raid6 currently does not check the P/Q syndromes when doing a resync, it just calculates the correct value and writes it. Doing the check can reduce writes (often to 0) for a resync, and it is needed to properly implement the echo check > sync_action operation. This patch implements the appropriate checks and tidies up some related code. It also allows raid6 user-requested resync to bypass the intent bitmap. Signed-off-by:

This is important because bitmap_create uses mddev->resync_max_sectors and that doesn't have a valid value until after the array has been initialised (with pers->run()). [It doesn't make a difference for current personalities that support bitmaps, but will make a difference for raid10] This has the added advantage of meaning with can move the thread->timeout manipulation inside the bitmap.c code instead of sprinkling identical code throughout all personalities.

Resync code: A test that isn't needed, a 'compute_block' that makes more sense elsewhere (And then doesn't need a test), a couple of BUG_ONs to confirm the change makes sense. Printks: A few were missing KERN_* Also fix a typo in a comment.. Signed-off-by: -

raid10 needs to put up a barrier to new requests while it does resync or other background recovery. The code for this is currently open-coded, slighty obscure by its use of two waitqueues, and not documented. This patch gathers all the related code into 4 functions, and includes a comment which (hopefully) explains what is happening. Signed-off-by:

I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on 2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem. The configuration in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors. I set up the dm_mirror table as such: 0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0 If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes across both SCSI disks. The sector count of the dm device is less than the size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end. However, I always get the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table: attempt to access beyond end of device sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584 Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive. I traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which gets called when we're putting the mirror set together. This function calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync. The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c. The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e. the bit is 0), which is where the problem occurs. If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1 (which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter (lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32! I don't know if this is intentional, but i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior. In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and return 0. Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync areas outside of the RAID1 region. Seeing as the HostRAID metadata lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area is not a good idea. I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if there's a reason for the current behavior.

A typical nfsd call trace is nfsd -> svc_process -> nfsd_dispatch -> nfsd3_proc_write -> nfsd_write ->nfsd_vfs_write -> vfs_writev These add up to over 300 bytes on the stack. Looking at each of these, I see that nfsd_write (which includes nfsd_vfs_write) contributes 0x8c to stack usage itself!! It turns out this is because it puts a 'struct iattr' on the stack so it can kill suid if needed. The following patch saves about 50 bytes off the stack in this call path. Signed-off-by:

Both vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync return error statuses which nfsd was largely ignoring. This as noticed when exporting directories using fuse. This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines. There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status either. Signed-off-by:

I submitted this one previously - svc_tcp_recvfrom currently returns any errors to the caller, including ECONNRESET and the like. This is something svc_recv isn't able to deal with: len = svsk->sk_recvfrom(rqstp); [...] if (len == 0 || len == -EAGAIN) { [...] return -EAGAIN; } [...] return len; The nfsd main loop will exit when it sees an error code other than EAGAIN. The following patch fixes this problem svc_recv is not equipped to deal with error codes other than EAGAIN, and will propagate anything else (such as ECONNRESET) up to nfsd, causing it to exit.

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain. Signed-off-by:

Fix potential buffer overflow in case the device ID did not end in semicolon. Also might fail to negotiate back to IEEE1284_MODE_COMPAT in case of failure. parport_device_id did not return what Documentation/parport-lowlevel.txt said, so I changed it to match it. Determining device ID length is overly complicated, but Tim Waugh recalled on linux-parport seeing some buggy device that might need it. Signed-off-by:
