md/raid1,5,10: Disable WRITE SAME until a recovery strategy is in place
commit 5026d7a9b2f3eb1f9bda66c18ac6bc3036ec9020 upstream. There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact, support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can happen, including drive firmware bugs. After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss. However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero. Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for raid1, raid5, and raid10. [neilb: added raid5] This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same support was added. Signed-off-by: H.
