Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue:
"
I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5.
It's not abnormal other than it's 3-disk, with one being SSD (sdc) and
the other two being write-mostly:

The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the
generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code,
but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to
md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.

If ->run() fails, it can either free the data structures it

However:
md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which
causes problems in some personalities.
raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data,
which will become a problem when we fix md.c

Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
was found:
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
disc.number set to slot number)
ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.

When a node joins, it does not know of other nodes performing resync.
So, each node keeps the resync information in it's LVB. When a new
node joins, it reads the LVB of each "online" bitmap.
[TODO] The new node attempts to get the PW lock on other bitmap, if
it is successful, it reads the bitmap and performs the resync (if

DLM offers callbacks when a node fails and the lock remastery

3. recover_done: called when all nodes have completed recover_slot
recover_slot() and recover_done() are also called when the node joins

Gather all the changes that can happen atomically and might

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
rename is accordingly.
Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using
mddev->private. This flexibility will be useful in level_store().
Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was
introduced).
Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a
big problem at the moment.

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
is accessing the ->private data
2/ it frees the ->private data.
All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.
So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.
So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further. So the
name is inappropriate.
Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.
So:
-rename write_lock to lock
-document what it protects
-remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq). This can be
cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

"Three fixes for md.
I did have a largish set of locking changes queued, but late testing

particularly as I'll be AFK for a few weeks. So expect a larger batch

md: Check MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING as well as ->sync_thread.
md: fix semicolon.cocci warnings
md/raid5: fetch_block must fetch all the blocks handle_stripe_dirtying wants.
A recent change to md started the ->sync_thread from a asynchronously
from a work_queue rather than synchronously. This means that there
can be a small window between the time when MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
and when ->sync_thread is set.
So code that checks ->sync_thread might now conclude that the thread
has not been started and (because a lock is held) will not be started.
That is no longer the case.
Most of those places are best fixed by testing MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
as well. To make this completely reliable, we wake_up(&resync_wait)
after clearing that flag as well as after clearing ->sync_thread.
Other places are better served by flushing the relevant workqueue
to ensure that that if the sync thread was starting, it has now
started. This is particularly best if we are about to stop the
sync thread.

The main 'md' thread is needed for processing writes, so if it blocks

In general we don't allow an array to be stopped if it is in use.
However if the array hasn't really been started yet, then any

This means that if something goes wrong while assembling an array
it cannot reliably be un-assembled - STOP_ARRAY could fail.

The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel
is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number.
This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and
programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and
find that it has created something. It is easy for a race to cause
udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to
suddenly re-appear.
For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices
echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array
This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm
normally avoids.
Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does
not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems.
This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR)
and a minor of 512 and up. This devices created by writing to
new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).
If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.
Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.
We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.
This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.
This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.
So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.
Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.

If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),

The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:

md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file. But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.
So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.
Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write. Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This

level_store() currently does not make sure the metadata is
updates to reflect the new raid level. It simply sets MD_CHANGE_DEVS.
Any level with a ->thread will quickly notice this and update the
metadata. However RAID0 and Linear do not have a thread so no
metadata update happens until the array is stopped. At that point the
metadata is written.
This is later that we would like. While the delay doesn't risk any
data it can cause confusion. So if there is no md thread, immediately
update the metadata after a level change.

When adding a new device into an array it is normally important to
clear any stale data from ->recovery_offset else the new device may
not be recovered properly.
However when re-adding a device which is known to be nearly in-sync,
this is not needed and can be detrimental. The (bitmap-based)
resync will still happen, and further recovery is only needed from
where-ever it was already up to.
So if save_raid_disk is set, signifying a re-add, don't clear
->recovery_offset.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Since commit d70ed2e4fa
MD: Allow restarting an interrupted incremental recovery.
we don't write out the metadata to devices while they are recovering.
This had a good reason, but has unfortunate consequences. This patch
changes things to make them work better.
At issue is what happens if the array is shut down while a recovery is
happening, particularly a bitmap-guided recovery.
Ideally the recovery should pick up where it left off.
However the metadata cannot represent the state "A recovery is in
process which is guided by the bitmap".
Before the above mentioned commit, we wrote metadata to the device
which said "this is being recovered and it is up to <here>". So after
a restart, a full recovery (not bitmap-guided) would happen from
where-ever it was up to.
After the commit the metadata wasn't updated so it still said "This
device is fully in sync with <this> event count". That leads to a
bitmap-based recovery following the whole bitmap, which should be a
lot less work than a full recovery from some starting point. So this
was an improvement.
However updates some metadata but not all leads to other problems.
In particular, the metadata written to the fully-up-to-date device
record that the array has all devices present (even though some are
recovering). So on restart, mdadm wants to find all devices and
expects them to have current event counts.
Obviously it doesn't (some have old event counts) so (when assembling
with --incremental) it waits indefinitely for the rest of the expected
devices.
It really is wrong to not update all the metadata together. Do that
is bound to cause confusion.
Instead, we should make it possible to record the truth in the
metadata. i.e. we need to be able to record that a device is being
recovered based on the bitmap.
We already have a Feature flag to say that recovery is happening. We
now add another one to say that it is a bitmap-based recovery.
With this we can remove the code that disables the write-out of
metadata on some devices.
So this patch:
- moves the setting of 'saved_raid_disk' from add_new_disk to
the validate_super methods. This makes sure it is always set
properly, both when adding a new device to an array, and when
assembling an array from a collection of devices.
- Adds a metadata flag MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_BITMAP which is only
used if MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_OFFSET is set, and record that a
bitmap-based recovery is allowed.
This is only present in v1.x metadata. v0.90 doesn't support
devices which are in the middle of recovery at all.
- Only skips writing metadata to Faulty devices.
- Also allows rdev state to be set to "-insync" via sysfs.
This can be used for external-metadata arrays. When the
'role' is set the device is assumed to be in-sync. If, after
setting the role, we set the state to "-insync", the role is
moved to saved_raid_disk which effectively says the device is
partly in-sync with that slot and needs a bitmap recovery.

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.
If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.
However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update. We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.
This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag. If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

raid5: Use slow_path to release stripe when mddev->thread is null
When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack
badblock until md_update_sb() is called.
But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call
md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always
be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write()
can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock.
To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is
running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for
sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock.
This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR
(which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a
metadata update in that case.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.
So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.
Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue'
has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in
md_alloc().
However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine
for the new level is called for an array which has already had the
stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final
settings.
So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store().
A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes
discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a
RAID0.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which
blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.

Here's the big driver core / sysfs update for 3.13-rc1.
There's lots of dev_groups updates for different subsystems, as they all
get slowly migrated over to the safe versions of the attribute groups
(removing userspace races with the creation of the sysfs files.) Also
in here are some kobject updates, devres expansions, and the first round
of Tejun's sysfs reworking to enable it to be used by other subsystems
as a backend for an in-kernel filesystem.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.
This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.
There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so
that all buffers get flushed.
So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will
be nothing to flush.
However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just
moments before some other process which was writing closes their file
descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might
not get flushed.
So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev(). However at this point it is
holding ->reconfig_mutex. So if the array is currently 'clean' then
the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array
can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread
can get ->reconfig_mutex. So we deadlock.
We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take
->reconfig_mutex.
However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it
after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array.
This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward.
So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED. Set it before calling
sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the
STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further
opens.
It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to
it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl. Just don't do that.

mddev->flags is mostly used to record if an update of the
metadata is needed. Sometimes the whole field is tested

that actually need testing.

Whe we set the safe_mode_timeout to a smaller value we trigger a timeout

md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added
to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.
This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
subsequent release.
More specifically:
If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
is a bitmap is present).
If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there
was no write.
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

When a device has failed, it needs to be removed from the personality
module before it can be removed from the array as a whole.
The first step is performed by md_check_recovery() which is called
from the raid management thread.
So when a HOT_REMOVE ioctl arrives, wait briefly for md_check_recovery
to have run. This increases the chance that the ioctl will succeed.

read-only arrays should stay that way as much as possible.
Updating the metadata - which could be triggered by a re-add
while assembling the array metadata - should be avoided.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When assembling an array incrementally we might want to make
it device available when "enough" devices are present, but maybe
not "all" devices are present.
If the remaining devices appear before the array is actually used,
they should be added transparently.
We do this by using the "read-auto" mode where the array acts like
it is read-only until a write request arrives.
Current an add-device request switches a read-auto array to active.
This means that only one device can be added after the array is first
made read-auto. This isn't a problem for RAID5, but is not ideal for
RAID6 or RAID10.
Also we don't really want to switch the array to read-auto at all
when re-adding a device as this doesn't really imply any change.
So:
- remove the "md_update_sb()" call from add_new_disk(). This isn't
really needed as just adding a disk doesn't require a metadata
update. Instead, just set MD_CHANGE_DEVS. This will effect a
metadata update soon enough, once the array is not read-only.
- Allow the ADD_NEW_DISK ioctl to succeed without activating a
read-auto array, providing the MD_DISK_SYNC flag is set.
In this case, the device will be rejected if it cannot be added
with the correct device number, or has an incorrect event count.
- Teach remove_and_add_spares() to be careful about adding spares
when the array is read-only (or read-mostly) - only add devices
that are thought to be in-sync, and only do it if the array is
in-sync itself.
- In md_check_recovery, use remove_and_add_spares in the read-only
case, rather than open coding just the 'remove' part of it.

If a fail device or a spare is removed from an array, there is
not need to make the array 'active'. If/when the array does become
active for some other reason the metadata will be update to reflect
the removal.
If that never happens and the array is stopped while still read-auto,
then there is no loss in forgetting the that the device had 'failed'.
A read-only array will leave failed devices attached to
the array personality, so we need to explicitly call
remove_and_add_spares() to free it (clearing Blocked just
like we do in store_slot()).
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
slot_store and remove_and_add_spares both call ->hot_remove_disk(),
but with slightly different tests and consequences, which is
at least untidy and might be buggy.
So modify remove_and_add_spaces() so that it can be asked
to remove a specific device, and call it from slot_store().
We also clear the Blocked flag to ensure that doesn't prevent
removal. The purpose of Blocked is to prevent automatic removal
by the kernel before an error is acknowledged.
If the array is read/write then user-space would have not reason
to remove a device unless it was known to be 'spare' or 'faulty' in
which it would have already cleared the Blocked flag.
If the array is read-only, the flag might still be blocked, but
there is no harm in clearing the flag for read-only arrays.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Normally we don't even try to update the metadata if
the array is read-only. However future patches
will increase the number of things that can happen on a read-only
array, so it is safest to explicitly disable this.
Every time that mddev->ro is set to 0, either
- md_update_sb will be called again (at least if MD_CHANGE_DEVS
is set) or
- the mddev->thread is scheduled, which will also run
md_update_sb if needed.
So this is safe: if the array ever become read-write the
metadata will be updated.

This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
name. It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects
Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging
MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs. This
patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure
it is about to operate on something valid. This patch also checks for
'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'.
Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in
'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation.

If something has failed while the array was read-auto,
then when we switch to 'active' we need to update the metadata.
This will happen anyway but it is good to expedite it, and
also to ensure any failed device has been released by the
underlying device before we try to action the ioctl which
caused us to switch to 'active' mode.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:
disable setting of the available size on each device for
RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so
can change the effective layout of data.
Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes
cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
safe.
Without this change:
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
then read to the end of the array
can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.
These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.

If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.
By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.

If a resync is aborted cleanly, ->curr_resync is a reliable
record of where we got up to.
If there was an error it is less reliable but we always know that
->curr_resync_completed is safe.
So add a flag MD_RECOVERY_ERROR to differentiate between these cases
and set recovery_cp accordingly.

md will current only only checkpoint recovery or resync ever 1/16th
of the device size. As devices get larger this can become a long time
an so a lot of work that might need to be duplicated after a shutdown.
So add a time-based checkpoint. Every 5 minutes limits the amount of
duplicated effort to at most 5 minutes, and has almost zero impact on
performance.

When we remove a device from an md array, the final removal of
the "dev-XX" sys entry is run asynchronously.
If we then re-add that device immediately before the worker thread
gets to run, we can end up trying to add the "dev-XX" sysfs entry back
before it has been removed.
So in both places where we add a device, call
flush_workqueue(md_misc_wq);
before taking the md lock (as holding the md lock can prevent removal
to complete).

New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.
The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.
All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.
Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

md_stop() would stop an array, but not free various attached
data structures.
For internal arrays, these are freed later in do_md_stop() or
mddev_put(), but they don't apply for dm-raid arrays.
So get md_stop() to free them, and only all it from dm-raid.
For internal arrays we now call __md_stop.

If 'resync_max' is set to 0 (as is often done when starting a
reshape, so the mdadm can remain in control during a sensitive
period), and if the reshape request is initially delayed because
another array using the same array is resyncing or reshaping etc,
when user-space cannot easily tell when the delay changes from being
due to a conflicting reshape, to being due to resync_max = 0.
So introduce a new state: (curr_resync == 3) to reflect this, make
sure it is visible both via /proc/mdstat and via the "sync_completed"
sysfs attribute, and ensure that the event transition from one delay
state to the other is properly notified.

If you make an array bigger but suppress resync of the new region with
mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --size=max --assume-clean
then stop the array before anything is written to it, the effect of
the "--assume-clean" is lost and the array will resync the new space
when restarted.
So ensure that we update the metadata in the case.

In some cases array are started in 'read-auto' state where in
nothing gets written to any device until the array is written
to. The purpose of this is to make accidental auto-assembly
of the wrong arrays less of a risk, and to allow arrays to be
started to read suspend-to-disk images without actually changing
anything (as might happen if the array were dirty and a
resync seemed necessary).
Explicitly writing the 'sync_action' for a read-auto array currently
doesn't clear the read-auto state, so the sync action doesn't
happen, which can be confusing.
So allow any successful write to sync_action to clear any read-auto
state.

"Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains:

- Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes

- Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
- A few other minor fixups."
Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.
However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.
So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).
This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio
set; as a result various users were open coding it and using
__bio_clone().
This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.
This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to
implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the
bio was originally allocated from.
This adds a new field to struct bio (bi_pool) and changes
bio_alloc_bioset() to use it. This makes various bio destructors
unnecessary, so they're then deleted.

commit 27a7b260f7
md: Fix handling for devices from 2TB to 4TB in 0.90 metadata.
changed 0.90 metadata handling to truncated size to 4TB as that is
all that 0.90 can record.
However for RAID0 and Linear, 0.90 doesn't need to record the size, so
this truncation is not needed and causes working arrays to become too small.
So avoid the truncation for RAID0 and Linear
This bug was introduced in 3.1 and is suitable for any stable kernels
from then onwards.

This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I
cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and
testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not
show any performance difference by removing it.
So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to
be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active.
This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the
updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that
the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large
numbers of updates together.
Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and
will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a
measurable effect.

do_md_stop tests mddev->openers while holding ->open_mutex,
and fails if this count is too high.
So callers do not need to check mddev->openers and doing so isn't
very meaningful as they don't hold ->open_mutex so the number could
change.
So remove the unnecessary tests on mddev->openers.
These are not called often enough for there to be any gain in
an early test on ->open_mutex to avoid the need for a slightly more
costly mutex_lock call.

md will refuse to stop an array if any other fd (or mounted fs) is
using it.
When any fs is unmounted of when the last open fd is closed all
pending IO will be flushed (e.g. sync_blockdev call in __blkdev_put)
so there will be no pending IO to worry about when the array is
stopped.
However in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to stop the array one
must first get and open fd on the block device.
If some fd is being used to write to the block device and it is closed
after mdadm open the block device, but before mdadm issues the
STOP_ARRAY ioctl, then there will be no last-close on the md device so
__blkdev_put will not call sync_blockdev.
If this happens, then IO can still be in-flight while md tears down
the array and bad things can happen (use-after-free and subsequent
havoc).
So in the case where do_md_stop is being called from an open file
descriptor, call sync_block after taking the mutex to ensure there
will be no new openers.
This is needed when setting a read-write device to read-only too.

commit c6563a8c38
md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.
introduced a 'new_data_offset' attribute which should normally
be the same as 'data_offset', but can be explicitly set to a different
value to allow a reshape operation to move the data.
Unfortunately when the 'data_offset' is explicitly set through
sysfs, the new_data_offset is not also set, so the two would become
out-of-sync incorrectly.
One result of this is that trying to set the 'size' after the
'data_offset' would fail because it is not permitted to set the size
when the 'data_offset' and 'new_data_offset' are different - as that
can be confusing.
Consequently when mdadm tried to do this while assembling an IMSM
array it would fail.
This bug was introduced in 3.5-rc1.
