      md/raid10: Fix memory leak when raid10 reshape completes. · b3968552
      NeilBrown authored 
      When a raid10 commences a resync/recovery/reshape it allocates
some buffer space.
When a resync/recovery completes the buffer space is freed.  But not
when the reshape completes.
This can result in a small memory leak.

There is a subtle side-effect of this bug.  When a RAID10 is reshaped
to a larger array (more devices), the reshape is immediately followed
by a "resync" of the new space.  This "resync" will use the buffer
space which was allocated for "reshape".  This can cause problems
including a "BUG" in the SCSI layer.  So this is suitable for -stable.

      md/raid10: fix memory leak when reshaping a RAID10. · ce0b0a46
      NeilBrown authored 
      raid10 reshape clears unwanted bits from a bio->bi_flags using
a method which, while clumsy, worked until 3.10 when BIO_OWNS_VEC
was added.
Since then it clears that bit but shouldn't.  This results in a
memory leak.

So change to used the approved method of clearing unwanted bits.

As this causes a memory leak which can consume all of memory
the fix is suitable for -stable.

      md/raid6: avoid data corruption during recovery of double-degraded RAID6 · 9c4bdf69
      NeilBrown authored 
      During recovery of a double-degraded RAID6 it is possible for
some blocks not to be recovered properly, leading to corruption.

If a write happens to one block in a stripe that would be written to a
missing device, and at the same time that stripe is recovering data
to the other missing device, then that recovered data may not be written.

This patch skips, in the double-degraded case, an optimisation that is
only safe for single-degraded arrays.

Bug was introduced in 2.6.32 and fix is suitable for any kernel since
then.  In an older kernel with separate handle_stripe5() and
handle_stripe6() functions the patch must change handle_stripe6().

      md/raid5: avoid livelock caused by non-aligned writes. · a40687ff
      NeilBrown authored 
      If a stripe in a raid6 array received a write to each data block while
the array is degraded, and if any of these writes to a missing device
are not page-aligned, then a live-lock happens.

In this case the P and Q blocks need to be read so that the part of
the missing block which is *not* being updated by the write can be
constructed.  Due to a logic error, these blocks are not loaded, so
the update cannot proceed and the stripe is 'handled' repeatedly in an
infinite loop.

This bug is unlikely as most writes are page aligned.  However as it
can lead to a livelock it is suitable for -stable.  It was introduced
in 3.16.
