NeilBrown 3a6de2924a md/raid5: Mark device want_replacement when we see a write error.
Now that WantReplacement drives are replaced cleanly, mark a drive
as WantReplacement when we see a write error.  It might get failed soon so
the WantReplacement flag is irrelevant, but if the write error is recorded
in the bad block log, we still want to activate any spare that might
be available.

NeilBrown 7bfec5f35c md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement.
When attempting to add a spare to a RAID[456] array, also consider
adding it as a replacement for a want_replacement device.

This requires that common md code attempt hot_add even when the array
is not formally degraded.

NeilBrown dd054fce88 md/raid5: handle activation of replacement device when recovery completes.
When recovery completes - as reported by a call to ->spare_active,
we clear In_sync on the original and set it on the replacement.

Then when the original gets removed we move the replacement from
'replacement' to 'rdev'.

This could race with other code that is looking at these pointers,
so we use memory barriers and careful ordering to ensure that
a reader might see one device twice, but never no devices.
Then the readers guard against using both devices, which could
only happen when writing.

NeilBrown 9a3e1101b8 md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.
During recovery we want to write to the replacement but not
the original.  So we have two new flags
 - R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to
   be written at some stage
 - R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and
   a 'sync' has been requested on this stripe.

We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read
all other devices, and 'replace' which only needs to read the
devices being replaced.

Note that during resync we always write to any replacement device.
It might not need to be written to, but as we don't read to compare,
we have to write to be sure.

NeilBrown 977df36255 md/raid5: writes should get directed to replacement as well as original.
When writing, we need to submit two writes, one to the original, and
one to the replacement - if there is a replacement.

If the write to the replacement results in a write error, we just fail
the device.  We only try to record write errors to the original.

When writing for recovery, we shouldn't write to the original.  This
will be addressed in a subsequent patch that generally addresses
recovery.

NeilBrown 14a75d3e07 md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible.
If a replacement device is present and has been recovered far enough,
then use it for reading into the stripe cache.

If we get an error we don't try to repair it, we just fail the device.
A replacement device that gives errors does not sound sensible.

This requires removing the setting of R5_ReadError when we get
a read error during a read that bypasses the cache.  It was probably
a bad idea anyway as we don't know that every block in the read
caused an error, and it could cause ReadError to be set for the
replacement device, which is bad.

NeilBrown 671488cc25 md/raid5: allow each slot to have an extra replacement device
Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be
used as a 'replacement' device, replacing the original.
We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head.  This will
only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the
original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios.

For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads.
In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far
enough, otherwise use the original.

This includes a small enhancement.  Previously we would only do
aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered.  Now we also
do them if it has recovered far enough.

NeilBrown 2d78f8c451 md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.
hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.

With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
degraded during the transition.  It can also be use when the original
device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.

This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.

This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
device.  If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.

It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
sysfs.
   "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
   "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
   device.

The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
device, not the replacement.  We currently don't make links for the
replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need.

NeilBrown 476a7abb9b md: remove test for duplicate device when setting slot number.
When setting the slot number on a device in an active array we
currently check that the number is not already in use.
We then call into the personality's hot_add_disk function
which performs the same test and returns the same error.

Thus the common test is not needed.

As we will shortly be changing some personalities to allow duplicates
in some cases (to support hot-replace), the common test will become
inconvenient.

So remove the common test.

NeilBrown 915c420ddf md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap.
For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
   number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.

The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit.  So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.

So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.

In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
more.

NeilBrown 908f4fbd26 md/raid5: be more thorough in calculating 'degraded' value.
When an array is being reshaped to change the number of devices,
the two halves can be differently degraded.  e.g. one could be
missing a device and the other not.

So we need to be more careful about calculating the 'degraded'
attribute.

Instead of just inc/dec at appropriate times, perform a full
re-calculation examining both possible cases.  This doesn't happen
often so it not a big cost, and we already have most of the code to

NeilBrown 961902c0f8 md/bitmap: It is OK to clear bits during recovery.
commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.

When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.

For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits.  However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity.  The only negatives are:
 - next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
   be done.
 - the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.

While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.

So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

NeilBrown 60fc13702a md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add
Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that
might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant.

Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added.
This is a false optimisation.
It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a
subsequent spare might be accepted.
Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.

If we abort early these might not happen properly.

So remove the early abort.

In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

NeilBrown af8a24347f md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access.
When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the
mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which
is refcounted by sysfs.
And we also take the mddev_lock.
However this is not enough.

The final mddev_put could have been called and the
mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy
the kobj and mddev.
In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted.

To to guard against this we:
 - initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be
   easily detected.
 - in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under
   all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to
   be active.

This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we
will get -EBUSY.

rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have
sufficient protection.  They check that rdev->mddev still points to
mddev after taking mddev_lock.  As this is cleared  before delayed
removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this
ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive.

NeilBrown 1d23f178d5 md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL".
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed.
However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it
is needed or not.  We can only tell from recent history of changes.

In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very
similar to immediately after we have finished with it.

So we always preserve a newly created md device until something
significant happens.  This state is stored in 'hold_active'.

The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will
normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it.  If it
doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to
get rid of it.

We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we
currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if
it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed.
However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more
gradual so we should look for a more definitive change.

So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when
the array_state is changed via sysfs.  Other changes via sysfs
are ignored.

This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't

Jonathan E Brassow 2e727c3ca1 dm: raid fix device status indicator when array initializing
When devices in a RAID array are not in-sync, they are supposed to be
reported as such in the status output as an 'a' character, which means
"alive, but not in-sync".  But when the entire array is rebuilt 'A' is
being used, which is incorrect.  This patch corrects this to 'a'.

Jonathan E Brassow 5a25f0eb70 dm log userspace: add log device dependency
Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it
is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies.

When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device
which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications
such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl.  Userspace log devices
don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from
the list of dependencies.

This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to
respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be
registered via 'dm_get_device'.  DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented.

This is backwards compatible.  If the kernel and userspace log server
have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the
kernel and the device will be registered.  If the kernel is new, but
the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device
information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration
as before.  If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log
server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.

Joe Thornber 991d9fa02d dm: add thin provisioning target
Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support.  The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target.  The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices.  This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.

The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).

Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...).  The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth).  This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

Mikulas Patocka 95d402f057 dm: add bufio
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.

We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
* we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
* we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks

Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
available memory.  Usage can be viewed and changed in
/sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .

The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

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 355840e7a7 md/raid5: fix bug that could result in reads from a failed device.
This bug was introduced in 415e72d034
which was in 2.6.36.

There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when
it is removed from the array.  During this time we might still read
from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could
read stale data.

We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on
In_sync is sufficient.  Since we started allowing reads from the early
part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too.

This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch
might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier.

Tao Ma 9562ad9ab3 block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.
bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but
it is broken.

Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the

it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs."

And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine
with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the
only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".

So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu

NeilBrown d30519fc59 md: clear In_sync bit on devices added to an active array.
When we add a device to an active array it can be meaningful to set
the 'insync' flag.  This indicates that the device is in-sync with the
array except for locations recorded in the bitmap.
A bitmap-based recovery can then bring it completely in-sync.

Internally we move that flag to 'saved_raid_disk' but forgot to clear
In_sync like we do in add_new_disk.

So clear In_sync after moving its value to saved_raid_disk.

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.

Mike Snitzer 876fbba1db dm table: avoid crash if integrity profile changes
Commit a63a5cf (dm: improve block integrity support) introduced a
two-phase initialization of a DM device's integrity profile.  This
patch avoids dereferencing a NULL 'template_disk' pointer in
blk_integrity_register() if there is an integrity profile mismatch in
dm_table_set_integrity().

This can occur if the integrity profiles for stacked devices in a DM
table are changed between the call to dm_table_prealloc_integrity() and
dm_table_set_integrity().

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 2585f3ef8c md/bitmap: improve handling of 'allclean'.
The 'allclean' flag is used to cache the fact that there is nothing to
do, so we can avoid waking up and scanning the bitmap regularly.

The two sorts of pages that might need the attention of the bitmap
daemon are BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE pages.

So make sure allclean reflects exactly when there are none of those.
So:
  set it before scanning all pages with either bit set.
  clear it whenever these bits are set
  clear it when we desire not to clear one of these bits.
  don't clear it any other time.

NeilBrown 5a537df44d md/bitmap: rename and tidy up BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN
The flag 'BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN' has a confusing name as it doesn't mean
that the page is clean, but rather that there are counters in the page
which allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared - i.e. maybe cleaning can
happen.

So change it to BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and fix some irregularities:
 - Don't set it in bitmap_init_from_disk as bitmap_set_memory_bits
   sets it when needed
 - in bitmap_daemon_work, if we find a counter that is '1', but
   need_sync is set, then set BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING again (it was
   recently cleared) to ensure we don't forget about this bit.

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.

Christoph Hellwig 5a7bbad27a block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_request
There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.
