      md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure. · dfc70645
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
      the recovery and restart it.
      
      For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
      beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
      able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
      sense.
      
      We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
      and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
      This is because:
        - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
          which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
        - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
          information.
      
      The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
      needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
      Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
      first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
      MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
      
      Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
      fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
      when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
      recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
      recovery will continue on them as desired.
      
      Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
      fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
       1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
       2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
          parallel.
      
      Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
        a/ this requires least code change
        b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

      Last night we had scsi problems and a hardware raid unit was offlined

      I guess the high error rate is responsible for not scheduling other events

      Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md · e7e72bf6
      Neil Brown 提交于
      As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
      on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
      get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.
      
      For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
      personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
      Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
      q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.
      
      With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
      longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

      raid5: fix 2 bugs in ops_complete_biofill · e4d84909
      Dan Williams 提交于
      1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
      state necessary to return read completions is available.  However the
      process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
      locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
      ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
      all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
      unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
      request.
      
      2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
      dev->toread.  The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
      before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read.  R5_Wantfill can
      be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
      R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
      ops_complete_biofill.

      Dan Williams 提交于
      When a stripe is being expanded bulk copying takes place to move the data
      from the old stripe to the new.  Since raid5_run_ops only operates on one
      stripe at a time these bulk copies are handled in-line under the stripe
      lock.  In the dma offload case we poll for the completion of the operation.
      
      After the data has been copied into the new stripe the parity needs to be
      recalculated across the new disks.  We reuse the existing postxor
      functionality to carry out this calculation.  By setting STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
      without setting STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN the completion path in handle stripe
      can differentiate expand operations from normal write operations.

      When a read bio is attached to the stripe and the corresponding block is

      md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async check ops · e89f8962
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Check operations are scheduled when the array is being resynced or an
      explicit 'check/repair' command was sent to the array.  Previously check
      operations would destroy the parity block in the cache such that even if
      parity turned out to be correct the parity block would be marked
      !R5_UPTODATE at the completion of the check.  When the operation can be
      carried out by a dma engine the assumption is that it can check parity as a
      read-only operation.  If raid5_run_ops notices that the check was handled
      by hardware it will preserve the R5_UPTODATE status of the parity disk.
      
      When a check operation determines that the parity needs to be repaired we
      reuse the existing compute block infrastructure to carry out the operation.
      Repair operations imply an immediate write back of the data, so to
      differentiate a repair from a normal compute operation the
      STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD flag is added.

      md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async compute ops · f38e1219
      Dan Williams 提交于
      handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when
      it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the
      other up-to-date blocks.
      
      Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in
      handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block.  With the raid5_run_ops
      implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside
      the lock.  To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the
      dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute
      and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it
      were up-to-date.  raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready
      before it is used in another operation.
      
      However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent
      operation are scheduled at the same time.  If a previous call to
      handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the
      async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops.  The
      req_compute variable protects against this case.

      Dan Williams 提交于
      After handle_stripe5 decides whether it wants to perform a
      read-modify-write, or a reconstruct write it calls
      handle_write_operations5.  A read-modify-write operation will perform an
      xor subtraction of the blocks marked with the R5_Wantprexor flag, copy the
      new data into the stripe (biodrain) and perform a postxor operation across
      all up-to-date blocks to generate the new parity.  A reconstruct write is run
      when all blocks are already up-to-date in the cache so all that is needed
      is a biodrain and postxor.
      
      On the completion path STRIPE_OP_PREXOR will be set if the operation was a
      read-modify-write.  The STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN flag is used in the completion
      path to differentiate write-initiated postxor operations versus
      expansion-initiated postxor operations.  Completion of a write triggers i/o

      Dan Williams 提交于
      All the handle_stripe operations that are to be transitioned to use
      raid5_run_ops need a method to coherently gather work under the stripe-lock
      and hand that work off to raid5_run_ops.  The 'get_stripe_work' routine
      runs under the lock to read all the bits in sh->ops.pending that do not
      have the corresponding bit set in sh->ops.ack.  This modified 'pending'
      bitmap is then passed to raid5_run_ops for processing.
      
      The transition from 'ack' to 'completion' does not need similar protection
      as the existing release_stripe infrastructure will guarantee that
      handle_stripe will run again after a completion bit is set, and
      handle_stripe can tolerate a sh->ops.completed bit being set while the lock
      is held.
      
      A call to async_tx_issue_pending_all() is added to raid5d to kick the
      offload engines once all pending stripe operations work has been submitted.
      This enables batching of the submission and completion of operations.

      md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock · 91c00924
      Dan Williams 提交于
      When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following
      attack plan:
      
      1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock)
      2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api
      
      The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and
      the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy
      operations asynchronously, outside the lock.
      
      To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed
      to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests.  In this
      new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work,
      updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and
      calling raid5_run_ops for processing.  The following flags outline the
      requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops:
      
      STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
       - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
      STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
       - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks
      STRIPE_OP_PREXOR
       - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process
      STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
       - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
      STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
       - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
      STRIPE_OP_CHECK
       - verify that the parity is correct
      STRIPE_OP_IO
       - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside
         the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type
      
      The flow is:
      1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending
      2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the
         operation to the async_tx api
      3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set
         sh->ops.complete and release the stripe
      4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit
         new operations that were previously blocked
      
      Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per
      major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this
      routine.

      raid5: replace custom debug PRINTKs with standard pr_debug · 45b4233c
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Replaces PRINTK with pr_debug, and kills the RAID5_DEBUG definition in
      favor of the global DEBUG definition.  To get local debug messages just add
      '#define DEBUG' to the top of the file.

      raid5: refactor handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 (v3) · a4456856
      Dan Williams 提交于
      handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the
      various states of a stripe_head.  By introducing the 'stripe_head_state'
      and 'r6_state' objects, large portions of the logic can be moved to
      sub-routines.
      
      'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously
      stood alone in handle_stripe5,6.  'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6
      specific variables like p_failed and q_failed.
      
      One of the nice side effects of the 'stripe_head_state' change is that it
      allows for further reductions in code duplication between raid5 and raid6.
      The following new routines are shared between raid5 and raid6:
      
      	handle_completed_write_requests
      	handle_requests_to_failed_array
      	handle_stripe_expansion
      
      Changes:
      * v2: fixed 'conf->raid_disk-1' for the raid6 'handle_stripe_expansion' path
      * v3: removed the unused 'dirty' field from struct stripe_head_state
      * v3: coalesced open coded bi_end_io routines into return_io()

      async_tx: add the async_tx api · 9bc89cd8
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
      bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
      dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
      the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
      that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
      api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
       
      	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
      	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
      	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
      
      async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
      provide an api of the following general format:
      
      struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
      async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
      			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
      {
      	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
      	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
      	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
      	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
      		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
      
      	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
      		...
      		<operation>
      		...
      		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	}
      
      	return tx;
      }
      
      async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
      channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
      async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
      uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
      evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
      copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
      handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
      operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
      channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
      dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
      operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
      channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
      transition between a copy and a xor resource.
      
      Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
      converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
      Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
      commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
      copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
       
      On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
      improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
      improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
      percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
      implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
      of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
      utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
      according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
       
      The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
      --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
      * iop342 had 1GB of memory available
      
      Details:
      * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
        async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
      * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
        fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
        tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
        polling wait will be performed
      * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
        channels
      * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
        interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
        pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
      * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
        xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
        source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
        modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
        to mirror the hardware.

      xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx · 685784aa
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
      back to an optimized software routine otherwise.  Xor support is
      implemented using the raid5 xor routines.  For organizational purposes this
      routine is moved to a common area.
      
      The following fixes are also made:
      * rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
      * ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
      * checkpatch.pl fixes
      * mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk
