2026-08-07md: skip discard on unsupported member devicesWale Zhang
blk_stack_limits() uses min_not_zero() when stacking discard limits. Thus an array containing devices with different discard capabilities can expose discard support as long as at least one member has a non-zero discard limit. raid0 and raid10 use md_submit_discard_bio() to submit a discard bio to each member covered by the request. The helper currently also submits bios to members whose max_discard_sectors is zero. The block layer completes these bios with BLK_STS_NOTSUPP, and bio chaining propagates that status to the original discard request. Discard is optional, so skip members which do not support it. Members that do support discard continue to receive their portion of the request.

2026-08-07md: add cond_resched() to md_do_sync()'s skip pathYunye Zhao
When sync_request() reports a skipped region (*skipped == 1), md_do_sync()'s main loop advances the cursor and takes an early continue: j += sectors; ... if (last_check + window > io_sectors || j == max_sectors) continue; If the personality returns a small span per call (raid10 recovery returns only 128 sectors), syncing a large, mostly clean array iterates this branch an enormous number of times without ever yielding the CPU. On a non-preemptive kernel the resync thread then trips the soft-lockup watchdog: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#149 stuck for 313s!

2026-08-07md/md-llbitmap: add reshape range mapping helpersYu Kuai
Teach llbitmap to choose old versus new geometry during reshape and to encode exact bitmap ranges for the active geometry. This is the mapping groundwork for checkpoint remapping. Range preparation now distinguishes writes from discards. Normal writes must cover every touched bitmap chunk, while discards may only mark fully covered chunks unwritten. Without this distinction, a discard that starts or ends inside a chunk can make live data look unwritten after the range has been mapped and floored. Reproduce that with a RAID1 llbitmap using 128-sector chunks. A discard starting halfway into chunk 8 with a 128-sector length changed clean bits from 16352 to 16350 and unwritten bits from 0 to 2, even though no chunk was fully discarded. With discard-specific range encoding, both counts stay unchanged for the same test. Range preparation also clamps the pre-map range in the same coordinate space as the incoming IO. RAID5 receives array-sector offsets but tracks llbitmap sync size in component sectors, so steady-state RAID5 must use bitmap_array_sectors() before mapping and keep the existing sync-size clamp after mapping. Reproduce that with a 4-disk RAID5 llbitmap created --assume-clean. A write below dev_sectors changed dirty bits from 0 to 512, but a write at seek=2094080 left the count at 512. With the array-sector pre-map limit, writing at seek=component_size + 65536 increased dirty bits from 512 to 1024.

2026-08-07md: add helper to split bios at reshape offsetYu Kuai
Add mddev_bio_split_at_reshape_offset() so personalities can share reshape-offset bio splitting instead of open-coding the same boundary handling in multiple places. The helper first applies the optional max_sectors limit. If reshape is running and the bio crosses reshape_position, it further limits the front bio to the current reshape boundary so callers can account and submit one side of the reshape at a time. Snapshot reshape_position with READ_ONCE(). RAID5 and RAID10 update this field as reshape progresses, while the I/O path only needs one consistent decision point for the current bio. Using an explicit single load avoids a plain lockless access and prevents the compiler from refetching a different boundary while deciding whether and where to split. When a split is needed, bio_submit_split_bioset() submits the remainder and returns the front bio. Callers must therefore continue processing the returned bio, not the original pointer.

2026-08-07md: skip bitmap accounting for empty write rangesYu Kuai
mkfs.ext4 can submit zero-sector flush/FUA bios. These bios are WRITE bios for md_write_start() purposes, but they do not cover any data sector and must not dirty bitmap bits. md bitmap accounting currently passes such bios to bitmap start_write(). For llbitmap this reaches llbitmap_start_write() with sectors == 0, which underflows the end chunk calculation. Personality bitmap mapping can also turn a non-empty bio into an empty bitmap range when the requested sectors are outside the active bitmap geometry. Treat both cases as not started, so the completion path will not call end_write() for an empty range.

2026-08-07md: avoid stale clone I/O accounting timestampsYu Kuai
md_clone_bio() always allocates the clone from mddev->io_clone_set, even when queue I/O stats are disabled. In that case it does not call bio_start_io_acct(), but it also left md_io_clone->start_time untouched. The clone private data comes from a mempool and can contain data from a previous user. md_end_clone_io() checks start_time to decide whether it needs to call bio_end_io_acct(), so a stale non-zero value can make the completion path end accounting that was never started for this bio. Set start_time to 0 in the no-stats branch. This keeps the end path tied to whether bio_start_io_acct() actually ran.

2026-08-07md: wait for behind writes before destroying bitmapYu Kuai
__md_stop() destroyed the bitmap before calling mddev_detach(). That made mddev_detach() skip bitmap_ops->wait_behind_writes(), because the bitmap was already disconnected from mddev. This was still safe for the legacy bitmap because bitmap_destroy() waits for behind writes itself. llbitmap keeps that wait in its ->wait_behind_writes() operation instead, while ->destroy() tears down the llbitmap storage. With the old ordering, RAID1 behind-write completions could still run after llbitmap storage had been freed. Call mddev_detach() before md_bitmap_destroy() so the common detach path can wait for behind writes while the bitmap is still alive. Only destroy the bitmap after those users are gone.

2026-07-31md: do overflow check for sb->bblog_shift in super_1_load()Coly Li
In super_1_load(), sb->bblog_shift is an __u8 type value loaded from on- disk superblock. It is used for badblocks API badblocks_set() by the following sequence, 1930 rdev->badblocks.shift = sb->bblog_shift; 1931 for (i = 0 ; i < (sectors << (9-3)) ; i++, bbp++) { 1932 u64 bb = le64_to_cpu(*bbp); 1933 int count = bb & (0x3ff); 1934 u64 sector = bb >> 10; 1935 sector <<= sb->bblog_shift; 1936 count <<= sb->bblog_shift; 1937 if (bb + 1 == 0) 1938 break; 1939 if (!badblocks_set(&rdev->badblocks, sector, count, 1)) 1940 return -EINVAL; 1941 } bb->bblog_shit is in range of 0-255, variable sector is 64bit width, for an invalid bb->bblog_shit, it is possible to make sector be overflowed by the following calculation, 1935 sector <<= sb->bblog_shift; Then in turn when call badblocks_set() at line 1939 with the invalid rdev->badblocks.shift set at line 1930, may result an overflow inside _badblocks_clear() in block/badblocks.c. Although there are many places to call badblocks APIs, the non-zero shift value is only used in super_1_load(), other places always use 0 as the shift value. Therefore it is unnecessary to do a general shift value overflow check inside badblock API, and just check here as the caller. This may avoid unnecessary check, make the badblocks API code more simple and elegant.

2026-07-31md: scope memalloc_noio to allocation critical sectionsChen Cheng
Storing a memalloc_noio_save() token in mddev->noio_flags lets one task save the token and another task restore it. With concurrent suspend sysfs writes, task A can enter PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO, return to userspace still in that scope, and later task B can restore A's saved token. Avoid tying the token lifetime to mddev. Keep mddev_suspend() and mddev_resume() only responsible for array suspension, and enter PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO only in the MD paths that allocate memory after the array has been suspended. Restore the token before resuming the array. A reproducer repeatedly writes suspend_lo and suspend_hi from concurrent workers and checks each worker's /proc/self/stat flags before and after the sysfs write.

2026-07-31md: widen badblock sectors param from int to sector_tHiroshi Nishida
The badblocks core API -- badblocks_set(), badblocks_clear() and badblocks_check() -- and the is_badblock() helper all take the range length as sector_t. The md wrappers rdev_set_badblocks(), rdev_clear_badblocks() and rdev_has_badblock(), however, declared the same length as int, narrowing sector_t to int and back again in the middle of an otherwise 64-bit clean path. Change the sectors parameter to sector_t in these three wrappers so it matches the core API and is_badblock(). No functional change: current callers pass per-I/O or per-resync-chunk lengths well within int range. This just removes a gratuitous truncation point and keeps the type consistent end to end.

2026-07-30md: recheck spare changes before starting syncAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
remove_spares() and remove_and_add_spares() modify the array's rdev configuration. These operations are only safe after the array has been suspended. md_start_sync() checks whether spare configuration changes are needed before taking reconfig_mutex. However, the rdev state can change before the mutex is acquired, so the initial check can become stale. In that case, md_choose_sync_action() may remove or replace rdevs while normal I/O is still accessing them. The race can occur as follows: raid10d Worker Normal IO ____________ _______________________ ______________________ raid10_write_request() wait_blocked_dev() set Blocked set Faulty Skip Faulty rdev rrdev->nr_pending++ .repl_bio = bio removeable_rdev = false . array not suspended . lock mddev goto err_handle lock mddev (wait) . update sb . clear Blocked . . unlock mddev . lock mddev (acquires) remove_spares() removeable_rdev = true raid10_remove_disk() rdev = replacement replacement = NULL rdev_dec_pending(NULL) unlock mddev (NULL)->nr_pending-- In this case, rdev_dec_pending() is called with a NULL pointer, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting to decrement nr_pending. Fix this by suspending the array when spare configuration changes are needed, including for non-read-write arrays, and checking again after taking reconfig_mutex. If the array was not already suspended and a change is now needed, release the mutex, suspend the array, and reacquire the mutex before continuing.

2026-07-30md: remove REQ_NOWAIT support from raid1/10/456Abd-Alrhman Masalkhi
REQ_NOWAIT support in md personalities that can block internally is fundamentally incomplete. While reads can avoid some blocking paths, write requests can still encounter cases where one mirror succeeds while another returns -EAGAIN. At that point md cannot distinguish queue pressure from a real device failure, so it can neither record a bad block nor safely retry the write without REQ_NOWAIT, leaving mirrors with divergent data. Rather than continue advertising REQ_NOWAIT support for personalities that cannot implement it correctly, remove it from raid1, raid10 and raid456. Keep REQ_NOWAIT for linear and raid0, which only remap bios to their underlying devices; stacked limits will still clear the feature if any component device lacks REQ_NOWAIT support.

2026-04-28md/raid5: Fix UAF on IO across the reshape positionBenjamin Marzinski
If make_stripe_request() returns STRIPE_WAIT_RESHAPE, raid5_make_request() will free the cloned bio. But raid5_make_request() can call make_stripe_request() multiple times, writing to the various stripes. If that bio got added to the toread or towrite lists of a stripe disk in an earlier call to make_stripe_request(), then it's not safe to just free the bio if a later part of it is found to cross the reshape position. Doing so can lead to a UAF error, when bio_endio() is called on the bio for the earlier stripes. Instead, raid5_make_request() needs to wait until all parts of the bio have called bio_endio(). To do this, bios that cross the reshape position while the reshape can't make progress are flagged as needing to wait for all parts to complete. When raid5_make_request() has a bio that failed make_stripe_request() with STRIPE_WAIT_RESHAPE, it sets bi->bi_private to a completion struct and waits for completion after ending the bio. When the bio_endio() is called for the last time on a clone bio with bi->bi_private set, it wakes up the waiter. This guarantees that raid5_make_request() doesn't return until the cloned bio needing a retry for io across the reshape boundary is safely cleaned up. There is a simple reproducer available at [1]. Compile the kernel with KASAN for more useful reporting when the error is triggered (this is not necessary to see the bug).

2026-04-07md: wake raid456 reshape waiters before suspendYu Kuai
During raid456 reshape, direct IO across the reshape position can sleep in raid5_make_request() waiting for reshape progress while still holding an active_io reference. If userspace then freezes reshape and writes md/suspend_lo or md/suspend_hi, mddev_suspend() kills active_io and waits for all in-flight IO to drain. This can deadlock: the IO needs reshape progress to continue, but the reshape thread is already frozen, so the active_io reference is never dropped and suspend never completes. raid5_prepare_suspend() already wakes wait_for_reshape for dm-raid.

2026-04-07md/raid1: serialize overlap io for writemostly diskXiao Ni
Previously, using wait_event() would wake up all waiters simultaneously, and they would compete for the tree lock. The bio which gets the lock first will be handled, so the write sequence cannot be guaranteed. For example: bio1(100,200) bio2(150,200) bio3(150,300) The write sequence of fast device is bio1,bio2,bio3. But the write sequence of slow device could be bio1,bio3,bio2 due to lock competition. This causes data corruption. Replace waitqueue with a fifo list to guarantee the write sequence. And it also needs to iterate the list when removing one entry. If not, it may miss the opportunity to wake up the waiting io. For example: bio1(1,3), bio2(2,4) bio3(5,7), bio4(6,8) These four bios are in the same bucket. bio1 and bio3 are inserted into the rbtree. bio2 and bio4 are added to the waiting list and bio2 is the first one. bio3 returns from slow disk and tries to wake up the waiting bios. bio2 is removed from the list and will be handled. But bio1 hasn't finished. So bio2 will be added into waiting list again. Then bio1 returns from slow disk and wakes up waiting bios. bio4 is removed from the list and will be handled. Now bio1, bio3 and bio4 all finish and bio2 is left on the waiting list. So it needs to iterate the waiting list to wake up the right bio.

2026-04-06md: fix array_state=clear sysfs deadlockYu Kuai
When "clear" is written to array_state, md_attr_store() breaks sysfs active protection so the array can delete itself from its own sysfs store method. However, md_attr_store() currently drops the mddev reference before calling sysfs_unbreak_active_protection(). Once do_md_stop(..., 0) has made the mddev eligible for delayed deletion, the temporary kobject reference taken by sysfs_break_active_protection() can become the last kobject reference protecting the md kobject. That allows sysfs_unbreak_active_protection() to drop the last kobject reference from the current sysfs writer context. kobject teardown then recurses into kernfs removal while the current sysfs node is still being unwound, and lockdep reports recursive locking on kn->active with kernfs_drain() in the call chain. Reproducer on an existing level: 1. Create an md0 linear array and activate it: mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0 echo none > /sys/block/md0/md/metadata_version echo linear > /sys/block/md0/md/level echo 1 > /sys/block/md0/md/raid_disks echo "$(cat /sys/class/block/sdb/dev)" > /sys/block/md0/md/new_dev echo "$(($(cat /sys/class/block/sdb/size) / 2))" > \ /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdb/size echo 0 > /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdb/slot echo active > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state 2.

2026-01-26md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raidHeinz Mauelshagen
When using device-mapper's dm-raid target, stopping a RAID array can cause the system to hang under specific conditions. This occurs when: - A dm-raid managed device tree is suspended from top to bottom (the top-level RAID device is suspended first, followed by its underlying metadata and data devices) - The top-level RAID device is then removed Removing the top-level device triggers a hang in the following sequence: the dm-raid destructor calls md_stop(), which tries to flush the write-intent bitmap by writing to the metadata sub-devices. However, these devices are already suspended, making them unable to complete the write-intent operations and causing an indefinite block. Fix: - Prevent bitmap flushing when md_stop() is called from dm-raid destructor context and avoid a quiescing/unquescing cycle which could also cause I/O - Still allow write-intent bitmap flushing when called from dm-raid suspend context This ensures that RAID array teardown can complete successfully even when the underlying devices are in a suspended state. This second patch uses md_is_rdwr() to distinguish between suspend and destructor paths as elaborated on above.

An error sync IO may be done and sub 'recovery_active' while its error handling work is pending. This work sets 'recovery_disabled' and MD_RECOVERY_INTR, then later removes the bad disk without Faulty flag. If 'curr_resync_completed' is updated before the disk is removed, it could lead to reading from sync-failed regions. With the previous patch, error IO will set badblocks or mark rdev as Faulty, sync-failed regions are no longer readable. After waiting for 'recovery_active' to reach 0 (in the previous line), all sync IO has *completed*, regardless of whether MD_RECOVERY_INTR is set. Thus, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR check can be removed.

2026-01-26md: mark rdev Faulty when badblocks setting failsLi Nan
Currently when sync read fails and badblocks set fails (exceeding 512 limit), rdev isn't immediately marked Faulty. Instead 'recovery_disabled' is set and non-In_sync rdevs are removed later. This preserves array availability if bad regions aren't read, but bad sectors might be read by users before rdev removal. This occurs due to incorrect resync/recovery_offset updates that include these bad sectors. When badblocks exceed 512, keeping the disk provides little benefit while adding complexity. Prompt disk replacement is more important. Therefore when badblocks set fails, directly call md_error to mark rdev Faulty immediately, preventing potential data access issues. After this change, cleanup of offset update logic and 'recovery_disabled' handling will follow.
