This allows the state of an md/array to be directly controlled via sysfs and
adds the ability to stop and array without tearing it down.
Array states/settings:
clear
No devices, no size, no level
Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
inactive
May have some settings, but array is not active
all IO results in error
When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
suspended (not supported yet)
All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
readonly
no resync can happen. no superblocks get written.
write requests fail
read-auto
like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request.
clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
When written to inactive array, starts without resync
If a write request arrives then
if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
if not known, block and switch to write-pending
If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
active
fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
When written to inactive array, starts with resync
write-pending (not supported yet)
clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.
active-idle
like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they
might sometimes be slightly different now)
- add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super
block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty
transition.
- Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers
for clean states
- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
transition. To accomodate this, a transition from
dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
if nothing else has changed.
The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.
It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.
This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files.
1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers
to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope.
2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read.
This makes read and write more symetric.
3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no
dirty pages that might get written out later.

If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page
cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of
operations to write the file out. I don't believe this is a supportable
approach.
This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files. i.e.
bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we
write directly to those blocks of the device.
swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous
addresses. We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are
non-contiguous in storage. To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and
store the addresses in those buffers.
With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with
what is on disk. To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the
pagecache when releasing the file. If the file is to be examined while the
array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io
must be used. And new version of mdadm will have support for this.
This approach simplifies a lot of code:
- we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for,
as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding
writes there are. This saves a mempool.
- -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if
they ever were actually).

md/bitmap gets a collection of pages representing the bitmap when it
initialises the bitmap, and puts all the references when discarding the
bitmap.
It also occasionally takes extra references without any good reason, and
sometimes drops them ... though it doesn't always drop them, which can result
in a memory leak.
This patch removes the unnecessary 'get_page' calls, and the corresponding
'put_page' calls.

md/bitmap currently has a separate thread to wait for writes to the bitmap
file to complete (as we cannot get a callback on that action).
However this isn't needed as bitmap_unplug is called from process context and
waits for the writeback thread to do it's work. The same result can be
achieved by doing the waiting directly in bitmap_unplug.

The "industry standard" DDF format allows for a stripe/offset layout where
data is duplicated on different stripes. e.g.
A B C D
D A B C
E F G H
H E F G
(columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data).
This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same. So enhance
'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs
stripe/offset.

If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace
tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be
removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes).
This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open.
It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to
be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the
problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size.
Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure
consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two.
Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace
does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst
other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported.
The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place,
removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the
correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk
size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into)
is reinitialised to the correct size.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.
This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.
Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems.
Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but
the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur'
and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop. This should ring
warning bells... That last time through the loop,
size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size
can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds
there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and
further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address.
This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of
the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is
needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop
starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference
in ->nr_pending over the whole retry. Currently, we only hold the reference
if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it
would normally be the first to finish.
So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch. As the rdev
isn't used in the later code, calling rdev_dec_pending earlier doesn't hurt.

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock. In one case we also call

We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a
position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing
chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices.
When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the
conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the
array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect.
When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the
reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like
when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let

This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process.
sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly.
It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target
geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING.
Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed
by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to
read all blocks on those stripes.
Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are
needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a
STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then

We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and
use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must
block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again.
Key elements in this change are:
- each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key,
thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of
the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these
will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests.
- conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and
is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been
expanded yet or not.

Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache
data structure.
This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds,
we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache.
We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's
new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again.
Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short
period of time, we have two kmem_caches. So they are raid5/%s and

The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only
shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that
changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing
the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6).
The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so
should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does
support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence.
You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth.
This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the
start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart,
mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue.
I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more
polishing.
This patch:
Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf'
structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward
to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate
kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier
to grow.

dm-mirror has potential data corruption problem: while on-disk log shows
that all disk contents are in-sync, actual contents of the disks are not
synchronized. This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is
interrupted and resumed.
Attached patch fixes this problem.
Background:
rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.
This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended
before the initial sync is completed. The clean_bits is written down to
the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied
to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a
region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC
to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.
If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel
sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently. If
you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.
The patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged. It will be changed to
RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery
completes. So it doesn't leak the region hash entry.
Description:
Keep RH_NOSYNC state unchanged when I/O on the region completes.
rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN
(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.
This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended

to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a

If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel
sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently. If
you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.
The RH_NOSYNC region will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts
on the region and get reclaimed when the recovery completes. So it doesn't
leak the region hash entry.

I've analysed the relevant part of the state machine and I believe that
the patch is correct.

snapshot lock), not the next and previous elements which have pointers that
are also being changed.
Secondly, if you have two or more snapshots and write to the same chunk a
second time before every snapshot has finished making its private copy of the
data, if you're unlucky, _origin_write() could attempt its list_merge() and
dereference a 'last' pointer to a pending_exception structure that has just
been freed.
Analysis reveals that the list is actually only there for reference counting.
If 5 pending_exceptions are needed in origin_write, then the 5 are joined
together into a 5-element list - without a separate list head because there's
nowhere suitable to store it. As the pending_exceptions complete, they are
removed from the list one-by-one and any contents of origin_bios get moved
across to one of the remaining pending_exceptions on the list. Whichever one
is last is detected because list_empty() is then true and the origin_bios get
submitted.
The fix proposed here uses an alternative reference counting mechanism by
choosing one of the pending_exceptions as primary and maintaining an atomic
counter there.

Say you have several snapshots of the same origin and then you issue a write
to some place in the origin for the first time.
Before the device-mapper snapshot target lets the write go through to the
underlying device, it needs to make a copy of the data that is about to be
overwritten. Each snapshot is independent, so it makes one copy for each
snapshot.
__origin_write() loops through each snapshot and checks to see whether a copy
is needed for that snapshot. (A copy is only needed the first time that data
changes.)
If a copy is needed, the code allocates a 'pending_exception' structure
holding the details. It links these together for all the snapshots, then
works its way through this list and submits the copying requests to the kcopyd
thread by calling start_copy(). When each request is completed, the original
pending_exception structure gets freed in pending_complete().
If you're very unlucky, this structure can get freed *before* the submission
process has finished walking the list.
This patch:
1) Creates a new temporary list pe_queue to hold the pending exception
structures;
2) Does all the bookkeeping up-front, then walks through the new list
safely and calls start_copy() for each pending_exception that needed it;
3) Avoids attempting to add pe->siblings to the list if it's already
connected.
[NB This does not fix all the races in this code. More patches will follow.]

The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size. Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device. This
test-case shows one example.
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k
This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out
And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100
The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.
This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.
The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
get_array_info
change one field
set_array_info
in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like

As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits. So We should cast it to a loff_t first.
There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
and it doesn't change the size of the array.
When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
at least not straight away.
This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

Clean up the code responsible for the on-disk mirror logs by using the
set_le_bit test_le_bit functions of ext2. That makes the BE machines keep the
bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of
operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance. The
efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that
ext2 uses.
This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits.
Also increment the mirror log disk version transparently to avoid sharing with

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting

->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard

The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10
currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used
to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make.
So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so
that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing
or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing,
and devices being added and removed.
It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that:
We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if
only for EOF).
We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect
it as an exceptional event. Not only are these exceptional events, but
that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events
(It also polls after a timeout).
(We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts).
Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file
is read, rather than when poll() returns an event. This is more robust as it
means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the
program clearly responds to that activity.
md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations.
When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in
the r10_bio so we don't re-try it. During resync, we always read all blocks,
so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that
we found (assuming we found one).
Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way. There
is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case. If there are 3 or more copies,
then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a
bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.

conf->disks[i].rdev should only be accessed if
- we know we hold a reference or
- the mddev->reconfig_sem is down or
- we have a rcu_readlock
handle_stripe was referencing rdev in three places without any of these. For
the first two, get an rcu_readlock. For the last, the same access
(md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed
under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set. So just use that access...
However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the
same information. So use that instead.

Handling of read errors during resync is separate from handling of read errors
during normal IO in raid1. A previous patch added support for read errors
during normal IO. This one adds support for read errors during resync or
recovery.
The key differences are that we don't need to freeze the array, because the
normal handling of resync means that this part of the array will be idle
except for resync, and the read/overwrite/re-read is needed in a separate
piece of code.

I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on
2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem. The configuration
in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors. I set
up the dm_mirror table as such:
0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0
If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes
across both SCSI disks. The sector count of the dm device is less than the
size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end. However, I always get
the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table:
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584
Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive. I
traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which
gets called when we're putting the mirror set together. This function
calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any
resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync.
The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the
core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c.
The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find
out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e. the bit is 0),
which is where the problem occurs. If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1
(which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync
option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter
(lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up
to the nearest multiple of 32! I don't know if this is intentional, but
i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior.
In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like
it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and
return 0. Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning
a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes
the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync
areas outside of the RAID1 region. Seeing as the HostRAID metadata
lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area
is not a good idea.
I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so
that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if
there's a reason for the current behavior.

raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple
copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different
devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.
Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.
With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0

The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned
long". dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only
allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).
The patch below fixes this problem.
The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.
In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).
0 0 0 0 X X X X

As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.
It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means
that they cannot safely be moved between computers with

In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size
calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion
of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission.
This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed
to supply the actual size.)
Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last

md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

The current sync_action for an array can be one of
idle - nothing happening
resync - reduncancy being recalcualted
recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
check - user initiated check of redundancy
repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
bitmap optimisation.
Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause

When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may
commense. This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for
example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image.
So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set
to '1' at boot, at module load, or via
/sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro
When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all
internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically
switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.
The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first
write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.

We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle
barriers, and that can, of course, change with time....
So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,
and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.
We initially assumes barriers are OK.
When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag
things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly.
If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to
resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to
finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag.
When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but
which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this,
and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the
r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find.
We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid.
It should only happen if:
1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices
change like this, though raid1 can!
or
2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to
pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error.
Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have
been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this
has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a
subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and
conitnues.
Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block,
and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the

The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is
specified it gets ignored.
While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the
saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made
live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so
the option *always* gets turned off.
The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate
whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the
device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

The bitmap code used to have two daemons, so there is some 'common' start/stop
code. But now there is only one, so the common code is just noise.
This patch tidies this up somewhat.

mddev->bitmap gets clearred before the writeback daemon is stopped. So the
write_back daemon needs to be careful not to dereference the 'bitmap' if it is
NULL.

Switch MD to use the kthread infrastructure, to simplify the code and get rid
of tasklist_lock abuse in md_unregister_thread.
Also don't flush signals in md_thread, as the called thread will always do
that.

Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have
been flushed.
To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented
each time the raid5 is unplugged.
If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes,
and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write.
When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that
write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq
number.
We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush
and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so
should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

version-1 superblocks are not (normally) 4K long, and can be of variable size.
Writing the full 4K can cause corruption (but only in non-default
configurations).
With this patch the super-block-flavour can choose a size to read, and set a
size to write based on what it finds.

read_sb_page() assumed that if sync_page_io fails, the device would be marked
faultly. However it isn't. So in the face of error, read_sb_page would loop
forever.
Redo the logic so that this cannot happen.
