      md/raid5: Allow recovered part of partially recovered devices to be in-sync · 415e72d0
      NeilBrown authored 
      During a recovery of reshape the early part of some devices might be
in-sync while the later parts are not.
We we know we are looking at an early part it is good to treat that
part as in-sync for stripe calculations.

This is particularly important for a reshape which suffers device
failure.  Treating the data as in-sync can mean the difference between
data-safety and data-loss.

      md/raid5: More careful check for "has array failed". · 674806d6
      NeilBrown authored 
      When we are reshaping an array, the device failure combinations
that cause us to decide that the array as failed are more subtle.

In particular, any 'spare' will be fully in-sync in the section
of the array that has already been reshaped, thus failures that
affect only that section are less critical.

So encode this subtlety in a new function and call it as appropriate.

The case that showed this problem was a 4 drive RAID5 to 8 drive RAID6
conversion where the last two devices failed.
This resulted in:

  good good good good incomplete good good failed failed

while converting a 5-drive RAID6 to 8 drive RAID5
The incomplete device causes the whole array to look bad,
bad as it was actually good for the section that had been
converted to 8-drives, all the data was actually safe.

      md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices. · 70fffd0b
      NeilBrown authored 
      When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds
from the end of the devices to the beginning.

If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare)
we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape
progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records
that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would
only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset
number would be measured from the wrong end of the device.

Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be
recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active
to incorporate it in the array.

This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario:

A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined
operation.
The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a
spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that
spare as it progresses.  The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole
time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from
it, but must not because there is no valid data.

If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return
to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update
the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to
include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed
reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

      md/raid5: avoid oops when number of devices is reduced then increased. · e4e11e38
      NeilBrown authored 
      The entries in the stripe_cache maintained by raid5 are enlarged
when we increased the number of devices in the array, but not
shrunk when we reduce the number of devices.
So if entries are added after reducing the number of devices, we
much ensure to initialise the whole entry, not just the part that
is currently relevant.  Otherwise if we enlarge the array again,
we will reference uninitialised values.

As grow_buffers/shrink_buffer now want to use a count that is stored
explicity in the raid_conf, they should get it from there rather than
being passed it as a parameter.

      md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices. · e93f68a1
      NeilBrown authored 
      Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).

This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.

Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.

So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

      md: raid10: Fix null pointer dereference in fix_read_error() · 0544a21d
      Prasanna S. Panchamukhi authored 
      Such NULL pointer dereference can occur when the driver was fixing the
read errors/bad blocks and the disk was physically removed
causing a system crash. This patch check if the
rcu_dereference() returns valid rdev before accessing it in fix_read_error().

      Restore partition detection of newly created md arrays. · f3b99be1
      NeilBrown authored 
      Commit  b821eaa5 broke partition
detection for md arrays.

The logic was almost right.  However if revalidate_disk is called
when the device is not yet open, bdev->bd_disk won't be set, so the
flush_disk() Call will not set bd_invalidated.

So when md_open is called we still need to ensure that
->bd_invalidated gets set.  This is easily done with a call to
check_disk_size_change in the place where the offending commit removed
check_disk_change.  At the important times, the size will have changed
from 0 to non-zero, so check_disk_size_change will set bd_invalidated.
