In a subsequent patch we will make it possible to change
mddev->raid_disks while a RAID0 or RAID10 array is active. This is
part of the process of reshaping such an array.
This means that we cannot use this value while processes requests
(it is OK to use it during initialisation as we are locked against
changes then).
Both RAID0 and RAID10 have the same value stored in the private data

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.

Some levels expect the 'redundancy group' to be present,
others don't.
So when we change level of an array we might need to
add or remove this group.
This requires fixing up the current practice of overloading ->private
to indicate (when ->pers == NULL) that something needs to be removed.
So create a new ->to_remove to fill that role.
When changing levels, we may need to add or remove attributes. When
changing RAID5 -> RAID6, we both add and remove the same thing. It is
important to catch this and optimise it out as the removal is delayed
until a lock is released, so trying to add immediately would cause
problems.

When an array is stopped we need to remove some
sysfs files which are dependent on the type of array.
We need to delay that deletion as deleting them while holding
reconfig_mutex can lead to deadlocks.
We currently delay them until the array is completely destroyed.
However it is possible to deactivate and then reactivate the array.
It is also possible to need to remove sysfs files when changing level,
which can potentially happen several times before an array is
destroyed.
So we need to delete these files more promptly: as soon as
reconfig_mutex is dropped.
We need to ensure this happens before do_md_run can restart the array,
so we use open_mutex for some extra locking. This is not deadlock
prone.

When the user sets the block device to readwrite then the mddev should
follow suit. Otherwise, the BUG_ON in md_write_start() will be set to

The reverse direction, setting mddev->ro to match a set readonly

Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.
However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:
This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.
So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.

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.

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.

* 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

To prevent deadlock, bios in the hold list should be flushed before

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

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.

evms configures md arrays by:
open device
send ioctl
close device
for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
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.

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

When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards

The post-barrier-flush is sent by md as soon as make_request on the
barrier write completes. For raid5, the data might not be in the
per-device queues yet. So for barrier requests, wait for any
pre-reading to be done so that the request will be in the per-device
queues.
We use the 'preread_active' count to check that nothing is still in
the preread phase, and delay the decrement of this count until after
write requests have been submitted to the underlying devices.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1. This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.
When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device. When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty - we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.
The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.
The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail. If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail. That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.
RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet. So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.
Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted. Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.
That will be done in later patches.

A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the

When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap. If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.
So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it

This patch introduces the snapshot-merge mapping function and updates
__origin_write() so that it doesn't allocate exceptions on any snapshots
that are being merged.
If a write request to a merging snapshot device is to be dispatched
directly to the origin (because the chunk is not remapped or was already
merged), snapshot_merge_map() must make exceptions in other snapshots so
calls do_origin().

To track the completion of exceptions relating to the same location on
the device, the current code selects one exception as primary_pe, links
the other exceptions to it and uses reference counting to wait until all
the reallocations are complete.
It is considered too complicated to extend this code to handle the new
snapshot-merge target, where sets of non-overlapping chunks would also
need to become linked.
Instead, a simpler (but less efficient) approach is taken. Bios are
linked to one exception. When it completes, bios are simply retried,
and if other related exceptions are still outstanding, they'll get
queued again to wait for another one.

Permit in-use snapshot exception data to be 'handed over' from one

that allow the changes made in a snapshot device to be merged back into
its origin device and also allows device resizing.
The basic call sequence is:
dmsetup load new_snapshot (referencing the existing in-use cow device)
- the ctr code detects that the cow is already in use and allows the
two snapshot target instances to be linked together
dmsetup suspend original_snapshot
dmsetup resume new_snapshot
- the new_snapshot becomes live, and if anything now tries to access
the original one it will receive -EIO
dmsetup remove original_snapshot

This patch reinforces the requirement that all I/O must have been
flushed from the table targets while in this state (including any in

This patch adds barrier support for request-based dm.
CORE DESIGN
The design is basically same as bio-based dm, which emulates barrier
by mapping empty barrier bios before/after a barrier I/O.
But request-based dm has been using struct request_queue for I/O
queueing, so the block-layer's barrier mechanism can be used.
o Summary of the block-layer's behavior (which is depended by dm-core)
Request-based dm uses QUEUE_ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH ordered mode for
I/O barrier. It means that when an I/O requiring barrier is found
in the request_queue, the block-layer makes pre-flush request and
post-flush request just before and just after the I/O respectively.
After the ordered sequence starts, the block-layer waits for all
in-flight I/Os to complete, then gives drivers the pre-flush request,
the barrier I/O and the post-flush request one by one.
It means that the request_queue is stopped automatically by
the block-layer until drivers complete each sequence.
o dm-core
For the barrier I/O, treats it as a normal I/O, so no additional
code is needed.
For the pre/post-flush request, flushes caches by the followings:
1. Make the number of empty barrier requests required by target's
num_flush_requests, and map them (dm_rq_barrier()).
2. Waits for the mapped barriers to complete (dm_rq_barrier()).
If error has occurred, save the error value to md->barrier_error
(dm_end_request()).
(*) Basically, the first reported error is taken.
But -EOPNOTSUPP supersedes any error and DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
follows.
3. Requeue the pre/post-flush request if the error value is
DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE. Otherwise, completes with the error value
(dm_rq_barrier_work()).
The pre/post-flush work above is done in the kernel thread (kdmflush)
context, since memory allocation which might sleep is needed in
dm_rq_barrier() but sleep is not allowed in dm_request_fn(), which is
an irq-disabled context.
Also, clones of the pre/post-flush request share an original, so
such clones can't be completed using the softirq context.
Instead, complete them in the context of underlying device drivers.
It should be safe since there is no I/O dispatching during
the completion of such clones.
For suspend, the workqueue of kdmflush needs to be flushed after
the request_queue has been stopped. Otherwise, the next flush work
can be kicked even after the suspend completes.
TARGET INTERFACE
No new interface is added.
Just use the existing num_flush_requests in struct target_type
as same as bio-based dm.

dm_done() will be used in barrier completion, which can't use and
doesn't need softirq. The softirq_done callback needs to get a clone
from an original request but it can't in the case of barrier, where
an original request is shared by multiple clones. On the other hand,
the completion of barrier clones doesn't involve re-submitting requests,
which was the primary reason of the need for softirq.

The semantics of bio-based dm were changed recently in the case of
suspend with "--nolockfs" but without "--noflush".
Before 2.6.30, I/Os submitted before the suspend invocation were always
flushed. From 2.6.30 onwards, I/Os submitted before the suspend
invocation might not be flushed. (For details, see
http://marc.info/?t=123994433400003&r=1&w=2)
This patch brings the behaviour of request-based dm into line with
bio-based dm, simplifying the code and preparing for a subsequent patch
that will wait for all in_flight I/Os to complete without stopping
request_queue and use dm_wait_for_completion() for it.
This change in semantics simplifies the suspend code as follows:
o Suspend is implemented as stopping request_queue
in request-based dm, and all I/Os are queued in the request_queue
even after suspend is invoked.
o In the old semantics, we had to track whether I/Os were
queued before or after the suspend invocation, so a special
barrier-like request called 'suspend marker' was introduced.
o With the new semantics, we don't need to flush any I/O
so we can remove the marker and the code related to the marker
handling and I/O flushing.
After removing this codes, the suspend sequence is now:
1. Flush all I/Os by lock_fs() if needed.
2. Stop dispatching any I/O by stopping the request_queue.
3. Wait for all in-flight I/Os to be completed or requeued.

Hold all write bios when errors are handled.

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

Remove the hack where we allocate an extra bi_io_vec to store additional
private data. This hack prevents us from supporting barriers in
dm-raid1 without first making another little block layer change.
Instead of doing that, this patch eliminates the bi_io_vec abuse by
storing the region number directly in the low bits of bi_private.
We need to store two things for each bio, the pointer to the main io
structure and, if parallel writes were requested, an index indicating
which of these writes this bio belongs to. There can be at most
BITS_PER_LONG regions - 32 or 64.
The index (region number) was stored in the last (hidden) bio vector and
the pointer to struct io was stored in bi_private.
This patch now aligns "struct io" on BITS_PER_LONG bytes and stores the
region number in the low BITS_PER_LONG bits of bi_private.

The "wipe key" message is used to wipe the volume key from memory
temporarily, for example when suspending to RAM.
But the initialisation vector in ESSIV mode is calculated from the
hashed volume key, so the wipe message should wipe this IV key too and
reinitialise it when the volume key is reinstated.
This patch adds an IV wipe method called from a wipe message callback.
ESSIV is then reinitialised using the init function added by the

Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events
on a device that is being removed.
_hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the
outstanding events. Sending the events requests the _hash_lock
again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid.
This patch introduces a separate lock around regions that modify the
link to the hash table (dm_set_mdptr) or the name or uuid so that
dm_copy_name_and_uuid no longer needs _hash_lock.
Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists
so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG()
while md is being freed.

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.

Resolve the conflict between v2.6.32-rc7 where dn_def_dev_handler
gets a small bug fix and the sysctl tree where I am removing all
sysctl strategy routines.
Normally is it not safe to allow a raid5 that is both dirty and
degraded to be assembled without explicit request from that admin, as
it can cause hidden data corruption.
This is because 'dirty' means that the parity cannot be trusted, and
'degraded' means that the parity needs to be used.
However, if the device that is missing contains only parity, then
there is no issue and assembly can continue.
This particularly applies when a RAID5 is being converted to a RAID6
and there is an unclean shutdown while the conversion is happening.
So check for whether the degraded space only contains parity, and
in that case, allow the assembly.

When a reshape finds that it can add spare devices into the array,
those devices might already be 'in_sync' if they are beyond the old
size of the array, or they might not if they are within the array.
The first case happens when we change an N-drive RAID5 to an
N+1-drive RAID5.
The second happens when we convert an N-drive RAID5 to an
N+1-drive RAID6.
So set the flag more carefully.
Also, ->recovery_offset is only meaningful when the flag is clear,
so only set it in that case.
This change needs the preceding two to ensure that the non-in_sync
device doesn't get evicted from the array when it is stopped, in the
case where v0.90 metadata is used.

This is a combination that didn't really make sense before.
However when a reshape is converting e.g. raid5 -> raid6, the extra
device is not fully in-sync, but is certainly active and contains
important data.
So allow that start to be meaningful and in particular get
the 'recovery_offset' value (which is needed for any non-in-sync
active device) from the reshape_position.

Each device has its own 'recovery_offset' showing how far
recovery has progressed on the device.
As the only real significance of this is that fact that it can
be stored in the metadata and recovered at restart, and as
only 1.x metadata can do this, we were only updating
'recovery_offset' to 'curr_resync_completed' when updating
v1.x metadata.
But this is wrong, and we will shortly make limited use of this
field in v0.90 metadata.
So move the update into common code.

This value is visible through sysfs and is used by mdadm
when it manages a reshape (backing up data that is about to be
rearranged). So it is important that it is always correct.
Current it does not get updated properly when a reshape
starts which can cause problems when assembling an array
that is in the middle of being reshaped.

If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it
until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that
point.
So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure),
leave 'resync_max' unchanged.
This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not
change the size of the array. For such operations mdadm needs to
monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being
reshaped. If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of
mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless.
This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have
different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk
size, largest first.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659
For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The
first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has
large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots:
snapshot1: ====A==== ====B====
snapshot2: ==========C==========
(Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.)
A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It
triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them
together using A as the 'primary' exception.
Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and
C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in
progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done
to it: B and C are not linked.
If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because
there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to
wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes
data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2.
To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending
order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links
between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above -
both A and B now get linked to C.

md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines,
which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address
for CPU based calculations.
For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages.
For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros.
For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the
hardware.
Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to
raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a
'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly.
So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks.
When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and
in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices,
conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices.
However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of
currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes.
Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always
'new' i.e. ->raid_disks.
Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places.
This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while
in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices.
md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.
