If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to. Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.
So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.
This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

To prevent deadlock, bios in the hold list should be flushed before
dm_rh_stop_recovery() is called in mirror_suspend().
The recovery can't start because there are pending bios and therefore
dm_rh_stop_recovery deadlocks.
When there are pending bios in the hold list, the recovery waits for
the completion of the bios after recovery_count is acquired.
The recovery_count is released when the recovery finished, however,
the bios in the hold list are processed after dm_rh_stop_recovery() in
mirror_presuspend(). dm_rh_stop_recovery() also acquires recovery_count,
then deadlock occurs.

Free the dm_io structure before calling bio_endio() instead of after it,
to ensure that the io_pool containing it is not referenced after it is
freed.
This partially fixes a problem described here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-February/msg00109.html
thread 1:
bio_endio(bio, io_error);
/* scheduling happens */
thread 2:
close the device
remove the device
thread 1:
free_io(md, io);
Thread 2, when removing the device, sees non-empty md->io_pool (because the
io hasn't been freed by thread 1 yet) and may crash with BUG in mempool_free.
Thread 1 may also crash, when freeing into a nonexisting mempool.
To fix this we must make sure that bio_endio() is the last call and
the md structure is not accessed afterwards.
There is another bio_endio in process_barrier, but it is called from the thread
and the thread is destroyed prior to freeing the mempools, so this call is
not affected by the bug.
A similar bug exists with module unloads - the module may be unloaded
immediately after bio_endio - but that is more difficult to fix.

Remove the dm_get() in dm_table_get_md() because dm_table_get_md() could
be called from presuspend/postsuspend, which are called while
mapped_device is in DMF_FREEING state, where dm_get() is not allowed.
Justification for that is the lifetime of both objects: As far as the
current dm design/implementation, mapped_device is never freed while
targets are doing something, because dm core waits for targets to become
quiet in dm_put() using presuspend/postsuspend. So targets should be
able to touch mapped_device without holding reference count of the
mapped_device, and we should allow targets to touch mapped_device even
if it is in DMF_FREEING state.
Backgrounds:
I'm trying to remove the multipath internal queue, since dm core now has
a generic queue for request-based dm. In the patch-set, the multipath
target wants to request dm core to start/stop queue. One of such
start/stop requests can happen during postsuspend() while the target
waits for pg-init to complete, because the target stops queue when
starting pg-init and tries to restart it when completing pg-init. Since
queue belongs to mapped_device, it involves calling dm_table_get_md()
and dm_put(). On the other hand, postsuspend() is called in dm_put()
for mapped_device which is in DMF_FREEING state, and that triggers
BUG_ON(DMF_FREEING) in the 2nd dm_put().
I had tried to solve this problem by changing only multipath not to
touch mapped_device which is in DMF_FREEING state, but I couldn't and I
came up with a question why we need dm_get() in dm_table_get_md().

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq
returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request().
E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path
bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load.
When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues
the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn()
doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing
the requeued request again.
This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled,
so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens.
For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so:
# dmsetup table mp
mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1
# while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done &
# while true; do \
> dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \
> dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \
> dmsetup resume mp \
> dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \
> done
To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit
the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

Analysis
When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.
When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.
Solution
Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:
- If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.
- If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
delayed_bio list.
The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected
and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even
though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch
completes them with EIO instead.
This code path is taken:
do_writes:
bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync);
do_failures:
if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
else bio_endio(bio, 0);
The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and
misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of
the various header structures used during communication.
The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure
instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being
computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload
(data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the
bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the
structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do
not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.)
The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how
much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it
with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)'
not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed
incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's
worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing
a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the
value is computed correctly.

======
This fix is related to
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
but does not address that exact issue.
======
sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
(i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.
As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.
This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.
Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.
In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock. This call is
only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set. However we can be sure
that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
was originally written. This is because do_md_run is called in three
different contexts:
1/ from md_ioctl. This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
fails if ->gendisk is not set.
2/ from writing a sysfs attribute. This can only happen if the
mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
after ->gendisk has been set.
3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
->gendisk can also go.
In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
component rdevs) to complete. However there really isn't any need to
wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
ways.
The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
while the lock is held. There is already some infrastructure in place
to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
schedule_work). So extend that infrastructure to remove the
raid5_attrs_group.
This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
"s_active" lock. The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
reshape a degraded array. Now it is so the current level of
degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account. Also newly addded
devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
in-sync.
In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.
If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
"degraded".
This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.

If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the
same time. One will wait for the other to complete.
While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device
failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the
resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot
be remove while a resync is happening).
So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.
However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.
So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.
So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).
This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.
It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
text data bss dec hex filename
64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)
Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Enable external metadata arrays to manage rebuild checkpointing via a
md/dev-XXX/recovery_start attribute which reflects rdev->recovery_offset
Also update resync_start_store to allow 'none' to be written, for

Other walks of this list are either under rcu_read_lock() or the list
mutation lock (mddev_lock()). This protects against the improbable case of a
disk being removed from the array at the start of md_do_sync().

As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is
not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a
spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest
opportunity.
So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync
as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update
immediately after adding spares to a degraded array.
This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery
starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will
continue from wherever it was up to. Previously this didn't happen
unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through.

We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.
With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts. Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.
In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.
For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

There is a sysfs file which allows bits in the write-intent
bitmap to be explicit set - indicating that the block is thought
to be 'dirty'.
When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards
to include the block to reflect this dirtiness.
In particular, a 'resync' process will refuse to start if
recovery_cp is beyond the end of the array, so this is needed
to allow a resync to be triggered.

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.

Setting daemon_lastrun really has nothing to do with reading
the bitmap superblock, it just happens to be needed at the same time.
bitmap_read_sb is about to become options, so move that code out
to after the call to bitmap_read_sb.
