NeilBrown 58e94ae184 md/raid1: close some possible races on write errors during resync
commit 4367af5561
   md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds.

Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of
end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of
sync_request_write.  So if the writes complete very quickly, or
scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling
the request and the resync could hang.

Also commit 73d5c38a95
    md: avoid races when stopping resync.

Fix a race condition in this same code in end_sync_write but didn't
make the change in sync_request_write.

This patch updates sync_request_write to fix both of those.
Patch is suitable for 3.1 and later kernels.

NeilBrown 2d4f4f3384 md/raid1: fix use-after-free bug in RAID1 data-check code.
This bug has been present ever since data-check was introduce
in 2.6.16.  However it would only fire if a data-check were
done on a degraded array, which was only possible if the array
has 3 or more devices.  This is certainly possible, but is quite
uncommon.

Since hot-replace was added in 3.3 it can happen more often as
the same condition can arise if not all possible replacements are
present.

The problem is that as soon as we submit the last read request, the
'r1_bio' structure could be freed at any time, so we really should
stop looking at it.  If the last device is being read from we will
stop looking at it.  However if the last device is not due to be read
from, we will still check the bio pointer in the r1_bio, but the
r1_bio might already be free.

So use the read_targets counter to make sure we stop looking for bios
to submit as soon as we have submitted them all.

This fix is suitable for any -stable kernel since 2.6.16.

NeilBrown b357f04a67 md: fix up plugging (again).
The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the
next 'schedule' as that will unplug things.  This could happen at any
call to mempool_alloc.
So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make
sense.

So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread.
As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes
lots of sense.
If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we
wake thread immediately.

RAID5 is a bit different.  Requests are queued for the thread and the
thread is woken by release_stripe.  So we don't need to wake the
thread on failure.
However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any
active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the
thread.  So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request
and waking the thread.

Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a
request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking
up.

Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not
active plugs, just like raid1.

This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later.  I plan to submit it to
-stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline
first to be sure it is completely safe.

NeilBrown 32644afd89 md/raid1: fix bug in read_balance introduced by hot-replace
When we added hot_replace we doubled the number of devices
that could be in a RAID1 array.  So we doubled how far read_balance
would search.  Unfortunately we didn't double the point at which
it looped back to the beginning - so it effectively loops over
all non-replacement disks twice.
This doesn't cause bad behaviour, but it pointless and means we
never read from replacement devices.

Having the 'name' arg optional and defaulting to the current
personality name is no necessary and leads to errors, as when
changing the level of an array we can end up using the
name of the old level instead of the new one.

So make it non-optional and always explicitly pass the name
of the level that the array will be.

NeilBrown aba336bd1d md: raid1/raid10: fix problem with merge_bvec_fn
The new merge_bvec_fn which calls the corresponding function
in subsidiary devices requires that mddev->merge_check_needed
be set if any child has a merge_bvec_fn.

However were were only setting that when a device was hot-added,
not when a device was present from the start.

This bug was introduced in 3.4 so patch is suitable for 3.4.y
kernels.  However that are conflicts in raid10.c so a separate
patch will be needed for 3.4.y.

Jonathan Brassow 4f0a5e012c MD RAID1: Further conditionalize 'fullsync'
A RAID1 device does not necessarily need a fullsync if the bitmap can be used instead.

Similar to commit d6b212f4b1 in raid5.c, if a raid1
device can be brought back (i.e. from a transient failure) it shouldn't need a
complete resync.  Provided the bitmap is not to old, it will have recorded the areas

NeilBrown c6563a8c38 md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.
When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).

So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.

(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
 we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
 A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
 zero to avoid a repeat of this)

The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.

This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be.  At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.

When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors.  So provide an exported function to do that.

NeilBrown 5020ad7d14 md/raid1,raid10: don't compare excess byte during consistency check.
When comparing two pages read from different legs of a mirror, only
compare the bytes that were read, not the whole page.

In most cases we read a whole page, but in some cases with
bad blocks or odd sizes devices we might read fewer than that.

This bug has been present "forever" but at worst it might cause
a report of two many mismatches and generate a little bit
extra resync IO, so there is no need to back-port to -stable

NeilBrown 6b740b8d79 md/raid1: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.

So create a raid1 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.

This introduces a small problem.  There is no locking around calls
the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request.  So a
device added between these could end up getting a request which
violates its merge_bvec_fn.

Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched().  This will work
providing no preemption happens.  If there is is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

NeilBrown dafb20fa34 md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.
md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev.  However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.

Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.

So:
 - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
 - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
   list_for_each_entry,
 - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
   list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

NeilBrown d6b42dcb99 md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.
If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current->bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

This means that the array looks like it is now double the size in some

NeilBrown d890fa2b05 md: Fix some bugs in recovery_disabled handling.
In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead
of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf->
value.
Two problems:
  1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'.
  2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation
     time.
     It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they
     could appear equal and thus disable recovery.
     This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array
     which changes the mddev value.  However the dmraid interface
     doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at
     array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled.

So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so
the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

NeilBrown 34db0cd60f md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.
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.

NeilBrown 3cb0300200 md: removing typedefs: mdk_rdev_t -> struct md_rdev
The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h'
which used to be an include file that defined this thing.

We know which device we just read from so we don't need to
search the bios to find out.  Just use ->read_disk.

Namhyung Kim ba3ae3bee3 md/raid1: factor out common bio handling code
When normal-write and sync-read/write bio completes, we should
find out the disk number the bio belongs to. Factor those common
code out to a separate function.

NeilBrown 01f96c0a99 md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.
Two related problems:

1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
   without subsequently clearing ->thread.  A subsequent call
   to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.

2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
   disappeared either by:
      - holding the ->mutex
      - having an active request, so something else must be keeping
        the array active.
   However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
   mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
   ->thread could theoretically disappear.
   So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.

So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.

Christoph Hellwig 5a7bbad27a block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_request
There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

NeilBrown 079fa166a2 md/raid1,10: Remove use-after-free bug in make_request.
A single request to RAID1 or RAID10 might result in multiple
requests if there are known bad blocks that need to be avoided.

To detect if we need to submit another write request we test:
 	if (sectors_handled < (bio->bi_size >> 9)) {

However this is after we call **_write_done() so the 'bio' no longer
belongs to us - the writes could have completed and the bio freed.

So move the **_write_done call until after the test against
bio->bi_size.

This addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41862

NeilBrown 3a9f28a511 md/raid1: improve handling of read failure during recovery.
If we cannot read a block from anywhere during recovery, there is
now a better approach than just giving up.
We can record a bad block on each device and keep going - being
careful not to clear the bad block when a write succeeds as it might -
it will be a write of incorrect data.

We have now reached the state where - for raid1 - we only call
md_error if md_set_badblocks has failed.

NeilBrown d8f05d2995 md/raid1: record badblocks found during resync etc.
If we find a bad block while writing as part of resync/recovery we
need to report that back to raid1d which must record the bad block,
or fail the device.

Similarly when fixing a read error, a further error should just
record a bad block if possible rather than failing the device.

NeilBrown cd5ff9a16f md/raid1: Handle write errors by updating badblock log.
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.
