Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] a couple of readonly handling fixups
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:24:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090108072023.9577.3585.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)
The BUG_ON(mddev->ro == 1) in md_write_start can be triggered under two
circumstances in recent kernels. One was reported by Justin Maggard:
1) Create an md array with >= 1 disk
2) Start a task writing to the array ("dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0
bs=1M count=10000 &" does the trick for me)
3) Force an improper reboot with reboot -fn
...the other was discovered while investigating this issue.
1) Set a raid5 readyonly with mdadm
2) Set the array writable with blockdev
3) Attempt to write to the array

Revert "Restore force switch of md array to readonly at reboot time."
md: set mddev readonly flag on blkdev BLKROSET ioctl
