NFS needs to be able to distinguish between single-page ->writepage() calls and multipage ->writepages() calls. For the single-page writepage calls NFS can kick off the I/O within the context of ->writepage(). For multipage ->writepages calls, nfs_writepage() will leave the I/O pending and nfs_writepages() will kick off the I/O when it all has been queued up within NFS.

This was harmless, but for the case of a device that had no irq pre-defined we would incorrectly suggest that "usepirqmask" might make a difference. It never would, and the message was just confusing people. Reported in the dmesg of Etienne Lorrain. Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds suspend patch to libata, and ata_piix in particular. For most low level drivers, they should just need to add the 4 hooks to work. As I can only test ata_piix, I didn't enable it for more though. Suspend support is the single most important feature on a notebook, and most new notebooks have sata drives. It's quite embarrassing that we _still_ do not support this. Right now, it's perfectly possible to suspend the drive in mid-transfer. Signed-off-by:

Move the checks - that dev size is never less than array size - into bind_rdev_to_array to make sure it always happens properly (there is one place where currently it doesn't). Also reject any superblock which claims an array size smaller than the device in question can hold. Signed-off-by:

The kernel should not be imposing these policy limits: The time between bitmap updates should certainly be allowed to be more than 15 seconds, and if someone wants a bitmap chunk size in excess of 4MB, the kernel isn't the place to stop them. Signed-off-by:

The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10 currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make. So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set. Signed-off-by: -

With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing, and devices being added and removed. It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that: We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if only for EOF). We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect it as an exceptional event. Not only are these exceptional events, but that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events (It also polls after a timeout). (We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts). Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file is read, rather than when poll() returns an event. This is more robust as it means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the program clearly responds to that activity. md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations. When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in the r10_bio so we don't re-try it. During resync, we always read all blocks, so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that we found (assuming we found one). Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way. There is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case. If there are 3 or more copies, then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now. Signed-off-by:

There is this "FIXME" comment with a typo in it!! that been annoying me for days, so I just had to remove it. conf->disks[i].rdev should only be accessed if - we know we hold a reference or - the mddev->reconfig_sem is down or - we have a rcu_readlock handle_stripe was referencing rdev in three places without any of these. For the first two, get an rcu_readlock. For the last, the same access (md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set. So just use that access... However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the same information. So use that instead. Issues, comment, and fix are identical in raid5 and raid6. Signed-off-by:
