For raid6, when two disk of the array are offline, two spare disks can
be added into the array. Before spare disks recovery completing,
system reboot and mdadm thinks it is ok to restart the degraded
array by md_ioctl(). Since disks in raid6 is not only_parity(),
raid5_run() will abort, when there is no PPL feature or not setting
'start_dirty_degraded' parameter. Therefore, mddev->pers is NULL.

But, mddev->raid_disks has been set and it will not be cleared when
raid5_run abort. md_ioctl() can execute cmd 'HOT_REMOVE_DISK' to
remove a disk by mdadm, which will cause NULL pointer dereference
in remove_and_add_spares() finally.

NeilBrown 2fc45ef962 md: remove special meaning of ->quiesce(.., 2)
commit b03e0ccb5a upstream.

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call ->quiesce(.., 1); ->quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.

NeilBrown ce57466d32 md: allow metadata update while suspending.
commit 35bfc52187 upstream.

There are various deadlocks that can occur
when a thread holds reconfig_mutex and calls
->quiesce(mddev, 1).
As some write request block waiting for
metadata to be updated (e.g. to record device
failure), and as the md thread updates the metadata
while the reconfig mutex is held, holding the mutex
can stop write requests completing, and this prevents
->quiesce(mddev, 1) from completing.

->quiesce() is now usually called from mddev_suspend(),
and it is always called with reconfig_mutex held.  So
at this time it is safe for the thread to update metadata
without explicitly taking the lock.

So add 2 new flags, one which says the unlocked updates is
allowed, and one which ways it is happening.  Then allow it
while the quiesce completes, and then wait for it to finish.

NeilBrown feabea2165 md: move suspend_hi/lo handling into core md code
commit b3143b9a38 upstream.

responding to ->suspend_lo and ->suspend_hi is similar
to responding to ->suspended.  It is best to wait in
the common core code without incrementing ->active_io.
This allows mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to work while
requests are waiting for suspend_lo/hi to change.
This is will be important after a subsequent patch
which uses mddev_suspend() to synchronize updating for
suspend_lo/hi.

So move the code for testing suspend_lo/hi out of raid1.c
and raid5.c, and place it in md.c

NeilBrown cc091f3fbb md: don't call bitmap_create() while array is quiesced.
commit 52a0d49de3 upstream.

bitmap_create() allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL and
so can wait for IO.
If called while the array is quiesced, it could wait indefinitely
for write out to the array - deadlock.
So call bitmap_create() before quiescing the array.

NeilBrown e44e4cf3a8 md: always hold reconfig_mutex when calling mddev_suspend()
commit 4d5324f760 upstream.

Most often mddev_suspend() is called with
reconfig_mutex held.  Make this a requirement in
preparation a subsequent patch.  Also require
reconfig_mutex to be held for mddev_resume(),
partly for symmetry and partly to guarantee
no races with incr/decr of mddev->suspend.

Taking the mutex in r5c_disable_writeback_async() is
a little tricky as this is called from a work queue
via log->disable_writeback_work, and flush_work()
is called on that while holding ->reconfig_mutex.
If the work item hasn't run before flush_work()
is called, the work function will not be able to
get the mutex.

So we use mddev_trylock() inside the wait_event() call, and have that
abort when conf->log is set to NULL, which happens before
flush_work() is called.
We wait in mddev->sb_wait and ensure this is woken
when any of the conditions change.  This requires
waking mddev->sb_wait in mddev_unlock().  This is only
like to trigger extra wake_ups of threads that needn't
be woken when metadata is being written, and that
doesn't happen often enough that the cost would be
noticeable.

NeilBrown dfeb333b59 md: fix two problems with setting the "re-add" device state.
commit 011abdc9df upstream.

If "re-add" is written to the "state" file for a device
which is faulty, this has an effect similar to removing
and re-adding the device.  It should take up the
same slot in the array that it previously had, and
an accelerated (e.g. bitmap-based) rebuild should happen.

The slot that "it previously had" is determined by
rdev->saved_raid_disk.
However this is not set when a device fails (only when a device
is added), and it is cleared when resync completes.
This means that "re-add" will normally work once, but may not work a
second time.

This patch includes two fixes.
1/ when a device fails, record the ->raid_disk value in
    ->saved_raid_disk before clearing ->raid_disk
2/ when "re-add" is written to a device for which
    ->saved_raid_disk is not set, fail.

I think this is suitable for stable as it can
cause re-adding a device to be forced to do a full
resync which takes a lot longer and so puts data at
more risk.

BingJing Chang 0a4c60471d md: fix a potential deadlock of raid5/raid10 reshape
[ Upstream commit 8876391e44 ]

There is a potential deadlock if mount/umount happens when
raid5_finish_reshape() tries to grow the size of emulated disk.

How the deadlock happens?
1) The raid5 resync thread finished reshape (expanding array).
2) The mount or umount thread holds VFS sb->s_umount lock and tries to
   write through critical data into raid5 emulated block device. So it
   waits for raid5 kernel thread handling stripes in order to finish it
   I/Os.
3) In the routine of raid5 kernel thread, md_check_recovery() will be
   called first in order to reap the raid5 resync thread. That is,
   raid5_finish_reshape() will be called. In this function, it will try
   to update conf and call VFS revalidate_disk() to grow the raid5
   emulated block device. It will try to acquire VFS sb->s_umount lock.
The raid5 kernel thread cannot continue, so no one can handle mount/
umount I/Os (stripes). Once the write-through I/Os cannot be finished,
mount/umount will not release sb->s_umount lock. The deadlock happens.

The raid5 kernel thread is an emulated block device. It is responible to
handle I/Os (stripes) from upper layers. The emulated block device
should not request any I/Os on itself. That is, it should not call VFS
layer functions. (If it did, it will try to acquire VFS locks to
guarantee the I/Os sequence.) So we have the resync thread to send
resync I/O requests and to wait for the results.

For solving this potential deadlock, we can put the size growth of the
emulated block device as the final step of reshape thread.

2017/12/29:
Thanks to Guoqing Jiang <gqjiang@suse.com>,
we confirmed that there is the same deadlock issue in raid10. It's
reproducible and can be fixed by this patch. For raid10.c, we can remove
the similar code to prevent deadlock as well since they has been called
before.

Heinz Mauelshagen e08f866978 md: fix md_write_start() deadlock w/o metadata devices
[ Upstream commit 4b6c1060ea ]

If no metadata devices are configured on raid1/4/5/6/10
(e.g. via dm-raid), md_write_start() unconditionally waits
for superblocks to be written thus deadlocking.

Fix introduces mddev->has_superblocks bool, defines it in md_run()
and checks for it in md_write_start() to conditionally avoid waiting.

Once on it, check for non-existing superblocks in md_super_write().

NeilBrown 9474d8fa7a md: only allow remove_and_add_spares when no sync_thread running.
commit 39772f0a7b upstream.

The locking protocols in md assume that a device will
never be removed from an array during resync/recovery/reshape.
When that isn't happening, rcu or reconfig_mutex is needed
to protect an rdev pointer while taking a refcount.  When
it is happening, that protection isn't needed.

Unfortunately there are cases were remove_and_add_spares() is
called when recovery might be happening: is state_store(),
slot_store() and hot_remove_disk().
In each case, this is just an optimization, to try to expedite
removal from the personality so the device can be removed from
the array.  If resync etc is happening, we just have to wait
for md_check_recover to find a suitable time to call
remove_and_add_spares().

This optimization and not essential so it doesn't
matter if it fails.
So change remove_and_add_spares() to abort early if
resync/recovery/reshape is happening, unless it is called
from md_check_recovery() as part of a newly started recovery.
The parameter "this" is only NULL when called from
md_check_recovery() so when it is NULL, there is no need to abort.

As this can result in a NULL dereference, the fix is suitable
for -stable.

Guoqing Jiang 6d7bdad132 md: always set THREAD_WAKEUP and wake up wqueue if thread existed
[ Upstream commit d1d90147c9 ]

Since commit 4ad23a9764 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending"),
the wait_queue is only got invoked if THREAD_WAKEUP is not set previously.

With above change, I can see process_metadata_update could always hang on
the wait queue, because mddev->thread could stay on 'D' status and the
THREAD_WAKEUP flag is not cleared since there are lots of place to wake up
mddev->thread. Then deadlock happened as follows:

linux175:~ # ps aux|grep md|grep D

commit 230b55fa8d upstream.

Having both a bitmap and a journal is pointless.
Attempting to do so can corrupt the bitmap if the journal
replay happens before the bitmap is initialized.
Rather than try to avoid this corruption, simply
refuse to allow arrays with both a bitmap and a journal.
So:
 - if raid5_run sees both are present, fail.
 - if adding a bitmap finds a journal is present, fail
 - if adding a journal finds a bitmap is present, fail.

Shaohua Li 393debc23c md: separate request handling
With commit cc27b0c78c, pers->make_request could bail out without handling
the bio. If that happens, we should retry.  The commit fixes md_make_request
but not other call sites. Separate the request handling part, so other call
sites can use it.

there is no notification of new spare disk in the container and mdadm

Christoph Hellwig 74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

NeilBrown 81fe48e9aa md: fix test in md_write_start()
md_write_start() needs to clear the in_sync flag is it is set, or if
there might be a race with set_in_sync() such that the later will
set it very soon.  In the later case it is sufficient to take the
spinlock to synchronize with set_in_sync(), and then set the flag
if needed.

The current test is incorrect.
It should be:
  if "flag is set" or "race is possible"

"flag is set" is trivially "mddev->in_sync".
"race is possible" should be tested by "mddev->sync_checkers".

If sync_checkers is 0, then there can be no race.  set_in_sync() will
wait in percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_sync() for an RCU grace period,
and as md_write_start() holds the rcu_read_lock(), set_in_sync() will
be sure ot see the update to writes_pending.

If sync_checkers is > 0, there could be race.  If md_write_start()
happened entirely between
		if (!mddev->in_sync &&
		    percpu_ref_is_zero(&mddev->writes_pending)) {
and
			mddev->in_sync = 1;
in set_in_sync(), then it would not see that is_sync had been set,
and set_in_sync() would not see that writes_pending had been
incremented.

This bug means that in_sync is sometimes not set when it should be.
Consequently there is a small chance that the array will be marked as
"clean" when in fact it is inconsistent.

NeilBrown 33182d15c6 md: always clear ->safemode when md_check_recovery gets the mddev lock.
If ->safemode == 1, md_check_recovery() will try to get the mddev lock
and perform various other checks.
If mddev->in_sync is zero, it will call set_in_sync, and clear
->safemode.  However if mddev->in_sync is not zero, ->safemode will not
be cleared.

When md_check_recovery() drops the mddev lock, the thread is woken
up again.  Normally it would just check if there was anything else to
do, find nothing, and go to sleep.  However as ->safemode was not
cleared, it will take the mddev lock again, then wake itself up
when unlocking.

This results in an infinite loop, repeatedly calling
md_check_recovery(), which RCU or the soft-lockup detector
will eventually complain about.

Prior to commit 4ad23a9764 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for
writes_pending"), safemode would only be set to one when the
writes_pending counter reached zero, and would be cleared again
when writes_pending is incremented.  Since that patch, safemode
is set more freely, but is not reliably cleared.

So in md_check_recovery() clear ->safemode before checking ->in_sync.

NeilBrown 5a85071c2c md: use a separate bio_set for synchronous IO.
md devices allocate a bio_set and use it for two
distinct purposes.
mddev->bio_set is used to clone bios as part of sending
upper level requests down to lower level devices,
and it is also use for synchronous IO such as superblock
and bitmap updates, and for correcting read errors.

This multiple usage can lead to deadlocks.  It is likely
that cloned bios might be queued for write and to be
waiting for a metadata update before the write can be permitted.
If the cloning exhausted mddev->bio_set, the metadata update
may not be able to proceed.

This scenario has been seen during heavy testing, with lots of IO and
lots of memory pressure.

Address this by adding a new bio_set specifically for synchronous IO.
All synchronous IO goes directly to the underlying device and is not
queued at the md level, so request using entries from the new
mddev->sync_set will complete in a timely fashion.
Requests that use mddev->bio_set will sometimes need to wait
for synchronous IO, but will no longer risk deadlocking that iO.

Also: small simplification in mddev_put(): there is no need to
wait until the spinlock is released before calling bioset_free().

So remove bio_clone() and all references.

NeilBrown 011067b056 blk: replace bioset_create_nobvec() with a flags arg to bioset_create()
"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().

To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().

Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

NeilBrown cc27b0c78c md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start()
If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.

We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

Since commit 6791875e2e ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes

mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This
revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like
"stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need
for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN
and retrying the write.

The intention when creating the "new_array" parameter and the
possibility of having array names line "md_HOME" was to transition
away from the old way of creating arrays and to eventually only use
this new way.

The "old" way of creating array is to create a device node in /dev
and then open it.  The act of opening creates the array.
This is problematic because sometimes the device node can be opened
when we don't want to create an array.  This can easily happen
when some rule triggered by udev looks at a device as it is being
destroyed.  The node in /dev continues to exist for a short period
after an array is stopped, and opening it during this time recreates
the array (as an inactive array).

Unfortunately no clear plan for the transition was created.  It is now
time to fix that.

This patch allows devices with numeric names, like "md999" to be
created by writing to "new_array".  This will only work if the minor
number given is not already in use.  This will allow mdadm to
support the creation of arrays with numbers > 511 (currently not
possible) by writing to new_array.
mdadm can, at some point, use this approach to create *all* arrays,
which will allow the transition to only using the new-way.

md.c: it needs to release the mddev lock before
the array_size_store() returns.

NeilBrown 065e519e71 md: MD_CLOSING needs to be cleared after called md_set_readonly or do_md_stop
if called md_set_readonly and set MD_CLOSING bit, the mddev cannot
be opened any more due to the MD_CLOING bit wasn't cleared. Thus it
needs to be cleared in md_ioctl after any call to md_set_readonly()
or do_md_stop().

NeilBrown 4ad23a9764 MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending
The 'writes_pending' counter is used to determine when the
array is stable so that it can be marked in the superblock
as "Clean".  Consequently it needs to be updated frequently
but only checked for zero occasionally.  Recent changes to
raid5 cause the count to be updated even more often - once
per 4K rather than once per bio.  This provided
justification for making the updates more efficient.

So we replace the atomic counter a percpu-refcount.
This can be incremented and decremented cheaply most of the
time, and can be switched to "atomic" mode when more
precise counting is needed.  As it is possible for multiple
threads to want a precise count, we introduce a
"sync_checker" counter to count the number of threads
in "set_in_sync()", and only switch the refcount back
to percpu mode when that is zero.

We need to be careful about races between set_in_sync()
setting ->in_sync to 1, and md_write_start() setting it
to zero.  md_write_start() holds the rcu_read_lock()
while checking if the refcount is in percpu mode.  If
it is, then we know a switch to 'atomic' will not happen until
after we call rcu_read_unlock(), in which case set_in_sync()
will see the elevated count, and not set in_sync to 1.
If it is not in percpu mode, we take the mddev->lock to
ensure proper synchronization.

It is no longer possible to quickly check if the count is zero, which
we previously did to update a timer or to schedule the md_thread.
So now we do these every time we decrement that counter, but make
sure they are fast.

mod_timer() already optimizes the case where the timeout value doesn't
actually change.  We leverage that further by always rounding off the
jiffies to the timeout value.  This may delay the marking of 'clean'
slightly, but ensure we only perform atomic operation here when absolutely
needed.

md_wakeup_thread() current always calls wake_up(), even if
THREAD_WAKEUP is already set.  That too can be optimised to avoid
calls to wake_up().
