md/r5cache: flush data only stripes in r5l_recovery_log()
For safer operation, all arrays start in write-through mode, which has been better tested and is more mature. And actually the write-through/write-mode isn't persistent after array restarted, so we always start array in write-through mode. However, if recovery found data-only stripes before the shutdown (from previous write-back mode), it is not safe to start the array in write-through mode, as write-through mode can not handle stripes with data in write-back cache. To solve this problem, we flush all data-only stripes in r5l_recovery_log(). When r5l_recovery_log() returns, the array starts with empty cache in write-through mode. This logic is implemented in r5c_recovery_flush_data_only_stripes(): 1. enable write back cache 2. flush all stripes 3. wake up conf->mddev->thread 4. wait for all stripes get flushed (reuse wait_for_quiescent) 5. disable write back cache The wait in 4 will be waked up in release_inactive_stripe_list() when conf->active_stripes reaches 0. It is safe to wake up mddev->thread here because all the resource required for the thread has been initialized. Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
