* md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.NeilBrown2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting in an infinite recovery loop. So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error on the lone remaining drive is detected. Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added in case the problem wasn't actually a media error. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: Allow md devices to be created by name.NeilBrown2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial. Using names can be a lot more user-friendly. Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit awkward. So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices. Writing a name such as "md_home" to /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array will cause an array with that name to be created. It will appear in /sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'. It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated. md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last close when the device is inactive. For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state. The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with other devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.NeilBrown2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the gendisk, this a circular reference. If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable this. So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a complication. Between the call __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe and the call __blkdev_get->md_open there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be destroyed prematurely. Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must fail. So: 1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which indicates that the array should be treated as active, even though there are no references, and no appearance of activity. This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it is no longer needed. This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and md_open. 2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches the gendisk that we did open. If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case. In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so we loop at most once. Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open, and then close and so on. So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be removed). As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <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: raid0: make hash_spacing and preshift sector-based.Andre Noll2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames the hash_spacing and preshift members of struct raid0_private_data to spacing and sector_shift respectively and changes the semantics as follows: We always have spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. In case sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32) we also have sector_shift = preshift + 1 while sector_shift = preshift = 0 otherwise. Note that the values of nb_zone and zone are unaffected by these changes because in the sector_div() preceeding the assignement of these two variables both arguments double.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames hash_spacing and preshift to spacing and sector_shift respectively with the following change of semantics: Case 1: (sizeof(sector_t) <= sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this case, we have sector_shift = preshift = 0 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was (sector/2) / hash_spacing. Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz and base double. Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but spacing = hash_spacing in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than in the old code. Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next hunk stays the same. In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as (sector >> sector_shift) / spacing In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing, this equals ((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing which is the value computed by the old code.

* 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>

* md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_writeDan Williams2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata update has completed. Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active' operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon. md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> The STRIPE_OP_* flags record the state of stripe operations which are performed outside the stripe lock. Their use in indicating which operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs. An easier to read implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed. Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags. For now this only converts the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations. This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code. There is a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when the parity calculation for that repair completes. When this happens we will writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

Remove it for the following reasons: 1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum 2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock 3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.

To stop "sync_action" from occasionally showing the wrong value, we introduce a new flags - MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER - to say that a recovery is probably needed or happening, and we make sure that we set MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING before clearing MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED.

* Allow setting start point for requested check/repairNeil Brown2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | This makes it possible to just resync a small part of an array. e.g. if a drive reports that it has questionable sectors, a 'repair' of just the region covering those sectors will cause them to be read and, if there is an error, re-written with correct data.

* 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). Thanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early "fixes". Cc: "Mike Snitzer" <snitzer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.NeilBrown2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

* md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.Bernd Schubert2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed (Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit. So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when: * a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list' * 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width write requests * 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the top two conditions are false.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot be used by other arrays. This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own partitioning concept. So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general, require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections do not overlap. This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set "->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name when we want to clear things.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be left of user-space to handle. Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata - after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute. - move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if there are any superblocks or not. - New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue. This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state attribute. - tidy up marking of sb_dirty: - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway. - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty. - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

* 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.
