md: no longer compare spare disk superblock events in super_load
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 6a5cb53 ]

We have a test case as follow:

  mdadm -CR /dev/md1 -l 1 -n 4 /dev/sd[a-d] \
	--assume-clean --bitmap=internal
  mdadm -S /dev/md1
  mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sd[b-c] --run --force

  mdadm --zero /dev/sda
  mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sda

  echo offline > /sys/block/sdc/device/state
  echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state
  sleep 5
  mdadm -S /dev/md1

  echo running > /sys/block/sdb/device/state
  echo running > /sys/block/sdc/device/state
  mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sd[a-c] --run --force

When we readd /dev/sda to the array, it started to do recovery.
After offline the other two disks in md1, the recovery have
been interrupted and superblock update info cannot be written
to the offline disks. While the spare disk (/dev/sda) can continue
to update superblock info.

After stopping the array and assemble it, we found the array
run fail, with the follow kernel message:

[  172.986064] md: kicking non-fresh sdb from array!
[  173.004210] md: kicking non-fresh sdc from array!
[  173.022383] md/raid1:md1: active with 0 out of 4 mirrors
[  173.022406] md1: failed to create bitmap (-5)
[  173.023466] md: md1 stopped.

Since both sdb and sdc have the value of 'sb->events' smaller than
that in sda, they have been kicked from the array. However, the only
remained disk sda is in 'spare' state before stop and it cannot be
added to conf->mirrors[] array. In the end, raid array assemble
and run fail.

In fact, we can use the older disk sdb or sdc to assemble the array.
That means we should not choose the 'spare' disk as the fresh disk in
analyze_sbs().

To fix the problem, we do not compare superblock events when it is
a spare disk, as same as validate_super.
