2011-07-28md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks.NeilBrown
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those blocks. There are several main parts to this: 1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available there. 2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks. 3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to different devices as different bad blocks on different devices could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one device, but can still be served by the array. This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments' 4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read and queue another request for the rest. This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync, recovery, or check. 'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and export it.

2011-07-28md: don't allow arrays to contain devices with bad blocks.NeilBrown
As no personality understand bad block lists yet, we must reject any device that is known to contain bad blocks. As the personalities get taught, these tests can be removed. This only applies to raid1/raid5/raid10. For linear/raid0/multipath/faulty the whole concept of bad blocks doesn't mean anything so there is no point adding the checks.

2011-07-27md/raid1: move rdev->corrected_errors countingNamhyung Kim
Read errors are considered to corrected if write-back and re-read cycle is finished without further problems.

2011-07-27md: change managed of recovery_disabled.NeilBrown
If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this a read error is better than not having an array at all. Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled" and is only implemented for RAID1. For RAID10 we will need finer grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual devices separately. So push more of the decision making into the personality. 'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery again'. This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-05-11md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.NeilBrown
The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp), records where a resync is up to. A value of 0 means the array is not known to be in-sync at all. A value of MaxSector means the array is believed to be fully in-sync. When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is increased, the array can be increased to match. This process sets resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of the array gets resynced. However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary and may be undesirable. So it would be good if the implied resync after the array is resized could be avoided. So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while resync/recovery is 'frozen'. Changing it once resync has started is not going to be useful anyway. This allows the array to be resized without a resync by: write 'frozen' to 'sync_action' write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start) write 'none' to 'resync_start' write 'idle' to 'sync_action'. Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing raid1/raid5. Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be more careful in our tests. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-05-11md/raid1: improve handling of pages allocated for write-behind.NeilBrown
The current handling and freeing of these pages is a bit fragile. We only keep the list of allocated pages in each bio, so we need to still have a valid bio when freeing the pages, which is a bit clumsy. So simply store the allocated page list in the r1_bio so it can easily be found and freed when we are finished with the r1_bio. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-05-11md/raid1: try fix_sync_read_error before process_checks.NeilBrown
If we get a read error during resync/recovery we current repeat with single-page reads to find out just where the error is, and possibly read each page from a different device. With check/repair we don't currently do that, we just fail. However it is possible that while all devices fail on the large 64K read, we might be able to satisfy each 4K from one device or another. So call fix_sync_read_error before process_checks to maximise the chance of finding good data and writing it out to the devices with read errors. For this to work, we need to set the 'uptodate' flags properly after fix_sync_read_error has succeeded. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-05-11md/raid1: tidy up new functions: process_checks and fix_sync_read_error.NeilBrown
These changes are mostly cosmetic: 1/ change mddev->raid_disks to conf->raid_disks because the later is technically safer, though in current practice it doesn't matter in this particular context. 2/ Rearrange two for / if loops to have an early 'continue' so the body of the 'if' doesn't need to be indented so much.

2011-03-17block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempoolMartin K. Petersen
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2011-02-21md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exitNeilBrown
blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists, so make sure that it does. To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock. As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions. We don't need the locking, just the warning removal. This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is which is 2.6.37 and later. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2010-11-24md/raid1: really fix recovery looping when single good device fails.NeilBrown
Commit 4044ba58dd15cb01797c4fd034f39ef4a75f7cc3 supposedly fixed a problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in an infinite loop. However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device from the array. But that does not happen in this case. So add a test so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed. This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when recovery_disabled was introduced.

2010-10-28md: use separate bio pool for each md device.NeilBrown
bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool. If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on the pool can cause deadlocks. So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather than the common pool. This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: change type of first arg to sync_page_io.NeilBrown

2010-10-28md/raid1: perform mem allocation before disabling writes during resync.NeilBrown
Though this mem alloc is GFP_NOIO an so will not deadlock, it seems better to do the allocation before 'raise_barrier' which stops any IO requests while the resync proceeds. raid10 always uses this order, so it is at least consistent to do the same in raid1. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: use bio_kmalloc rather than bio_alloc when failure is acceptable.NeilBrown
bio_alloc can never fail (as it uses a mempool) but an block indefinitely, especially if the caller is holding a reference to a previously allocated bio. So these to places which both handle failure and hold multiple bios should not use bio_alloc, they should use bio_kmalloc. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: Fix possible deadlock with multiple mempool allocations.NeilBrown
It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the mempool is close to exhaustion. So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple devices in raid1 and raid10. Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance of being allocated. This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and possible handle the write completion at that point.

2010-10-07md/raid1: avoid overflow in raid1 resync when bitmap is in use.NeilBrown
bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again. Since commit ef4256733506f245 this number can be substantially larger, 2^27 is a common value. Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts it 9 places to the left it becomes 0. This results in a zero-length read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about. This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with a trivially-correct patch.

2010-09-10md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA supportTejun Heo
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. In the core part (md.c), the following changes are notable. * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress. * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry logic. Retry logic is removed. * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be deferred to request_queue of member devices. md_barrier_request() is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly. For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough. raid1, 5 and 10 need the following conversions. * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to request_queues of member devices. Barrier related logic removed. * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped. FUA bit is propagated through biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying writes was FUA. preread_active_stripes handling in make_request() is updated as suggested by Neil Brown. * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones. linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

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.

2010-05-18md/raid1: fix counting of write targets.NeilBrown
There is a very small race window when writing to a RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device, but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that the write was sent. Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that block, possibly leading to corruption. This would only be a problem if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e. that bitmap chunk). Suitable for any pending -stable kernel.
