2012-05-22md/bitmap: record the space available for the bitmap in the superblock.NeilBrown
Now that bitmaps can grow and shrink it is best if we record how much space is available. This means that when we reduce the size of the bitmap we won't "lose" the space for late when we might want to increase the size of the bitmap again. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: add bitmap_resize function to allow bitmap resizing.NeilBrown
This function will allocate the new data structures and copy bits across from old to new, allowing for the possibility that the chunksize has changed. Use the same function for performing the initial allocation of the structures. This improves test coverage. When bitmap_resize is used to resize an existing bitmap, it only copies '1' bits in, not '0' bits. So when allocating the bitmap, ensure everything is initialised to ZERO.

2012-05-22md/bitmap: create a 'struct bitmap_counts' substructure of 'struct bitmap'NeilBrown
The new "struct bitmap_counts" contains all the fields that are related to counting the number of active writes in each bitmap chunk. Having this separate will make it easier to change the chunksize or overall size of a bitmap atomically. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: use set_bit, test_bit, etc for operation on bitmap->flags.NeilBrown
We currently use '&' and '|' which isn't the norm in the kernel and doesn't allow easy atomicity. So change to bit numbers and {set,clear,test}_bit. This allows us to remove a spinlock/unlock (which was dubious anyway) and some other simplifications. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: store bytes in file rather than just in last page.NeilBrown
This number is more generally useful, and bytes-in-last-page is easily extracted from it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: move some fields of 'struct bitmap' into a 'storage' substruct.NeilBrown
This new 'struct bitmap_storage' reflects the external storage of the bitmap. Having this clearly defined will make it easier to change the storage used while the array is active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: disentangle two different 'pending' flags.NeilBrown
There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the write intent bitmap. Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits) may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course. There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be cleared. Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by bitmap_daemon_work(). If this flag is clear we can skip the whole page. These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag. This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the bitmap file. So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending' concepts separately. This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we write a page. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-04md/bitmap: fix calculation of 'chunks' - missing shift.NeilBrown
commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro" replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong. The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1, which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how). So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO which is no longe used.

2012-03-19md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macroNeilBrown
Be redefining ->chunkshift as the shift from sectors to chunks rather than bytes to chunks, we can just use "bitmap->chunkshift" which is shorter than the macro call, and less indirect. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-03-19md/bitmap: move printing of bitmap status to bitmap.cNeilBrown
The part of /proc/mdstat which describes the bitmap should really be generated by code in bitmap.c. So move it there. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-07-27MD bitmap: Revert DM dirty log hooksJonathan Brassow
Revert most of commit e384e58549a2e9a83071ad80280c1a9053cfd84c md/bitmap: prepare for storing write-intent-bitmap via dm-dirty-log. MD should not need to use DM's dirty log - we decided to use md's bitmaps instead. Keeping the DIV_ROUND_UP clean-ups that were part of commit e384e58549a2e9a83071ad80280c1a9053cfd84c, however.

2010-10-28md: use sector_t in bitmap_get_counterNeilBrown
bitmap_get_counter returns the number of sectors covered by the counter in a pass-by-reference variable. In some cases this can be very large, so make it a sector_t for safety. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-07-26md/bitmap: separate out loading a bitmap from initialising the structures.NeilBrown
dm makes this distinction between ->ctr and ->resume, so we need to too. Also get the new bitmap_load to clear out the bitmap first, as this is most consistent with the dm suspend/resume approach Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-07-26md/bitmap: prepare for storing write-intent-bitmap via dm-dirty-log.NeilBrown
This allows md/raid5 to fully work as a dm target. Normally md uses a 'filemap' which contains a list of pages of bits each of which may be written separately. dm-log uses and all-or-nothing approach to writing the log, so when using a dm-log, ->filemap is NULL and the flags normally stored in filemap_attr are stored in ->logattrs instead.

2010-05-18md/raid1: delay reads that could overtake behind-writes.NeilBrown
When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices. If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed) it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption. So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-05-18md: expose max value of behind writes counterPaul Clements
Keep track of the maximum number of concurrent write-behind requests for an md array and exposed this number in sysfs at md/bitmap/max_backlog_used Writing any value to this file will clear it. This allows userspace to be involved in tuning bitmap/backlog. Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-12-14md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata.NeilBrown
In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same sector as the bitmap. md will not read/write any bitmap metadata. Config must be done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared again.

2009-12-14md: move offset, daemon_sleep and chunksize out of bitmap structureNeilBrown
... and into bitmap_info. These are all configuration parameters that need to be set before the bitmap is created. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-12-14md/bitmap: protect against bitmap removal while being updated.NeilBrown
A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the array is active. When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the bitmap is removed. However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to clear old bits from the bitmap. If it is, it can dereference the bitmap after it has been freed. So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it before destroying a bitmap. This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.
