| * block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* | md: bitmap: improve bitmap maintenance code.NeilBrown2009-05-25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared has 2 problems: 1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make more sense to just hold on to it most of the time. 2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections of the bitmap This patch fixes those. It will only affect CPU consumption, not correctness. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t.

* md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap.NeilBrown2009-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this can sometimes fail. Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call to write_page. This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for -stable. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed.NeilBrown2009-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or reshape) has been completed. However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes, it is not certain to be accurate. We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate). So: - make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often, particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata - report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file - allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed. This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Make mddev->size sector-based.Andre Noll2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors" and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of 1K-blocks in it. All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two. In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

* md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after ↵NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a crash Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a partially completed drive recovery. However we only update that record on a clean shutdown. It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an unclean shutdown. One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones have completed. And we need to know what has completed to record how much is recovered. So occasionally pause the recovery until all submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where we are up to. When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep the bitmap up-to-date. So enhance that code to record the recovery offset and schedule a superblock update. And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to do a checkpoint. '16' is a fairly arbitrary number. But we don't really have any good way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable number for now. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* md: write bitmap information to devices that are undergoing recovery.NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we add some spares to an array and start recovery, and we have a bitmap which is stored 'internally' on all devices, we call bitmap_write_all to make sure the bitmap is correct on the new device(s). However that doesn't work as write_sb_page only writes to 'In_sync' devices, and devices undergoing recovery are not 'In_sync' until recovery finishes. So extend write_sb_page (actually next_active_rdev) to include devices that are under recovery. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: never clear bit from the write-intent bitmap when the array is degraded.NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is safe to clear a bit from the write-intent bitmap for a raid1 if we know the data has been written to all devices, which is what the current test does. But it is not always safe to update the 'events_cleared' counter in that case. This is because one request could complete successfully after some other request has partially failed. So simply disable the clearing and updating of events_cleared whenever the array is degraded. This might end up not clearing some bits that could safely be cleared, but it is safest approach. Note that the bug fixed here did not risk corrupting data by letting the array get out-of-sync. Rather it meant that when a device is removed and re-added to the array, it might incorrectly require a full recovery rather than just recovering based on the bitmap.

* md: Allow write-intent bitmaps to have chunksize < PAGE_SIZENeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md currently insists that the chunk size used for write-intent bitmaps (the amount of data that corresponds to one chunk) be at least one page. The reason for this restriction is lost in the mists of time, but a review of the code (and a vague memory) suggests that the only problem would be related to resync. Resync tries very hard to work in multiples of a page, but also needs to sync with units of a bitmap_chunk too. This connection comes out in the bitmap_start_sync call. So change bitmap_start_sync to always work in multiples of a page. If the bitmap chunk size is less that one page, we flag multiple chunks as 'syncing' and generally make them all appear to the resync routines like one chunk. All other code either already works with data ranges that could span multiple chunks, or explicitly only cares about a single chunk. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: use list_for_each_entry macro directlyCheng Renquan2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel. But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version, just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each. In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry, totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

* md: Don't read past end of bitmap when reading bitmap.NeilBrown2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently read a whole number of pages. When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce on the superblock and bitmap. When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device which causes an error. When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path to just read the required number of sectors.

* Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.cNeilBrown2008-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the rcu lock. The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time. So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list. Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock and do the memalloc to start IO. When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

* md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCUNeilBrown2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this time, havoc (and oops) can ensue. So use RCU to protect these accesses: - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock() - use list_for_each_entry_rcu - add to the list with list_add_rcu - delete from the list with list_del_rcu - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch the list_head. An audit shows that export_rdev is called: - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has already been done, - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed. - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails). - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a different list. So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case. Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* Improve setting of "events_cleared" for write-intent bitmaps.Neil Brown2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since it was removed. The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared. Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' - the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require a full resync when it is re-added. With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about to clear a bit in the bitmap. We record events_cleared when we clear the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written out before the bit on storage. This makes it more "obviously correct". We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded array).

* md: Update md bitmap during resync.NeilBrown2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated when the resync completes. This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome. However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

* [PATCH] md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handlingNeil Brown2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear the bit (when count hits zero). The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we cannot cope. Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue limits much smaller than this. However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests. So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait for the count to drop down a bit. This requires a new wait_queue_head, some waiting code, and a wakeup call. Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower in that case...).

* [PATCH] md: use ffz instead of find_first_set to convert multiplier to shiftPaul Clements2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | find_first_set doesn't find the least-significant bit on bigendian machines, so it is really wrong to use it. ffs is closer, but takes an 'int' and we have a 'unsigned long'. So use ffz(~X) to convert a chunksize into a chunkshift. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

* [PATCH] md: Change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks-fixNeilBrown2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files. 1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope. 2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read. This makes read and write more symetric. 3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no dirty pages that might get written out later.

* [PATCH] md/bitmap: change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocksNeilBrown2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of operations to write the file out. I don't believe this is a supportable approach. This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files. i.e. bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we write directly to those blocks of the device. swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous addresses. We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are non-contiguous in storage. To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and store the addresses in those buffers. With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with what is on disk. To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the pagecache when releasing the file. If the file is to be examined while the array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io must be used. And new version of mdadm will have support for this. This approach simplifies a lot of code: - we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for, as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding writes there are. This saves a mempool. - -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if they ever were actually).

* [PATCH] md/bitmap: tidy up i_writecount handling in md/bitmapNeilBrown2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | md/bitmap modifies i_writecount of a bitmap file to make sure that no-one else writes to it. The reverting of the change is sometimes done twice, and there is one error path where it is omitted. This patch tidies that up.
