2009-12-01md: revert incorrect fix for read error handling in raid1.NeilBrown
commit 4706b349f was a forward port of a fix that was needed for SLES10. But in fact it is not needed in mainline because the earlier commit dd00a99e7a fixes the same problem in a better way. Further, this commit introduces a bug in the way it interacts with the automatic read-error-correction. If, after a read error is successfully corrected, the same disk is chosen to re-read - the re-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead. After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same device and continue to get an error. So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on a read error. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2009-11-13md/raid5: Allow dirty-degraded arrays to be assembled when only party is ↵NeilBrown
degraded. Normally is it not safe to allow a raid5 that is both dirty and degraded to be assembled without explicit request from that admin, as it can cause hidden data corruption. This is because 'dirty' means that the parity cannot be trusted, and 'degraded' means that the parity needs to be used. However, if the device that is missing contains only parity, then there is no issue and assembly can continue. This particularly applies when a RAID5 is being converted to a RAID6 and there is an unclean shutdown while the conversion is happening. So check for whether the degraded space only contains parity, and in that case, allow the assembly. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-11-13Don't unconditionally set in_sync on newly added device in raid5_reshapeNeilBrown
When a reshape finds that it can add spare devices into the array, those devices might already be 'in_sync' if they are beyond the old size of the array, or they might not if they are within the array. The first case happens when we change an N-drive RAID5 to an N+1-drive RAID5. The second happens when we convert an N-drive RAID5 to an N+1-drive RAID6. So set the flag more carefully. Also, ->recovery_offset is only meaningful when the flag is clear, so only set it in that case. This change needs the preceding two to ensure that the non-in_sync device doesn't get evicted from the array when it is stopped, in the case where v0.90 metadata is used.

2009-11-13md: allow v0.91 metadata to record devices as being active but not in-sync.NeilBrown
This is a combination that didn't really make sense before. However when a reshape is converting e.g. raid5 -> raid6, the extra device is not fully in-sync, but is certainly active and contains important data. So allow that start to be meaningful and in particular get the 'recovery_offset' value (which is needed for any non-in-sync active device) from the reshape_position.

2009-11-12md: factor out updating of 'recovery_offset'.NeilBrown
Each device has its own 'recovery_offset' showing how far recovery has progressed on the device. As the only real significance of this is that fact that it can be stored in the metadata and recovered at restart, and as only 1.x metadata can do this, we were only updating 'recovery_offset' to 'curr_resync_completed' when updating v1.x metadata. But this is wrong, and we will shortly make limited use of this field in v0.90 metadata. So move the update into common code. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-11-06md/raid5: make sure curr_sync_completes is uptodate when reshape startsNeilBrown
This value is visible through sysfs and is used by mdadm when it manages a reshape (backing up data that is about to be rearranged). So it is important that it is always correct. Current it does not get updated properly when a reshape starts which can cause problems when assembling an array that is in the middle of being reshaped. This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

2009-11-06md: don't clear endpoint for resync when resync is interrupted.NeilBrown
If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that point. So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure), leave 'resync_max' unchanged. This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not change the size of the array. For such operations mdadm needs to monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being reshaped. If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless. This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

2009-10-16dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix raceMikulas Patocka
Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk size, largest first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659 For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots: snapshot1: ====A==== ====B==== snapshot2: ==========C========== (Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.) A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them together using A as the 'primary' exception. Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done to it: B and C are not linked. If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2. To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above - both A and B now get linked to C.

2009-10-16md/async: don't pass a memory pointer as a page pointer.NeilBrown
md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines, which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address for CPU based calculations. For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages. For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros. For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the hardware. Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a 'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly. So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks. When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

2009-10-16md: Fix handling of raid5 array which is being reshaped to fewer devices.NeilBrown
When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices, conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices. However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes. Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always 'new' i.e. ->raid_disks. Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places. This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices. md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

2009-10-16md/raid456: downlevel multicore operations to raid_run_opsDan Williams
The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains (+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance loss). By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an average 11% throughput loss for: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6 echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048 ...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for further multicore experimentation.

This memset is not needed (and we didn't need kzalloc in the first place). Ever field of the allocated structure (struct multipath_bh) is initialised immediately except retry_list, and memset does not initial a list_head anyway. To remove the memset.

2009-09-23md: Improve name of threads created by md_register_threadNeilBrown
The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and can be confusion. So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given. This is simpler and more correct.

2009-09-22md: avoid use of broken kzalloc mempoolSage Weil
The kzalloc mempool does not re-zero items that have been used and then returned to the pool. Manually zero the allocated multipath_bh instead.
