As backup file has a timestamp which is updated quite separately
from the metadata timestamp. They should be largely in-sync but
sometimes are not.
So be more generous in the check, and allow it to be over-ridden
by an environment variable.

If a bitmap exists on an array, then current kernels cannot grow
that array.
So when we try to grow an array, test for EBUSY and if a bitmap is
present, report that the bitmap needs to be removed.

These were never supposed to be released, and due
to a type issue they cause compile problems on

As array.size is 32bit we need to prefer the 'component_size'
read from sysfs when that is available.
Grow wasn't always suitably careful.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
array.size is only 32bit so it is not safe to multiply it
up before casting to (long long).
Actually, we shouldn't be using array.size here at all, but that
will get fixed in a subsequent patch.

A change the reduces the size of an array always happens
before any other change. So it can cause data to be lost.
By themselves these changes are reversible. But once another
change has started, the data would be permanently lost.
So recommend data integrity be checked between a size change
and any other change.

2.6.31 has a bug which can lead to unsafe reshaping.
So only allow a reshape with 2.6.32.
When the required fixed get into 2.6.31.y, this can be relaxed
slightly

We were using ->component_size while it hadn't been set.
This effectively meant that 'blocks' wasn't multiplied by
16 and reshape was even slower than it should have been.

If an array goes degraded during reshape, we need to
adjust the devices we read from so as not to back up
stale data.

The 'arraystart' is in sectors while restore_stripes requires
bytes, so we need a conversion.
Without this, backups get restored to the wrong offset.

Originally the backup-metadata was only written once at the
start of a raid5 reshape that made the array bigger. So we only
set the mtime once.
Now that we can be writing metadata continually during an in-place
reshape, we need to update the mtime more often.
Also, allow the metadata mtime to be slightly in advance of the
array mtime. Normally the difference will be less than a second,
so 10 minutes should be plenty. This guards against an old backup
file being used to restart an array. but starting two reshapes in the
10 minutes is sufficiently unlikely, and the possibility of an
accident is already sufficiently small, that 10 minutes is probably
fine.
Thanks to Guy Martin <gmsoft@tuxicoman.be> for discovering and
reporting that .mtime wasn't being updated properly.

FIXME this is wrong . what direction does reshape_position move?
If the device count in an array is shrinking, the critical
region is different so the tests need to be different when
restarting.

On small (test) arrays, multiplying by 16 can make the 'chunk' size
larger than half the array, which is a problem.

The last time wait_backup is called, it might see reshape
finish and so return an error indicator.
But this is not an error, and we must go ahead and prepare
the array for full access.

1/ allow --size to be given with 'G' or 'T' suffix.
2/ allow size to exceed 32bits, and in that case write through sysfs.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
This allows the layout to be parsed after the current level of the
array is know, so that the level doesn't need to be given (otherwise
pointlessly) on the command line.

For short reshapes the kernel may be done before mdadm can check that
progress has passed the critical section.
Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
If an array reshape completed within 1 second, then --grow will not
notice that it has finished and will keep waiting for the critical
section to pass.
So be more cautious in the test.

Since we introduced O_DIRECT for device access we need
properly aligned buffers and IO requests. The reshape code
missed out on the conversion.

Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
Using buffered IO risks non-atomic updates to parts of the
device that we don't actually want to write to. This isn't in
general safe.
So switch to O_DIRECT for all that IO and make sure we have
properly aligned buffers.
The last release broke the ability to assemble an array that
was in the middle of a reshape.
This patch adds code to test if the critical section needs
to be restored or not so that - if we have failed to restore it,
we know whether to fail or not.
Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region
of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the
reshape, it gives an error message.
The new superblock needs to have a new disk.number. This is a bit of a hack...
Fix handling of negative bitmap offsets on 64bit hosts.
The bitmap offset is a signed 32bit number, so casting to (long)
isn't sufficient. We must cast to (int32_t).
Fix various problems with --grow --add for linear.
The code to add a drive to a live linear array had never
been tested properly and so was buggy. This tidies it up
and means that the new regression-test passes.
