This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes.
This time I use workqueue.
raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size
aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a
state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks
of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The
state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one
thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is
multi-threading.
To get better performance, we have some requirements:
a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better
handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some
times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy.
local node running has wide adaptability.
b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent
configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean
better performance because of lock contentions.
My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are
interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And
userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility
and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool
implementation is disfavor.
Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be
bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to
do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in
affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running
thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node.
stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread
of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way,
stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread
number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical
work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the
unit is a stripe. But we can't do that:
a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting
and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make
workqueue lock contended very heavily.
b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we
might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block
plug is meaningless.
This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa
binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads.
Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might
decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends
on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might
not be proper for all setups.

release_stripe still has big lock contention. We just add the stripe to a llist
without taking device_lock. We let the raid5d thread to do the real stripe
release, which must hold device_lock anyway. In this way, release_stripe
doesn't hold any locks.
The side effect is the released stripes order is changed. But sounds not a big
deal, stripes are never handled in order. And I thought block layer can already
do nice request merge, which means order isn't that important.
I kept the unplug release batch, which is unnecessary with this patch from lock
contention avoid point of view, and actually if we delete it, the stripe_head
release_list and lru can share storage. But the unplug release batch is also
helpful for request merge. We probably can delay wakeup raid5d till unplug, but
I'm still afraid of the case which raid5d is running.

If a device in a RAID4/5/6 is being replaced while another is being
recovered, then the writes to the replacement device currently don't
happen, resulting in corruption when the replacement completes and the
new drive takes over.
This is because the replacement writes are only triggered when
's.replacing' is set and not when the similar 's.sync' is set (which
is the case during resync and recovery - it means all devices need to
be read).
So schedule those writes when s.replacing is set as well.
In this case we cannot use "STRIPE_INSYNC" to record that the
replacement has happened as that is needed for recording that any
parity calculation is complete. So introduce STRIPE_REPLACED to
record if the replacement has happened.
For safety we should also check that STRIPE_COMPUTE_RUN is not set.
This has a similar effect to the "s.locked == 0" test. The latter
ensure that now IO has been flagged but not started. The former
checks if any parity calculation has been flagged by not started.
We must wait for both of these to complete before triggering the
'replace'.
Add a similar test to the subsequent check for "are we finished yet".
This possibly isn't needed (is subsumed in the STRIPE_INSYNC test),
but it makes it more obvious that the REPLACE will happen before we
think we are finished.
Finally if a NeedReplace device is not UPTODATE then that is an
error. We really must trigger a warning.
This bug was introduced in commit 9a3e1101b8
(md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.)
which introduced replacement for raid5.
That was in 3.3-rc3, so any stable kernel since then would benefit
from this fix.

A number of problems can occur due to races between
resync/recovery and discard.
- if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is
happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event
before all of the individual discard requests have completed
(so some devices are still locked, but not all).
Since commit ca64cae960
md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished.
this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device,
so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other
devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared.
This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up.
- If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward
time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks
in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is
one).
So:
- keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have
completed their discard request
- make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at
the same time.
This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is
happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a
discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up
the discard at the appropriate time.
Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for
any -stable kernel since 3.7.

Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is
small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and
write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard
must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk
but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out
fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6
should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the
write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size
is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in
practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size
equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to
stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size.
Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or
part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee
zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level
drives.
The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even
correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out.
For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if
zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after
discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario:
discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The
stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data
from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the
disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable
discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard.
If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue
above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal
write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make
the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data
consistency is important.
If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded
stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is
consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request
stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such
payload. Next patch will avoid it.

Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce
lock contention of conf->device_lock.
stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock. Accessing bio
list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the
lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like
ops_run_biofill()) not race.
If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we
don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will
protect them. If the bio are shared, there are two protections:
1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count
2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio
not belonging to the stripe
Let's have an example:
| stripe1 | stripe2 | stripe3 |
...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4.....
stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for
all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to
bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2
because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and
stripe3 will end_bio bio4.
before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio
bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

->towrite are checked it is safer for now at least.

* 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

The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).
By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6

The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy

The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case
except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others

STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
- copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
- generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
- copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT
- recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
- verify that the parity is correct
The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely:
1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct)
2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate)
3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks)

some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the
constant metadata update is pointless.
So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
writing 'new-layout' data.

Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
underway.
This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.
Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value
is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
reshape starts.

During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are
'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are
'after'. They are currently differentiated by having different
->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing
the number of disks.
However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number
of disks (chunk parity or chunk size). So make the difference more
explicit with a 'generation' number.

When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape
process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the
beginning. So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo
differently.
This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the
implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and
every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right
way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.
