't
leak the region hash entry.

The siblings "list" is used unsafely at the moment.
Firstly, only the element on the list being changed gets locked (via the
snapshot lock), not the next and previous elements which have pointers that
are also being changed.
Secondly, if you have two or more snapshots and write to the same chunk a
second time before every snapshot has finished making its private copy of the
data, if you're unlucky, _origin_write() could attempt its list_merge() and
dereference a 'last' pointer to a pending_exception structure that has just
been freed.
Analysis reveals that the list is actually only there for reference counting.
If 5 pending_exceptions are needed in origin_write, then the 5 are joined
together into a 5-element list - without a separate list head because there's
nowhere suitable to store it. As the pending_exceptions complete, they are
removed from the list one-by-one and any contents of origin_bios get moved
across to one of the remaining pending_exceptions on the list. Whichever one
is last is detected because list_empty() is then true and the origin_bios get
submitted.
The fix proposed here uses an alternative reference counting mechanism by
choosing one of the pending_exceptions as primary and maintaining an atomic
counter there.

Say you have several snapshots of the same origin and then you issue a write
to some place in the origin for the first time.
Before the device-mapper snapshot target lets the write go through to the
underlying device, it needs to make a copy of the data that is about to be
overwritten. Each snapshot is independent, so it makes one copy for each
snapshot.
__origin_write() loops through each snapshot and checks to see whether a copy
is needed for that snapshot. (A copy is only needed the first time that data
changes.)
If a copy is needed, the code allocates a 'pending_exception' structure
holding the details. It links these together for all the snapshots, then
works its way through this list and submits the copying requests to the kcopyd
thread by calling start_copy(). When each request is completed, the original
pending_exception structure gets freed in pending_complete().
If you're very unlucky, this structure can get freed *before* the submission
process has finished walking the list.
This patch:
1) Creates a new temporary list pe_queue to hold the pending exception
structures;
2) Does all the bookkeeping up-front, then walks through the new list
safely and calls start_copy() for each pending_exception that needed it;
3) Avoids attempting to add pe->siblings to the list if it's already
connected.
[NB This does not fix all the races in this code. More patches will follow.]
