Subject: [PATCH v5 04/16] md: introduce md_cond_error()
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:04:21 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027150433.18193-5-k@mgml.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027150433.18193-1-k@mgml.me>
The failfast feature in RAID1 and RAID10 assumes that when md_error() is
called, the array remains functional because the last rdev neither fails
nor sets MD_BROKEN.
However, the current implementation can cause the array to lose
its last in-sync device or be marked as MD_BROKEN, which breaks the
assumption and can lead to array failure.
To address this issue, introduce md_cond_error() that handles failfast
bio errors without stopped the array. This function checks whether the
array will become inoperable if a rdev fails, and if so, it skips
error handling to ensure the array remains in an operational state.
Callers of md_error() will be updated to use this new function in
subsequent commits to properly handle failfast scenarios.
