1a67dde0ab md/raid5: Properly remove excess drives after shrinking a raid5/6
We were removing the drives, from the array, but not
removing symlinks from /sys/.... and not marking the device

This "if" don't allow for the possibility that the number of devices
doesn't change, and so sector_nr isn't set correctly in that case.

67ac6011db md/raid5: allow new reshape modes to be restarted in the middle.
md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.

The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.

It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test.  For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.

449aad3e25 md: Use revalidate_disk to effect changes in size of device.
As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause
any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev
inode.  So use that instead of mucking about with locks and
i_size_write.

Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places
where the gendisk capacity is changed.

64bd660b51 md: allow raid5_quiesce to work properly when reshape is happening.
The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape,
just normal IO.
But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being
used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for
all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed.

However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period
of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds
needlessly.
So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is
trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can
drop to zero.

e62e58a5ff md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits
when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short
while.
When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an
interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are
not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.

Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate

However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize'

a8c906ca3f md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshape
md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts.  This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.

Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.

It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested.  Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.

So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.

This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported.  So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

c03f6a1969 md: update sync_completed and reshape_position even more often.
There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
"oversee" a resync/reshape process.  For example when doing an
in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).

The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
advancing beyond a particular point.
So user-space can:
  suspend IO to the first section and back it up
  set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
  wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
  resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.

However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.

It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.

One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
(it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
on that).  This defeats some of the double buffering.

With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.

To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
and the value of sync_max.  This will usually be a good time for user
space to update sync_max.

If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
(together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
(one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
and stops.  So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
insignificant period of time.

acb180b0e3 md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed.
The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.

We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).

So:
 - make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
   particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
 - report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
 - allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.

This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

c8f517c444 md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshape
We currently update the metadata :
 1/ every 3Megabytes
 2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in
    the metadata as still containing old-layout data.

Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the
face of a crash/restart.  So it should really be time based rather
than size based.  So change it to "every 10 seconds".

Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array
'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every
stripe.
For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if
some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
stripes before allowing them to be reshaped.  In that case, the
constant metadata update is pointless.
So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
writing 'new-layout' data.

ab69ae12ce md/raid5: be more careful about write ordering when reshaping.
When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read
the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data
at that offset.

In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before
we even consider writing.  But when restriping an array without
changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have
some data to available write before the read has happened at the same
location.  This would require some stripes to be in cache already.

To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing,
that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of
being read.  And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such
before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed.

784052ecc6 md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.
Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
underway.

This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.

Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
started by setting reshape_position.  In contrast, the new_chunk value
is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
reshape starts.

However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number
of disks (chunk parity or chunk size).  So make the difference more

ec32a2bd35 md: allow number of drives in raid5 to be reduced
When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of
the array to the beginning.
md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning
to the end.  So largely ignore them use the internal state variable
"reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next.

Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6,
3 otherwise).

We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before
the array is reshaped to a smaller size.  This is because simply
reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape
is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at
the ends of the devices.
Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write
an appropriately small size to md/array_size.

When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer
needed and fix up ->degraded.

This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an
explicit finish_reshape method as well.

The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be
done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t
structure.

The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock
so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device.

This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which
would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array
while a reshape was happening.

7ec0547838 md/raid5: enhance raid5_size to work correctly with negative delta_disks
This is the first of four patches which combine to allow md/raid5 to
reduce the number of devices in the array by restriping the data over
a subset of the devices.

If the number of disks in a raid4/5/6 is being reduced, then the
default size must be based on the new number, not the old number
of devices.
In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old.

We now have this value in stripe_head so we don't need to duplicate

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

b522adcde9 md: 'array_size' sysfs attribute
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:

1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0)
   a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
      if size is greater than the default size
   b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
      array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
   kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality

Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.
