      md: protect against NULL reference when waiting to start a raid10. · 589a594b
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When we fail to start a raid10 for some reason, we call
      md_unregister_thread to kill the thread that was created.
      
      Unfortunately md_thread() will then make one call into the handler
      (raid10d) even though md_wakeup_thread has not been called.  This is
      not safe and as md_unregister_thread is called after mddev->private
      has been set to NULL, it will definitely cause a NULL dereference.
      
      So fix this at both ends:
       - md_thread should only call the handler if THREAD_WAKEUP has been
         set.
       - raid10 should call md_unregister_thread before setting things
         to NULL just like all the other raid modules do.
      
      This is applicable to 2.6.35 and later.

      md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support · e9c7469b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
      deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
      changes are notable.
      
      * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
        processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
        queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.
      
      * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
        logic.  Retry logic is removed.
      
      * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
        be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
        deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
        is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.
      
      For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
      5 and 10 need the following conversions.
      
      * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
        request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.
      
      * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
        biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
        of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
        writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
        is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.
      
      * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.
      
      linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

      block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request · 7b6d91da
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
      This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
      down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
      missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
      renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
      
      Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
      blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

      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: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better. · 627a2d3c
      NeilBrown 提交于
      If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
      we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
      max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
      with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.
      
      So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
      same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
      segment of IO requested at a time.
      
      This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
      known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

      raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors. · 1e50915f
      Robert Becker 提交于
      We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
      arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
      The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
      will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
      Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
      recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
      extended periods of time.
      
      With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
      corrected read attempts.  Each rdev will maintain a count of
      read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
      used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
      we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
      divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
      last read error. If at that point our read error count
      exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.
      
      In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
      the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
      attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
      fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.
      
      For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
      IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

      md: support barrier requests on all personalities. · a2826aa9
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1.  This is because
      other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
      a different approach.
      Here is that approach.
      
      When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
      device.  When that completes - and if the original request was not
      empty -  we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
      cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.
      
      The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
      request will block until the barrier completes.
      
      The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
      allowed to fail.  If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
      raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
      could fail.  That would be way too hard to deal with.
      So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
      sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
      second run of barriers.
      
      RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
      to the underlying devices yet.  So we flush the stripe cache before
      proceeding with the barrier.
      
      Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
      immediately after the original request is submitted.  Thus when
      a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
      it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
      per-device request(s) have been queued.
      
      That will be done in later patches.

      md: Push down data integrity code to personalities. · ac5e7113
      Andre Noll 提交于
      This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
      md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
      personality-independent.
      
      md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
      methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
      function iterates over the component devices of the array and
      determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
      profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
      for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().
      
      The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
      ->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
      to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
      or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
      integrity for the mddev is disabled.
      
      For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
      the ->run method is necessary.
