2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams commit c8894419acf5e56851de9741c5047bebd78acd1f upstream Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 14:02:12 -0700 Subject: [patch 37/37] md: fix raid5 'repair' operations commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair' operations. After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits tracking this operation. However, they are cleared too early and this results in the code deciding to re-run the parity check operation. Since we have done the repair in memory the second check does not find a mismatch and thus does not do a writeback. Test results: $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 51072 $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 0 (also fix incorrect indentation) Tested-by: George Spelvin Acked-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/md/raid5.c | 25 +++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/md/raid5.c +++ b/drivers/md/raid5.c @@ -2354,8 +2354,8 @@ static void handle_parity_checks5(raid5_ /* complete a check operation */ if (test_and_clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_CHECK, &sh->ops.complete)) { - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_CHECK, &sh->ops.ack); - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_CHECK, &sh->ops.pending); + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_CHECK, &sh->ops.ack); + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_CHECK, &sh->ops.pending); if (s->failed == 0) { if (sh->ops.zero_sum_result == 0) /* parity is correct (on disc, @@ -2385,16 +2385,6 @@ static void handle_parity_checks5(raid5_ canceled_check = 1; /* STRIPE_INSYNC is not set */ } - /* check if we can clear a parity disk reconstruct */ - if (test_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.complete) && - test_bit(STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD, &sh->ops.pending)) { - - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD, &sh->ops.pending); - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.complete); - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.ack); - clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.pending); - } - /* start a new check operation if there are no failures, the stripe is * not insync, and a repair is not in flight */ @@ -2409,6 +2399,17 @@ static void handle_parity_checks5(raid5_ } } + /* check if we can clear a parity disk reconstruct */ + if (test_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.complete) && + test_bit(STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD, &sh->ops.pending)) { + + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD, &sh->ops.pending); + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.complete); + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.ack); + clear_bit(STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK, &sh->ops.pending); + } + + /* Wait for check parity and compute block operations to complete * before write-back.
