When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'. It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.
So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.
Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.
Without this patch, a sequence of:
mknod / open / close / unlink
(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.
With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.
This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35.

blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
so make sure that it does.
To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.
As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions. We don't
need the locking, just the warning removal.
This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is
which is 2.6.37 and later.

'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.
this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.
However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.
So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

If the desired size of an array is set (via sysfs) before the array is
active (which is the normal sequence), we currrently call set_capacity
immediately.
This means that a subsequent 'open' (as can be caused by some
udev-triggers program) will notice the new size and try to probe for
partitions. However as the array isn't quite ready yet the read will
fail. Then when the array is read, as the size doesn't change again
we don't try to re-probe.
So when setting array size via sysfs, only call set_capacity if the
array is already active.

Following symptoms were observed:
1. After raid0->raid10 takeover operation we have array with 2
missing disks.
When we add disk for rebuild, recovery process starts as expected
but it does not finish- it stops at about 90%, md126_resync process
hangs in "D" state.
2. Similar behavior is when we have mounted raid0 array and we
execute takeover to raid10. After this when we try to unmount array-
it causes process umount hangs in "D"
In scenarios above processes hang at the same function- wait_barrier
in raid10.c.
Process waits in macro "wait_event_lock_irq" until the
"!conf->barrier" condition will be true.
In scenarios above it never happens.
Reason was that at the end of level_store, after calling pers->run,
we call mddev_resume. This calls pers->quiesce(mddev, 0) with
RAID10, that calls lower_barrier.
However raise_barrier hadn't been called on that 'conf' yet,
so conf->barrier becomes negative, which is bad.
This patch introduces setting conf->barrier=1 after takeover
operation. It prevents to become barrier negative after call
lower_barrier().

remove_and_add_spares is called in two places where the needs really

remove_and_add_spares should not be called on an array which is about

This flag is not needed and is used badly.
Devices that are included in a native-metadata array are reserved
exclusively for that array - and currently have AllReserved set.
They all are bd_claimed for the rdev and so cannot be shared.
Devices that are included in external-metadata arrays can be shared
among multiple arrays - providing there is no overlap.
These are bd_claimed for md in general - not for a particular rdev.
When changing the amount of a device that is used in an array we need
to check for overlap. This currently includes a check on AllReserved
So even without overlap, sharing with an AllReserved device is not
allowed.
However the bd_claim usage already precludes sharing with these
devices, so the test on AllReserved is not needed. And in fact it is
wrong.
As this is the only use of AllReserved, simply remove all usage and
definition of AllReserved.

As spares can be added manually before a reshape starts, we need to
find them all to mark some of them as in_sync.
Previously we would abort looking for spares when we found an

As spares can be added to the array before the reshape is started,
we need to find and count them when checking there are enough.
The array could have been degraded, so we need to check all devices,

the reshape.
So instead of checking the index, check the In_sync flag as that
reliably tells if the device is a spare or this purpose.

mddev->curr_resync has artificial values of '1' and '2' which are used

Unfortunately they are as ->curr_resync is assigned to
->curr_resync_completed and that value is directly visible through
sysfs.

valued from elsewhere in a form that doesn't have the magic '1' or '2'

When an md device is in the process of coming on line it is possible
for an IO request (typically a partition table probe) to get through
before the array is fully initialised, which can cause unexpected
behaviour (e.g. a crash).
So explicitly record when the array is ready for IO and don't allow IO
through until then.
There is no possibility for a similar problem when the array is going
off-line as there must only be one 'open' at that time, and it is busy
off-lining the array and so cannot send IO requests. So no memory
barrier is needed in md_stop()
This has been a bug since commit 409c57f380 in 2.6.30 which
introduced md_make_request. Before then, each personality would

commit 589a594be1 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem were md_thread would
sometimes call the ->run function at a bad time.
If an error is detected during array start up after the md_thread has
been started, the md_thread is killed. This resulted in the ->run
function being called once. However the array may not be in a state
that it is safe to call ->run.
However the fix imposed meant that ->run was not called on a timeout.
This means that when an array goes idle, bitmap bits do not get
cleared promptly. While the array is busy the bits will still be
cleared when appropriate so this is not very serious. There is no
risk to data.
Change the test so that we only avoid calling ->run when the thread
is being stopped. This more explicitly addresses the problem situation.

This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be
the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1). It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456
drivers.
As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN>
Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in
this case is "raid".
Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (again, raid1 is
planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
<chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors.
[[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
[daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
[min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_write_behind <value>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
[stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs
Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.
Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 1 2048 \
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
# min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).
Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array. The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>
Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example:
0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.

Since current map_request() never enables interrupts, we can change it

Auditing through the dm and block-layer code called from

This patch adds a compatible implementation of the block
chaining mode used by the Loop-AES block device encryption
system (http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/) designed
by Jari Ruusu.
It operates on full 512 byte sectors and uses CBC
with an IV derived from the sector number, the data and
optionally extra IV seed.
This means that after CBC decryption the first block of sector
must be tweaked according to decrypted data.
Loop-AES can use three encryption schemes:
version 1: is plain aes-cbc mode (already compatible)
version 2: uses 64 multikey scheme with own IV generator
version 3: the same as version 2 with additional IV seed
(it uses 65 keys, last key is used as IV seed)
The IV generator is here named lmk (Loop-AES multikey)
and for the cipher specification looks like: aes:64-cbc-lmk
Version 2 and 3 is recognised according to length
of provided multi-key string (which is just hexa encoded
"raw key" used in original Loop-AES ioctl).
Configuration of the device and decoding key string will
be done in userspace (cryptsetup).
(Loop-AES stores keys in gpg encrypted file, raw keys are
output of simple hashing of lines in this file).

This patch adds generic multikey handling to be used
in following patch for Loop-AES mode compatibility.
This patch extends mapping table to optional keycount and
implements generic multi-key capability.
With more keys defined the <key> string is divided into
several <keycount> sections and these are used for tfms.
The tfm is used according to sector offset
(sector 0->tfm[0], sector 1->tfm[1], sector N->tfm[N modulo keycount])
(only power of two values supported for keycount here).
Because of tfms per-cpu allocation, this mode can be take
a lot of memory on large smp systems.

IV (initialisation vector) can in principle depend not only
on sector but also on plaintext data (or other attributes).
Change IV generator interface to work directly with dmreq
structure to allow such dependence in generator.
Also add post() function which is called after the crypto
operation.
This allows tricky modification of decrypted data or IV
internals.
In asynchronous mode the post() can be called after
ctx->sector count was increased so it is needed
to add iv_sector copy directly to dmreq structure.

Currently dm-crypt does all the encryption work for a single dm-crypt
mapping in a single workqueue. This does not scale well when multiple
CPUs are submitting IO at a high rate. The single CPU running the single
thread cannot keep up with the encryption and encrypted IO performance
tanks.
This patch changes the crypto workqueue to be per CPU. This means
that as long as the IO submitter (or the interrupt target CPUs
for reads) runs on different CPUs the encryption work will be also
parallel.
To avoid a bottleneck on the IO worker I also changed those to be
per-CPU threads.
There is still some shared data, so I suspect some bouncing
cache lines. But I haven't done a detailed study on that yet.

Make kcopyd merge more I/O requests by using device unplugging.
Without this patch, each I/O request is dispatched separately to the device.
If the device supports tagged queuing, there are many small requests sent
to the device. To improve performance, this patch will batch as many requests
as possible, allowing the queue to merge consecutive requests, and send them
to the device at once.
In my tests (15k SCSI disk), this patch improves sequential write throughput:
Sequential write throughput (chunksize of 4k, 32k, 512k)
unpatched: 15.2, 18.5, 17.5 MB/s
patched: 14.4, 22.6, 23.0 MB/s
In most common uses (snapshot or two-way mirror), kcopyd is only used for
two devices, one for reading and the other for writing, thus this optimization
is implemented only for two devices. The optimization may be extended to n-way
mirrors with some code complexity increase.
We keep track of two block devices to unplug (one for read and the
other for write) and unplug them when exiting "do_work" thread. If
there are more devices used (in theory it could happen, in practice it
is rare), we unplug immediately.

No longer needlessly hold md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex when changing the

i_size_write() is already protected by the existing critical section in
dm_swap_table(). DM already has a reference on md->bdev so the
associated bd_inode may be changed without lifetime concerns.
A negative side-effect of having held md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex was
that a concurrent DM device resize and flush (via fsync) would deadlock.
Dropping md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex eliminates this potential for
deadlock. The following reproducer no longer deadlocks:

Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
should be.
In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
didn't.
This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
succeeds.

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.
There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.
The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

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.

With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.

As recorded in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24012
it is possible for a flush request through md to hang. This is due to
an interaction between the recursion avoidance in
generic_make_request, the insistence in md of only having one flush
active at a time, and the possibility of dm (or md) submitting two
flush requests to a device from the one generic_make_request.
If a generic_make_request call into dm causes two flush requests to be
queued (as happens if the dm table has two targets - they get one
each), these two will be queued inside generic_make_request.
Assume they are for the same md device.
The first is processed and causes 1 or more flush requests to be sent
to lower devices. These get queued within generic_make_request too.
Then the second flush to the md device gets handled and it blocks
waiting for the first flush to complete. But it won't complete until
the two lower-device requests complete, and they haven't even been
submitted yet as they are on the generic_make_request queue.
The deadlock can be broken by using a separate thread to submit the
requests to lower devices. md has such a thread readily available:
md_wq.
So use it to submit these requests.

one piece was left out -- the md layer does not tell the block layer

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly
complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra
references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder
support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities.
Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it
use a separate interface. This is a step for cleaning up
bd_claim/release. This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but
it will be simplified again with further changes.

Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.

The code for searching through the device list to read-balance in
raid1 is rather clumsy and hard to follow. Try to simplify it a bit.
No important functionality change here.

When writing to an 'external' bitmap we don't currently unplug the
device before waiting, so we can get a 3msec delay each time;
So use REQ_UNPLUG to force and unplug.

bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
the pool can cause deadlocks.
So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
than the common pool.
This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.

Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'.
Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'.
We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io,
So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it.

Though this mem alloc is GFP_NOIO an so will not deadlock, it seems
better to do the allocation before 'raise_barrier' which stops any IO
requests while the resync proceeds.
raid10 always uses this order, so it is at least consistent to do the
same in raid1.
