Hi all I'm reading the code of md. I find there is a problem. I know now there are arrays mark[SYNC_MARKS] mark_cnt[SYNC_MARKS] store the information about how many sectors finish recovery and the moment. 7825 currspeed = ((unsigned long)(io_sectors-mddev->resync_mark_cnt))/2 7826 /((jiffies-mddev->resync_mark)/HZ +1) +1; But when calculate the speed of recovery, the sectors used to calculate contains the sectors which are not finished recovery. When assign value to mark_cnt[next], it subtract the sectors which don't finish recovery. So I think when calculate the recovery speed we should subtract the sectors not finishing recovery too. 7638 mark_cnt[next] = io_sectors - atomic_read(&mddev->recovery_active); So I try to modify and the patch is: --- linux-stable/drivers/md/md.c 2014-07-30 14:36:37.327535805 +0800 +++ fix/md.c 2014-07-31 16:40:57.151493177 +0800 @@ -7652,7 +7652,7 @@ */ cond_resched(); - currspeed = ((unsigned long)(io_sectors-mddev->resync_mark_cnt))/2 + currspeed = ((unsigned long)(io_sectors-atomic_read(&mddev->recovery_active)-mddev->resync_mark_cnt))/2 /((jiffies-mddev->resync_mark)/HZ +1) +1; if (currspeed > speed_min(mddev)) { Am I right?
