2011-12-23md/raid1: Allocate spare to store replacement devices and their bios.NeilBrown
In RAID1, a replacement is much like a normal device, so we just double the size of the relevant arrays and look at all possible devices for reads and writes. This means that the array looks like it is now double the size in some way - we need to be careful about that. In particular, we checking if the array is still degraded while creating a recovery request we need to only consider the first 'half' - i.e. the real (non-replacement) devices.

2011-10-11md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.NeilBrown
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all. However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so it doesn't suffer from this problem). So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable via module option just in case someone finds a regression. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-10-11md: removing typedefs: mdk_rdev_t -> struct md_rdevNeilBrown
The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h' which used to be an include file that defined this thing. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-07-28md/raid1: Handle write errors by updating badblock log.NeilBrown
When we get a write error (in the data area, not in metadata), update the badblock log rather than failing the whole device. As the write may well be many blocks, we trying writing each block individually and only log the ones which fail.

2011-07-28md/raid1: store behind-write pages in bi_vecs.NeilBrown
When performing write-behind we allocate pages to store the data during write. Previously we just keep a list of pages. Now we keep a list of bi_vec which includes offset and size. This means that the r1bio has complete information to create a new bio which will be needed for retrying after write errors.

2011-07-28md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds.NeilBrown
If we succeed in writing to a block that was recorded as being bad, we clear the bad-block record. This requires some delayed handling as the bad-block-list update has to happen in process-context. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com>
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.

2011-07-27md: 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/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>

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.
