2011-10-11md: remove typedefs: mddev_t -> struct mddevNeilBrown
Having mddev_t and 'struct mddev_s' is ugly and not preferred 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.

2011-06-09md/bitmap: remove unused fields from struct bitmapNamhyung Kim
Get rid of ->syncchunk and ->counter_bits since they're never used. Also discard COUNTER_BYTE_RATIO which is unused. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

2009-03-31md: move headers out of include/linux/raid/Christoph Hellwig
Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there are some uses from the outside.
