Redundant data is used to enhance data fault tolerance, and the storage
method for redundant data vary depending on the RAID levels. And it's
important to maintain the consistency of redundant data.
Bitmap is used to record which data blocks have been synchronized and which
ones need to be resynchronized or recovered. Each bit in the bitmap
represents a segment of data in the array. When a bit is set, it indicates
that the multiple redundant copies of that data segment may not be
consistent. Data synchronization can be performed based on the bitmap after
power failure or readding a disk. If there is no bitmap, a full disk
synchronization is required.
Due to known performance issues with md-bitmap and the unreasonable
implementations:
- self-managed IO submitting like filemap_write_page();
- global spin_lock
I have decided not to continue optimizing based on the current bitmap
implementation, this new bitmap is invented without locking from IO fast
path and can be used with fast disks.
For designs and details, see the comments in drivers/md-llbitmap.c.

daemon_work() will be called by daemon thread, on the one hand, daemon
thread doesn't have strict wake-up time; on the other hand, too much
work are put to daemon thread, like handle sync IO, handle failed

may be too busy to clear dirty bits in time.
Make bitmap_ops->daemon_work() optional and following patches will use
separate async work to clear dirty bits for the new bitmap.

During raid resync, if a disk becomes faulty, the operation is

commit 9e59d60976 ("md: call del_gendisk in control path") changes the
async way to sync way of calling del_gendisk. But it breaks mdadm
--assemble command. The assemble command runs like this:
1. create the array
2. stop the array
3. access the sysfs files after stopping
The sync way calls del_gendisk in step 2, so all sysfs files are removed.
Now to avoid breaking mdadm assemble command, this patch adds the parameter
legacy_async_del_gendisk that can be used to choose which way. The default
is async way. In future, we plan to change default to sync way in kernel
7.0. Then users need to upgrade to mdadm 4.5+ which removes step 2.

Commit a1fd37f978 ("md: Don't wait for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED for
HOT_REMOVE_DISK ioctl") introduced a regression in the md_cluster
module. (Failed cases 02r1_Manage_re-add & 02r10_Manage_re-add)
Consider a 2-node cluster:
- node1 set faulty & remove command on a disk.
- node2 must correctly update the array metadata.
Before a1fd37f978, on node1, the delay between msg:METADATA_UPDATED
(triggered by faulty) and msg:REMOVE was sufficient for node2 to
reload the disk info (written by node1).
After a1fd37f978, node1 no longer waits between faulty and remove,
causing it to send msg:REMOVE while node2 is still reloading disk info.
This often results in node2 failing to remove the faulty disk.
== how to trigger ==
set up a 2-node cluster (node1 & node2) with disks vdc & vdd.
on node1:
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -b clustered -n2 /dev/vdc /dev/vdd --assume-clean
ssh node2-ip mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/vdc /dev/vdd
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/vdc --remove /dev/vdc
check array status on both nodes with "mdadm -D /dev/md0".

setting MD_DELETED from __mddev_put() to do_md_stop(), however, for the
case create on open, mddev can be freed without do_md_stop():
1) open
md_probe
md_alloc_and_put
md_alloc
mddev_alloc
atomic_set(&mddev->active, 1);
mddev->hold_active = UNTIL_IOCTL
mddev_put
atomic_dec_and_test(&mddev->active)
if (mddev->hold_active)
-> active is 0, hold_active is set
md_open
mddev_get
atomic_inc(&mddev->active);
2) ioctl that is not STOP_ARRAY, for example, GET_ARRAY_INFO:
md_ioctl
mddev->hold_active = 0
3) close
md_release
mddev_put(mddev);
atomic_dec_and_lock(&mddev->active, &all_mddevs_lock)
__mddev_put
-> hold_active is cleared, mddev will be freed
queue_work(md_misc_wq, &mddev->del_work)
Now that MD_DELETED is not set, before mddev is freed by
mddev_delayed_delete(), md_open can still succeed and break mddev
lifetime, causing mddev->kobj refcount underflow or mddev uaf
problem.
Fix this problem by setting MD_DELETED before queuing del_work.

Now del_gendisk and put_disk are called asynchronously in workqueue work.
The asynchronous way has a problem that the device node can still exist
after mdadm --stop command returns in a short window. So udev rule can
open this device node and create the struct mddev in kernel again. So put
del_gendisk in control path and still leave put_disk in md_kobj_release
to avoid uaf of gendisk.
Function del_gendisk can't be called with reconfig_mutex. If it's called
with reconfig mutex, a deadlock can happen. del_gendisk waits all sysfs
files access to finish and sysfs file access waits reconfig mutex. So
put del_gendisk after releasing reconfig mutex.
But there is still a window that sysfs can be accessed between mddev_unlock
and del_gendisk. So some actions (add disk, change level, .e.g) can happen
which lead unexpected results. MD_DELETED is used to resolve this problem.
MD_DELETED is set before releasing reconfig mutex and it should be checked
for these sysfs access which need reconfig mutex. For sysfs access which
don't need reconfig mutex, del_gendisk will wait them to finish.
But it doesn't need to do this in function mddev_lock_nointr. There are
ten places that call it.
* Five of them are in dm raid which we don't need to care. MD_DELETED is
only used for md raid.
* stop_sync_thread, md_do_sync and md_start_sync are related sync request,
and it needs to wait sync thread to finish before stopping an array.
* md_ioctl: md_open is called before md_ioctl, so ->openers is added. It
will fail to stop the array. So it doesn't need to check MD_DELETED here
* md_set_readonly:
It needs to call mddev_set_closing_and_sync_blockdev when setting readonly
or read_auto. So it will fail to stop the array too because MD_CLOSING is
already set.

If sync_speed is above speed_min, then is_mddev_idle() will be called
for each sync IO to check if the array is idle, and inflight sync_io
will be limited if the array is not idle.
However, while mkfs.ext4 for a large raid5 array while recovery is in
progress, it's found that sync_speed is already above speed_min while
lots of stripes are used for sync IO, causing long delay for mkfs.ext4.
Root cause is the following checking from is_mddev_idle():
t1: submit sync IO: events1 = completed IO - issued sync IO
t2: submit next sync IO: events2 = completed IO - issued sync IO
if (events2 - events1 > 64)
For consequence, the more sync IO issued, the less likely checking will
pass. And when completed normal IO is more than issued sync IO, the
condition will finally pass and is_mddev_idle() will return false,
however, last_events will be updated hence is_mddev_idle() can only
return false once in a while.
Fix this problem by changing the checking as following:
1) mddev doesn't have normal IO completed;
2) mddev doesn't have normal IO inflight;
3) if any member disks is partition, and all other partitions doesn't
have IO completed.
Also change rdev->last_events to unsigned long to cleanup type casting.

rdev_set_badblocks() only indicates success/failure, so convert its return
type from int to boolean for better semantic clarity.
rdev_clear_badblocks() return value is never used by any caller, convert it
to void. This removes unnecessary value returns.
Also update narrow_write_error() in both raid1 and raid10 to use boolean
return type to match rdev_set_badblocks().

Change the return type of badblocks_set() and badblocks_clear()
from int to bool, indicating success or failure. Specifically:
- _badblocks_set() and _badblocks_clear() functions now return
true for success and false for failure.
- All calls to these functions are updated to handle the new
boolean return type.
- This change improves code clarity and ensures a more consistent
handling of success and failure states.

While iterating all_mddevs list from md_notify_reboot() and md_exit(),
list_for_each_entry_safe is used, and this can race with deletint the
next mddev, causing UAF:
t1:
spin_lock
//list_for_each_entry_safe(mddev, n, ...)
mddev_get(mddev1)
// assume mddev2 is the next entry
spin_unlock
t2:
//remove mddev2
...
mddev_free
spin_lock
list_del
spin_unlock
kfree(mddev2)
mddev_put(mddev1)
spin_lock
//continue dereference mddev2->all_mddevs
The old helper for_each_mddev() actually grab the reference of mddev2
while holding the lock, to prevent from being freed. This problem can be
fixed the same way, however, the code will be complex.
Hence switch to use list_for_each_entry, in this case mddev_put() can free
the mddev1 and it's not safe as well. Refer to md_seq_show(), also factor
out a helper mddev_put_locked() to fix this problem.

Many of the fields in struct bio_integrity_payload are only needed for
the default integrity buffer in the block layer, and the variable
sized array at the end of the structure makes it very hard to embed
into caller allocated structures.
Reduce struct bio_integrity_payload to the minimal structure needed in
common code and create two separate containing structures for the
automatically generated payload and the caller allocated payload.
The latter is a simple wrapper for struct bio_integrity_payload and
the bvecs, while the former contains the additional fields moved out
of struct bio_integrity_payload.
Always use a dedicated mempool for automatic integrity metadata
instead of depending on bio_set that is submitter controlled and thus
often doesn't have the mempool initialized and stop using mempools for
the submitter buffers as they aren't in the NOIO I/O submission path
where we need to guarantee forward progress.

watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,

registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of

Root cause is that bitmap_get_stats() can be called at anytime if mddev
is still there, even if bitmap is destroyed, or not fully initialized.
Deferenceing bitmap in this case can crash the kernel. Meanwhile, the
above commit start to deferencing bitmap->storage, make the problem
easier to trigger.
Fix the problem by protecting bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap_info.mutex.

There are two BUG reports that raid5 will hang at
bitmap_startwrite([1],[2]), root cause is that bitmap start write and end
write is unbalanced, it's not quite clear where, and while reviewing raid5
code, it's found that bitmap operations can be optimized. For example,
for a 4 disks raid5, with chunksize=8k, if user issue a IO (0 + 48k) to
the array:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│chunk 0 │
│ ┌────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬────────────┼
│ sh0 │A0: 0 + 4k │A1: 8k + 4k │A2: 16k + 4k │A3: P │
│ ┼────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼────────────┼
│ sh1 │B0: 4k + 4k │B1: 12k + 4k │B2: 20k + 4k │B3: P │
┼──────┴────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴────────────┼
│chunk 1 │
│ ┌────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬────────────┤
│ sh2 │C0: 24k + 4k│C1: 32k + 4k │C2: P │C3: 40k + 4k│
│ ┼────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼────────────┼
│ sh3 │D0: 28k + 4k│D1: 36k + 4k │D2: P │D3: 44k + 4k│
└──────┴────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴────────────┘
Before this patch, 4 stripe head will be used, and each sh will attach
bio for 3 disks, and each attached bio will trigger
bitmap_startwrite() once, which means total 12 times.
- 3 times (0 + 4k), for (A0, A1 and A2)
- 3 times (4 + 4k), for (B0, B1 and B2)
- 3 times (8 + 4k), for (C0, C1 and C3)
- 3 times (12 + 4k), for (D0, D1 and D3)
After this patch, md upper layer will calculate that IO range (0 + 48k)
is corresponding to the bitmap (0 + 16k), and call bitmap_startwrite()
just once.
Noted that this patch will align bitmap ranges to the chunks, for example,
if user issue a IO (0 + 4k) to array:
- Before this patch, 1 time (0 + 4k), for A0;
- After this patch, 1 time (0 + 8k) for chunk 0;
Usually, one bitmap bit will represent more than one disk chunk, and this
doesn't have any difference. And even if user really created a array
that one chunk contain multiple bits, the overhead is that more data
will be recovered after power failure.
Also remove STRIPE_BITMAP_PENDING since it's not used anymore.

THe md-linear is removed by commit 849d18e27b ("md: Remove deprecated
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR") because it has been marked as deprecated for a long
time.
However, md-linear is used widely for underlying disks with different size,
sadly we didn't know this until now, and it's true useful to create
partitions and assemble multiple raid and then append one to the other.
People have to use dm-linear in this case now, however, they will prefer
to minimize the number of involved modules.
