      cx25821: Remove bad strcpy to read-only char* · 380e99fc
      Ezequiel Garcia authored
      The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board.  Since the
      destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at
      compile time; this was both wrong and redundant.
      
      The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

      md/raid1: close some possible races on write errors during resync · 58e94ae1
      NeilBrown authored
      commit 4367af55
         md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds.
      
      Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of
      end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of
      sync_request_write.  So if the writes complete very quickly, or
      scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling
      the request and the resync could hang.
      
      Also commit 73d5c38a
          md: avoid races when stopping resync.
      
      Fix a race condition in this same code in end_sync_write but didn't
      make the change in sync_request_write.
      
      This patch updates sync_request_write to fix both of those.
      Patch is suitable for 3.1 and later kernels.

      md: avoid crash when stopping md array races with closing other open fds. · a05b7ea0
      NeilBrown authored
      md will refuse to stop an array if any other fd (or mounted fs) is
      using it.
      When any fs is unmounted of when the last open fd is closed all
      pending IO will be flushed (e.g. sync_blockdev call in __blkdev_put)
      so there will be no pending IO to worry about when the array is
      stopped.
      
      However in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to stop the array one
      must first get and open fd on the block device.
      If some fd is being used to write to the block device and it is closed
      after mdadm open the block device, but before mdadm issues the
      STOP_ARRAY ioctl, then there will be no last-close on the md device so
      __blkdev_put will not call sync_blockdev.
      
      If this happens, then IO can still be in-flight while md tears down
      the array and bad things can happen (use-after-free and subsequent
      havoc).
      
      So in the case where do_md_stop is being called from an open file
      descriptor, call sync_block after taking the mutex to ensure there
      will be no new openers.
      
      This is needed when setting a read-write device to read-only too.

      md: fix bug in handling of new_data_offset · 25f7fd47
      NeilBrown authored
      commit c6563a8c
          md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.
      
      introduced a 'new_data_offset' attribute which should normally
      be the same as 'data_offset', but can be explicitly set to a different
      value to allow a reshape operation to move the data.
      
      Unfortunately when the 'data_offset' is explicitly set through
      sysfs, the new_data_offset is not also set, so the two would become
      out-of-sync incorrectly.
      
      One result of this is that trying to set the 'size' after the
      'data_offset' would fail because it is not permitted to set the size
      when the 'data_offset' and 'new_data_offset' are different - as that
      can be confusing.
      Consequently when mdadm tried to do this while assembling an IMSM
      array it would fail.
      
      This bug was introduced in 3.5-rc1.

      Make wait_for_device_probe() also do scsi_complete_async_scans() · eea03c20
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit a7a20d10 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain")
      make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async
      domain.
      
      However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized
      by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes
      the global async space, not all of them).  Which in turn meant that
      "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be
      parsed.
      
      And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on
      for mounting the root filesystem.
      
      Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it
      timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd.  So the root
      filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all.  And then before they
      actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the
      scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected
      wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans().
      
      [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken,
        but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d ("fix async probe
        regression"), so that same commit a7a20d10 had actually broken
        setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ]
      
      Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call
      into wait_for_device_probe().  Everybody who wants to wait for device
      probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's
      no reason not to do this.
      
      So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and
      properly waits for device probing to finish.  This also removes the now
      unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

      mm: fix lost kswapd wakeup in kswapd_stop() · 1c7e7f6c
      Aaditya Kumar authored
      Offlining memory may block forever, waiting for kswapd() to wake up
      because kswapd() does not check the event kthread->should_stop before
      sleeping.
      
      The proper pattern, from Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, is:
      
         ---  waker  ---
         event_indicated = 1;
         wake_up_process(event_daemon);
      
         ---  sleeper  ---
         for (;;) {
            set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
            if (event_indicated)
               break;
            schedule();
         }
      
         set_current_state() may be wrapped by:
            prepare_to_wait();
      
      In the kswapd() case, event_indicated is kthread->should_stop.
      
        === offlining memory (waker) ===
         kswapd_stop()
            kthread_stop()
               kthread->should_stop = 1
               wake_up_process()
               wait_for_completion()
      
        ===  kswapd_try_to_sleep (sleeper) ===
         kswapd_try_to_sleep()
            prepare_to_wait()
                 .
                 .
            schedule()
                 .
                 .
            finish_wait()
      
      The schedule() needs to be protected by a test of kthread->should_stop,
      which is wrapped by kthread_should_stop().
      
      Reproducer:
         Do heavy file I/O in background.
         Do a memory offline/online in a tight loop
