Subject: [PATCH v2] mdadm: Clear extra flags when initializing metadata
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:09:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <27127b7d-7da6-cd31-01db-6725884a7286@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <b894d081-eda9-6b28-5fef-75753838a916@huawei.com>
When adding a disk to a RAID1 array, the metadata is read from the existing
member disks for sync. However, only the bad_blocks flag are copied,
the bad_blocks records are not copied, so the bad_blocks records are all zeros.
The kernel function super_1_load() detects bad_blocks flag and reads the
bad_blocks record, then sets the bad block using badblocks_set().
After the kernel commit 1726c7746("badblocks: improve badblocks_set() for
multiple ranges handling"), if the length of a bad_blocks record is 0, it will
return a failure. Therefore the device addition will fail.
So when adding a new disk, some flags cannot be sync and need to be cleared.
