      async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' region · 04ce9ab3
      Dan Williams 提交于
      async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions.  In
      most cases the code can simply reuse the struct page * array because the
      size of the native pointer matches the size of a dma/page address.  In
      order to support archs where sizeof(dma_addr_t) is larger than
      sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a
      memory region passed in by the caller.
      
      Since the code is now prepared to handle the case where it cannot
      perform address conversions on the stack, we no longer need the
      !HIGHMEM64G dependency in drivers/dma/Kconfig.

      async_tx: structify submission arguments, add scribble · a08abd8c
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'.  This
      will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page
      address conversions.  As this adds yet another parameter, take this
      opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags,
      dependency, callback, and callback argument) into an object that is
      passed by reference.
      
      Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about
      the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

      async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag · 88ba2aa5
      Dan Williams 提交于
      In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
      gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another.  While the
      flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending.  Setting
      the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
      collection.  The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
      chain after adding this dependency".  Since each operation can only have
      one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
      submission time.  This removes an unnecessary management burden from
      clients of the api.

      md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshape · c8f517c4
      NeilBrown 提交于
      We currently update the metadata :
       1/ every 3Megabytes
       2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in
          the metadata as still containing old-layout data.
      
      Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the
      face of a crash/restart.  So it should really be time based rather
      than size based.  So change it to "every 10 seconds".
      
      Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array
      'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every
      stripe.
      For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if
      some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
      stripes before allowing them to be reshaped.  In that case, the
      constant metadata update is pointless.
      So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
      end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
      writing 'new-layout' data.

      md/raid5: be more careful about write ordering when reshaping. · ab69ae12
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read
      the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data
      at that offset.
      
      In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before
      we even consider writing.  But when restriping an array without
      changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have
      some data to available write before the read has happened at the same
      location.  This would require some stripes to be in cache already.
      
      To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing,
      that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of
      being read.  And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such
      before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed.

      md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize. · 784052ec
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
      remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
      underway.
      
      This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
      mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
      The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
      The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.
      
      Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
      at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
      started by setting reshape_position.  In contrast, the new_chunk value
      is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
      reshape starts.

      md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape. · 86b42c71
      NeilBrown 提交于
      During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are
      'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are
      'after'.  They are currently differentiated by having different
      ->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing
      the number of disks.
      
      However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number
      of disks (chunk parity or chunk size).  So make the difference more
      explicit with a 'generation' number.

      md: allow number of drives in raid5 to be reduced · ec32a2bd
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of
      the array to the beginning.
      md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning
      to the end.  So largely ignore them use the internal state variable
      "reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next.
      
      Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6,
      3 otherwise).
      
      We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before
      the array is reshaped to a smaller size.  This is because simply
      reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape
      is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at
      the ends of the devices.
      Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write
      an appropriately small size to md/array_size.
      
      When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer
      needed and fix up ->degraded.

      md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards. · fef9c61f
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape
      process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the
      beginning.  So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo
      differently.
      
      This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the
      implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and
      every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right
      way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

      md: add explicit method to signal the end of a reshape. · cea9c228
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping)
      notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being
      given a large value, and handles any cleanup them.
      
      This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an
      explicit finish_reshape method as well.
      
      The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be
      done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t
      structure.
      
      The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock
      so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device.
      
      This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which
      would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array
      while a reshape was happening.
