f070304094 dm raid1: fix deadlock when suspending failed device
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.

ede5ea0b8b dm raid1: always return error if all legs fail
If all mirror legs fail, always return an error instead of holding the
bio, even if the handle_errors option was set.  At present it is the
responsibility of the driver underneath us to deal with retries,
multipath etc.

The patch adds the bio to the failures list instead of holding it
directly.  do_failures tests first if all legs failed and, if so,
returns the bio with -EIO.  If any leg is still alive and handle_errors
is set, do_failures calls hold_bio.

5528d17de1 dm raid1: fail writes if errors are not handled and log fails
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.

929be8fcb4 dm raid1: hold all write bios when leg fails
Hold all write bios when leg fails and errors are handled

When using a userspace daemon such as dmeventd to handle errors, we must
delay completing  bios until it has done its job.
This patch prevents the following race:
  - primary leg fails
  - write "1" fail, the write is held, secondary leg is set default
  - write "2" goes straight to the secondary leg

60f355ead3 dm raid1: hold write bios when errors are handled
Hold all write bios when errors are handled.

Previously the failures list was used only when handling errors with
a userspace daemon such as dmeventd.  Now, it is always used for all bios.
The regions where some writes failed must be marked as nosync. This can only
be done in process context (i.e. in raid1 workqueue), not in the
write_callback function.

Previously the write would succeed if writing to at least one leg
succeeded.  This is wrong because data from the failed leg may be
replicated to the correct leg.  Now, if using a userspace daemon, the
write with some failures will be held until the daemon has done its job
and reconfigured the array.  If not using a daemon, the write still
succeeds if at least one leg succeeds. This is bad, but it is consistent
with current behavior.

d2b698644c dm raid1: do not allow log_failure variable to unset after being set
This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg
could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync.

The case involves the failure of the primary device along with
the transient failure of the log device.  The problem is that
bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure)
before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure.
Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient,
a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will
reset 'log_failure'.  The 'do_failures' function then resets
the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list.
The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the
primary device can be switched in the event of a failure.  Since
this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed
to be not switchable.

The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one
machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines.
As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to
another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure),
the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine -
thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable.

In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure'
variable.  The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually
hurt us.

The recent commit 7513c2a761 (dm raid1:

The rule is that when anything is being added on ms->reads, ms->writes
or ms->failures and the list was empty before we must call
wakeup_mirrord (for immediate processing) or delayed_wake (for delayed
processing).  Otherwise the bios could sit on the list indefinitely.

The logging API needs an extra function to make cluster mirroring
possible.  This new function allows us to check whether a mirror
region is being recovered on another machine in the cluster.  This

Cluster-aware log modules will implement this function.  Single
machine log modules will not.  So, there is no performance
penalty for single machine mirrors.

95f8fac8dc dm raid1: switch read_record from kmalloc to slab to save memory
With my previous patch to save bi_io_vec, the size of dm_raid1_read_record
is significantly increased (the vector list takes 3072 bytes on 32-bit machines
and 4096 bytes on 64-bit machines).

The structure dm_raid1_read_record used to be allocated with kmalloc,
but kmalloc aligns the size on the next power-of-two so an object
slightly greater than 4096 will allocate 8192 bytes of memory and half of
that memory will be wasted.

This patch turns kmalloc into a slab cache which doesn't have this
padding so it will reduce the memory consumed.

that is in use.

This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.

The error count is used to decide whether to select an alternative

read callback.

Fix it by increasing error_count before the handle_errors feature

f7c83e2e47 dm raid1: kcopyd should stop on error if errors handled
dm-raid1 is setting the 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag unconditionally
when assigning kcopyd work.  kcopyd is responsible for copying an
assigned section of disk to one or more other disks.  The
'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag affects kcopyd in the following way:

When not set:
kcopyd will immediately stop the copy operation when an error is
encountered.

When set:
kcopyd will try to proceed regardless of errors and try to continue
copying any remaining amount.

Since dm-raid1 tracks regions of the address space that are (or
are not) in sync and it now has the ability to handle these
errors, we can safely enable this optimization.  This optimization
is conditional on whether mirror error handling has been enabled.

7ff14a3615 dm: unplug queues in threads
Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O.

It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the
queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device).

The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the
sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs
the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when
the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to
the disk.

This was happenning:

When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of
bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is
woken up.

fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer().  That unplugs the queue, but
there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue.

wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished.

kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices.

The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it.
(The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.)

So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are
unplugged and requests are processed.

This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes),
dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1.

Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the
queue actually to send the request to the device.

This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps
the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes
processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios.

It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests
are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

af195ac82e dm raid1: report fault status
This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that
it can be determined which device(s) have failed.  For each mirror device,
a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered.  The
characters are:
 *    A => Alive - No failures
 *    D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync
 *    S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync
 *    R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected
This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

06386bbfd2 dm raid1: handle read failures
This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures
that happen during read operations.  It also adds the ability to
read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are
in-sync.

There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path
and the queued path.  When a read request is mapped, if the region
is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path
is taken.

If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that
if the read fails we can retry it.  We then discover the status of
a direct read through mirror_end_io.  If the read has failed, we will
mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we
don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again.

If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read
from 'read_callback'.  If the device failed, we will mark the device
as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device
where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

b80aa7a0c2 dm raid1: fix EIO after log failure
This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to
core device-mapper when there is a log device failure.

If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are
put on the "failures" list.  Since the log is marked as failed,
they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens.

Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend.  We must
make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued
in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core).  This means
that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed
behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we
return from presuspend.

The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was
already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to
presuspend.  We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the
mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes
in the failures list.

Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no
additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O
that we need to requeue (because once we return from
presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it).  'queue_work'
is called in response to the following functions:
- complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it
                           is ready to recover the region
                           (recovery is stopped) or it needs
                           to clear the region in the log*
                           **this doesn't get called while
                           suspending**
- rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped
- write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call
                   bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec
                   (see rh_dec above)
                   2) Writes with failures are put on
                   the failures list and queue_work is
                   called**
                   ** write_callbacks don't happen
                   during suspend **
- do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending
- add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation
- queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue
              is called.  2) No more I/Os are being issued.
              3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled.
              (Write completions are handled through rh_dec/
              write_callback - mention above - and do not
              use queue_bio.)

8f0205b798 dm raid1: handle recovery failures
This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during
mirror recovery (aka resynchronization).  'fail_mirror' is responsible
for recording the type of error by mirror device and ensuring an event
gets raised for the purpose of notifying userspace.

72f4b31410 dm raid1: handle write failures
This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures
during normal write operations.

The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes.
If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or
success respectively.  If some of the writes failed, we call
fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes
the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR),  and
selects a new primary (if necessary).  Note that the primary
device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW,
while recovery is happening.)  This means that the scenario
where a failed write changes the primary and gives
recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens.
The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change
to the default_mirror field.  We need to protect against reading
garbage while the primary changes.  We then add the bio to a new
list in the mirror set, 'failures'.  For every bio in the 'failures'
list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark
the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region
state as, RH_NOSYNC.  Userspace must also be notified of the
failure.  This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()).
If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised
right away.  If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the
kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set.

Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if
the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

6b3df0d7a5 dm log: split suspend
There are now two phases to a suspend in device-mapper -
presuspend and postsuspend.  This patch removes the
single 'suspend' in the logging API and replaces it with
'presuspend' and 'postsuspend' functions to align it
better with core device-mapper.

A subsequent patch will make use of 'presuspend'.
