Linus Torvalds d080827f85 libnvdimm for 4.5
1/ Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated
    in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device.
    This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem
    block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating
    dax mappings.
 
 2/ Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
    large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to
    dax-mmap a block device directly.
 
 3/ Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory
    as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is
    actively using an address range.  This behavior is controlled via the
    new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the
    existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option.
 
 4/ Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
    block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

Dan Williams 1501efadc5 md/raid: only permit hot-add of compatible integrity profiles
It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is
in-flight in the queue.  Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online
spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile.

The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in
md, commmit c7bfced9a6 "md: suspend i/o during runtime
blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression.

This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has
been established is shared with DM.

Here is an abbreviated log from a test run that:

2/ Tries to add an integrity-disabled device (pmem1m) [   90.489209]
3/ Retries with an integrity-enabled device (pmem1s) [  205.671277]

Deepa Dinamani 9ebc6ef188 drivers: md: use ktime_get_real_seconds()
get_seconds() API is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems and the API
is deprecated. Replace it with calls to ktime_get_real_seconds()
API instead. Change mddev structure types to time64_t accordingly.

32 bit signed timestamps will overflow in the year 2038.

Change the user interface mdu_array_info_s structure timestamps:
ctime and utime values used in ioctls GET_ARRAY_INFO and
SET_ARRAY_INFO to unsigned int. This will extend the field to last
until the year 2106.
The long term plan is to get rid of ctime and utime values in
this structure as this information can be read from the on-disk
meta data directly.

Clamp the tim64_t timestamps to positive values with a max of U32_MAX
when returning from GET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl to accommodate above changes
in the data type of timestamps to unsigned int.

v0.90 on disk meta data uses u32 for maintaining time stamps.
So this will also last until year 2106.
Assumption is that the usage of v0.90 will be deprecated by
year 2106.

Timestamp fields in the on disk meta data for v1.0 version already
use 64 bit data types. Remove the truncation of the bits while
writing to or reading from these from the disk.

Guoqing Jiang 15858fa5b0 md-cluster: Defer MD reloading to mddev->thread
Reloading of superblock must be performed under reconfig_mutex. However,
this cannot be done with md_reload_sb because it would deadlock with
the message DLM lock. So, we defer it in md_check_recovery() which is
executed by mddev->thread.

This introduces a new flag, MD_RELOAD_SB, which if set, will reload the
superblock. And good_device_nr is also added to 'struct mddev' which is
used to get the num of the good device within cluster raid.

Guoqing Jiang 659b254fa7 md-cluster: remove a disk asynchronously from cluster environment
For cluster raid, if one disk couldn't be reach in one node, then
other nodes would receive the REMOVE message for the disk.

In receiving node, we can't call md_kick_rdev_from_array to remove
the disk from array synchronously since the disk might still be busy
in this node. So let's set a ClusterRemove flag on the disk, then
let the thread to do the removal job eventually.

Goldwyn Rodrigues 70bcecdb15 md-cluster: Improve md_reload_sb to be less error prone
md_reload_sb is too simplistic and it explicitly needs to determine
the changes made by the writing node. However, there are multiple areas
where a simple reload could fail.

Instead, read the superblock of one of the "good" rdevs and update
the necessary information:

- read the superblock into a newly allocated page, by temporarily
  swapping out rdev->sb_page and calling ->load_super.
- if that fails return
- if it succeeds, call check_sb_changes
  1. iterates over list of active devices and checks the matching
   dev_roles[] value.
   	If that is 'faulty', the device must be  marked as faulty
	 - call md_error to mark the device as faulty. Make sure
	   not to set CHANGE_DEVS and wakeup mddev->thread or else
	   it would initiate a resync process, which is the responsibility
	   of the "primary" node.
	 - clear the Blocked bit
	 - Call remove_and_add_spares() to hot remove the device.
	If the device is 'spare':
	 - call remove_and_add_spares() to get the number of spares
	   added in this operation.
	 - Reduce mddev->degraded to mark the array as not degraded.
  2. reset recovery_cp
- read the rest of the rdevs to update recovery_offset. If recovery_offset
  is equal to MaxSector, call spare_active() to set it In_sync

This required that recovery_offset be initialized to MaxSector, as
opposed to zero so as to communicate the end of sync for a rdev.

Tejun Heo 66114cad64 writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

Goldwyn Rodrigues 1aee41f637 Add new disk to clustered array
Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
   using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
   was found:
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
	 disc.number set to slot number)
   ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
   as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.

1. recover_prep: called when DLM discovers a node is down
2. recover_slot: called when DLM identifies the node and recovery

3. recover_done: called when all nodes have completed recover_slot

recover_slot() and recover_done() are also called when the node joins
initially in order to inform the node with its slot number. These slot
numbers start from one, so we deduct one to make it start with zero

NeilBrown 64590f45dd md: make merge_bvec_fn more robust in face of personality changes.
There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.

So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.

NeilBrown 5c675f83c6 md: make ->congested robust against personality changes.
There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function.  If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.

So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.

When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock.  Fortunately this is the case.

NeilBrown 85572d7c75 md: rename mddev->write_lock to mddev->lock
This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further.  So the
name is inappropriate.

Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.

So:
  -rename write_lock to lock
  -document what it protects
  -remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
     is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq).  This can be
     cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file.  But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.

So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.

Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write.  Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

Linus Torvalds d3bad75a6d Driver core / sysfs patches for 3.14-rc1
Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
 
 There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
 allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
 attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
 removal  as needed / unneeded, etc.  This is primarily being done for
 the cgroups filesystem, but the goal is to also move debugfs to it when
 it is ready, solving all of the known issues in that filesystem as well.
 The code isn't completed yet, but all should be stable now (there is a
 big section that was reverted due to problems found when testing.)
 
 There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
 allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be using
 soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier.)
 
 All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues.

NeilBrown 8313b8e57f md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.

If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.

However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update.  We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.

This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag.  If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

Tejun Heo 324a56e16e kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly
kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
* s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
* s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
* s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
* s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
* s/parent_sd/parent/
* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them.  All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial.  While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

- mic / gpio renames were missing.  Spotted by kbuild test robot.

Linus Torvalds 0910c0bdf7 Merge branch 'for-3.13/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
  3.13.  It contains:

   - The new blk-mq request interface.

     This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
     best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
     is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
     which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
     it's much faster than the request based one.

     The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
     the stack much earlier.  This means that drivers end up having to
     implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
     timeout handling, requeue, etc.  The blk-mq interface provides all
     these.  Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
     has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
     the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads.  This is a
     huge mess.  Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
     reduction.  Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
     shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices.  So while the
     model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
     substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well.  This code
     has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
     to go.  A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
     model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
     for 3.14 conversion.

   - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.

   - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.

   - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.

   - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.

   - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout
     handling from Jeff Moyer.  This is what caused the merge conflict
     with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.

   - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.

   - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
     Overstreet.

   - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop
     crash and memory corruption on blk cg.

   - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.

  A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch.  Initially the immutable
  bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
  clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet.  So the decision was made to
  pull this out and postpone it until 3.14.  It was a straight forward
  rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of
  problems with it.  The rest of the patches applied directly and no
  further changes were made"

Tejun Heo 388975ccca sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()
The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
updated by following patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

    error on module builds.  Reported by build test robot.  Fixed.

NeilBrown 260fa034ef md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop.
When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so
that all buffers get flushed.
So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will
be nothing to flush.

However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just
moments before some other process which was writing closes their file
descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might
not get flushed.

So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev().  However at this point it is
holding ->reconfig_mutex.  So if the array is currently 'clean' then
the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array
can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread
can get ->reconfig_mutex.  So we deadlock.

We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take
->reconfig_mutex.
However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it
after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array.
This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward.

So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED.  Set it before calling
sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the
STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further
opens.

It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to
it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl.  Just don't do that.

Lukas Czerner eed8c02e68 wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

NeilBrown 0021b7bc04 md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I
cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and
testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not
show any performance difference by removing it.

So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to
be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active.

This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the
updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that
the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large
numbers of updates together.

Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and
will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a
measurable effect.

NeilBrown c6563a8c38 md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.
When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).

So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.

(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
 we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
 A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
 zero to avoid a repeat of this)

The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.

This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be.  At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.

When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors.  So provide an exported function to do that.

NeilBrown 2c810cddc4 md: allow a reshape operation to be reversed.
Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.

To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
reversed and it will undo.

However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
wait until it completes.

So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.

This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
change in a reshape.  Then the explicit statement of what direction is
being used will be more useful.

This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.

NeilBrown 050b66152f md/raid10: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.

So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.

This introduces a small problem.  There is no locking around calls
the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request.  So a
device added between these could end up getting a request which
violates its merge_bvec_fn.

Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched().  This will work
providing no preemption happens.  If there is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

NeilBrown dafb20fa34 md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.
md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev.  However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.

Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.

So:
 - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
 - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
   list_for_each_entry,
 - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other

NeilBrown 2d78f8c451 md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.
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

Two related problems:

1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
   without subsequently clearing ->thread.  A subsequent call
   to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.

2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
   disappeared either by:
      - holding the ->mutex
      - having an active request, so something else must be keeping
        the array active.
   However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
   mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
   ->thread could theoretically disappear.
   So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.

So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.

NeilBrown de393cdea6 md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.

If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.

We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.

This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.

It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.

When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).

We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata.   This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed.  Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.

Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.

The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks.  So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

NeilBrown d2eb35acfd md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks.
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
  1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
     the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
     there.
  2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
  3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
     different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
     could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
     device, but can still be served by the array.
     This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
     per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
  4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
     and queue another request for the rest.

This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.

'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.

a read error is better than not having an array at all.

Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"

grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual

So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.

Revert
    b821eaa572
and
    f3b99be19d

When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'.  It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.

So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.

Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.

Without this patch, a sequence of:
   mknod / open / close / unlink

(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.

With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.

This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35.

This flag is not needed and is used badly.

Devices that are included in a native-metadata array are reserved

Devices that are included in external-metadata arrays can be shared

These are bd_claimed for md in general - not for a particular rdev.

When changing the amount of a device that is used in an array we need
to check for overlap.  This currently includes a check on AllReserved
So even without overlap, sharing with an AllReserved device is not
allowed.
However the bd_claim usage already precludes sharing with these
devices, so the test on AllReserved is not needed.  And in fact it is
wrong.

When an md device is in the process of coming on line it is possible
for an IO request (typically a partition table probe) to get through

behaviour (e.g. a crash).

So explicitly record when the array is ready for IO and don't allow IO
through until then.

There is no possibility for a similar problem when the array is going
off-line as there must only be one 'open' at that time, and it is busy
off-lining the array and so cannot send IO requests.  So no memory
barrier is needed in md_stop()

This has been a bug since commit 409c57f380 in 2.6.30 which
introduced md_make_request.  Before then, each personality would

NeilBrown 2b193363ef md: change type of first arg to sync_page_io.
Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'.
Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'.
We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io,
So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it.

Tejun Heo e9c7469bb4 md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.

* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
  processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
  queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.

* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
  logic.  Retry logic is removed.

* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
  be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
  deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
  is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.

For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.

* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
  request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.

* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
  biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
  of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
  writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
  is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.

* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.

linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

NeilBrown 070dc6dd71 md: resolve confusion of MD_CHANGE_CLEAN
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is used for two different purposes and this leads to
confusion.
One of the purposes is largely mirrored by MD_CHANGE_PENDING which is
not used for anything else, so have MD_CHANGE_PENDING take over that
purpose fully.

The two purposes are:
 1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a
   clean/dirty transition.
 2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending
    (something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the
    flag) that the transition is OK.

The first purpose remains wit MD_CHANGE_CLEAN, the second is moved
fully to MD_CHANGE_PENDING.

This means that various places which conditionally set or cleared
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN no longer need to be conditional.

NeilBrown bb4f1e9d0e md: fix another deadlock with removing sysfs attributes.
Move the deletion of sysfs attributes from reconfig_mutex to
open_mutex didn't really help as a process can try to take
open_mutex while holding reconfig_mutex, so the same deadlock can
happen, just requiring one more process to be involved in the chain.

I looks like I cannot easily use locking to wait for the sysfs
deletion to complete, so don't.

The only things that we cannot do while the deletions are still
pending is other things which can change the sysfs namespace: run,
takeover, stop.  Each of these can fail with -EBUSY.
So set a flag while doing a sysfs deletion, and fail run, takeover,
stop if that flag is set.

This is suitable for 2.6.35.x

Christoph Hellwig 7b6d91daee block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request
Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

NeilBrown e384e58549 md/bitmap: prepare for storing write-intent-bitmap via dm-dirty-log.
This allows md/raid5 to fully work as a dm target.

Normally md uses a 'filemap' which contains a list of pages of bits
each of which may be written separately.
dm-log uses and all-or-nothing approach to writing the log, so
when using a dm-log, ->filemap is NULL and the flags normally stored
in filemap_attr are stored in ->logattrs instead.

NeilBrown b63d7c2e29 md/bitmap: clean up plugging calls.
1/ use md_unplug in bitmap.c as we will soon be using bitmaps under
  arrays with no queue attached.

2/ Don't bother plugging the queue when we set a bit in the bitmap.
   The reason for this was to encourage as many bits as possible to
   get set before we unplug and write stuff out.
   However every personality already plugs the queue after
   bitmap_startwrite either directly (raid1/raid10) or be setting
   STRIPE_BIT_DELAY which causes the queue to be plugged later
   (raid5).
