Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Skip cluster setup for dm-raid
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 12:09:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437584957-23879-3-git-send-email-rgoldwyn@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437584957-23879-1-git-send-email-rgoldwyn@suse.com>
There is a bug that the bitmap superblock isn't initialised properly for
dm-raid, so a new field can have garbage in new fields.
(dm-raid does initialisation in the kernel - md initialised the
superblock in mdadm).
This means that for dm-raid we cannot currently trust the new ->nodes
field. So:
- use __GFP_ZERO to initialise the superblock properly for all new
arrays
- initialise all field in bitmap_info in bitmap_new_disk_sb
- ignore ->nodes for dm arrays (yes, this is a hack)
