md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmap

2012-04-22T23:21:44Z

commit afbaa90b80b1ec66e5137cc3824746bfdf559b18 upstream. If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being initialised. This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly. So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap to prevent problems. This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not apply cleanly before about 3.1. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

md/bitmap: ensure to load bitmap when creating via sysfs.

2012-04-02T16:27:11Z

commit 4474ca42e2577563a919fd3ed782e2ec55bf11a2 upstream. When commit 69e51b449d383e (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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

md/bitmap: remove unused fields from struct bitmap

2011-06-09T01:43:01Z

Get rid of ->syncchunk and ->counter_bits since they're never used. Also discard COUNTER_BYTE_RATIO which is unused. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md/bitmap: use proper accessor macro

MD: support initial bitmap creation in-kernel

2011-06-09T01:41:36Z

Add bitmap support to the device-mapper specific metadata area. This patch allows the creation of the bitmap metadata area upon initial array creation via device-mapper. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md/bitmap: fix saving of events_cleared and other state.

2011-05-11T04:26:30Z

If a bitmap is found to be 'stale' the events_cleared value is set to match 'events'. However if the array is degraded this does not get stored on disk. This can subsequently lead to incorrect behaviour. So change bitmap_update_sb to always update events_cleared in the superblock from the known events_cleared. For neatness also set ->state from ->flags. This requires updating ->state whenever we update ->flags, which makes sense anyway. This is suitable for any active -stable release. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

block: kill off REQ_UNPLUG

2011-03-10T07:52:27Z

With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
