32f9f570d0 MD: ignore discard request for hard disks of hybid raid1/raid10 array
In SSD/hard disk hybid storage, discard request should be ignored for hard
disk. We used to be doing this way, but the unplug path forgets it.

This is suitable for stable tree since v3.6.

7e83ccbecd md/raid10: Allow skipping recovery when clean arrays are assembled
When an array is assembled incrementally with mdadm -I -R
and the array switches to "active" mode, md starts a recovery.

If the array was clean, the "fullsync" flag will be 0. Skip
the full recovery in this case, as RAID1 does (the code was
actually copied from the sync_request() method of RAID1).

8be185f2c9 raid10: Use bio_reset()
More prep work for immutable bio vecs, mainly getting rid of references
to bi_idx.

bio_reset was being open coded in a few places. The one in sync_request
was a bit nontrivial to convert, so could use some extra eyeballs.

5b83636ae3 block: Change bio_split() to respect the current value of bi_idx
In the current code bio_split() won't be seeing partially completed bios
so this doesn't change any behaviour, but this makes the code a bit
clearer as to what bio_split() actually requires.

The immediate purpose of the patch is removing unnecessary bi_idx
references, but the end goal is to allow partial completed bios to be
submitted, which along with immutable biovecs enables effecient bio
splitting.

Some of the callers were (double) checking that bios could be split, so
update their checks too.

ee0b024403 md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock with freeze_array()
When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains
all pending requests by calling freeze_array().
This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep,
but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather
than in the per-array request queue.

When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process
plug to the per-array request queue (from which
flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up
freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so
it will block forever.

So add the requires wake_up() calls.

This bug was introduced by commit
   f54a9d0e59
for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present
since linux-3.6.  As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is
suitable for -stable.

9a3152ab02 MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2)
MD RAID10:  Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2)

This patch addresses raid arrays that have a number of devices that cannot
be evenly divided by 'far_copies'.  (E.g. 5 devices, far_copies = 2)  This
case must be handled differently because it causes that last set to be of
a different size than the rest of the sets.  We must compute a new modulo
for this last set so that copied chunks are properly wrapped around.

Example use_far_sets=1, far_copies=2, near_copies=1, devices=5:
                "far" algorithm
        dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5
	==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	[ A   B ] [ C    D   E ]
        [ G   H ] [ I    J   K ]
                    ...
        [ B   A ] [ E    C   D ] --> nominal set of 2 and last set of 3
        [ H   G ] [ K    I   J ]     []'s show far/offset sets

475901aff1 MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 1)
The MD RAID10 'far' and 'offset' algorithms make copies of entire stripe
widths - copying them to a different location on the same devices after
shifting the stripe.  An example layout of each follows below:

	        "far" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	            ...
	 F    A    B    C    D    E  --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1
	 L    G    H    I    J    K
	            ...

		"offset" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 F    A    B    C    D    E  --> Copy of stripe0, but shifted by 1
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	 L    G    H    I    J    K
	            ...

Redundancy for these algorithms is gained by shifting the copied stripes
one device to the right.  This patch proposes that array be divided into
sets of adjacent devices and when the stripe copies are shifted, they wrap
on set boundaries rather than the array size boundary.  That is, for the
purposes of shifting, the copies are confined to their sets within the
array.  The sets are 'near_copies * far_copies' in size.

The above "far" algorithm example would change to:
	        "far" algorithm
	dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6
	==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====
	 A    B    C    D    E    F
	 G    H    I    J    K    L
	            ...
	 B    A    D    C    F    E  --> Copy of stripe0, shifted 1, 2-dev sets
	 H    G    J    I    L    K      Dev sets are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
	            ...

This has the affect of improving the redundancy of the array.  We can
always sustain at least one failure, but sometimes more than one can
be handled.  In the first examples, the pairs of devices that CANNOT fail
together are:
	(1,2) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5) (5,6) (1, 6) [40% of possible pairs]
In the example where the copies are confined to sets, the pairs of
devices that cannot fail together are:
	(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)                    [20% of possible pairs]

We cannot simply replace the old algorithms, so the 17th bit of the 'layout'
variable is used to indicate whether we use the old or new method of computing
the shift.  (This is similar to the way the 16th bit indicates whether the
"far" algorithm or the "offset" algorithm is being used.)

This patch only handles the cases where the number of total raid disks is
a multiple of 'far_copies'.  A follow-on patch addresses the condition where
this is not true.

eed8c02e68 wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
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.

874807a831 md/raid1{,0}: fix deadlock in bitmap_unplug.
If the raid1 or raid10 unplug function gets called
from a make_request function (which is very possible) when
there are bios on the current->bio_list list, then it will not
be able to successfully call bitmap_unplug() and it could
need to submit more bios and wait for them to complete.
But they won't complete while current->bio_list is non-empty.

So detect that case and handle the unplugging off to another thread
just like we already do when called from within the scheduler.

RAID1 version of bug was introduced in 3.6, so that part of fix is
suitable for 3.6.y.  RAID10 part won't apply.

884162df2a md/raid10: decrement correct pending counter when writing to replacement.
When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully
and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to
and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev,
even if this write was to the replacement.

This means that any writes to an array while a replacement
was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary
device to go negative, so it could never be removed.

This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

e7c0c3fa29 md/raid10: close race that lose writes lost when replacement completes.
When a replacement operation completes there is a small window
when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement
still looks like a replacement.  The faulty should be removed and
the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant.

So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that
the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it
doesn't.  If the primary device is faulty it just gives up.  This
can lead to corruption.

So make the code more robust: if either  the primary or the
replacement is present and working, write to them.  Only when
neither are present do we give up.

This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug.

The 'enough' function is written to work with 'near' arrays only
in that is implicitly assumes that the offset from one 'group' of

In reality it is the number of 'near' copies.

So change it to make this number explicit.

This bug makes it possible to run arrays without enough drives
present, which is dangerous.
It is appropriate for an -stable kernel, but will almost certainly
need to be modified for some of them.

e0ee778528 md/raid10: fix problem with on-stack allocation of r10bio structure.
A 'struct r10bio' has an array of per-copy information at the end.
This array is declared with size [0] and r10bio_pool_alloc allocates
enough extra space to store the per-copy information depending on the
number of copies needed.

So declaring a 'struct r10bio on the stack isn't going to work.  It
won't allocate enough space, and memory corruption will ensue.

So in the two places where this is done, declare a sufficiently large
structure and use that instead.

The two call-sites of this bug were introduced in 3.4 and 3.5
so this is suitable for both those kernels.  The patch will have to
be modified for 3.4 as it only has one bug.

0021b7bc04 md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

3ea7daa5d7 md/raid10: add reshape support
A 'near' or 'offset' lay RAID10 array can be reshaped to a different
'near' or 'offset' layout, a different chunk size, and a different
number of devices.
However the number of copies cannot change.

Unlike RAID5/6, we do not support having user-space backup data that
is being relocated during a 'critical section'.  Rather, the
data_offset of each device must change so that when writing any block
to a new location, it will not over-write any data that is still
'live'.

This means that RAID10 reshape is not supportable on v0.90 metadata.

The different between the old data_offset and the new_offset must be
at least the larger of the chunksize multiplied by offset copies of
each of the old and new layout. (for 'near' mode, offset_copies == 1).

A larger difference of around 64M seems useful for in-place reshapes
as more data can be moved between metadata updates.
Very large differences (e.g. 512M) seem to slow the process down due
to lots of long seeks (on oldish consumer graded devices at least).

Metadata needs to be updated whenever the place we are about to write
to is considered - by the current metadata - to still contain data in
the old layout.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.

So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.

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

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

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an

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

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

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

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

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

If we need to resync an array which has replacement devices,

If it was a full resync, we mark the replacements as fully recovered

7fcc7c8acf md/raid10: Fix bug when activating a hot-spare.
This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10.

When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the
spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first
working device.
This is likely to make the array non-functional.   It would normally
be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not
guaranteed.

This bug was introduced in commit
   2bb77736ae
which first appeared in 3.1.

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

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

34db0cd60f md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread.  This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.

However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput.  The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).

So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests.  By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable.  Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.

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

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

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

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

To detect if we need to submit another write request we test:

19d5f834d6 md/raid10: unify handling of write completion.
A write can complete at two different places:
1/ when the last member-device write completes, through
   raid10_end_write_request
2/ in make_request() when we remove the initial bias from ->remaining.

These two should do exactly the same thing and the comment says they
do, but they don't.

So factor the correct code out into a function and call it in both
places.  This makes the code much more similar to RAID1.

The difference is only significant if there is an error, and they
usually take a while, so it is unlikely that there will be an error
already when make_request is completing, so this is unlikely to cause
real problems.

This patch just covers the basic read path:
 1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only
    the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available
    there.
 2/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
    different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
    could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
    device, but can still be served by the array.
    This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
    per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'

On read error we currently just fail the request if another target
cannot handle the whole request.  Next patch refines that a bit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

cbea21703b md/raid10: move rdev->corrected_errors counting
Read errors are considered to corrected if write-back and re-read
cycle is finished without further problems. Thus moving the rdev->
corrected_errors counting after the re-reading looks more reasonable

700c721389 md/raid10: Improve decision on whether to fail a device with a read error.
Normally we would fail a device with a READ error.  However if doing
so causes the array to fail, it is better to leave the device
in place and just return the read error to the caller.

The current test for decide if the array will fail is overly
simplistic.
We have a function 'enough' which can tell if the array is failed or
not, so use it to guide the decision.

2bb77736ae md/raid10: Make use of new recovery_disabled handling
When we get a read error during recovery, RAID10 previously
arranged for the recovering device to appear to fail so that
the recovery stops and doesn't restart.  This is misleading and wrong.

Instead, make use of the new recovery_disabled handling and mark
the target device and having recovery disabled.

Add appropriate checks in add_disk and remove_disk so that devices
are removed and not re-added when recovery is disabled.

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

da9cf5050a md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exit
blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
so make sure that it does.
To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.

As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions.  We don't
need the locking, just the warning removal.

This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is

02214dc546 FIX: md: process hangs at wait_barrier after 0->10 takeover
Following symptoms were observed:
1. After raid0->raid10 takeover operation we have array with 2
missing disks.
When we add disk for rebuild, recovery process starts as expected
but it does not finish- it stops at about 90%, md126_resync process
hangs in "D" state.
2. Similar behavior is when we have mounted raid0 array and we
execute takeover to raid10. After this when we try to unmount array-
it causes process umount hangs in "D"

In scenarios above processes hang at the same function- wait_barrier
in raid10.c.
Process waits in macro "wait_event_lock_irq" until the
"!conf->barrier" condition will be true.
In scenarios above it never happens.

Reason was that at the end of level_store, after calling pers->run,
we call mddev_resume. This calls pers->quiesce(mddev, 0) with
RAID10, that calls lower_barrier.
However raise_barrier hadn't been called on that 'conf' yet,
so conf->barrier becomes negative, which is bad.

This patch introduces setting conf->barrier=1 after takeover
operation. It prevents to become barrier negative after call
lower_barrier().

589a594be1 md: protect against NULL reference when waiting to start a raid10.
When we fail to start a raid10 for some reason, we call
md_unregister_thread to kill the thread that was created.

Unfortunately md_thread() will then make one call into the handler
(raid10d) even though md_wakeup_thread has not been called.  This is
not safe and as md_unregister_thread is called after mddev->private
has been set to NULL, it will definitely cause a NULL dereference.

So fix this at both ends:
 - md_thread should only call the handler if THREAD_WAKEUP has been
   set.
 - raid10 should call md_unregister_thread before setting things
   to NULL just like all the other raid modules do.

This is applicable to 2.6.35 and later.

4e78064f42 md: Fix possible deadlock with multiple mempool allocations.
It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item
previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the
mempool is close to exhaustion.

So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple
devices in raid1 and raid10.
Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

e93f68a1fc md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.
Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).

This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.

Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.

So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

Both RAID0 and RAID10 have the same value stored in the private data
structure, so use that value instead.

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

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

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

The script does the followings.

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

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

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

The conversion was done in the following steps.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

627a2d3c29 md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better.
If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.

So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.

This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

1e50915fe0 raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors.
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.

a2826aa92e md: support barrier requests on all personalities.
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.

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

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

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

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

1805556912 md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.
If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).

This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.

This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.

This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

78200d45cd md/raid10: Don't call bitmap_cond_end_sync when we are doing recovery.
For raid1/4/5/6, resync (fixing inconsistencies between devices) is
very similar to recovery (rebuilding a failed device onto a spare).
The both walk through the device addresses in order.

For raid10 it can be quite different.  resync follows the 'array'
address, and makes sure all copies are the same.  Recover walks
through 'device' addresses and recreates each missing block.

The 'bitmap_cond_end_sync' function allows the write-intent-bitmap
(When present) to be updated to reflect a partially completed resync.
It makes assumptions which mean that it does not work correctly for
raid10 recovery at all.

In particularly, it can cause bitmap-directed recovery of a raid10 to
not recovery some of the blocks that need to be recovered.

So move the call to bitmap_cond_end_sync into the resync path, rather
than being in the common "resync or recovery" path.

09b4068a7f md/raid10: Don't skip more than 1 bitmap-chunk at a time during recovery.
When doing recovery on a raid10 with a write-intent bitmap, we only
need to recovery chunks that are flagged in the bitmap.

However if we choose to skip a chunk as it isn't flag, the code
currently skips the whole raid10-chunk, thus it might not recovery
some blocks that need recovering.

This patch fixes it.

In case that is confusing, it might help to understand that there
is a 'raid10 chunk size' which guides how data is distributed across
the devices, and a 'bitmap chunk size' which says how much data
corresponds to a single bit in the bitmap.

This bug only affects cases where the bitmap chunk size is smaller
than the raid10 chunk size.

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

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

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

Adding a spare to a raid10 doesn't cause recovery to start.
This is due to an silly type in

4bbf3771ca md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.
Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.

This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or
changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.

For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe.  For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.

So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just
the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6.

6feef531f5 block: mark bio_split_pool static
Since all bio_split calls refer the same single bio_split_pool, the bio_split
function can use bio_split_pool directly instead of the mempool_t parameter;

then the mempool_t parameter can be removed from bio_split param list, and
bio_split_pool is only referred in fs/bio.c file, can be marked static.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

0310fa216d Allow raid10 resync to happening in larger chunks.
The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of
in-flight resync IO to 2Meg.  This was copied from raid1 where
it seems quite adequate.  However for raid10, some layouts require
a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer
size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced.

There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight
IO at all.  Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the
amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any
concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off.

The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO
to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant
latency when normal IO starts up.

So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is
available) which seems to be a good amount.  Also reduce the amount
of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if
memory is tight.

Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.
