Re: [PATCH 1/2] md/raid5: skip stripes with bad reads during reshape to avoid stall

Hi,

在 2025/01/25 9:26, Doug V Johnson 写道:
While adding an additional drive to a raid6 array, the reshape stalled
at about 13% complete and any I/O operations on the array hung,
creating an effective soft lock. The kernel reported a hung task in
mdXX_reshape thread and I had to use magic sysrq to recover as systemd
hung as well.

I first suspected an issue with one of the underlying block devices and
as precaution I recovered the data in read only mode to a new array, but
it turned out to be in the RAID layer as I was able to recreate the
issue from a superblock dump in sparse files.

After poking around some I discovered that I had somehow propagated the
bad block list to several devices in the array such that a few blocks
were unreable. The bad read reported correctly in userspace during
recovery, but it wasn't obvious that it was from a bad block list
metadata at the time and instead confirmed my bias suspecting hardware
issues

I was able to reproduce the issue with a minimal test case using small
loopback devices. I put a script for this in a github repository:

https://github.com/dougvj/md_badblock_reshape_stall_test

This patch handles bad reads during a reshape by unmarking the
STRIPE_EXPANDING and STRIPE_EXPAND_READY bits effectively skipping the
stripe and then reports the issue in dmesg.

Thanks for the patch, however, for example:

before reshape, three disks raid5:
rdev0           rdev1           rdev2
chunk0          chunk1          P0
chunk2(BB)      P1(BB)          chunk3
P2              chunk4          chunk5
chunk6          chunk7          P3
chunk8          P4              chunk9
P5              chunk10         chunk11

after reshape, four disks raid5:
rdev0           rdev1           rdev2           rdev3
chunk0          chunk1          chunk2(lost)    P0
chunk3(BB)      chunk4(BB)      P1              chunk5
chunk6          P2              chunk7          chunk8
P3              chunk9          chunk10         chunk11

In this case, before reshape, data from chunk2 is lost, however,
after reshape, chunk2 is lost as well, need to set badblocks to rdev2 to
prevent user get wrong data. Meanwhile, chunk3 and chunk4 are all lost,
because rdev0 and rdev1 has badblocks.

So, perhaps just abort the reshape will make more sense to me, because
user will lost more data if so.

Thanks,
Kuai
