Fix dm-raid flush support.
Both md and dm have support for flush, but the dm-raid target
forgot to set the flag to indicate that flushes should be
passed on. (Important for data integrity e.g. with writeback cache

The 'rebuild' parameter is used to rebuild individual devices in an
array (e.g. resynchronize a RAID1 device or recalculate a parity device
in higher RAID). The MD_CHANGE_DEVS flag must be set when this
parameter is given in order to write out the superblocks and make the
change take immediate effect. The code that handles new devices in
super_load already sets MD_CHANGE_DEVS and 'FirstUse'. (The 'FirstUse'
flag was being set as a special case for rebuilds in
super_init_validation.)
Add a condition for rebuilds in super_load to take care of both flags
without the special case in 'super_init_validation'.

If we get a read error on the last working device in a RAID10 which
contains the target block, then we don't fail the device (which is
good) but we don't abort retries, which is wrong.
We end up in an infinite loop retrying the read on the one device.
This patch fixes the problem in two places:
1/ in raid10_end_read_request we don't even ask for a retry if this
was the last usable device. This is efficient but a little racy
and will sometimes retry when it should not.
2/ in handle_read_error we are careful to exclude any device from
retry which we tried to mark as faulty (that might have failed if
it was the last device). This is race-free but less efficient.

The life cycle of a device-mapper target is:
1) create
2) resume
3) suspend
*) possibly repeat from 2
4) destroy
The dm-raid target is unconditionally calling MD's bitmap_load function upon
every resume. If steps 2 & 3 above are repeated, bitmap_load is called
multiple times. It is only written to be called once; otherwise, it allocates
new memory for the bitmap (without freeing the old) and incrementing the number
of pages it thinks it has without zeroing first. This ultimately leads to
access beyond allocated memory and lost memory.
Simply avoiding the bitmap_load call upon resume is not sufficient. If the
target was suspended while the initial recovery was only partially complete,
it needs to be restarted when the target is resumed. This is why
'md_wakeup_thread' is called before issuing the 'mddev_resume'.

Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the

itself.
This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.
Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

In RAID1, a replacement is much like a normal device, so we just
double the size of the relevant arrays and look at all possible
devices for reads and writes.
This means that the array looks like it is now double the size in some
way - we need to be careful about that.
In particular, we checking if the array is still degraded while
creating a recovery request we need to only consider the first 'half'
- i.e. the real (non-replacement) devices.

In general mddev->raid_disks can change unexpectedly while

this way is more consistent and safer in the long term.

When recovery finish and spare_active is called, check for a

as such, marking the original as failed.
Then when the original is removed, move the replacement into
its position.

Then when the original gets removed we move the replacement from

This could race with other code that is looking at these pointers,

a reader might see one device twice, but never no devices.

We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read

hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.
With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original
device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.
This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.
This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.
It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
sysfs.
"want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
"replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
device.
The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
device, not the replacement. We currently don't make links for the

For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.
The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit. So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.
So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.
In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or

commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.
When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that
might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant.
Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added.
This is a false optimisation.
It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a
subsequent spare might be accepted.
Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.
If we abort early these might not happen properly.
So remove the early abort.
In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the
mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which
is refcounted by sysfs.
And we also take the mddev_lock.
However this is not enough.
The final mddev_put could have been called and the
mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy
the kobj and mddev.
In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted.
To to guard against this we:
- initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be
easily detected.
- in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under
all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to
be active.
This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we
will get -EBUSY.
rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have
sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to
mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed
removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this
ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed.
However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it
is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes.
In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very
similar to immediately after we have finished with it.
So we always preserve a newly created md device until something
significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'.
The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will
normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it
doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to
get rid of it.
We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we
currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if
it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed.
However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more
gradual so we should look for a more definitive change.
So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when
the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs
are ignored.

Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it
is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies.
When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device
which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications
such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl. Userspace log devices
don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from
the list of dependencies.
This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to
respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be
registered via 'dm_get_device'. DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented.
This is backwards compatible. If the kernel and userspace log server
have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the
kernel and the device will be registered. If the kernel is new, but
the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device
information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration
as before. If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log
server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
