      md: enable suspend/resume of md devices. · 409c57f3
      NeilBrown 提交于
      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).

      md: make sure new_level, new_chunksize, new_layout always have sensible values. · 34817e8c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When an md array is undergoing a change, we have new_* fields that
      show the new values.
      When no change is happening, it is least confusing if these have
      the same value as the normal fields.
      This is true in most cases, but not when the values are set via sysfs.
      
      So fix this up.

      md: Make mddev->size sector-based. · 58c0fed4
      Andre Noll 提交于
      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().

      md: be more consistent about setting WriteMostly flag when adding a drive to an array · 575a80fa
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When a drive is added to an array using ADD_NEW_DISK, there are two
      places we can get certain flags from:  the metadata on the disk or the
      flags passed through the IOCTL.
      
      For the WriteMostly flag (aka MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY) we take the value
      from either of those sources depending on if it is set (i.e. we
      effectively 'or' the two sources together).
      
      This makes it awkward to clear, and is at best inconsistent.
      
      As documented code (in mdadm) requires that setting
      MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY in the ioctl will be effective, we resolve the
      inconsistency by always using the value for this flag from the ioctl,
      and ignoring the value on disk.

      md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after a crash · 97e4f42d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
      partially completed drive recovery.
      However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
      It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
      when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
      unclean shutdown.
      
      One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
      where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
      have completed.  And we need to know what has completed to record
      how much is recovered.  So occasionally pause the recovery until all
      submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
      we are up to.
      
      When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
      the bitmap up-to-date.  So enhance that code to record the recovery
      offset and schedule a superblock update.
      And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
      do a checkpoint.
      '16' is a fairly arbitrary number.  But we don't really have any good
      way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
      number for now.

      md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again). · eea1bf38
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.
      
      1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
         rest are 'long'.
         So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
         curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
         long time to return to positive.
      
         So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
         for what we need.
      
      2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
         the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
         suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
         So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

      md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices. · de01dfad
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
      different maximum number of devices.
      We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
      we aren't quite doing that properly.
      
      We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
      older interface which is not used by current userspace.
      
      We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
      and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.
      
      So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
      called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
      test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.
      
      This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so
      the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.

      md: Allow md devices to be created by name. · efeb53c0
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
      Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.
      
      Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
      awkward.
      
      So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.
      
      Writing a name such as "md_home" to
          /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
      will cause an array with that name to be created.  It will appear in
      /sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
      It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.
      
      md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
      close when the device is inactive.
      For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
      is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
      writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.
      
      The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
      other devices.

      md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed. · d3374825
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
      is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
      reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
      gendisk, this a circular reference.
      
      If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
      that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
      is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
      this.
      
      So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
      gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
      complication.
      Between the call
         __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
      and the call
         __blkdev_get->md_open
      
      there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
      unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
      destroyed prematurely.
      
      Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
      moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
      which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
      ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
      fail.
      
      So:
       1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
           indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
           though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
           This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
           is no longer needed.
           This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
           md_open.
      
       2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
           the gendisk that we did open.
           If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
           __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
           In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
           the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
           we loop at most once.
      
      Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
      appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
      to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
      configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
      and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
      and then close and so on.
      So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
      at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
      all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
      when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
      cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
      removed).
      
      As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
        echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
      we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
      kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
      complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

      md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly · 159ec1fc
      Cheng Renquan 提交于
      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.

      md: revert the recent addition of a call to the BLKRRPART ioctl. · cb3ac42b
      NeilBrown 提交于
      It turns out that it is only safe to call blkdev_ioctl when the device
      is actually open (as ->bd_disk is set to NULL on last close).  And it
      is quite possible for do_md_stop to be called when the device is not
      open.  So discard the call to blkdev_ioctl(BLKRRPART) which was
      added in
         commit 934d9c23
      
      It is just as easy to call this ioctl from userspace when needed (on
      mdadm -S) so leave it out of the kernel

      md: destroy partitions and notify udev when md array is stopped. · 934d9c23
      NeilBrown 提交于
      md arrays are not currently destroyed when they are stopped - they
      remain in /sys/block.  Last time I tried this I tripped over locking
      too much.
      
      A consequence of this is that udev doesn't remove anything from /dev.
      This is rather ugly.
      
      As an interim measure until proper device removal can be achieved,
      make sure all partitions are removed using the BLKRRPART ioctl, and
      send a KOBJ_CHANGE when an md array is stopped.

      [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion · d4430d62
      Al Viro 提交于
      To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
      to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
      	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
      prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
      	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
      are converted in this series.
      	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
      
      Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
      end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
      we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
      debugging if anything goes wrong.
      
      New methods:
      	open(bdev, mode)
      	release(disk, mode)
      	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
      	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
      	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

      The new extended partition support provides a much nicer was
      to have partitions on md devices that the 'mdp' alternate major.
      We cannot really get rid of 'mdp' at this time, but we can
      enable extended partitions as that will probably make life
      easier for sysadmins.

      md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/dev-xxx/state · 3c0ee63a
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The 'state' file for a device reports, for example, when the device
      has failed.  Changes should be reported to userspace ASAP without
      the possibility of blocking on low-memory.  sysfs_notify does
      have that possibility (as it takes a mutex which can be held
      across a kmalloc) so use sysfs_notify_dirent instead.

      Now that we have sysfs_notify_dirent, use it to notify changes

      As sysfs_notify_dirent can be called in atomic context, we can
      remove the delayed notify and the MD_NOTIFY_ARRAY_STATE flag.
