container_content retrieves volume information from disks in the
container. For unsupported volumes the function was not returning
mdinfo. When all volumes were unsupported the function was returning
NULL pointer to block actions on the volumes. Therefore, such volumes
were not activated in Incremental and Assembly. As side effect they
also could not be deleted using kill-subarray since "kill" function
requires to obtain a valid mdinfo from container_content.
This patch fixes the kill-subarray problem by allowing to obtain
mdinfo of all volumes types including unsupported and introducing new
array.status flags.
There are following changes:
1. Added MD_SB_BLOCK_VOLUME for blocking an array, other arrays in the
container can be activated.
2. Added MD_SB_BLOCK_CONTAINER_RESHAPE block container wide reshapes
(like changing disk numbers in arrays).
3. IMSM container_content handler is to load mdinfo for all volumes
and set both blocking flags in array.state field in mdinfo of
unsupported volumes. In case of some errors, all volumes can be
affected. Only blocked array is not activated (also reshaped as
result). The container wide reshapes are also blocked since by
metadata definition they require modifications of both arrays.
4. Incremental_container and Assemble functions check array.state and
do not activate volumes with blocking bits set.
5. assemble_container_content is changed to check container wide reshapes
before activating reshapes of assembled containers.
6. Grow_reshape and Grow_continue_command checks blocking bits
before starting reshapes or continueing (-G --continue) reshapes.
7. kill-subarray ignores array.state info and can remove requested array.

If you create a two drive raid1 array with one device writemostly, then
fail the readwrite drive, when you add a new device, it will get the
writemostly bit copied out of the remaining device's superblock into
it's own. You can then remove the new drive and readd it as readwrite,
which will work for the readd, but it leaves the stale WriteMostly1 bit
in devflags resulting in the device going back to writemostly on the
next assembly.
The fix is to make sure that A) when we readd a device and we might have
filled the st->sb info from a running device instead of the device being
readded, then clear/set the WriteMostly1 bit in the super1 struct in
addition to setting the disk state (ditto for super0, but slightly
different mechanism) and B) when adding a clean device to an array (when
we most certainly did copy the superblock info from an existing device),

do_default_chunk indicates that we need to find default chunk and

Subject: [PATCH] Dynamic hot-plug udev rules for policies
Cc: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, Williams, Dan J <dan.j.williams@intel.com>, Ciechanowski, Ed <ed.ciechanowski@intel.com>
When introducing policies, new hot-plug rules were added to support
bare disks. Mdadm was started for each hot plugged block device
to determine if it could be used as spare or as a replacement member for
degraded array.
This patch introduces limitation of range of devices that are handled
by mdadm.
It limits them to the ones specified in domains associated with
the actions: spare-same-port, spare and spare-force.
In order to enable hot-plug for bare disks one must update udev rules
with command
mdadm --activate-domains[=filename]
Above command writes udev rule configuration to stdout. If 'filename'
is given output is written to the file provided as parameter. It is up
to system administrator what should be done later. To make such rule
permanent (i.e. remain after reboot) rule should be writen to
/lib/udev/rules.d directory. Other cases will just need to write it to
/dev/.udev/rules.d directory where temporary rules lies. One should be
aware of the meaning of names/priorities of the udev rules.
After mdadm.conf is changed one is obliged to re-run
"mdadm --activate-domains" command in order to bring the system
configuration up to date.
All hot-plugged disks containing metadata are still handled by existing
rules.

During Online Capacity Expansion metadata has to be updated to show
array changes and allow for future assembly of array. To do this
mdadm prepares and sends reshape_update metadata update to mdmon.
The update contains the old and new number of raid disks, and the
indices of the spare disks that will be used to fill the spaces.
This works as follows:
1. reshape_super() prepares metadata update.
2. mdadm discovers the spares and adds them to the array
3. mdadm sends the update to mdmon
4. managemon in prepare_update() allocates required memory for bigger
device object
5. monitor in process_update() updates the metadata to record the
new sizes and the newly assigned devices.
6. mdadm initiates the reshape

In the native metadata case Grow_reshape() and the kernel validate what
reshapes are possible / supported and the kernel handles all the metadata
updates. In the external case the metadata format may have specific
constraints above this baseline. External formats also introduce the
constraint of only permitting some reshapes at container scope versus subarray
scope. For exmaple imsm changes to 'raiddisks' must be applied to all arrays
in the container.
This operation assumes that its 'st' parameter has been obtained from
super_by_fd() (such that st->subarray is up to date), and that a snapshot of
the metadata has been loaded from the container.
Why a new method, versus extending an existing one?
->validate_geometry: this routine assumes it is being called from Create(),
adding reshape complicates the cases that this routine needs to handle. Where
we find that checks can be shared between the two cases those routines
refactored into common code internal to the metadata handler, i.e. no need to

In order to support reshape and atomic removal of spares from containers
we need to prevent mdmon from activating spares. In the reshape case we
additionally need to freeze sync_action while the reshape transaction is
initiated with the kernel and recorded in the metadata.
When reshaping a raid0 array we need to freeze the array *before* it is
transitioned to a redundant raid level. Since sync_action does not exist
at this point we extend the '-' prefix of a subarray string to flag
mdmon not to activate spares.
Mdadm needs to be reasonably certain that the version of mdmon in the
system honors this 'freeze' indication. If mdmon is not already active
then we assume the version that gets started is the same as the mdadm
version. Otherwise, we check the version of mdmon as returned by the
extended ping_monitor() operation. This is to catch cases where mdadm
is upgraded in the filesystem, but mdmon started in the initramfs is
from a previous release.

If getinfo_super is called on a container supertype we only get information
on first disk. As a parameter it uses reference to preallocated

would require ammending all previous calls and subsequently freeing memory
allocated for mdinfo list.
Function container_content that returns a mdinfo list is written
specifically for assembly, performing actions not needed to just fill
mdinfo. It also does not include spares so is unsuitable.

When "mdadm -I" is given a device with no metadata, mdadm tries to add
it as a 'spare' somewhere based on policy.
This patch changes the behaviour in two ways:
1/ If the device is at a 'path' where a previous device was removed
from an array or container, then we preferentially add the spare to
that array or container.
2/ Previously only 'bare' devices were considered for adding as
spares. Now if action=spare-same-slot is active, we will add
non-bare devices, but *only* if the path was previously in use
for some array, and the device will only be added to that array.

We now have 3 directory definitions: mdmon directory for its pid and

passed in via command line at the time mdadm is invoked in monitor mode),
and the directory for the mdadm incremental assembly map file (compile
time define, not changable at run time). Only the mdadm map file still
hunts multiple locations, and the number of locations has been reduced
to /var/run and the compile time specified location. Re-use of similar
sounding defines that actually didn't denote their actual usage at
compile time made it more difficult for a person to know what affect
changing the compile time defines would have on the resulting programs.
This patch renames the various defines to clearly identify which item
the define affects. It also reduces the number of various directories
which will be searched for these files as this has lead to confusion
in mdadm and mdmon in terms of which files should take precedence when
files exist in multiple locations, etc. It's best if the person
compiling the program intentionally and with planning selects the
right directories to be used for the various purposes. Which directory
is right depends on which items you are talking about and what boot
loader your system uses and what initramfs generation program your
system uses. Because of the inter-dependency of all these items it
would typically be up to the distribution that mdadm is being integrated
into to select the correct values for these defines.

Support for deleting a subarray out of a container. When all subarrays
are deleted the component devices are converted back into spares, a
--zero-superblock is still needed to kill the remaining metadata at this
point. This operation is blocked when the subarray is active and may
also be blocked by the metadata handler when deleting the subarray might
change the uuid of other active subarrays. For example, with imsm,
deleting subarray 'n' may change the uuid of subarrays with indexes > n.
Deleting a subarray needs to be a container wide event to ensure
disks that record the modified subarray list perceive other disks that
did not receive this change as out of date.

The st->subarray parsing in super-intel.c and super-ddf.c is updated to

The family_number field can change. The option-rom will change the
family number when it starts a rebuild process (flags a container for
rebuild). This was not seen previously as mdadm would usually start the
rebuild process, preserving the family number.
This is the mechanism that helps to prevent a prodigal array member from
being returned to its original system and cause a rebuild to go in the
wrong direction. With the change we will end up with a container that
will fail to assemble unless the device with the incompatible family
number is left out of the assembly.
So, take several actions:
1/ Convert uuid generation to use orig_family_num, being careful to
preserve the existing uuid in the case where orig_family_num is not
set (i.e. previous mdadm created imsm arrays)
2/ Set orig_family_num at Create. For arrays created by mdadm prior to
this release orig_family_num will be zero, so set it to family_num at
the first metadata write.
3/ Add checks for orig_family_num to compare_super_imsm
4/ Update the family number when initiating rebuild
