      md: make merge_bvec_fn more robust in face of personality changes. · 64590f45
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
      it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
      change could go wrong.
      
      So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
      rcu_read_lock().
      If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
      If not, we know it is safe to call the function.

      md: make ->congested robust against personality changes. · 5c675f83
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
      bdi function.  If called at an awkward time while an array is
      being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
      is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
      
      So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
      structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
      'mddev_congested'.
      
      When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
      so no IO is processed.
      If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
      array is congested, which is a safe guess.
      As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
      avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
      region.
      This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
      can be run under rcu_lock.  Fortunately this is the case.

      md: rename mddev->write_lock to mddev->lock · 85572d7c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
      superblocks, and it will soon be extended further.  So the
      name is inappropriate.
      
      Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
      never taking from interrupt or bh context.
      
      So:
        -rename write_lock to lock
        -document what it protects
        -remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
           is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq).  This can be

      md/bitmap: don't abuse i_writecount for bitmap files. · 035328c2

      md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
      process from writing to out bitmap file.  But that is really an abuse
      and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.
      
      So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.
      
      Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
      used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
      ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
      (is regular, is open for write.  Support for ->bmap is already checked
      elsewhere).

      md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap. · 8313b8e5
      NeilBrown 提交于
      If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
      is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
      will bring it fully up-to-date.
      
      If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
      But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
      present very recently, then there could be no need for any
      recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
      array without any recovery.
      
      However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
      it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
      be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update.  We don't
      currently detect this case properly and will include that old
      device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
      needs a recovery.
      
      This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
      needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag.  If that is set,
      then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

      kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly · 324a56e1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
      full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
      take the chance to name things properly.
      
      This patch performs the following renames.
      
      * s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
      * s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
      * s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
      * s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
      * s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
      * s/parent_sd/parent/
      * s/target_sd/target/
      * s/dir_sd/parent/
      * s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
      * misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above
      
      Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
      modifying them.  All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial.  While we
      can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
      around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
      proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.
      
      This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
      functional difference.

      sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent() · 388975cc
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
      argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
      @name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
      we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
      sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
      especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
      compilation warning.
      
      This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
      positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
      around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
      likely.
      
      There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
      updated by following patches.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

      md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop. · 260fa034
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so
      that all buffers get flushed.
      So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will
      be nothing to flush.
      
      However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just
      moments before some other process which was writing closes their file
      descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might
      not get flushed.
      
      So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev().  However at this point it is
      holding ->reconfig_mutex.  So if the array is currently 'clean' then
      the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array
      can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread
      can get ->reconfig_mutex.  So we deadlock.
      
      We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take
      ->reconfig_mutex.
      However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it
      after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array.
      This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward.
      
      So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED.  Set it before calling
      sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the
      STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further
      opens.
      
      It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to
      it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl.  Just don't do that.

      Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging
      MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs.  This
      patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure
      it is about to operate on something valid.  This patch also checks for
      'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'.
      Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in
      'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation.

      wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface · eed8c02e
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
      moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
      includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
      the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
      of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.
      
      The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
      structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
      before putting it to sleep.
      
      All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
      is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
      macro with the lock held.
      
      Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
      using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
      lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

      This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I
      cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and
      testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not
      show any performance difference by removing it.
      
      So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to
      be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active.
      
      This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the
      updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that
      the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large
      numbers of updates together.

      will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a

      md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices. · c6563a8c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
      changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
      (if there is enough room).
      
      So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
      through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.
      
      (As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
       we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
       A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
       zero to avoid a repeat of this)
      
      The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
      This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
      This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
      set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.
      
      This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
      it is never used and never will be.  At the same time we add a new
      arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
      soon.
      
      When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
      and rdev->sectors.  So provide an exported function to do that.

      md: allow a reshape operation to be reversed. · 2c810cdd
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
      of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
      reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.
      
      To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
      you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
      reversed and it will undo.
      
      However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
      it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
      wait until it completes.
      
      So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
      'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.
      
      This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
      change in a reshape.  Then the explicit statement of what direction is
      being used will be more useful.
      
      This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
      reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.

      Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
      is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
      This is not ideal.
      
      So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
      as well.
      
      This introduces a small problem.  There is no locking around calls
      the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request.  So a
      device added between these could end up getting a request which
      violates its merge_bvec_fn.
      
      Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched().  This will work
      providing no preemption happens.  If there is preemption, we just
      have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

      md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an

      name, which is useful documentation.
      
      Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
      many use an explicity list_for_each entry.
      
      So:
       - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
       - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
         list_for_each_entry,

      NeilBrown 提交于
      hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
      device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.
      
      With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
      the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
      an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
      degraded during the transition.  It can also be use when the original
      device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.
      
      This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.
      
      This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
      device.  If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.
      
      It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
      sysfs.
         "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
         "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
         device.
      
      The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
      device, not the replacement.  We currently don't make links for the
      replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need.

      md: change hot_remove_disk to take an rdev rather than a number. · b8321b68
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Soon an array will be able to have multiple devices with the
      same raid_disk number (an original and a replacement).  So removing
      a device based on the number won't work.  So pass the actual device
      handle instead.

      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.

      NeilBrown 提交于
      If a device has ever seen a write error, we will want to handle
      known-bad-blocks differently.
      So create an appropriate state flag and export it via sysfs.

      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: load/store badblock list from v1.x metadata · 2699b672
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Space must have been allocated when array was created.
      A feature flag is set when the badblock list is non-empty, to
      ensure old kernels don't load and trust the whole device.
      
      We only update the on-disk badblocklist when it has changed.
      If the badblocklist (or other metadata) is stored on a bad block, we
      don't cope very well.
      
      If metadata has no room for bad block, flag bad-blocks as disabled,
      and do the same for 0.90 metadata.
