      md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1. · 51d5668c
      NeilBrown authored
      When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
      counts as long as the difference is only '1'.  This is to cope with
      a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
      devices.
      
      However there are currently times when we update the event count by
      2.  This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
      and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
      update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
      
      This is bad for the above reason.  So change it to never increase by
      two.  This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
      'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
      small cost.  The spares will get a few more updates but that will
      still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
      
      Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
      array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
      mismatch.

          blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
      
      added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
      blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
      occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
      this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
      with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
      committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
      in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.
      
      With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
      previously I could not get a single run to complete.
      
      The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
      relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
      so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
      have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
      the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
      does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
      should not rely upon that feature.)
