NeilBrown 57c67df488 md/raid10: submit IO from originating thread instead of md thread.
queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the
one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request
rates.

So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug.
If a 'schedule' is needed, we fall back on the old approach of handing
the requests to the thread for it to handle.

This is nearly identical to a recent patch which provided similar
functionality to RAID1.

Shaohua Li 532a2a3fba md: raid 10 supports TRIM
This makes md raid 10 support TRIM.

If one disk supports discard and another not, or one has
discard_zero_data and another not, there could be inconsistent between
data from such disks. But this should not matter, discarded data is
useless. This will add extra copy in rebuild though.

NeilBrown 80b4812407 md/raid10: fix "enough" function for detecting if array is failed.
The 'enough' function is written to work with 'near' arrays only
in that is implicitly assumes that the offset from one 'group' of
devices to the next is the same as the number of copies.
In reality it is the number of 'near' copies.

So change it to make this number explicit.

This bug makes it possible to run arrays without enough drives
present, which is dangerous.
It is appropriate for an -stable kernel, but will almost certainly
need to be modified for some of them.

NeilBrown e0ee778528 md/raid10: fix problem with on-stack allocation of r10bio structure.
A 'struct r10bio' has an array of per-copy information at the end.
This array is declared with size [0] and r10bio_pool_alloc allocates
enough extra space to store the per-copy information depending on the
number of copies needed.

So declaring a 'struct r10bio on the stack isn't going to work.  It
won't allocate enough space, and memory corruption will ensue.

So in the two places where this is done, declare a sufficiently large
structure and use that instead.

The two call-sites of this bug were introduced in 3.4 and 3.5
so this is suitable for both those kernels.  The patch will have to
be modified for 3.4 as it only has one bug.

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 b357f04a67 md: fix up plugging (again).
The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the
next 'schedule' as that will unplug things.  This could happen at any
call to mempool_alloc.
So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make
sense.

So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread.
As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes
lots of sense.
If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we
wake thread immediately.

RAID5 is a bit different.  Requests are queued for the thread and the
thread is woken by release_stripe.  So we don't need to wake the
thread on failure.
However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any
active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the
thread.  So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request
and waking the thread.

Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a
request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking
up.

Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not
active plugs, just like raid1.

This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later.  I plan to submit it to
-stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline
first to be sure it is completely safe.

NeilBrown 3ea7daa5d7 md/raid10: add reshape support
A 'near' or 'offset' lay RAID10 array can be reshaped to a different
'near' or 'offset' layout, a different chunk size, and a different
number of devices.
However the number of copies cannot change.

Unlike RAID5/6, we do not support having user-space backup data that
is being relocated during a 'critical section'.  Rather, the
data_offset of each device must change so that when writing any block
to a new location, it will not over-write any data that is still
'live'.

This means that RAID10 reshape is not supportable on v0.90 metadata.

The different between the old data_offset and the new_offset must be
at least the larger of the chunksize multiplied by offset copies of
each of the old and new layout. (for 'near' mode, offset_copies == 1).

A larger difference of around 64M seems useful for in-place reshapes
as more data can be moved between metadata updates.
Very large differences (e.g. 512M) seem to slow the process down due
to lots of long seeks (on oldish consumer graded devices at least).

Metadata needs to be updated whenever the place we are about to write
to is considered - by the current metadata - to still contain data in
the old layout.

Note that 'copies' is not in this struct and so cannot be changed.

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.

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.

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an

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 d6b42dcb99 md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.
If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current->bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

NeilBrown 7fcc7c8acf md/raid10: Fix bug when activating a hot-spare.
This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10.

When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the
spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first
working device.
This is likely to make the array non-functional.   It would normally
be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not
guaranteed.

This bug was introduced in commit
   2bb77736ae

NeilBrown d890fa2b05 md: Fix some bugs in recovery_disabled handling.
In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead
of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf->
value.
Two problems:
  1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'.
  2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation
     time.
     It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they
     could appear equal and thus disable recovery.
     This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array
     which changes the mddev value.  However the dmraid interface
     doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at
     array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled.

So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so
the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

NeilBrown 34db0cd60f md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread.  This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.

However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput.  The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).

So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests.  By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable.  Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.

NeilBrown 01f96c0a99 md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.
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 19d5f834d6 md/raid10: unify handling of write completion.
A write can complete at two different places:
1/ when the last member-device write completes, through
   raid10_end_write_request
2/ in make_request() when we remove the initial bias from ->remaining.

These two should do exactly the same thing and the comment says they
do, but they don't.

So factor the correct code out into a function and call it in both
places.  This makes the code much more similar to RAID1.

The difference is only significant if there is an error, and they
usually take a while, so it is unlikely that there will be an error
already when make_request is completing, so this is unlikely to cause
real problems.

This patch just covers the basic read path:
 1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only
    the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available
    there.
 2/ 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'

On read error we currently just fail the request if another target
cannot handle the whole request.  Next patch refines that a bit.

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.

As no personality understand bad block lists yet, we must
reject any device that is known to contain bad blocks.
As the personalities get taught, these tests can be removed.

This only applies to raid1/raid5/raid10.
For linear/raid0/multipath/faulty the whole concept of bad blocks
doesn't mean anything so there is no point adding the checks.

Normally we would fail a device with a READ error.  However if doing
so causes the array to fail, it is better to leave the device
in place and just return the read error to the caller.

The current test for decide if the array will fail is overly

Krzysztof Wojcik 02214dc546 FIX: md: process hangs at wait_barrier after 0->10 takeover
Following symptoms were observed:
1. After raid0->raid10 takeover operation we have array with 2
missing disks.
When we add disk for rebuild, recovery process starts as expected
but it does not finish- it stops at about 90%, md126_resync process
hangs in "D" state.
2. Similar behavior is when we have mounted raid0 array and we
execute takeover to raid10. After this when we try to unmount array-
it causes process umount hangs in "D"

In scenarios above processes hang at the same function- wait_barrier
in raid10.c.
Process waits in macro "wait_event_lock_irq" until the
"!conf->barrier" condition will be true.
In scenarios above it never happens.

Reason was that at the end of level_store, after calling pers->run,
we call mddev_resume. This calls pers->quiesce(mddev, 0) with
RAID10, that calls lower_barrier.
However raise_barrier hadn't been called on that 'conf' yet,
so conf->barrier becomes negative, which is bad.

This patch introduces setting conf->barrier=1 after takeover
operation. It prevents to become barrier negative after call
lower_barrier().

NeilBrown 589a594be1 md: protect against NULL reference when waiting to start a raid10.
When we fail to start a raid10 for some reason, we call
md_unregister_thread to kill the thread that was created.

Unfortunately md_thread() will then make one call into the handler
(raid10d) even though md_wakeup_thread has not been called.  This is
not safe and as md_unregister_thread is called after mddev->private
has been set to NULL, it will definitely cause a NULL dereference.

So fix this at both ends:
 - md_thread should only call the handler if THREAD_WAKEUP has been
   set.
 - raid10 should call md_unregister_thread before setting things
   to NULL just like all the other raid modules do.

This is applicable to 2.6.35 and later.

NeilBrown 4e78064f42 md: Fix possible deadlock with multiple mempool allocations.
It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item
previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the
mempool is close to exhaustion.

So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple
devices in raid1 and raid10.
Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.

This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting
any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and
possible handle the write completion at that point.

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.

NeilBrown e93f68a1fc md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.
Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).

This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.

Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.

So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

In a subsequent patch we will make it possible to change
mddev->raid_disks while a RAID0 or RAID10 array is active.  This is
part of the process of reshaping such an array.

This means that we cannot use this value while processes requests
(it is OK to use it during initialisation as we are locked against
changes then).
Both RAID0 and RAID10 have the same value stored in the private data
structure, so use that value instead.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

NeilBrown 627a2d3c29 md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better.
If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.

So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.

This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

Robert Becker 1e50915fe0 raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors.
We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.

With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts.  Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.

In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.

For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

NeilBrown a2826aa92e md: support barrier requests on all personalities.
Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1.  This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.

When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device.  When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty -  we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.

The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.

The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail.  If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail.  That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.

RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet.  So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.

Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted.  Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.

That will be done in later patches.

Andre Noll ac5e7113e7 md: Push down data integrity code to personalities.
This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just

This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without

if the array will still be degraded.

NeilBrown 409c57f380 md: enable suspend/resume of md devices.
To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.

The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.

So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.

There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module
code).

completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed.  So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.

Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.

address, and makes sure all copies are the same.  Recover walks
through 'device' addresses and recreates each missing block.

The 'bitmap_cond_end_sync' function allows the write-intent-bitmap
(When present) to be updated to reflect a partially completed resync.
It makes assumptions which mean that it does not work correctly for
raid10 recovery at all.

In particularly, it can cause bitmap-directed recovery of a raid10 to
not recovery some of the blocks that need to be recovered.

So move the call to bitmap_cond_end_sync into the resync path, rather
than being in the common "resync or recovery" path.

NeilBrown 09b4068a7f md/raid10: Don't skip more than 1 bitmap-chunk at a time during recovery.
When doing recovery on a raid10 with a write-intent bitmap, we only
need to recovery chunks that are flagged in the bitmap.

However if we choose to skip a chunk as it isn't flag, the code
currently skips the whole raid10-chunk, thus it might not recovery
some blocks that need recovering.

This patch fixes it.

In case that is confusing, it might help to understand that there
is a 'raid10 chunk size' which guides how data is distributed across
the devices, and a 'bitmap chunk size' which says how much data
corresponds to a single bit in the bitmap.

This bug only affects cases where the bitmap chunk size is smaller
than the raid10 chunk size.

Cheng Renquan 159ec1fc06 md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

NeilBrown 4bbf3771ca md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.
Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.

This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or
changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.

For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe.  For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.

So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just
the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6.

Tejun Heo c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

NeilBrown 0310fa216d Allow raid10 resync to happening in larger chunks.
The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of
in-flight resync IO to 2Meg.  This was copied from raid1 where
it seems quite adequate.  However for raid10, some layouts require
a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer
size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced.

There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight
IO at all.  Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the
amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any
concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off.

The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO
to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant
latency when normal IO starts up.

So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is
available) which seems to be a good amount.  Also reduce the amount
of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if
memory is tight.

Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

For linear, it returns 0 on success and -errno on failure.

Neil Brown 8c2e870a62 Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap)
If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.

Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used.  In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.

This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.

So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.

If you might have an array like that, issueing
   echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action

will make sure recovery completes properly.

NeilBrown dfc7064500 md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.

For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.

We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
    information.

The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.

Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
    parallel.

Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
  a/ this requires least code change
  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

K.Tanaka a07e6ab41b md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlock
This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the
2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework.

Abstract:

When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the
resync threads of md RAID10 could stall.

This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter.  But
I think stall is not preferable.  If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will
fail because of resource busy.

The deadlock mechanism:

The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to
be handled when recovering.  The "remaining" counter is incremented when
building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in
end_sync_write().

If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining"
should be decremented if it has already been incremented.  I found a case
where this decrement is forgotten.  This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock
because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but
end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter
mismatch.

For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case:

Personalities : [raid10]
md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_]
      [>....................]  recovery =  2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec

This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled.
An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock.

md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__]
      [=>...................]  recovery =  5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec

 2739 ?        S<     0:17 [md0_raid10]
28608 ?        D<     0:00 [md0_resync]

28830 pts/1    R+     0:00 ps ax
31819 ?        D<     0:00 [kjournald]

The resync thread keeps working, but actually it is deadlocked.

By this patch, the remaining counter will be decremented if needed.

Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for
another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing.

If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync
request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync
progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes.  Thus
a deadlock.

Keld Simonsen 8ed3a19563 md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layouts
This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the
disk with the lowest block address.

Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from
the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting
of the first band of stripes.

Some advantages:

The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be
used.  The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the
inner blocks.

Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the
first part of the disks.

Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as
they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks
involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk.

If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the
lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

NeilBrown a35e63efa1 md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read error
When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while
attempting to over-write with correct data.

This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO
to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry
queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze).

However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be
required.  This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to
finish that themselves need attention from raid1d.

So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and
call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

Thanks to "K.Tanaka" <k-tanaka@ce.jp.nec.com> for finding and reporting this
problem.

NeilBrown b47490c9bc md: Update md bitmap during resync.
Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync.  Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.

This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.

However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap.  Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

NeilBrown 4ad1366376 md: change bitmap_unplug and others to void functions
bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void.  Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.

write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked.  It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.

When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.

bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.

So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

NeilBrown 64a742bc61 [PATCH] md: fix raid10 recovery problem.
There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10
when used in 'far' more (not the default).

Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in
garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the
range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail.

The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it
should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause
a write to a random block address and probably a device error.

The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so
this has been tided up a bit.

NeilBrown 2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in
the r10_bio so we don't re-try it.  During resync, we always read all blocks,
so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that
we found (assuming we found one).

Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way.  There
is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case.  If there are 3 or more copies,
then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a
bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.

NeilBrown 0a27ec96b6 [PATCH] md: improve raid10 "IO Barrier" concept
raid10 needs to put up a barrier to new requests while it does resync or other
background recovery.  The code for this is currently open-coded, slighty
obscure by its use of two waitqueues, and not documented.

This patch gathers all the related code into 4 functions, and includes a
comment which (hopefully) explains what is happening.

NeilBrown 22dfdf5212 [PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'
raid10 has two different layouts.  One uses near-copies (so multiple
copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different
devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices).  The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.

Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance.  So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.

With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0
with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still
very slow.

Jens Axboe a362357b6c [BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arrays
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

Al Viro dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

'this_sector' is a virtual (array) address while 'head_position' is a physical
(device) address, so substraction doesn't make any sense.  devs[slot].addr
should be used instead of this_sector.

However, this patch doesn't make much practical different to the read
balancing due to the effects of later code.

NeilBrown 3d310eb7b3 [PATCH] md: fix deadlock due to md thread processing delayed requests.
Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.

The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.

However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.

So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.

This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

NeilBrown 57afd89f98 [PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_request
1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
 from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
 The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
 in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
 the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
 Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
 0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
 that it skipped the sectors.  This allows md to take this into account
 in the speed calculations.
 Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
 that is coming will use this.
