2026-08-07md/raid1: don't set array_frozen in raid1_takeover()Bruce Johnston
raid1_takeover() sets conf->array_frozen = 1 on the newly-allocated r1conf and nothing ever clears it, so every I/O to the array stalls permanently once _wait_barrier() sees it stuck at 1. This used to be harmless: level_store() called mddev_resume() right after pers->run(), which called raid1_quiesce(mddev, 0) and cleared array_frozen back to 0 regardless of what raid1_takeover() set. Commit b39f35ebe86d ("md: don't quiesce in mddev_suspend()") removed that quiesce(mddev, 0) call, so the pre-set now sticks. setup_conf() already zero-initializes the new r1conf via kzalloc, so just don't set array_frozen here. Same class of bug as commit 892da88d1cd9 ("md/raid10: fix a 'conf->barrier' leakage in raid10_takeover()"), also triggered by b39f35ebe86d.

2026-07-30md/raid1: restrict atomic write limits and handle runtime constraintsAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
Restrict the RAID1 atomic write limits by setting chunk_sectors to BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE so that atomic writes never straddle a barrier unit. A bio that passes block-layer validation may still become unserviceable within RAID1 due to bad blocks or write-behind constraints. In the former case, complete the bio with EIO. In the latter case, disable write-behind rather than failing the bio with EIO.

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.

When a read is retried, raid1_read_request() may be called with a pre-allocated r1_bio. If wait_read_barrier() fails for a REQ_NOWAIT read, the bio is completed and the function returns immediately.

2026-06-21md/raid1: honor REQ_NOWAIT when waiting for behind writesAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
raid1 supports REQ_NOWAIT reads by avoiding waits in the barrier path through wait_read_barrier(). However, a read can still block on a WriteMostly device when the array uses a bitmap and there are outstanding behind writes. In that case raid1 unconditionally calls wait_behind_writes(), which may sleep until all behind writes complete. As a result, a REQ_NOWAIT read can block despite the caller explicitly requesting non-blocking behavior. This ensures that raid1 consistently honors REQ_NOWAIT reads across all paths that may otherwise wait for behind writes.

2026-06-21md/raid1: simplify raid1_write_request() error handlingAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
raid1_write_request() increments rdev->nr_pending before checking the badblocks and then immediately decrements it again when a device is skipped. Move the increment until after the checks succeed so the reference accounting is easier to follow. Consolidate the failure paths so that each error label releases exactly the resources acquired up to that point. err_dec_pending drops pending references and frees the r1bio, while err_allow_barrier handles the barrier release before returning. When a REQ_ATOMIC write cannot be satisfied due to a badblock range, complete the bio with BLK_STS_NOTSUPP rather than reporting an I/O error, since the operation is unsupported rather than having failed during I/O. Rename max_write_sectors to max_sectors and remove the redundant local copy.

2026-06-21md/raid1: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on write failuresAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
raid1_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with md_write_start() before calling raid1_write_request(). Several failure paths in raid1_write_request() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding md_write_end() to be skipped. Make raid1_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. This allows raid1_make_request() to call md_write_end() when raid1_write_request() fails. Additionally, if wait_blocked_rdev() fails after wait_barrier() succeeds, the associated barrier reference is not released. Call allow_barrier() before returning from that path to keep the barrier accounting balanced.

2026-05-31raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error pathAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror. err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped, leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf() refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0. Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.

2026-05-31md/raid1,raid10: fix bio accounting for split md cloned biosAbd-Alrhman Masalkhi
Use md_cloned_bio() to control bio accounting instead of relying on r1bio_existed in raid1 or the io_accounting flag in raid10. The previous logic does not reliably reflect whether a bio is an md cloned bio. When a failed bio is split and resubmitted via bio_submit_split_bioset() on the error path, this can lead to either double accounting for md cloned bios, or missing accounting for bios returned from bio_submit_split_bioset() Fix this by using md_cloned_bio() to detect md cloned bios and skip accounting accordingly.

2026-05-26md: propagate BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA from member devices to RAID deviceKiran Kumar Modukuri
MD RAID does not propagate BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA from member devices to the RAID device, preventing peer-to-peer DMA through the RAID layer even when all underlying devices support it. Enable BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA unconditionally in raid0, raid1 and raid10 personalities during queue limits setup. blk_stack_limits() clears it automatically if any member device lacks support, consistent with how BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT and BLK_FEAT_POLL are handled in the block core. Parity RAID personalities (raid4/5/6) are excluded because they require CPU access to data pages for parity computation, which is incompatible with P2P mappings. Tested with RAID0/1/10 arrays containing multiple NVMe devices with P2PDMA support, confirming that peer-to-peer transfers work correctly through the RAID layer.

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.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

'recovery_disabled' logic is complex and confusing, originally intended to preserve raid in extreme scenarios. It was used in following cases: - When sync fails and setting badblocks also fails, kick out non-In_sync rdev and block spare rdev from joining to preserve raid [1] - When last backup is unavailable, prevent repeated add-remove of spares triggering recovery [2] The original issues are now resolved: - Error handlers in all raid types prevent last rdev from being kicked out - Disks with failed recovery are marked Faulty and can't re-join Therefore, remove 'recovery_disabled' as it's no longer needed.

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.

2025-11-11md: allow configuring logical block sizeLi Nan
Previously, raid array used the maximum logical block size (LBS) of all member disks. Adding a larger LBS disk at runtime could unexpectedly increase RAID's LBS, risking corruption of existing partitions. This can be reproduced by: ``` # LBS of sd[de] is 512 bytes, sdf is 4096 bytes. mdadm -CRq /dev/md0 -l1 -n3 /dev/sd[de] missing --assume-clean # LBS is 512 cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size # create partition md0p1 parted -s /dev/md0 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 1MiB 100% lsblk | grep md0p1 # LBS becomes 4096 after adding sdf mdadm --add -q /dev/md0 /dev/sdf cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size # partition lost partprobe /dev/md0 lsblk | grep md0p1 ``` Simply restricting larger-LBS disks is inflexible. In some scenarios, only disks with 512 bytes LBS are available currently, but later, disks with 4KB LBS may be added to the array. Making LBS configurable is the best way to solve this scenario. After this patch, the raid will: - store LBS in disk metadata - add a read-write sysfs 'mdX/logical_block_size' Future mdadm should support setting LBS via metadata field during RAID creation and the new sysfs. Though the kernel allows runtime LBS changes, users should avoid modifying it after creating partitions or filesystems to prevent compatibility issues. Only 1.x metadata supports configurable LBS. 0.90 metadata inits all fields to default values at auto-detect. Supporting 0.90 would require more extensive changes and no such use case has been observed. Note that many RAID paths rely on PAGE_SIZE alignment, including for metadata I/O. A larger LBS than PAGE_SIZE will result in metadata read/write failures. So this config should be prevented.

The parameter max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors in queue_limits should be equal to max_write_zeroes_sectors if it is set to a non-zero value. However, the stacked md drivers call md_init_stacking_limits() to initialize this parameter to UINT_MAX but only adjust max_write_zeroes_sectors when setting limits. Therefore, this discrepancy triggers a value check failure in blk_validate_limits(). $ modprobe scsi_debug num_parts=2 dev_size_mb=8 lbprz=1 lbpws=1 $ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-device=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Invalid argument Fix this failure by explicitly setting max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to max_write_zeroes_sectors. Since the linear and raid0 drivers support write zeroes, so they can support unmap write zeroes operation if all of the backend devices support it. However, the raid1/10/5 drivers don't support write zeroes, so we have to set it to zero.
