      md/bitmap: merge bitmap_file_unmap and bitmap_file_put. · fae7d326
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There functions really do one thing together: release the
      'bitmap_storage'.  So make them just one function.
      
      Since we removed the locking (previous patch), we don't need to zero
      any fields before freeing them, so it all becomes a bit simpler.

      md/bitmap: remove async freeing of bitmap file. · 62f82faa
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There is no real value in freeing things the moment there is an error.
      It is just as good to free the bitmap file and pages when the bitmap
      is explicitly removed (and replaced?) or at shutdown.
      
      With this gone, the bitmap will only disappear when the array is
      quiescent, so we can remove some locking.
      
      As the 'filemap' doesn't disappear now, include extra checks before
      trying to write any of it out.
      Also remove the check for "has it disappeared" in
      bitmap_daemon_write().

      md/bitmap: remove single-bit manipulation on sb->state · 84e92345
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Just do single-bit manipulations on bitmap->flags and copy whole
      value between that and sb->state.
      
      This will allow next patch which changes how bit manipulations are
      performed on bitmap->flags.
      
      This does result in BITMAP_STALE not being set in sb by
      bitmap_read_sb, however as the setting is determined by other
      information in the 'sb' we do not lose information this way.
      Normally, bitmap_load will be called shortly which will clear
      BITMAP_STALE anyway.

      md/bitmap: allow a bitmap with no backing storage. · ef99bf48
      NeilBrown 提交于
      An md bitmap comprises two parts
       - internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'.
       - external storage of whether there are any active writes on
         each chunk
      
      The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the
      second.
      
      Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite
      resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery
      of a recently-removed device.
      
      So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device.
      In that case we default to 128M chunks.
      
      A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap
      (possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not
      lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device.
      
      We don't actually activate these bitmaps yet - that will come
      in a later patch.

      If we are to allow bitmaps to be resized when the array is resized,

      md/bitmap: disentangle two different 'pending' flags. · bf07bb7d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the
      write intent bitmap.
      
      Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits)
      may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course.
      There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from
      PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever
      becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be
      cleared.
      
      Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one
      for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if
      any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by
      bitmap_daemon_work().  If this flag is clear we can skip the whole
      page.
      
      These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag.
      This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap
      file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the
      bitmap file.
      
      So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite
      bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending'
      concepts separately.
      
      This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out
      a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we
      write a page.

      md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap. · 915c420d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
      a 14bit counter (and some flags).
      This counts
         number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.
      
      The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
      bit.  So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
      If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
      If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.
      
      So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
      request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
      with.
      
      In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
      in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
      more.

      md/bitmap: It is OK to clear bits during recovery. · 961902c0
      NeilBrown 提交于
      commit d0a4bb49 introduced a
      regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.
      
      When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
      in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
      set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
      write completes.
      
      For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
      problem as the recovery will clear the bits.  However bits set in
      already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
      This doesn't risk data integrity.  The only negatives are:
       - next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
         be done.
       - the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
      
      While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
      'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
      bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
      the recovering device.
      
      So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
      and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

      md/lock: ensure updates to page_attrs are properly locked. · 7c8f4247
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as
      it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not
      needed.
      
      However there are two places where we might set or clear page
      attributes without holding the spinlock.
      So add the spinlock in those cases.
      
      This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't
      getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost
      when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared.  This is an
      inconvenience, not a threat to data safety.

      md/bitmap: improve handling of 'allclean'. · 2585f3ef
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The 'allclean' flag is used to cache the fact that there is nothing to
      do, so we can avoid waking up and scanning the bitmap regularly.
      
      The two sorts of pages that might need the attention of the bitmap
      daemon are BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE pages.
      
      So make sure allclean reflects exactly when there are none of those.
      So:
        set it before scanning all pages with either bit set.
        clear it whenever these bits are set
        clear it when we desire not to clear one of these bits.
        don't clear it any other time.

      md/bitmap: rename and tidy up BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN · 5a537df4
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The flag 'BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN' has a confusing name as it doesn't mean
      that the page is clean, but rather that there are counters in the page
      which allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared - i.e. maybe cleaning can
      happen.
      
      So change it to BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and fix some irregularities:
       - Don't set it in bitmap_init_from_disk as bitmap_set_memory_bits
         sets it when needed
       - in bitmap_daemon_work, if we find a counter that is '1', but
         need_sync is set, then set BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING again (it was
         recently cleared) to ensure we don't forget about this bit.
