* block: remove per-queue pluggingJens Axboe2011-03-10
| | | | | | | | Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* md: don't abort checking spares as soon as one cannot be added.NeilBrown2011-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | As spares can be added manually before a reshape starts, we need to find them all to mark some of them as in_sync. Previously we would abort looking for spares when we found an unallocated spare what could not be added to the array (implying there was no room for new spares). However already-added spares could be later in the list, so we need to keep searching. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: fix the test for finding spares in raid5_start_reshape.NeilBrown2011-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As spares can be added to the array before the reshape is started, we need to find and count them when checking there are enough. The array could have been degraded, so we need to check all devices, no just those out side of the range of devices in the array before the reshape. So instead of checking the index, check the In_sync flag as that reliably tells if the device is a spare or this purpose. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: simplify some 'if' conditionals in raid5_start_reshape.NeilBrown2011-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two consecutive 'if' statements. if (mddev->delta_disks >= 0) .... if (mddev->delta_disks > 0) The code in the second is equally valid if delta_disks == 0, and these two statements are the only place that 'added_devices' is used. So make them a single if statement, make added_devices a local variable, and re-indent it all. No functional change. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: handle manually-added spares in start_reshape.NeilBrown2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | It is possible to manually add spares to specific slots before starting a reshape. raid5_start_reshape should recognised this possibility and include it in the accounting. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Don't let implementation detail of curr_resync leak out through sysfs.NeilBrown2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mddev->curr_resync has artificial values of '1' and '2' which are used by the code which ensures only one resync is happening at a time on any given device. These values are internal and should never be exposed to user-space (except when translated appropriately as in the 'pending' status in /proc/mdstat). Unfortunately they are as ->curr_resync is assigned to ->curr_resync_completed and that value is directly visible through sysfs. So change the assignments to ->curr_resync_completed to get the same valued from elsewhere in a form that doesn't have the magic '1' or '2' values. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* md: use separate bio pool for each md device.NeilBrown2010-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool. If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on the pool can cause deadlocks. So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather than the common pool. This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: use sector_t in bitmap_get_counterNeilBrown2010-10-28

* md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA supportTejun Heo2010-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

* md/raid5: don't include 'spare' drives when reshaping to fewer devices.NeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are few situations where it would make any sense to add a spare when reducing the number of devices in an array, but it is conceivable: A 6 drive RAID6 with two missing devices could be reshaped to a 5 drive RAID6, and a spare could become available just in time for the reshape, but not early enough to have been recovered first. 'freezing' recovery can make this easy to do without any races. However doing such a thing is a bad idea. md will not record the partially-recovered state of the 'spare' and when the reshape finished it will think that the spare is still spare. Easiest way to avoid this confusion is to simply disallow it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: add a missing 'continue' in a loop.NeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the comment says, the tail of this loop only applies to devices that are not fully in sync, so if In_sync was set, we should avoid the rest of the loop. This bug will hardly ever cause an actual problem. The worst it can do is allow an array to be assembled that is dirty and degraded, which is not generally a good idea (without warning the sysadmin first). This will only happen if the array is RAID4 or a RAID5/6 in an intermediate state during a reshape and so has one drive that is all 'parity' - no data - while some other device has failed. This is certainly possible, but not at all common. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: Allow recovered part of partially recovered devices to be in-syncNeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | During a recovery of reshape the early part of some devices might be in-sync while the later parts are not. We we know we are looking at an early part it is good to treat that part as in-sync for stripe calculations. This is particularly important for a reshape which suffers device failure. Treating the data as in-sync can mean the difference between data-safety and data-loss. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: More careful check for "has array failed".NeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are reshaping an array, the device failure combinations that cause us to decide that the array as failed are more subtle. In particular, any 'spare' will be fully in-sync in the section of the array that has already been reshaped, thus failures that affect only that section are less critical. So encode this subtlety in a new function and call it as appropriate. The case that showed this problem was a 4 drive RAID5 to 8 drive RAID6 conversion where the last two devices failed. This resulted in: good good good good incomplete good good failed failed while converting a 5-drive RAID6 to 8 drive RAID5 The incomplete device causes the whole array to look bad, bad as it was actually good for the section that had been converted to 8-drives, all the data was actually safe.

* md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices.NeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds from the end of the devices to the beginning. If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare) we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset number would be measured from the wrong end of the device. Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active to incorporate it in the array. This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario: A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined operation. The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that spare as it progresses. The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from it, but must not because there is no valid data. If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

* md/raid5: avoid oops when number of devices is reduced then increased.NeilBrown2010-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The entries in the stripe_cache maintained by raid5 are enlarged when we increased the number of devices in the array, but not shrunk when we reduce the number of devices. So if entries are added after reducing the number of devices, we much ensure to initialise the whole entry, not just the part that is currently relevant. Otherwise if we enlarge the array again, we will reference uninitialised values. As grow_buffers/shrink_buffer now want to use a count that is stored explicity in the raid_conf, they should get it from there rather than being passed it as a parameter.

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30

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.

* | md: manage redundancy group in sysfs when changing level.NeilBrown2010-05-17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some levels expect the 'redundancy group' to be present, others don't. So when we change level of an array we might need to add or remove this group. This requires fixing up the current practice of overloading ->private to indicate (when ->pers == NULL) that something needs to be removed. So create a new ->to_remove to fill that role. When changing levels, we may need to add or remove attributes. When changing RAID5 -> RAID6, we both add and remove the same thing. It is important to catch this and optimise it out as the removal is delayed until a lock is released, so trying to add immediately would cause problems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add __percpu sparse annotations to places which didn't make it in one of the previous patches. All converions are trivial. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

* | md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs.NeilBrown2010-02-09

As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while removing those attributes a deadlock can occur. This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock. Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held. This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad. In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock. This call is only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set. However we can be sure that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code was originally written. This is because do_md_run is called in three different contexts: 1/ from md_ioctl. This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it fails if ->gendisk is not set. 2/ from writing a sysfs attribute. This can only happen if the mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc after ->gendisk has been set. 3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array. So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on ->gendisk can also go. In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop, purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the component rdevs) to complete. However there really isn't any need to wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important ways. The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names while the lock is held. There is already some infrastructure in place to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using schedule_work). So extend that infrastructure to remove the raid5_attrs_group. This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs "s_active" lock. The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.
