From c8894419acf5e56851de9741c5047bebd78acd1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 14:02:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] md: fix raid5 'repair' operations commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair' operations. After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits tracking this operation. However, they are cleared too early and this results in the code deciding to re-run the parity check operation. Since we have done the repair in memory the second check does not find a mismatch and thus does not do a writeback. Test results: $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 51072 $ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 0 (also fix incorrect indentation) Cc: Tested-by: George Spelvin Acked-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
