dm: fix truncated status strings

2013-03-20T15:03:20Z

commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream. Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm raid: fix flush support

2012-03-12T19:31:50Z

commit 0ca93de9b789e0eb05e103f0c04de72df13da73a upstream. Fix dm-raid flush support. Both md and dm have support for flush, but the dm-raid target forgot to set the flag to indicate that flushes should be passed on. (Important for data integrity e.g. with writeback cache enabled.)

dm raid: set MD_CHANGE_DEVS when rebuilding

2012-03-12T19:31:50Z

commit 3aa3b2b2b1edb813dc5342d0108befc39541542d upstream. The 'rebuild' parameter is used to rebuild individual devices in an array (e.g. resynchronize a RAID1 device or recalculate a parity device in higher RAID). The MD_CHANGE_DEVS flag must be set when this parameter is given in order to write out the superblocks and make the change take immediate effect. The code that handles new devices in super_load already sets MD_CHANGE_DEVS and 'FirstUse'. (The 'FirstUse' flag was being set as a special case for rebuilds in super_init_validation.) Add a condition for rebuilds in super_load to take care of both flags without the special case in 'super_init_validation'.

md: Add module.h to all files using it implicitly

A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly everywhere anymore. Make sure the modular drivers in md dir are actually calling out for explicitly in advance. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

dm: raid fix device status indicator when array initializing

2011-10-31T20:21:26Z

When devices in a RAID array are not in-sync, they are supposed to be reported as such in the status output as an 'a' character, which means "alive, but not in-sync". But when the entire array is rebuilt 'A' is being used, which is incorrect. This patch corrects this to 'a'. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon
