Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).
So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.
(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
zero to avoid a repeat of this)
The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.
This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be. At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.
When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors. So provide an exported function to do that.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.
To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
reversed and it will undo.
However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
wait until it completes.
So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.
This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
change in a reshape. Then the explicit statement of what direction is
being used will be more useful.
This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.
Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.
So:
- rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
- create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
list_for_each_entry,
- use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

When an array is failed (some data inaccessible) then there is no

However that may be value in re-adding a recently removed device.

In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead
of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf->

Two problems:
1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'.
2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation
time.
It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they
could appear equal and thus disable recovery.
This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array
which changes the mddev value. However the dmraid interface
doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at
array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled.
So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so
the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
disappeared either by:
- holding the ->mutex
- having an active request, so something else must be keeping

However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
->thread could theoretically disappear.
So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.

There are two times that we might read in raid5:
1/ when a read request fits within a chunk on a single
working device.
In this case, if there is any bad block in the range of
the read, we simply fail the cache-bypass read and
perform the read though the stripe cache.
2/ when reading into the stripe cache. In this case we
mark as failed any device which has a bad block in that
strip (1 page wide).
Note that we will both avoid reading and avoid writing.
This is correct (as we will never read from the block, there
is no point writing), but not optimal (as writing could 'fix'
the error) - that will be addressed later.
If we have not seen any write errors on the device yet, we treat a bad
block like a recent read error. This will encourage an attempt to fix
the read error which will either generate a write error, or will
ensure good data is stored there. We don't yet forget the bad block
in that case. That comes later.
Now that we honour bad blocks when reading we can allow devices with
bad blocks into the array.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
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.

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.

This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now

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()

There are few situations where it would make any sense to add a spare
when reducing the number of devices in an array, but it is
conceivable: A 6 drive RAID6 with two missing devices could be
reshaped to a 5 drive RAID6, and a spare could become available
just in time for the reshape, but not early enough to have been
recovered first. 'freezing' recovery can make this easy to
do without any races.
However doing such a thing is a bad idea. md will not record the
partially-recovered state of the 'spare' and when the reshape
finished it will think that the spare is still spare.
Easiest way to avoid this confusion is to simply disallow it.

As the comment says, the tail of this loop only applies to devices
that are not fully in sync, so if In_sync was set, we should avoid
the rest of the loop.
This bug will hardly ever cause an actual problem. The worst it
can do is allow an array to be assembled that is dirty and degraded,
which is not generally a good idea (without warning the sysadmin
first).
This will only happen if the array is RAID4 or a RAID5/6 in an
intermediate state during a reshape and so has one drive that is
all 'parity' - no data - while some other device has failed.
This is certainly possible, but not at all common.

During a recovery of reshape the early part of some devices might be
in-sync while the later parts are not.
We we know we are looking at an early part it is good to treat that
part as in-sync for stripe calculations.
This is particularly important for a reshape which suffers device
failure. Treating the data as in-sync can mean the difference between
data-safety and data-loss.

When we are reshaping an array, the device failure combinations
that cause us to decide that the array as failed are more subtle.
In particular, any 'spare' will be fully in-sync in the section
of the array that has already been reshaped, thus failures that
affect only that section are less critical.
So encode this subtlety in a new function and call it as appropriate.
The case that showed this problem was a 4 drive RAID5 to 8 drive RAID6
conversion where the last two devices failed.
This resulted in:
good good good good incomplete good good failed failed
while converting a 5-drive RAID6 to 8 drive RAID5
The incomplete device causes the whole array to look bad,
bad as it was actually good for the section that had been
converted to 8-drives, all the data was actually safe.

When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds
from the end of the devices to the beginning.
If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare)
we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape
progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records
that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would
only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset
number would be measured from the wrong end of the device.
Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be
recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active
to incorporate it in the array.
This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario:
A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined
operation.
The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a
spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that
spare as it progresses. The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole
time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from
it, but must not because there is no valid data.
If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return
to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update
the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to
include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed
reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

much ensure to initialise the whole entry, not just the part that
is currently relevant. Otherwise if we enlarge the array again,
we will reference uninitialised values.
As grow_buffers/shrink_buffer now want to use a count that is stored
explicity in the raid_conf, they should get it from there rather than
being passed it as a parameter.

Many 'printk' messages from the raid456 module mention 'raid5' even
though it may be a 'raid6' or even 'raid4' array. This can cause
confusion.
Also the actual array name is not always reported and when it is

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.

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.

======
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.

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.

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.

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.

The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).
By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6
echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for
further multicore experimentation.

In the synchronous implementation of stripe dirtying we processed a
degraded stripe with one call to handle_stripe_dirtying6(). I.e.
compute the missing blocks from the other drives, then copy in the new
data and reconstruct the parities.
In the asynchronous case we do not perform stripe operations directly.
Instead, operations are scheduled with flags to be later serviced by
raid_run_ops. So, for the degraded case the final reconstruction step
can only be carried out after all blocks have been brought up to date by
being read, or computed. Like the raid5 case schedule_reconstruction()
sets STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT to request a parity generation pass and
through operation chaining can handle compute and reconstruct in a
single raid_run_ops pass.

The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.
The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case
except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others
are supported:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
- copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
- generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
- copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT
- recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
- verify that the parity is correct
The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely:
1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct)
2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate)

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.
The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.
It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.

The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape,
just normal IO.
But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being
used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for
all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed.
However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period
of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds
needlessly.
So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is
trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can
drop to zero.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another. While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending. Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection. The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency". Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time. This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
"oversee" a resync/reshape process. For example when doing an
in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).
The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
advancing beyond a particular point.
So user-space can:
suspend IO to the first section and back it up
set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.
However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.
It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.
One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
(it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
on that). This defeats some of the double buffering.
With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.
To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
and the value of sync_max. This will usually be a good time for user
space to update sync_max.
If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
(together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
(one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
and stops. So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
insignificant period of time.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.
We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).
So:
- make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
- report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
- allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.
This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

We currently update the metadata :
1/ every 3Megabytes
2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in
the metadata as still containing old-layout data.
Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the
face of a crash/restart. So it should really be time based rather
than size based. So change it to "every 10 seconds".
Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array
'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every
stripe.
For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if
some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the
constant metadata update is pointless.
So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
writing 'new-layout' data.

When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read
the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data
at that offset.
In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before
we even consider writing. But when restriping an array without
changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have
some data to available write before the read has happened at the same
location. This would require some stripes to be in cache already.
To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing,
that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of
being read. And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such
before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed.

mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.
Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value
is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the

During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are
'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are

When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of
the array to the beginning.
md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning
to the end. So largely ignore them use the internal state variable
"reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next.
Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6,
3 otherwise).
We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before
the array is reshaped to a smaller size. This is because simply
reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape
is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at
the ends of the devices.
Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write
an appropriately small size to md/array_size.
When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer
needed and fix up ->degraded.

The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be
