raid10 splits requests in two different ways for two different
reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits with a chunk.
Second, multiple r10bio structures are allocated to represent the
different sections that need to go to different devices, to avoid
known bad blocks.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not to use
multiple r10bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r10bio, and then split the bio and queue
the remainder for later handling.
As with raid1, we allocate a new bio_set to help with the splitting.
It is not correct to use fs_bio_set in a device driver.

handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

Use resize_stripes() instead of raid5_reset_stripe_cache() to allocate

raid5_reset_stripe_cache() required suspending the mddev and could
deadlock because of GFP_KERNEL allocations.
Move the 'newsize' check to check_reshape() to allow reallocating the
stripes with the same number of disks. Allocate sh->ppl_page in
alloc_stripe() instead of grow_buffers(). Pass 'struct r5conf *conf' as
a parameter to alloc_stripe() because it is needed to check whether to
allocate ppl_page. Add free_stripe() and use it to free stripes rather
than directly call kmem_cache_free(). Also free sh->ppl_page in
free_stripe().
Set MD_HAS_PPL at the end of ppl_init_log() instead of explicitly
setting it in advance and add another parameter to log_init() to allow
calling ppl_init_log() without the bit set. Don't try to calculate
partial parity or add a stripe to log if it does not have ppl_page set.
Enabling ppl can now be performed without suspending the mddev, because
the log won't be used until new stripes are allocated with ppl_page.
Calling mddev_suspend/resume is still necessary when disabling ppl,
because we want all stripes to finish before stopping the log, but
resize_stripes() can be called after mddev_resume() when ppl is no
longer active.

fix_sync_read_error() modifies a bio on a newly faulty
device by setting bi_end_io to end_sync_write.
This ensure that put_buf() will still call rdev_dec_pending()
as required, but makes sure that subsequent code in
fix_sync_read_error() doesn't try to read from the device.
Unfortunately this interacts badly with sync_request_write()
which assumes that any bio with bi_end_io set to non-NULL
other than end_sync_read is safe to write to.
As the device is now faulty it doesn't make sense to write.
As the bio was recently used for a read, it is "dirty"
and not suitable for immediate submission.
In particular, ->bi_next might be non-NULL, which will cause
generic_make_request() to complain.
Break this interaction by refusing to write to devices
which are marked as Faulty.

When recoverying a single missing/failed device in a RAID6,
those stripes where the Q block is on the missing device are
handled a bit differently. In these cases it is easy to
check that the P block is correct, so we do. This results
in the P block be destroy. Consequently the P block needs
to be read a second time in order to compute Q. This causes
lots of seeks and hurts performance.
It shouldn't be necessary to re-read P as it can be computed
from the DATA. But we only compute blocks on missing
devices, since c337869d95 ("md: do not compute parity
unless it is on a failed drive").
So relax the change made in that commit to allow computing
of the P block in a RAID6 which it is the only missing that
block.
This makes RAID6 recovery run much faster as the disk just
"before" the recovering device is no longer seeking
back-and-forth.

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().

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

This involves attaching it to a sequence of stripe_heads, and it may not

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

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.

We currently gather bios that need to be returned into a bio_list
and call bio_endio() on them all together.
The original reason for this was to avoid making the calls while
holding a spinlock.
Locking has changed a lot since then, and that reason is no longer
valid.
So discard return_io() and various return_bi lists, and just call
bio_endio() directly as needed.

If a device fails during a write, we must ensure the failure is
recorded in the metadata before the completion of the write 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.
