to_read and to_write are part of the result of analysing a stripe before handling it. Their use is to avoid some loops and tests if the values are known to be zero. Thus it is not a problem if they are a little bit larger than they should be. So decrementing them in handle_failed_stripe serves little value, and due to races it could cause some loops to be skipped incorrectly. So remove those decrements.

We want to avoid zero discarded dev page, because it's useless for discard. But if we don't zero it, another read/write hit such page in the cache and will get inconsistent data. To avoid zero the page, we don't set R5_UPTODATE flag after construction is done. In this way, discard write request is still issued and finished, but read will not hit the page. If the stripe gets accessed soon, we need reread the stripe, but since the chance is low, the reread isn't a big deal.

Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6 should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size. Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level drives. The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out. For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario: discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard. If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data consistency is important. If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such payload. Next patch will avoid it.

make_request() does stripe release for every stripe and the stripe usually has count 1, which makes previous release_stripe() optimization not work. In my test, this release_stripe() becomes the heaviest pleace to take conf->device_lock after previous patches applied. Below patch makes stripe release batch. All the stripes will be released in unplug. The STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST bit is to protect concurrent access stripe lru.

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. Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a measurable effect.

'sync' writes set both REQ_SYNC and REQ_NOIDLE. O_DIRECT writes set REQ_SYNC but not REQ_NOIDLE. We currently assume that a REQ_SYNC request will not be followed by more requests and so set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE to expedite the request. This is appropriate for sync requests, but not for O_DIRECT requests. So make the setting of STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE conditional on REQ_NOIDLE rather than REQ_SYNC. This is consistent with the documented meaning of REQ_NOIDLE: __REQ_NOIDLE, /* don't anticipate more IO after this one */ Signed-off-by: NJianpeng Ma <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce lock contention of conf->device_lock. stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock. Accessing bio list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like ops_run_biofill()) not race. If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will protect them. If the bio are shared, there are two protections: 1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count 2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio not belonging to the stripe Let's have an example: | stripe1 | stripe2 | stripe3 | ...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4..... stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2 because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and stripe3 will end_bio bio4. before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

Neil pointed out the bitmap write optimization in handle_stripe_clean_event() is unnecessary, because the chance one stripe gets written twice in the mean time is rare. We can always do a bitmap_startwrite when a write request is added to a stripe and bitmap_endwrite after write request is done. Delete the optimization. With it, we can delete some cases of device_lock. Signed-off-by: NShaohua Li <shli@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any call to mempool_alloc. So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make sense. So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread. As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes lots of sense. If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we wake thread immediately. RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the thread on failure. However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request and waking the thread. Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking up. Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not active plugs, just like raid1. This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to -stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline first to be sure it is completely safe. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There isn't locking setting STRIPE_DELAYED and STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE bits, but the two bits have relationship. A delayed stripe can be moved to hold list only when preread active stripe count is below IO_THRESHOLD. If a stripe has both the bits set, such stripe will be in delayed list and preread count not 0, which will make such stripe never leave delayed list.

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. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry, and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the 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, - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

When an array is failed (some data inaccessible) then there is no point attempting to add a spare as it could not possibly be recovered. However that may be value in re-adding a recently removed device. e.g. if there is a write-intent-bitmap and it is clear, then access to the data could be restored by this action. So don't reject a re-add to a failed array for RAID10 and RAID5 (the only arrays types that check for a failed array). Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
