2012-11-27md/raid1{,0}: fix deadlock in bitmap_unplug.NeilBrown
If the raid1 or raid10 unplug function gets called from a make_request function (which is very possible) when there are bios on the current->bio_list list, then it will not be able to successfully call bitmap_unplug() and it could need to submit more bios and wait for them to complete. But they won't complete while current->bio_list is non-empty. So detect that case and handle the unplugging off to another thread just like we already do when called from within the scheduler. RAID1 version of bug was introduced in 3.6, so that part of fix is suitable for 3.6.y. RAID10 part won't apply.

2012-11-22md/raid10: decrement correct pending counter when writing to replacement.NeilBrown
When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev, even if this write was to the replacement. This means that any writes to an array while a replacement was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary device to go negative, so it could never be removed. This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in 3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

2012-11-22md/raid10: close race that lose writes lost when replacement completes.NeilBrown
When a replacement operation completes there is a small window when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement still looks like a replacement. The faulty should be removed and the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant. So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it doesn't. If the primary device is faulty it just gives up. This can lead to corruption. So make the code more robust: if either the primary or the replacement is present and working, write to them. Only when neither are present do we give up. This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in 3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

2012-10-31MD RAID10: Fix oops when creating RAID10 arrays via dm-raid.cJonathan Brassow
Commit 2863b9eb didn't take into account the changes to add TRIM support to RAID10 (commit 532a2a3fb). That is, when using dm-raid.c to create the RAID10 arrays, there is no mddev->gendisk or mddev->queue. The code added to support TRIM simply assumes that mddev->queue is available without checking. The result is an oops any time dm-raid.c attempts to create a RAID10 device. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request rates.

In reality it is the number of 'near' copies. So change it to make this number explicit. This bug makes it possible to run arrays without enough drives present, which is dangerous.

2012-08-17md/raid10: fix problem with on-stack allocation of r10bio structure.NeilBrown
A 'struct r10bio' has an array of per-copy information at the end. This array is declared with size [0] and r10bio_pool_alloc allocates enough extra space to store the per-copy information depending on the number of copies needed. So declaring a 'struct r10bio on the stack isn't going to work. It won't allocate enough space, and memory corruption will ensue. So in the two places where this is done, declare a sufficiently large structure and use that instead. The two call-sites of this bug were introduced in 3.4 and 3.5 so this is suitable for both those kernels. The patch will have to be modified for 3.4 as it only has one bug.

2012-07-31md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.NeilBrown
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not show any performance difference by removing it. So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active. This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large numbers of updates together. Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a measurable effect.

2012-07-03md: fix up plugging (again).NeilBrown
The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any call to mempool_alloc. So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make sense. So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread. As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes lots of sense. If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we wake thread immediately. RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the thread on failure. However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request and waking the thread. Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking up. Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not active plugs, just like raid1. This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to -stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline first to be sure it is completely safe. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2012-05-22md/raid10: add reshape supportNeilBrown
A 'near' or 'offset' lay RAID10 array can be reshaped to a different 'near' or 'offset' layout, a different chunk size, and a different number of devices. However the number of copies cannot change. Unlike RAID5/6, we do not support having user-space backup data that is being relocated during a 'critical section'. Rather, the data_offset of each device must change so that when writing any block to a new location, it will not over-write any data that is still 'live'. This means that RAID10 reshape is not supportable on v0.90 metadata. The different between the old data_offset and the new_offset must be at least the larger of the chunksize multiplied by offset copies of each of the old and new layout. (for 'near' mode, offset_copies == 1). A larger difference of around 64M seems useful for in-place reshapes as more data can be moved between metadata updates. Very large differences (e.g. 512M) seem to slow the process down due to lots of long seeks (on oldish consumer graded devices at least). Metadata needs to be updated whenever the place we are about to write to is considered - by the current metadata - to still contain data in the old layout.

2012-05-20md/raid10: collect some geometry fields into a dedicated structure.NeilBrown
We will shortly be adding reshape support for RAID10 which will require it having 2 concurrent geometries (before and after). To make that easier, collect most geometry fields into 'struct geom' and access them from there. Then we will more easily be able to add a second set of fields. Note that 'copies' is not in this struct and so cannot be changed. There is little need to change this number and doing so is a lot more difficult as it requires reallocating more things.

2012-05-20md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.NeilBrown
When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by changing the 'start' address of the array on the device (if there is enough room). So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata. (As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero, we need a new FEATURE flag for this. A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are zero to avoid a repeat of this) The new data offset must be requested separately for each device. This allows each to have a different change in the data offset. This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be set per-device, new_data_offset should be too. This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as it is never used and never will be. At the same time we add a new arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more soon. When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset and rdev->sectors. So provide an exported function to do that. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children as well. This introduces a small problem. There is no locking around calls the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request. So a device added between these could end up getting a request which violates its merge_bvec_fn. Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched(). This will work providing no preemption happens. If there is preemption, we just have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-03-19md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.NeilBrown
md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry, and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the name, which is useful documentation. Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and many use an explicity list_for_each entry. So: - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain list_for_each_entry, - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

2012-03-19md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.NeilBrown
If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during resync or recovery. This can happen if the upper level block device creates two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10. The first request gets processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying requests in current->bio_list. A resync request then starts which will wait for those requests and block new IO. But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted and it cannot progress until the resync request completes, which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete, which are on a queue behind that second request. So allow that second request to proceed even though there is a resync request about to start. This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

commit 56a2559bb654a (md/raid10: recognise replacements ...) changed 'run' to set ->replacement or ->rdev depending on the 'Replacement' status if the device, but it didn't remove the old unconditional setting of 'rdev'. So it was largely ineffective. So remove that now. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-02-14md/raid10: fix handling of error on last working device in array.NeilBrown
If we get a read error on the last working device in a RAID10 which contains the target block, then we don't fail the device (which is good) but we don't abort retries, which is wrong. We end up in an infinite loop retrying the read on the one device. This patch fixes the problem in two places: 1/ in raid10_end_read_request we don't even ask for a retry if this was the last usable device. This is efficient but a little racy and will sometimes retry when it should not. 2/ in handle_read_error we are careful to exclude any device from retry which we tried to mark as faulty (that might have failed if it was the last device). This is race-free but less efficient. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-22md/raid10: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement.NeilBrown
When attempting to add a spare to a RAID10 array, also consider adding it as a replacement for a want_replacement device. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-22md/raid10: recognise replacements when assembling array.NeilBrown
If a Replacement is seen, file it as such. If we see two replacements (or two normal devices) for the one slot, abort. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-22md/raid10: Allow replacement device to be replace old drive.NeilBrown
When recovery finish and spare_active is called, check for a replace that might have just become fully synced and mark it as such, marking the original as failed. Then when the original is removed, move the replacement into its position. This means that 'replacement' and spontaneously become NULL in some situations. Make sure we check for those. It also means that 'rdev' and 'replacement' could appear to be identical - check for that too. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-22md/raid10: handle recovery of replacement devices.NeilBrown
If there is a replacement device, then recover to it, reading from any drives - maybe the one being replaced, maybe not. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
