2009-03-31md: 'array_size' sysfs attributeDan Williams1-1/+1
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following semantics: 1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0) a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail if size is greater than the default size b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set array size should be blocked 2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it 3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly 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 userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

2009-03-31md: enable suspend/resume of md devices.NeilBrown1-0/+3
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).

2009-03-31md: Make mddev->size sector-based.Andre Noll1-3/+3
This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors" and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of 1K-blocks in it. All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two. In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

2009-02-25md: avoid races when stopping resync.NeilBrown1-3/+4
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 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-02-25md/raid10: Don't call bitmap_cond_end_sync when we are doing recovery.NeilBrown1-2/+2
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. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-02-25md/raid10: Don't skip more than 1 bitmap-chunk at a time during recovery.NeilBrown1-4/+4
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. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-01-09md: use list_for_each_entry macro directlyCheng Renquan1-2/+1
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.

2008-10-13md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.NeilBrown1-2/+3
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

2008-10-09block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo1-2/+5
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.

2008-08-05Allow raid10 resync to happening in larger chunks.NeilBrown1-4/+5
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.

The following bio fields are used: bio->bi_sector bio->bi_bdev bio->bi_size bio->bi_rw using bio_data_dir() This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way back up.

2008-06-28Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap)Neil Brown1-0/+2
If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags. This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk methods. Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are). The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap is being used. In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap and recovery all blocks. This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10. So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct. If you might have an array like that, issueing echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action will make sure recovery completes properly.

2008-05-24md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.NeilBrown1-2/+12
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

2008-05-14Remove blkdev warning triggered by using mdNeil Brown1-1/+3
As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

2008-03-04md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlockK.Tanaka1-0/+2
This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the 2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework. Abstract: When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the resync threads of md RAID10 could stall. This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will fail because of resource busy. The deadlock mechanism: The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in end_sync_write(). If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining" should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter mismatch. For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case: Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_] [>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled. An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock. md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F) 3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__] [=>...................] recovery = 5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec 2739 ?

2008-03-04md: fix possible raid1/raid10 deadlock on read error during resyncNeilBrown1-2/+9
Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing. If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem.

2008-03-04md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layoutsKeld Simonsen1-3/+9
This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the disk with the lowest block address. Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting of the first band of stripes. Some advantages: The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the inner blocks. Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the first part of the disks. Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk. If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

2008-03-04md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read errorNeilBrown1-22/+40
When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while attempting to over-write with correct data. This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze). However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to finish that themselves need attention from raid1d. So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

2008-02-06md: allow a maximum extent to be set for resyncingNeilBrown1-0/+3
This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical sections during a tricky reshape. Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.

2008-02-06md: Update md bitmap during resync.NeilBrown1-0/+2
Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated when the resync completes. This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome. However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete, the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it. Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed from bi_size. So don't do that either. While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-17md: change bitmap_unplug and others to void functionsNeilBrown1-2/+1
bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed by bitmap_file_kick. write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more conveniently be checked. When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive calls into bitmap_file_kick. bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked. So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.
