      md/raid1: store behind-write pages in bi_vecs. · 2ca68f5e
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When performing write-behind we allocate pages to store the data
      during write.
      Previously we just keep a list of pages.  Now we keep a list of
      bi_vec which includes offset and size.
      This means that the r1bio has complete information to create a new
      bio which will be needed for retrying after write errors.

      md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged. · de393cde
      NeilBrown 提交于
      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.

      md/raid1: avoid reading known bad blocks during resync · 06f60385
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When performing resync/etc, keep the size of the request
      small enough that it doesn't overlap any known bad blocks.
      Devices with badblocks at the start of the request are completely
      excluded.
      If there is nowhere to read from due to bad blocks, record
      a bad block on each target device.
      
      Now that we never read from known-bad-blocks we can allow devices with
      known-bad-blocks into a RAID1.

      md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks. · d2eb35ac
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
      blocks.
      There are several main parts to this:
        1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
           the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
           there.
        2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
        3/ 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'
        4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
           and queue another request for the rest.
      
      This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
      recovery, or check.
      
      'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
      export it.

      md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active. · b098636c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      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.

      The current handling and freeing of these pages is a bit fragile.
      We only keep the list of allocated pages in each bio, so we need to
      still have a valid bio when freeing the pages, which is a bit clumsy.

      be found and freed when we are finished with the r1_bio.

      md/raid1: try fix_sync_read_error before process_checks. · 7ca78d57
      NeilBrown 提交于
      If we get a read error during resync/recovery we current repeat with
      single-page reads to find out just where the error is, and possibly
      read each page from a different device.
      
      With check/repair we don't currently do that, we just fail.
      However it is possible that while all devices fail on the large 64K
      read, we might be able to satisfy each 4K from one device or another.
      
      So call fix_sync_read_error before process_checks to maximise the
      chance of finding good data and writing it out to the devices with
      read errors.
      
      For this to work, we need to set the 'uptodate' flags properly after
      fix_sync_read_error has succeeded.

      NeilBrown 提交于
      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
      which is 2.6.37 and later.

      md/raid1: really fix recovery looping when single good device fails. · 8f9e0ee3

      Commit 4044ba58 supposedly fixed a

      However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
      from the array.  But that does not happen in this case.  So add a test
      so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.
      
      This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when

      bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the

      Since commit ef425673 this number can be substantially larger,
      2^27 is a common value.
      
      Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts
      it 9 places to the left it becomes 0.  This results in a zero-length
      read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about.
      
      This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with
      a trivially-correct patch.

      md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support · e9c7469b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
