discard request doesn't have data attached, so it's meaningless to
allocate memory and copy from original bio for behind IO. And the copy
is bogus because bio_copy_data_partial can't handle discard request.
We don't support writesame/writezeros request so far.

The 'writes_pending' counter is used to determine when the
array is stable so that it can be marked in the superblock
as "Clean". Consequently it needs to be updated frequently
but only checked for zero occasionally. Recent changes to
raid5 cause the count to be updated even more often - once
per 4K rather than once per bio. This provided
justification for making the updates more efficient.
So we replace the atomic counter a percpu-refcount.
This can be incremented and decremented cheaply most of the
time, and can be switched to "atomic" mode when more
precise counting is needed. As it is possible for multiple
threads to want a precise count, we introduce a
"sync_checker" counter to count the number of threads
in "set_in_sync()", and only switch the refcount back
to percpu mode when that is zero.
We need to be careful about races between set_in_sync()
setting ->in_sync to 1, and md_write_start() setting it
to zero. md_write_start() holds the rcu_read_lock()
while checking if the refcount is in percpu mode. If
it is, then we know a switch to 'atomic' will not happen until
after we call rcu_read_unlock(), in which case set_in_sync()
will see the elevated count, and not set in_sync to 1.
If it is not in percpu mode, we take the mddev->lock to
ensure proper synchronization.
It is no longer possible to quickly check if the count is zero, which
we previously did to update a timer or to schedule the md_thread.
So now we do these every time we decrement that counter, but make
sure they are fast.
mod_timer() already optimizes the case where the timeout value doesn't
actually change. We leverage that further by always rounding off the
jiffies to the timeout value. This may delay the marking of 'clean'
slightly, but ensure we only perform atomic operation here when absolutely
needed.
md_wakeup_thread() current always calls wake_up(), even if
THREAD_WAKEUP is already set. That too can be optimised to avoid
calls to wake_up().

Three separate places in md.c check if the number of active

There are a few differences, but there shouldn't be:
- it is always appropriate to notify the change in
sysfs_state, and there is no need to do this outside a
spin-locked region.
- we never need to check ->recovery_cp. The state of resync
is not relevant for whether there are any pending writes

raid10 currently repurposes bi_phys_segments on each
incoming bio to count how many r10bio was used to encode the
request.
We need to know when the number of attached r10bio reaches
zero to:
1/ call bio_endio() when all IO on the bio is finished
2/ decrement ->nr_pending so that resync IO can proceed.
Now that the bio has its own __bi_remaining counter, that
can be used instead. We can call bio_inc_remaining to
increment the counter and call bio_endio() every time an
r10bio completes, rather than only when bi_phys_segments
reaches zero.
This addresses point 1, but not point 2. bio_endio()
doesn't (and cannot) report when the last r10bio has
finished, so a different approach is needed.
So: instead of counting bios in ->nr_pending, count r10bios.
i.e. every time we attach a bio, increment nr_pending.
Every time an r10bio completes, decrement nr_pending.
Normally we only increment nr_pending after first checking
that ->barrier is zero, or some other non-trivial tests and
possible waiting. When attaching multiple r10bios to a bio,
we only need the tests and the waiting once. After the
first increment, subsequent increments can happen
unconditionally as they are really all part of the one
request.
So introduce inc_pending() which can be used when we know
that nr_pending is already elevated.
Note that this fixes a bug. freeze_array() contains the line
atomic_read(&conf->nr_pending) == conf->nr_queued+extra,
which implies that the units for ->nr_pending, ->nr_queued and extra
are the same.
->nr_queue and extra count r10_bios, but prior to this patch,
->nr_pending counted bios. If a bio ever resulted in multiple
r10_bios (due to bad blocks), freeze_array() would not work correctly.
Now it does.

When a read request, which bypassed the cache, fails, we need to retry
it through the cache.
This involves attaching it to a sequence of stripe_heads, and it may not
be possible to get all the stripe_heads we need at once.
We do what we can, and record how far we got in ->bi_phys_segments so
we can pick up again later.
There is only ever one bio which may have a non-zero offset stored in
->bi_phys_segments, the one that is either active in the single thread
which calls retry_aligned_read(), or is in conf->retry_read_aligned
waiting for retry_aligned_read() to be called again.
So we only need to store one offset value. This can be in a local
variable passed between remove_bio_from_retry() and
retry_aligned_read(), or in the r5conf structure next to the
->retry_read_aligned pointer.
Storing it there allows the last usage of ->bi_phys_segments to be

md/raid5 needs to keep track of how many stripe_heads are processing a
bio so that it can delay calling bio_endio() until all stripe_heads
have completed. It currently uses 16 bits of ->bi_phys_segments for
this purpose.
16 bits is only enough for 256M requests, and it is possible for a
single bio to be larger than this, which causes problems. Also, the
bio struct contains a larger counter, __bi_remaining, which has a
purpose very similar to the purpose of our counter. So stop using
->bi_phys_segments, and instead use __bi_remaining.
This means we don't need to initialize the counter, as our caller
initializes it to '1'. It also means we can call bio_endio() directly
as it tests this counter internally.

If a device fails during a write, we must ensure the failure is

acknowleged.
Commit c3cce6cda1 ("md/raid5: ensure device failure recorded before
write request returns.") added code for this, but it was
unnecessarily complicated. We already had similar functionality for
handling updates to the bad-block-list, thanks to Commit de393cdea6
("md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.")
So revert most of the former commit, and instead avoid collecting
completed writes if MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set. raid5d() will then flush
the metadata and retry the stripe_head.
As this change can leave a stripe_head ready for handling immediately
after handle_active_stripes() returns, we change raid5_do_work() to
pause when MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set, so that it doesn't spin.
We check MD_CHANGE_PENDING *after* analyse_stripe() as it could be set
asynchronously. After analyse_stripe(), we have collected stable data
about the state of devices, which will be used to make decisions.

We use md_write_start() to increase the count of pending writes, and
md_write_end() to decrement the count. We currently count bios
submitted to md/raid5. Change it count stripe_heads that a WRITE bio
has been attached to.
So now, raid5_make_request() calls md_write_start() and then
md_write_end() to keep the count elevated during the setup of the
request.
add_stripe_bio() calls md_write_start() for each stripe_head, and the
completion routines always call md_write_end(), instead of only
calling it when raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes() returns 0.
make_discard_request also calls md_write_start/end().
The parallel between md_write_{start,end} and use of bi_phys_segments
can be seen in that:
Whenever we set bi_phys_segments to 1, we now call md_write_start.
Whenever we increment it on non-read requests with
raid5_inc_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_start().
Whenever we decrement bi_phys_segments on non-read requsts with
raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_end().
This reduces our dependence on keeping a per-bio count of active
stripes in bi_phys_segments.
md_write_inc() is added which parallels md_write_start(), but requires
that a write has already been started, and is certain never to sleep.
This can be used inside a spinlocked region when adding to a write
request.

on mddev->thread->wqueue.
With the new change, clustered raid could possible hang if
array received a METADATA_UPDATED msg after array unregistered
mddev->thread, so we need to stop clustered raid (bitmap_destroy
-> bitmap_free -> md_cluster_stop) earlier than unregister
thread (mddev_detach -> md_unregister_thread).
And this change should be safe for non-clustered raid since
all writes are stopped before the destroy. Also in md_run,
we activate the personality (pers->run()) before activating
the bitmap (bitmap_create()). So it is pleasingly symmetric
to stop the bitmap (bitmap_destroy()) before stopping the
personality (__md_stop() calls pers->free()), we achieve this
by move bitmap_destroy to the beginning of __md_stop.
But we don't want to break the codes for waiting behind IO as
Shaohua mentioned, so introduce bitmap_wait_behind_writes to
call the codes, and call the new fun in both mddev_detach and
bitmap_destroy, then we will not break original behind IO code

Load the log from each disk when starting the array and recover if the
array is dirty.
The initial empty PPL is written by mdadm. When loading the log we
verify the header checksum and signature. For external metadata arrays
the signature is verified in userspace, so here we read it from the
header, verifying only if it matches on all disks, and use it later when
writing PPL.
In addition to the header checksum, each header entry also contains a
checksum of its partial parity data. If the header is valid, recovery is
performed for each entry until an invalid entry is found. If the array
is not degraded and recovery using PPL fully succeeds, there is no need
to resync the array because data and parity will be consistent, so in
this case resync will be disabled.
Due to compatibility with IMSM implementations on other systems, we
can't assume that the recovery data block size is always 4K. Writes
generated by MD raid5 don't have this issue, but when recovering PPL
written in other environments it is possible to have entries with
512-byte sector granularity. The recovery code takes this into account
and also the logical sector size of the underlying drives.

Allocate it only if mddev has the MD_HAS_PPL flag set.
Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is

- reconstruct-write case:
xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe
- read-modify-write case:
xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe
Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.
Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.
Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.

Previous patch (raid5: only dispatch IO from raid5d for harddisk raid)
defers IO dispatching. The goal is to create better IO pattern. At that
time, we don't sort the deffered IO and hope the block layer can do IO
merge and sort. Now the raid5-cache writeback could create large amount
of bios. And if we enable muti-thread for stripe handling, we can't
control when to dispatch IO to raid disks. In a lot of time, we are
dispatching IO which block layer can't do merge effectively.
This patch moves further for the IO dispatching defer. We accumulate
bios, but we don't dispatch all the bios after a threshold is met. This
'dispatch partial portion of bios' stragety allows bios coming in a
large time window are sent to disks together. At the dispatching time,
there is large chance the block layer can merge the bios. To make this
more effective, we dispatch IO in ascending order. This increases
request merge chance and reduces disk seek.

two types of stripes are mixed together. When reclaim flushes a lot of
stripes, the first type of stripes could be noticeably delayed. On the
other hand, if the log space is tight, we'd like to handle the second
type of stripes faster and free log space.
This patch destinguishes the two types stripes. They are added into

To update size for cluster raid, we need to make
sure all nodes can perform the change successfully.
However, it is possible that some of them can't do
it due to failure (bitmap_resize could fail). So
we need to consider the issue before we set the
capacity unconditionally, and we use below steps
to perform sanity check.
1. A change the size, then broadcast METADATA_UPDATED
msg.
2. B and C receive METADATA_UPDATED change the size
excepts call set_capacity, sync_size is not update
if the change failed. Also call bitmap_update_sb
to sync sb to disk.
3. A checks other node's sync_size, if sync_size has
been updated in all nodes, then send CHANGE_CAPACITY
msg otherwise send msg to revert previous change.
4. B and C call set_capacity if receive CHANGE_CAPACITY
msg, otherwise pers->resize will be called to restore
the old value.

Support resize is a little complex for clustered
raid, since we need to ensure all the nodes share
the same knowledge about the size of raid.
We achieve the goal by check the sync_size which
is in each node's bitmap, we can only change the
capacity after cluster_check_sync_size returns 0.
Also, get_bitmap_from_slot is added to get a slot's
bitmap. And we exported some funcs since they are
used in cluster_check_sync_size().
We can also reuse get_bitmap_from_slot to remove
redundant code existed in bitmap_copy_from_slot.

The msg type CHANGE_CAPACITY is introduced to support
resize clustered raid in later patch, and it is sent
after all the nodes have the same sync_size, receiver
node just need to set new capacity once received this
msg.

Previously, when node received METADATA_UPDATED msg, it just
need to wakeup mddev->thread, then md_reload_sb will be called
eventually.
We taken the asynchronous way to avoid a deadlock issue, the
deadlock issue could happen when one node is receiving the
METADATA_UPDATED msg (wants reconfig_mutex) and trying to run
the path:
md_check_recovery -> mddev_trylock(hold reconfig_mutex)
-> md_update_sb-metadata_update_start
(want EX on token however token is
got by the sending node)
Since we will support resizing for clustered raid, and we
need the metadata update handling to be synchronous so that
the initiating node can detect failure, so we need to change
the way for handling METADATA_UPDATED msg.
But, we obviously need to avoid above deadlock with the
sync way. To make this happen, we considered to not hold
reconfig_mutex to call md_reload_sb, if some other thread
has already taken reconfig_mutex and waiting for the 'token',
then process_recvd_msg() can safely call md_reload_sb()
without taking the mutex. This is because we can be certain
that no other thread will take the mutex, and we also certain
that the actions performed by md_reload_sb() won't interfere
with anything that the other thread is in the middle of.
To make this more concrete, we added a new cinfo->state bit
MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD
Which is set in lock_token() just before dlm_lock_sync() is
called, and cleared just after. As lock_token() is always
called with reconfig_mutex() held (the specific case is the
resync_info_update which is distinguished well in previous
patch), if process_recvd_msg() finds that the new bit is set,
then the mutex must be held by some other thread, and it will
keep waiting.
So process_metadata_update() can call md_reload_sb() if either
mddev_trylock() succeeds, or if MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD
is set. The tricky bit is what to do if neither of these apply.
We need to wait. Fortunately mddev_unlock() always calls wake_up()
on mddev->thread->wqueue. So we can get lock_token() to call
wake_up() on that when it sets the bit.
There are also some related changes inside this commit:
1. remove RELOAD_SB related codes since there are not valid anymore.
2. mddev is added into md_cluster_info then we can get mddev inside
lock_token.
3. add new parameter for lock_token to distinguish reconfig_mutex
is held or not.
And, we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD in below:
1. set it before unregister thread, otherwise a deadlock could
appear if stop a resyncing array.
This is because md_unregister_thread(&cinfo->recv_thread) is
blocked by recv_daemon -> process_recvd_msg
-> process_metadata_update.
To resolve the issue, MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
also need to be set before unregister thread.
2. set it in metadata_update_start to fix another deadlock.
a. Node A sends METADATA_UPDATED msg (held Token lock).
b. Node B wants to do resync, and is blocked since it can't
get Token lock, but MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
not set since the callchain
(md_do_sync -> sync_request
-> resync_info_update
-> sendmsg
-> lock_comm -> lock_token)
doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
c. Node B trys to update sb (held reconfig_mutex), but stopped
at wait_event() in metadata_update_start since we have set
MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK flag in lock_comm (step 2).
d. Then Node B receives METADATA_UPDATED msg from A, of course
recv_daemon is blocked forever.
Since metadata_update_start always calls lock_token with reconfig_mutex,
we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD here as well, and
lock_token don't need to set it twice unless lock_token is invoked from
lock_comm.
Finally, thanks to Neil for his great idea and help!
