From 92140480ed59a006b245efd33a195fde62d1845f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2015 12:28:45 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md/raid5: consider updating reshape_position at start of reshape. md/raid5 only updates ->reshape_position (which is stored in metadata and is authoritative) occasionally, but particularly when getting closed to ->resync_max as it must be correct when ->resync_max is reached. When mdadm tries to stop an array which is reshaping it will: - freeze the reshape, - set resync_max to where the reshape has reached. - unfreeze the reshape. When this happens, the reshape is aborted and then restarted. The restart doesn't check that resync_max is close, and so doesn't update ->reshape_position like it should. This results in the reshape stopping, but ->reshape_position being incorrect. So on that first call to reshape_request, make sure ->reshape_position is updated if needed.
