Daniel P. Berrange 2dba6a911c md: don't delay reboot by 1 second if no MD devices exist
The md_notify_reboot() method includes a call to mdelay(1000),
to deal with "exotic SCSI devices" which are too volatile on
reboot. The delay is unconditional. Even if the machine does
not have any block devices, let alone MD devices, the kernel
shutdown sequence is slowed down.

1 second does not matter much with physical hardware, but with
certain virtualization use cases any wasted time in the bootup
& shutdown sequence counts for alot.

* drivers/md/md.c: md_notify_reboot() - only impose a delay if
  there was at least one MD device to be stopped during reboot

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 27a7b260f7 md: Fix handling for devices from 2TB to 4TB in 0.90 metadata.
0.90 metadata uses an unsigned 32bit number to count the number of
kilobytes used from each device.
This should allow up to 4TB per device.
However we multiply this by 2 (to get sectors) before casting to a
larger type, so sizes above 2TB get truncated.

Also we allow rdev->sectors to be larger than 4TB, so it is possible
for the array to be resized larger than the metadata can handle.
So make sure rdev->sectors never exceeds 4TB when 0.90 metadata is in
used.

Also the sanity check at the end of super_90_load should include level
1 as it used ->size too. (RAID0 and Linear don't use ->size at all).

When the 'blocked' flag on a device is cleared while there are
unacknowledged bad blocks we must fail the device.  This is needed for
backwards compatability of the interface.

The code currently uses the wrong test for "unacknowledged bad blocks

Namhyung Kim a5bf4df0c8 md: use REQ_NOIDLE flag in md_super_write()
Queue idling is used for the anticipation of immediate
sequencial I/O's but md_super_write() is a kind of one-
shot operation, coupled with md_super_wait(), so the
idling in this case will be just a waste of time.

Specifying REQ_NOIDLE prevents it. Instead of adding
the flag to submit_bio() directly, use pre-defined
macro WRITE_FLUSH_FUA.

Sometimes a device will refuse to be set faulty.  e.g. RAID1 will

So check if "md_error()" did manage to set the faulty flag and fail
with EBUSY if it didn't.

NeilBrown e875ecea26 md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery.
When recovering one or more devices, if all the good devices have
bad blocks we should record a bad block on the device being rebuilt.

If this fails, we need to abort the recovery.

To ensure we don't think that we aborted later than we actually did,
we need to move the check for MD_RECOVERY_INTR earlier in md_do_sync,
in particular before mddev->curr_resync is updated.

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.

NeilBrown 5389042ffa md: change managed of recovery_disabled.
If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.

Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1.  For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.

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'.

This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.

NeilBrown 4274215d24 md: avoid endless recovery loop when waiting for fail device to complete.
If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.

We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare.  This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.

This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any
kernel since then.

Add the 'sync_super' function pointer to MD array structure (struct mddev_s)

If device-mapper (dm-raid.c) is to define its own on-disk superblock and be
able to load it, there must still be a way for MD to initiate superblock
updates.  The simplest way to make this happen is to provide a pointer in
the MD array structure that can be set by device-mapper (or other module)
with a function to do this.  If the function has been set, it will be used;
otherwise, the method with be looked up via 'super_types' as usual.

Moving the wakeup's of the personality and sync/recovery threads out of

1) It allows bitmap_load to be called before the sync_thread is run and
2) when MD personalities are used by device-mapper (dm-raid.c), the start-up
of the array is better alligned with device-mapper primatives

not happen until after a resume has taken place.

NeilBrown b098636cf0 md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.
The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp),
records where a resync is up to.  A value of 0 means the array is
not known to be in-sync at all.  A value of MaxSector means the array
is believed to be fully in-sync.

When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is
increased, the array can be increased to match.  This process sets
resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of
the array gets resynced.

However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary
and may be undesirable.  So it would be good if the implied resync
after the array is resized could be avoided.

So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array
is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while
resync/recovery is 'frozen'.  Changing it once resync has started is
not going to be useful anyway.

This allows the array to be resized without a resync by:
  write 'frozen' to 'sync_action'
  write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start)
  write 'none' to 'resync_start'
  write 'idle' to 'sync_action'.

Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing
raid1/raid5.  Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be
more careful in our tests.

NeilBrown bedd86b777 md: reject a re-add request that cannot be honoured.
The 'add_new_disk' ioctl can be used to add a device either as a
spare, or as an active disk that just needs to be resynced based on
write-intent-bitmap information (re-add)

Currently if a re-add is requested but fails we add as a spare
instead.  This makes it impossible for user-space to check for
failure.

So change to require that a re-add attempt will either succeed or
completely fail.  User-space can then decide what to do next.

NeilBrown b0140891a8 md: Fix race when creating a new md device.
There is a race when creating an md device by opening /dev/mdXX.

If two processes do this at much the same time they will follow the
call path
  __blkdev_get -> get_gendisk -> kobj_lookup

The first will call
  -> md_probe -> md_alloc -> add_disk -> blk_register_region

and the race happens when the second gets to kobj_lookup after
add_disk has called blk_register_region but before it returns to
md_alloc.

In the case the second will not call md_probe (as the probe is already
done) but will get a handle on the gendisk, return to __blkdev_get
which will then call md_open (via the ->open) pointer.

As mddev->gendisk hasn't been set yet, md_open will think something is
wrong an return with ERESTARTSYS.

This can loop endlessly while the first thread makes no progress
through add_disk.  Nothing is blocking it, but due to scheduler
behaviour it doesn't get a turn.
So this is essentially a live-lock.

We fix this by simply moving the assignment to mddev->gendisk before
the call the add_disk() so md_open doesn't get confused.
Also move blk_queue_flush earlier because add_disk should be as late
as possible.

To make sure that md_open doesn't complete until md_alloc has done all
that is needed, we take mddev->open_mutex during the last part of
md_alloc.  md_open will wait for this.

This can cause a lock-up on boot so Cc:ing for stable.
For 2.6.36 and earlier a different patch will be needed as the
'blk_queue_flush' call isn't there.

NeilBrown 97658cdd3a md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.

If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.

NeilBrown 482c083492 md - remove old plugging code.
md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when
called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available.

This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more.

So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5.  Subsequent patches

Martin K. Petersen a91a2785b2 block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

NeilBrown f0b4f7e2f2 md: Fix - again - partition detection when array becomes active
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.

NeilBrown 8f5f02c460 md: correctly handle probe of an 'mdp' device.
'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.

this causes  md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.

However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.

So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

NeilBrown cbe6ef1d26 md: don't set_capacity before array is active.
If the desired size of an array is set (via sysfs) before the array is
active (which is the normal sequence), we currrently call set_capacity
immediately.
This means that a subsequent 'open' (as can be caused by some
udev-triggers program) will notice the new size and try to probe for
partitions.  However as the array isn't quite ready yet the read will
fail.  Then when the array is read, as the size doesn't change again
we don't try to re-probe.

So when setting array size via sysfs, only call set_capacity if the
array is already active.

Chris Mason e91ece5590 md_make_request: don't touch the bio after calling make_request
md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add
after it was calling the make_request function.  This is
bad because the make_request function can free the bio and
because the bi_size field can change around.

The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe.  It saves the
sector count before the make_request call.  I hit this
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break
his pretty fusionio card.
