* async_pq: kill a stray dma_map() call and other cleanupsDan Williams2009-10-19

* raid6/async_tx: handle holes in block list in async_syndrome_valNeilBrown2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | async_syndrome_val check the P and Q blocks used for RAID6 calculations. With DDF raid6, some of the data blocks might be NULL, so this needs to be handled in the same way that async_gen_syndrome handles it. As async_syndrome_val calls async_xor, also enhance async_xor to detect and skip NULL blocks in the list. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/async: don't pass a memory pointer as a page pointer.NeilBrown2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines, which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address for CPU based calculations. For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages. For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros. For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the hardware. Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a 'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly. So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks. When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

* md: Fix handling of raid5 array which is being reshaped to fewer devices.NeilBrown2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices, conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices. However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes. Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always 'new' i.e. ->raid_disks. Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places. This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices. md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

* md/raid456: downlevel multicore operations to raid_run_opsDan Williams2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048 ...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for further multicore experimentation.

* md: raid1/raid10: handle allocation errors during array setup.NeilBrown2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both raid1 and raid10 create a mempool during startup. If the 'alloc' function for this mempool fails, unplug_slaves is called. If that happens when the pool is being initialised, unplug_slaves will try to use the 'conf' structure that isn't filled in yet, and badness will happen. So ensure that unplug_slaves doesn't get called unless we know that the conf structure if fully initialised. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: initialize conf->device_lock earlierDan Williams2009-10-16

* md/raid1/raid10: add a cond_reschedNeilBrown2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | During 'check' of a raid1 or raid10 it is possible for the management thread to spend a lot of time running 'memcmp' on blocks from different devices, so make sure the thread has a chance to schedule. raid5d already has a cond_resched (in process_stripe).
