      export entry points for starting and stopping md arrays.
      This will be used by a module to make md/raid5 work under
      dm.
      Also stop calling md_stop_writes from md_stop, as that won't
      work well with dm - it will want to call the two separately.

      md: be more careful setting MD_CHANGE_CLEAN · 676e42d8
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is set we might block in md_write_start.
      So we should only set it when fairly sure that something will clear
      it.
      
      There are two places where it is set so as to encourage a metadata
      update to record the progress of resync/recovery.  This should only
      be done if the internal metadata update mechanisms are in use, which
      can be tested by by inspecting '->persistent'.

      md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices. · 70fffd0b
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds
      from the end of the devices to the beginning.
      
      If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare)
      we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape
      progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records
      that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would
      only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset
      number would be measured from the wrong end of the device.
      
      Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be
      recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active
      to incorporate it in the array.
      
      This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario:
      
      A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined
      operation.
      The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a
      spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that
      spare as it progresses.  The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole
      time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from
      it, but must not because there is no valid data.
      
      If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return
      to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update
      the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to
      include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed
      reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

      md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices. · e93f68a1
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
      possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
      However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
      all devices (except 0).
      
      This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
      new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
      code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
      they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.
      
      Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
      still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
      confusion.
      
      So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
      the new raid_disk number.
      Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
      and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
      when the array is suspend.
      It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
      updated correctly.

      Restore partition detection of newly created md arrays. · f3b99be1
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Commit  b821eaa5 broke partition
      detection for md arrays.
      
      The logic was almost right.  However if revalidate_disk is called
      when the device is not yet open, bdev->bd_disk won't be set, so the
      flush_disk() Call will not set bd_invalidated.
      
      So when md_open is called we still need to ensure that
      ->bd_invalidated gets set.  This is easily done with a call to
      check_disk_size_change in the place where the offending commit removed
      check_disk_change.  At the important times, the size will have changed
      from 0 to non-zero, so check_disk_size_change will set bd_invalidated.

      sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support. · 3ff195b0
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
      to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
      is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
      potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
      
      What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
      sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
      contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
      /sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
      context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
      this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
      the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
      
      I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
      directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
      
      For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
      to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
      hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
      a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
      
      To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
      and managed by sysfs itself.
      
      Users of this interface:
      - define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
      - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
      - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
      
      - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
        so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
      - Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
      
      Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
      
      For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
      one line functions, and look to remain that.
      
      Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
      both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
      and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
      existing namespace pointer.
      
      The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
      or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
      created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
      tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
      directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
      being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
      which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
      
      Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
      symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
      in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
      to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
      no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
      to solve.

      md: manage redundancy group in sysfs when changing level. · a64c876f
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Some levels expect the 'redundancy group' to be present,
      others don't.
      So when we change level of an array we might need to
      add or remove this group.
      
      This requires fixing up the current practice of overloading ->private
      to indicate (when ->pers == NULL) that something needs to be removed.
      So create a new ->to_remove to fill that role.
      
      When changing levels, we may need to add or remove attributes.  When
      changing RAID5 -> RAID6, we both add and remove the same thing.  It is
      important to catch this and optimise it out as the removal is delayed
      until a lock is released, so trying to add immediately would cause
      problems.

      md: remove unneeded sysfs files more promptly · b6eb127d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When an array is stopped we need to remove some
      sysfs files which are dependent on the type of array.
      
      We need to delay that deletion as deleting them while holding
      reconfig_mutex can lead to deadlocks.
      
      We currently delay them until the array is completely destroyed.
      However it is possible to deactivate and then reactivate the array.
      It is also possible to need to remove sysfs files when changing level,
      which can potentially happen several times before an array is
      destroyed.
      
      So we need to delete these files more promptly: as soon as
      reconfig_mutex is dropped.
      
      We need to ensure this happens before do_md_run can restart the array,
      so we use open_mutex for some extra locking.  This is not deadlock
      prone.

      The reverse direction, setting mddev->ro to match a set readonly
      request, can be ignored because the blkdev level readonly flag precludes
      the need to have mddev->ro set correctly.  Nevermind the fact that

      md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down. · 1176568d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
      from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
      it could spin down and say spun down.  Device failure/removal
      etc are still recorded on spares.
      
      However commit 51d5668c broke this 50% of the time,
      depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
      The change log entry said:
      
         This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
          'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
      
      how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
      could take arbitrarily long.
      
      So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
      force a second metadata-update immediately.  There are already cases
      where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
      device fails during the metadata update).  We just piggy-back on that.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs. · ef286f6f
      NeilBrown 提交于
      ======
      This fix is related to
          http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
      but does not address that exact issue.
      ======
      
      sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
      (i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.
      
      As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
      removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.
      
      This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.
      
      Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
      This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
      delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.
      
      In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
      md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock.  This call is
      only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set.  However we can be sure
      that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
      was originally written.  This is because do_md_run is called in three
      different contexts:
        1/ from md_ioctl.  This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
           fails if ->gendisk is not set.
        2/ from writing a sysfs attribute.  This can only happen if the
           mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
           after ->gendisk has been set.
        3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
           checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
      So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
      ->gendisk can also go.
      
      
      In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
      purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
      component rdevs) to complete.  However there really isn't any need to
      wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
      ways.
      
      The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
      while the lock is held.  There is already some infrastructure in place
      to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
      schedule_work).  So extend that infrastructure to remove the
      raid5_attrs_group.
      
      This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
      "s_active" lock.  The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
      context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.
