      md/raid5: fix bug in reshape code when chunk_size decreases. · 0e6e0271
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate
      "reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old
      and new chunk size.
      However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize'
      rather than 'reshape_sectors'.
      This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze.

      md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshape · a8c906ca
      NeilBrown 提交于
      md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
      IO completed and no new IO starts.  This is used to achieve a
      stable state before making internal changes.
      
      Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
      IO, and reshape IO.
      However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
      Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
      If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
      such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
      until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
      first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
      used until the last is allocated.
      
      It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
      requested.  Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
      ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
      
      So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
      being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
      
      This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
      grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported.  So this patch is
      not needed in earlier kernels.

      md: update sync_completed and reshape_position even more often. · c03f6a19
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
      "oversee" a resync/reshape process.  For example when doing an
      in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
      section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
      safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).
      
      The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
      advancing beyond a particular point.
      So user-space can:
        suspend IO to the first section and back it up
        set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
        wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
        resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.
      
      However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
      lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.
      
      It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
      userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
      'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.
      
      One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
      guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
      (it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
      on that).  This defeats some of the double buffering.
      
      With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
      the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
      userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.
      
      To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
      position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
      and the value of sync_max.  This will usually be a good time for user
      space to update sync_max.
      
      If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
      (together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
      exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
      (one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
      and stops.  So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
      insignificant period of time.

      md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed. · acb180b0
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
      reshape) has been completed.
      However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
      it is not certain to be accurate.
      
      We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
      accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).
      
      So:
       - make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
         particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
       - report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
       - allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.
      
      This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
      handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

      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.

      Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to

      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: 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.

      Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping)

      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
