      md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery. · d6b42dcb
      NeilBrown authored 
      If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current->bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

      md/bitmap: ensure to load bitmap when creating via sysfs. · 4474ca42
      NeilBrown authored 
      When commit 69e51b44 (md/bitmap:  separate out loading a bitmap...)
created bitmap_load, it missed calling it after bitmap_create when a
bitmap is created through the sysfs interface.
So if a bitmap is added this way, we don't allocate memory properly
and can crash.

This is suitable for any -stable release since 2.6.35.

      md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. · c744a65c
      NeilBrown authored 
      It seems that with recent kernel, writeback can still be happening
while shutdown is happening, and consequently data can be written
after the md reboot notifier switches all arrays to read-only.
This causes a BUG.

So don't switch them to read-only - just mark them clean and
set 'safemode' to '2' which mean that immediately after any
write the array will be switch back to 'clean'.

This could result in the shutdown happening when array is marked
dirty, thus forcing a resync on reboot.  However if you reboot
without performing a "sync" first, you get to keep both halves.

This is suitable for any stable kernel (though there might be some
conflicts with obvious fixes in earlier kernels).

      md: allow re-add to failed arrays. · dc10c643
      NeilBrown authored 
      When an array is failed (some data inaccessible) then there is no
point attempting to add a spare as it could not possibly be recovered.

However that may be value in re-adding a recently removed device.
e.g. if there is a write-intent-bitmap and it is clear, then access
to the data could be restored by this action.

So don't reject a re-add to a failed array for RAID10 and RAID5 (the
only arrays  types that check for a failed array).

      aio: fix the "too late munmap()" race · c7b28555
      Al Viro authored 
      Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
from progressing.  As the result, we can end up with async call of
put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
to them...

We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.

Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
area in aio_fput_routine().

      aio: fix io_setup/io_destroy race · 86b62a2c
      Al Viro authored 
      Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it
on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit.  The current
code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed
to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right
under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to
io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end
up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...

 "I have two additional and btrfs fixes in my for-linus branch.  One is
  a casting error that leads to memory corruption on i386 during scrub,
  and the other fixes a corner case in the backref walking code (also
  triggered by scrub)."
