Revision f8dfcffd0472a0f353f34a567ad3f53568914d04 authored by NeilBrown on 12 March 2013, 01:18:06 UTC, committed by NeilBrown on 20 March 2013, 02:20:59 UTC
A number of problems can occur due to races between
resync/recovery and discard.

- if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is
  happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event
  before all of the individual discard requests have completed
  (so some devices are still locked, but not all).
  Since commit ca64cae96037de16e4af92678814f5d4bf0c1c65
     md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished.
  this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device,
  so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other
  devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared.
  This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up.

- If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward
  time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks
  in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is
  one).

So:
 - keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have
   completed their discard request
 - make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at
   the same time.
   This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is
   happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a
   discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up
   the discard at the appropriate time.

Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for
any -stable kernel since 3.7.
