NeilBrown 2ca68f5ed7 md/raid1: store behind-write pages in bi_vecs.
When performing write-behind we allocate pages to store the data
during write.
Previously we just keep a list of pages.  Now we keep a list of
bi_vec which includes offset and size.
This means that the r1bio has complete information to create a new
bio which will be needed for retrying after write errors.

If we succeed in writing to a block that was recorded as

NeilBrown 1f68f0c4b6 md/raid1: avoid writing to known-bad blocks on known-bad drives.
If we have seen any write error on a drive, then don't write to
any known-bad blocks on that drive.
If necessary, we divide the write request up into pieces just
like we do for reads, so each piece is either all written or
all not written to any given drive.

NeilBrown de393cdea6 md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.

If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.

We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.

This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.

It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.

When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).

We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata.   This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed.  Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.

Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.

The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks.  So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

NeilBrown 06f603851f md/raid1: avoid reading known bad blocks during resync
When performing resync/etc, keep the size of the request
small enough that it doesn't overlap any known bad blocks.
Devices with badblocks at the start of the request are completely
excluded.
If there is nowhere to read from due to bad blocks, record
a bad block on each target device.

Now that we never read from known-bad-blocks we can allow devices with
known-bad-blocks into a RAID1.

NeilBrown d2eb35acfd md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks.
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
  1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
     the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
     there.
  2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
  3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
     different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
     could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
     device, but can still be served by the array.
     This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
     per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
  4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
     and queue another request for the rest.

This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.

'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.

NeilBrown 5389042ffa md: change managed of recovery_disabled.
If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.

Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1.  For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.

So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.

This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.

NeilBrown b098636cf0 md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.
The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp),
records where a resync is up to.  A value of 0 means the array is
not known to be in-sync at all.  A value of MaxSector means the array
is believed to be fully in-sync.

When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is
increased, the array can be increased to match.  This process sets
resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of
the array gets resynced.

However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary
and may be undesirable.  So it would be good if the implied resync
after the array is resized could be avoided.

So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array
is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while
resync/recovery is 'frozen'.  Changing it once resync has started is
not going to be useful anyway.

This allows the array to be resized without a resync by:
  write 'frozen' to 'sync_action'
  write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start)
  write 'none' to 'resync_start'
  write 'idle' to 'sync_action'.

Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing
raid1/raid5.  Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be
more careful in our tests.

The current handling and freeing of these pages is a bit fragile.
We only keep the list of allocated pages in each bio, so we need to
still have a valid bio when freeing the pages, which is a bit clumsy.

be found and freed when we are finished with the r1_bio.

NeilBrown 7ca78d57d1 md/raid1: try fix_sync_read_error before process_checks.
If we get a read error during resync/recovery we current repeat with
single-page reads to find out just where the error is, and possibly
read each page from a different device.

With check/repair we don't currently do that, we just fail.
However it is possible that while all devices fail on the large 64K
read, we might be able to satisfy each 4K from one device or another.

So call fix_sync_read_error before process_checks to maximise the
chance of finding good data and writing it out to the devices with
read errors.

For this to work, we need to set the 'uptodate' flags properly after
fix_sync_read_error has succeeded.

Martin K. Petersen a91a2785b2 block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an

capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Commit 4044ba58dd supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error

so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.

So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple

Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.

This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting
any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and
possible handle the write completion at that point.

Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts

Tejun Heo e9c7469bb4 md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.

* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
  processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
  queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.

* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
  logic.  Retry logic is removed.

* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
  be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
  deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
  is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.

For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.

* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
  request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.

* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
  biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
  of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
  writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
  is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.

* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.

Christoph Hellwig 7b6d91daee block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request
Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

NeilBrown af3a2cd6b8 md: Fix read balancing in RAID1 and RAID10 on drives > 2TB
read_balance uses a "unsigned long" for a sector number which
will get truncated beyond 2TB.
This will cause read-balancing to be non-optimal, and can cause
data to be read from the 'wrong' branch during a resync.  This has a
very small chance of returning wrong data.

NeilBrown e555190d82 md/raid1: delay reads that could overtake behind-writes.
When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.

So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.

NeilBrown 964147d5c8 md/raid1: fix counting of write targets.
There is a very small race window when writing to a
RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong
time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device,
but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that
the write was sent.

Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption.  This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).

Suitable for any pending -stable kernel.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

NeilBrown 627a2d3c29 md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better.
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.

NeilBrown d0e260782c md: revert incorrect fix for read error handling in raid1.
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.

Andre Noll ac5e7113e7 md: Push down data integrity code to personalities.
This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

   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.

NeilBrown 409c57f380 md: enable suspend/resume of md devices.
To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.

The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.

So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.

There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module

Andre Noll 58c0fed400 md: Make mddev->size sector-based.
This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors"
and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of
1K-blocks in it.

All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted
accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get
rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two.

In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues
have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses
strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

NeilBrown 73d5c38a95 md: avoid races when stopping resync.
There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time
which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed.

When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry
is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having
completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed.  So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.

Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.

The first of these requires action in raid10.c
The second requires action in raid1.c and raid10.c

NeilBrown 4706b349f4 md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.
If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, 
we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever)
rather than failing the whole array.

However the codes doesn't quite do that.  We attempt a readbalance
which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. 

Instead:  If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just
failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.

NeilBrown 4044ba58dd md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.

So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

Cheng Renquan 159ec1fc06 md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

Tejun Heo 074a7aca7a block: move stats from disk to part0
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...

* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
  is not part0.  ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().

* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.

* part_round_stats() is updated similary.  It handles part0 stats
  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing
parentheses around macro parameters.

Tejun Heo c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

Dan Williams b5470dc5fc md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write
md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete.  For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.

Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN.  The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail.  Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.

md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

Neil Brown 199050ea1f rationalise return value for ->hot_add_disk method.
For all array types but linear, ->hot_add_disk returns 1 on
success, 0 on failure.
For linear, it returns 0 on success and -errno on failure.

This doesn't cause a functional problem because the ->hot_add_disk
function of linear is used quite differently to the others.
However it is confusing.

So convert all to return 0 for success or -errno on failure
and fix call sites to match.
