raid6: move to lib/raid/

2026-05-29T04:24:53+00:00

Move the raid6 code to live in lib/raid/ with the XOR code, and change the internal organization so that each architecture has a subdirectory similar to the CRC, crypto and XOR libraries, and fix up the Makefile to only build files actually needed. Also move the kunit test case from the history test/ subdirectory to tests/ and use the normal naming scheme for it.

raid6: turn the userspace test harness into a kunit test

2026-05-29T04:24:52+00:00

Patch series "cleanup the RAID6 P/Q library", v3. This series cleans up the RAID6 P/Q library to match the recent updates to the RAID 5 XOR library and other CRC/crypto libraries. This includes providing properly documented external interfaces, hiding the internals, using static_call instead of indirect calls and turning the user space test suite into an in-kernel kunit test which is also extended to improve coverage. Note that this changes registration so that non-priority algorithms are not registered, which greatly helps with the benchmark time at boot time. I'd like to encourage all architecture maintainers to see if they can further optimized this by registering as few as possible algorithms when there is a clear benefit in optimized or more unrolled implementations. This patch (of 18): Currently the raid6 code can be compiled as userspace code to run the test suite. Convert that to be a kunit case with minimal changes to avoid mutating global state so that we can drop this requirement. Note that this is not a good kunit test case yet and will need a lot more work, but that is deferred until the raid6 code is moved to it's new place, which is easier if the userspace makefile doesn't need adjustments for the new location first.

lib/raid6/test: fix multiple definition linking error

2022-03-08T23:20:21+00:00

GCC 10+ defaults to -fno-common, which enforces proper declaration of external references using "extern". without this change a link would fail with: lib/raid6/test/algos.c:28: multiple definition of `raid6_call'; lib/raid6/test/test.c:22: first defined here the pq.h header that is included already includes an extern declaration so we can just remove the redundant one here.

raid6/test/test.c: bug fix: Specify aligned(alignment) attributes to the char arrays

2016-09-26T23:18:21+00:00

Specifying the aligned attributes to the char data[NDISKS][PAGE_SIZE], char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] and char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] arrays, so that all malloc memory is page boundary aligned. Without these alignment attributes, the test causes a segfault in userspace when the NDISKS are changed to 4 from 16. The RAID stripes will be page aligned anyway, so we want to test what the kernel actually will execute. Cc: H. Peter Anvin Cc: Yu-cheng Yu Signed-off-by: Gayatri Kammela Reviewed-by: H.

md/raid6 algorithms: improve test program

2015-04-21T22:00:42+00:00

It is always helpful to have a test tool in place if we implement new data critical algorithms. So add some test routines to the raid6 checker that can prove if the new xor_syndrome() works as expected. Run through all permutations of start/stop pages per algorithm and simulate a xor_syndrome() assisted rmw run. After each rmw check if the recovery algorithm still confirms that the stripe is fine.
