3407ef5262 dm: add flakey target
This target is the same as the linear target except that it returns I/O
errors periodically.  It's been found useful in simulating failing
devices for testing purposes.

I needed a dm target to do some failure testing on btrfs's raid code, and
Mike pointed me at this.

9d09e663d5 dm: raid456 basic support
This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be
the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1).  It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456
drivers.

As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE).  The CTR table looks like the following:

1: <s> <l> raid \
2:	<raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
3:	<#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN>

Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields.  The target type in
this case is "raid".

Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments.  Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc.  (again, raid1 is
planned for the future.)  The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types.  The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
 <chunk_size>		Chunk size in sectors.
 [[no]sync]		Force/Prevent RAID initialization
 [rebuild <idx>]	Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
 [daemon_sleep <ms>]	Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
 [min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>]	Throttle RAID initialization
 [max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>]	Throttle RAID initialization
 [max_write_behind <value>]		See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
 [stripe_cache <sectors>]		Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs

Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs.  If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position.  If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.

Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
	raid4 1 2048 \
	5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81

# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
#	min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
        raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
        5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81

Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).

Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array.  The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2:	<raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>

Line 1 is standard DM output.  Line 2 is best shown by example:
	0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

07a3b417dc md/raid456: distribute raid processing over multiple cores
Now that the resources to handle stripe_head operations are allocated
percpu it is possible for raid5d to distribute stripe handling over
multiple cores.  This conversion also adds a call to cond_resched() in
the non-multicore case to prevent one core from getting monopolized for
raid operations.

ac6b53b6e6 md/raid6: asynchronous raid6 operations
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]

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)
3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks)

f5db4af466 dm raid1: add userspace log
This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.

The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h.  Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.

The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage.   A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption.  Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.

(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done.  Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

f392ba889b dm mpath: add service time load balancer
This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.

The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time.  If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

a364092a41 raid: make RAID autodetect default a KConfig option
RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation
of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer
(I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't
have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters).

This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way
the user can always override via the kernel command line.

cfae5c9bb6 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipath
This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.

This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
handler are ignored.

One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)

Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.

9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.

Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton
* don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk
* select the API when MD is enabled
* BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1
* implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and
  interrupts, Neil Brown
* remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities

* simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path
* introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to

* reorganize the code to mimic crypto
* include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h
* make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk
* move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and
  the two may share algorithms in the future
* move large inline functions into c files
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* gpl v2 only correction

685784aaf3 xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx
The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
back to an optimized software routine otherwise.  Xor support is
implemented using the raid5 xor routines.  For organizational purposes this
routine is moved to a common area.

The following fixes are also made:
* rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
* ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk

dd172d72ad dm mpath: rdac
This patch supports LSI/Engenio devices in RDAC mode. Like dm-emc
it requires userspace support. In your multipath.conf file you must have:

path_checker            rdac
hardware_handler        "1 rdac"
prio_callout		"/sbin/mpath_prio_tpc /dev/%n"

And you also then must have a updated multipath tools release which
has rdac support.

9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

16a53ecc35 [PATCH] md: merge raid5 and raid6 code
There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c.  This patches
merges both into one module called raid456.  This saves a lot of code, and
paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations.

There is still duplication, e.g.  between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6.
This will probably be cleaned up later.

6f91fe88e4 [PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned
reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned.  So swap with
new_level.

NOTE: this is a user-visible change.  However:
  - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
  - This code is still marked 'experimental'
  - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
  - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
    tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
    first second of the reshape process.

So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe.  Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

raid5_reshape is only enabled in CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE is set, to discourage

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
