The raid6 recovery code should immediately drop back to the optimized synchronous path when a p+q dma resource is not available. Otherwise we run the non-optimized/multi-pass async code in sync mode. Verified with raid6test (NDISKS=255) Applies to kernels >= 2.6.32. Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Reported-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Linus, I'd like to get this in for 2.6.34, but it could just as soon wait for the merge window and go in for 2.6.34.1. Note that 'scribble' is guaranteed to not be NULL given the current in-tree callers, so testing for an available offload resource is the only way to trigger this path. -- Dan crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.c | 21 +++++++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.c b/crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.c index 943f2ab..ce038d8 100644 --- a/crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.c +++ b/crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.c @@ -324,6 +324,7 @@ struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_raid6_2data_recov(int disks, size_t bytes, int faila, int failb, struct page **blocks, struct async_submit_ctl *submit) { + void *scribble = submit->scribble; int non_zero_srcs, i; BUG_ON(faila == failb); @@ -332,11 +333,13 @@ async_raid6_2data_recov(int disks, size_t bytes, int faila, int failb, pr_debug("%s: disks: %d len: %zu\n", __func__, disks, bytes); - /* we need to preserve the contents of 'blocks' for the async - * case, so punt to synchronous if a scribble buffer is not available + /* if a dma resource is not available or a scribble buffer is not + * available punt to the synchronous path.
