      md/bitmap: always wait for writes on unplug. · 4b5060dd
      NeilBrown 提交于
      If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then
      one might schedule all the writes, and the other might
      decide that it doesn't need to wait.  But really it does.
      
      It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary,
      and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary'
      anyway.  So just wait always.
      
      This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens
      at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was
      updated.  It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable
      just to be safe.  Appropriate for any -stable.

      md/bitmap: don't abuse i_writecount for bitmap files. · 035328c2
      NeilBrown 提交于
      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).

      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.
      
      v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
          error on module builds.  Reported by build test robot.  Fixed.

      md/bitmap: allow a bitmap with no backing storage. · ef99bf48
      NeilBrown 提交于
      An md bitmap comprises two parts
       - internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'.
       - external storage of whether there are any active writes on
         each chunk
      
      The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the
      second.
      
      Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite
      resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery
      of a recently-removed device.
      
      So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device.
      In that case we default to 128M chunks.
      
      A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap
      (possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not
      lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device.

      md/bitmap: disentangle two different 'pending' flags. · bf07bb7d
      NeilBrown 提交于
      There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the
      write intent bitmap.
      
      Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits)
      may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course.
      There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from
      PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever
      becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be
      cleared.
      
      Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one
      for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if
      any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by
      bitmap_daemon_work().  If this flag is clear we can skip the whole
      page.
      
      These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag.
      This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap
      file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the
      bitmap file.
      
      So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite
      bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending'
      concepts separately.
      
      This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out
      a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we
      write a page.
