mddev->bitmap gets clearred before the writeback daemon is stopped. So the write_back daemon needs to be careful not to dereference the 'bitmap' if it is NULL. Signed-off-by:

Switch MD to use the kthread infrastructure, to simplify the code and get rid of tasklist_lock abuse in md_unregister_thread. Also don't flush signals in md_thread, as the called thread will always do that. Signed-off-by:

This is a direct port of the raid5 patch. Signed-off-by:

Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have been flushed. To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented each time the raid5 is unplugged. If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes, and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write. When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq number. We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

version-1 superblocks are not (normally) 4K long, and can be of variable size. Writing the full 4K can cause corruption (but only in non-default configurations). With this patch the super-block-flavour can choose a size to read, and set a size to write based on what it finds. Signed-off-by:

read_sb_page() assumed that if sync_page_io fails, the device would be marked faultly. However it isn't. So in the face of error, read_sb_page would loop forever. Redo the logic so that this cannot happen. Signed-off-by:

It is possibly (and occasionally useful) to have a raid1 without persistent superblocks. The code in add_new_disk for adding a device to such an array always tries to read a superblock. This will obviously fail. So do the appropriate test and call md_import_device with appropriate args. Signed-off-by:

When hot-adding a bitmap, bitmap_daemon_work could get called while the bitmap is being created, so don't set mddev->bitmap until the bitmap is ready. This requires freeing the bitmap inside bitmap_create if creation failed part-way through. Signed-off-by:

linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems. So we introduce a pre-shift, and take care not to make the hash table too large, much like the code in raid0. Also get rid of conf->nr_zones, which is not needed. Signed-off-by:

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is enabled for WriteMostly devices. Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io) when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete. This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being written. If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write semantics. Signed-Off-By:

Both file-bitmaps and superblock bitmaps are supported. If you add a bitmap file on the array device, you lose. This introduces a 'default_bitmap_offset' field in mddev, as the ioctl used for adding a superblock bitmap doesn't have room for giving an offset. Later, this value will be setable via sysfs.

When we find a 'stale' bitmap, possibly because it is new, we should just assume every bit needs to be set, but rather base the setting of bits on the current state of the array (degraded and recovery_cp). Signed-off-by:

Fix another bug in dm-raid1.c that the dirty region may stay in or be moved to clean list and freed while in use. It happens as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rh_dec() if (atomic_dec_and_test(pending)) <the region is still marked dirty> rh_inc() if the region is clean mark the region dirty and remove from clean list mark the region clean and move to clean list atomic_inc(pending) At this stage, the region is in clean list and will be mistakenly reclaimed by rh_update_states() later.

'this_sector' is a virtual (array) address while 'head_position' is a physical (device) address, so substraction doesn't make any sense. devs[slot].addr should be used instead of this_sector. However, this patch doesn't make much practical different to the read balancing due to the effects of later code. Signed-off-by:

This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup. The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory descriptor tables, but did not. It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from. Based on example code by Linus. Acked-by:

um has it own set of files for asm-offsets. So for now the gen-asm-offset macro is just duplicated in the um Makefile. This may well be the final solution since um is a bit special compared to other architectures - time will tell. Also added a dummy arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.h file to keep kbuild happy.

This patch removes ability to interrupt and restart operations while there hasn't been any side-effect. The reason: applications. There are some apps it seems that generate signals at a fast rate. This means, that if the operation cannot make enough progress between two signals, it will be restarted for ever. This bug actually manifested itself with 'krusader' trying to open a file for writing under sshfs. Thanks to Eduard Czimbalmos for the report. The problem can be solved just by making open() uninterruptible, because in this case it was the truncate operation that slowed down the progress. But it's better to solve this by simply not allowing interrupts at all (except SIGKILL), because applications don't expect file operations to be interruptible anyway. As an added bonus the code is simplified somewhat. Signed-off-by:
