* 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: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macroNeilBrown2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful. I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private, than have to know what the macro does. So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

* | md/raid6: asynchronous raid6 operationsDan Williams2009-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ] The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy operations asynchronously, outside the lock. The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others are supported: STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK - generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache STRIPE_OP_CHECK - verify that the parity is correct The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely: 1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct) 2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate) 3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks) [neilb@suse.de: fixes to get it to pass mdadm regression suite] Reviewed-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* | async_tx: add sum check flagsDan Williams2009-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the flat zero_sum_result with a collection of flags to contain the P (xor) zero-sum result, and the soon to be utilized Q (raid6 reed solomon syndrome) zero-sum result. Use the SUM_CHECK_ namespace instead of DMA_ since these flags will be used on non-dma-zero-sum enabled platforms.

Include space for dma address conversions and pass that to async_tx via the async_submit_ctl.scribble pointer.

* md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshapeNeilBrown2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently update the metadata : 1/ every 3Megabytes 2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in the metadata as still containing old-layout data. Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the face of a crash/restart. So it should really be time based rather than size based. So change it to "every 10 seconds". Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array 'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every stripe. For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the constant metadata update is pointless. So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently writing 'new-layout' data. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.NeilBrown2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently underway. This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences. The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same. The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway. Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the reshape starts. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.NeilBrown2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are 'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are 'after'. They are currently differentiated by having different ->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing the number of disks. However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number of disks (chunk parity or chunk size). So make the difference more explicit with a 'generation' number.

* md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.NeilBrown2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the beginning. So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo differently. This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

* md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.koDan Williams2009-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module (raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456 needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines. To support this move: 1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h 2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported 3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to compile Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* md/raid5: finish support for DDF/raid6NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | DDF requires RAID6 calculations over different devices in a different order. For md/raid6, we calculate over just the data devices, starting immediately after the 'Q' block. For ddf/raid6 we calculate over all devices, using zeros in place of the P and Q blocks. This requires unfortunately complex loops... Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md/raid5: Add support for new layouts for raid5 and raid6.NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DDF uses different layouts for P and Q blocks than current md/raid6 so add those that are missing. Also add support for RAID6 layouts that are identical to various raid5 layouts with the simple addition of one device to hold all of the 'Q' blocks. Finally add 'raid5' layouts to match raid4. These last to will allow online level conversion. Note that this does not provide correct support for DDF/raid6 yet as the order in which data blocks are summed to produce the Q block is significant and different between current md code and DDF requirements.

* md/raid6: remove expectation that Q device is immediately after P device.NeilBrown2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code currently assumes that the devices in a raid6 stripe are 0 1 ... N-1 P Q in some rotated order. We will shortly add new layouts in which this strict pattern is broken. So remove this expectation. We still assume that the data disks are roughly in-order. However P and Q can be inserted anywhere within that order. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
