Implement barrier support for single device DM devices
This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear
just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely
pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between
devices.
NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets
reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible
-EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk

rw_header function updates three members of io_req data every time
when I/O is processed. bi_rw and notify.fn are never modified once
they get initialized, and so they can be set in advance.
header_to_disk() can also be pulled out of write_header() since only one
caller needs it and write_header() can be replaced by rw_header()
directly.

Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error
reporting.
dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the
target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors.
This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if
someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target
that is in use.
This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.

Always increase the error count when I/O on a leg of a mirror fails.
The error count is used to decide whether to select an alternative
mirror leg. If the target doesn't use the "handle_errors" feature, the
error count is not updated and the bio can get requeued forever by the
read callback.
Fix it by increasing error_count before the handle_errors feature
checking.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.
This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently
read a whole number of pages.
When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce
on the superblock and bitmap.
When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device
which causes an error.
When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page
to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path
to just read the required number of sectors.

Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
devices.
When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.
If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.
Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
- queue attributes are set in DM this way:
request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask
SCSI 65536 0xffffffff
MD RAID1 0 0
LVM 65536 -1 (64bit)
Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
physical segments according to these parameters.
During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After
bio_clone() in stack operation.)
Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here
BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);
(MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)
Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:
dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10
This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
(last page uses only 1024 bytes).
For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().
The patch tries to fix it by:
* initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
blk_queue_make_request()
* make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting
(DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch
to use generic stack limit function too.)
* sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)
* use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which
tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to
the small size of the component devices of the array.

If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed
while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get
deleted while elements are still referenced.
Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending
exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was
destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool
was still there.
This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements
in use.
The scenario:
- You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2.
- Someone writes to the origin.
- It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary
exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the
exception in snapshot 1.
- The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes
(but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced
by an exception from snapshot 2)
- The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing)
and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the
snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us.
- The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but
there are none.
- The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything.
- The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference
on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to
pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into
non-existing mempool.

register_snapshot() performs a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding
_origins_lock for write, but that could write out dirty pages onto a
device that attempts to acquire _origins_lock for read, resulting in
deadlock.
So move the allocation up before taking the lock.
This path is not performance-critical, so it doesn't matter that we

md arrays are not currently destroyed when they are stopped - they
remain in /sys/block. Last time I tried this I tripped over locking
too much.
A consequence of this is that udev doesn't remove anything from /dev.

make sure all partitions are removed using the BLKRRPART ioctl, and

When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio
and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio.
In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit)
or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used,
each processing a different fragment of the original.
Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish
and continues processing the next fragment.
But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several
fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is
only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments.
The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio.
The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new
crypto contexts) and running them independently.
The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to
handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated
after all the fragments are finished.
In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the
mempool. If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for
previous fragments to complete.

Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.
put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does atomic_dec_and_test
on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count.
__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding
dm_snapshot->lock.
This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios
CPU2:
if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) {
flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios));
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
/* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */
return r;
}
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees
primary_pe.
CPU1:
if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe)
free_pending_exception(pe);
... this has no effect.
if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!
This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.
If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.
The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).
This race may be reason for bugs:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825
The patch fixes the code to make sure that:
1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process
must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under
us).
2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order
of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
writes with O_SYNC on.
The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
[conv=notrunc when updating]
1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)
10M 100M 1000M
create,dd 511.46 610.72 11.81
create,dd+fsync 7.10 6.77 8.13
update,dd 431.63 917.41 12.75
update,dd+fsync 7.79 7.43 8.12
compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.
10M 100M 1000M
create,dd 555.03 608.98 123.29
create,dd+fsync 114.27 72.78 76.65
update,dd 152.34 1267.27 124.04
update,dd+fsync 130.56 77.81 77.84
2) linux 2.6.27-rc5 with the patch, write to snapshot origin,

update,dd+fsync 34.12 30.07 26.85
Although still not on par with plain LV performance -

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct

2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver

The 'state' file for a device reports, for example, when the device
has failed. Changes should be reported to userspace ASAP without
the possibility of blocking on low-memory. sysfs_notify does
have that possibility (as it takes a mutex which can be held
across a kmalloc) so use sysfs_notify_dirent instead.

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.
This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or
changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.
For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe. For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.
So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just
the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6.

This patch renames hash_spacing and preshift to spacing and
sector_shift respectively with the following change of semantics:
Case 1: (sizeof(sector_t) <= sizeof(u32)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this case, we have sector_shift = preshift = 0 and spacing =
2 * hash_spacing.
Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code
in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was
(sector/2) / hash_spacing.
Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz
and base double.
Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift +
1 and
spacing = 2 * hash_spacing
during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but
spacing = hash_spacing
in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we
shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than
in the old code.
Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value
as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next
hunk stays the same.
In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as
(sector >> sector_shift) / spacing
In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing,
this equals
((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing
which is the value computed by the old code.

dm-raid1 is setting the 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag unconditionally
when assigning kcopyd work. kcopyd is responsible for copying an
assigned section of disk to one or more other disks. The
'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag affects kcopyd in the following way:
When not set:
kcopyd will immediately stop the copy operation when an error is
encountered.
When set:
kcopyd will try to proceed regardless of errors and try to continue
copying any remaining amount.
Since dm-raid1 tracks regions of the address space that are (or
are not) in sync and it now has the ability to handle these
errors, we can safely enable this optimization. This optimization
is conditional on whether mirror error handling has been enabled.

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced
a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data
structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to
the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it
leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below.
This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data

Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath,
with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate
path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.
The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.
So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).
However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.
This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.
All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev. Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.
So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.
So remove it.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460

The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of
in-flight resync IO to 2Meg. This was copied from raid1 where
it seems quite adequate. However for raid10, some layouts require
a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer
size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced.
There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight
IO at all. Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the
amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any
concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off.
The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO
to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant
latency when normal IO starts up.
So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is
available) which seems to be a good amount. Also reduce the amount
of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if
memory is tight.
Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.

Removing faulty devices from an array is a two stage process.
First the device is moved from being a part of the active array
to being similar to a spare device. Then it can be removed
by a request from user space.
The first step is currently not performed for read-only arrays,
so the second step can never succeed.
So allow readonly arrays to remove failed devices (which aren't
blocked).

When we have externally managed metadata, we need to mark a failed
device as 'Blocked' and not allow any writes until that device
have been marked as faulty in the metadata and the Blocked flag has
been removed.
However it is perfectly OK to allow read requests when there is a
Blocked device, and with a readonly array, there may not be any
metadata-handler watching for blocked devices.
So in raid5/raid6 only allow a Blocked device to interfere with
Write request or resync. Read requests go through untouched.
raid1 and raid10 already differentiate between read and write
properly.

Thus the effect if the change is delayed.
To make the effect more immediate, run the timeout function
immediately if the delay was reduced. This may cause it to run
slightly earlier that required, but that is the safer option.

Fix a race condition that returns incorrect data when a write causes an
exception to be allocated whilst a read is still in flight.
The race condition happens as follows:
* A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the
read is routed to the original device.
* A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception
that reallocates the block. The write proceeds.
* The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data.

All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.
So use RCU to protect these accesses:
- wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
- use list_for_each_entry_rcu
- add to the list with list_add_rcu
- delete from the list with list_del_rcu
- delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work
Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
- after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
already been done,
- after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
- before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
- and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
different list.
So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.
Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed.

bio->bi_rw using bio_data_dir()
This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up. (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole

md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.
Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.
md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

The intended global interpretation is that raid5_run_ops can build a chain
of xor and memcpy operations. When MD registers the compute-xor it tells
async_tx to keep the operation handle around so that another item in the
dependency chain can be submitted. If we are just computing a block to
satisfy a read then we can terminate the chain immediately. raid5_run_ops
gives a better context for this test since it cares about the entire chain.

The STRIPE_OP_* flags record the state of stripe operations which are
performed outside the stripe lock. Their use in indicating which
operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what
the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of
these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs. An easier to read
implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed.
Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was
previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags. For now this only converts
the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the
ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations.
This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code. There is
a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when
the parity calculation for that repair completes. When this happens we will
writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'.

When the 'resync' thread starts or stops, when we explicitly
set sync_action, or when we determine that there is definitely nothing
to do, we notify sync_action.
To stop "sync_action" from occasionally showing the wrong value,
we introduce a new flags - MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER - to say that a
recovery is probably needed or happening, and we make sure
that we set MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING before clearing MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED.

Changes in md/array_state could be of interest to a monitoring
program. So make sure all changes trigger a notification.
Exceptions:
changing active_idle to active is not reported because it
is frequent and not interesting.
changing active to active_idle is only reported on arrays
with externally managed metadata, as it is not interesting

For all array types but linear, ->hot_add_disk returns 1 on
success, 0 on failure.
For linear, it returns 0 on success and -errno on failure.
This doesn't cause a functional problem because the ->hot_add_disk
function of linear is used quite differently to the others.
However it is confusing.
So convert all to return 0 for success or -errno on failure
and fix call sites to match.

offset_store and rdev_size_store allow control of the region of a
device which is to be using in an md/raid array.
They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled,
as changing them on an active array could be dangerous.
However when adding a spare device to an array, we might need to
set the offset and size before starting recovery. So allow
these values to be set also if "->raid_disk < 0" which indicates that
the device is still a spare.

Arrays personalities such as 'raid0' and 'linear' have no redundancy,
and so marking them as 'clean' or 'dirty' is not meaningful.
So always allow write requests without requiring a superblock update.
Such arrays types are detected by ->sync_request being NULL. If it is
not possible to send a sync request we don't need a 'dirty' flag because
all a dirty flag does is trigger some sync_requests.

There is a possible race in md_probe. If two threads call md_probe
for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that
->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add,
thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when
we try to add children to it.
So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to
avoid this possibility.

This makes it possible to just resync a small part of an array.
e.g. if a drive reports that it has questionable sectors,
a 'repair' of just the region covering those sectors will
cause them to be read and, if there is an error, re-written
with correct data.

When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not
cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced
by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since
it was removed.
The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event
counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.
Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' -
the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle
ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the
bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require
a full resync when it is re-added.
With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about
to clear a bit in the bitmap. We record events_cleared when we clear
the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written
out before the bit on storage. This makes it more "obviously correct".
We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going
backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded
array).
Thanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early
"fixes".

We shouldn't acknowledge that a stripe has been expanded (When
reshaping a raid5 by adding a device) until the moved data has
actually been written out. However we are currently
acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR
is complete and before the write.
So track in s.locked whether there are pending writes, and don't
call md_done_sync yet if there are.
Note: we all set R5_LOCKED on devices which are are about to
read from. This probably isn't technically necessary, but is
usually done when writing a block, and justifies the use of
s.locked here.
This bug can lead to a crash if an array is stopped while an reshape

If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.
Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used. In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.
This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.
So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.
If you might have an array like that, issueing
echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action
will make sure recovery completes properly.

If a block is computed (rather than read) then a check/repair operation

This issue has been around since at least 2.6.12, but has become harder to

During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between
when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it
completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe. When
this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked
"insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe. Prior to
2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under
sh->lock. The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still
erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off
and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync".
Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a
prexor was performed. The effect of the change is to sometimes not set
STRIPE_INSYNC. The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting
for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set. If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING
would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all
available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never
be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.
echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may
have lost this race.

Before this patch set (SCSI hardware handlers), initialization of a
path was done asynchronously. Doing that requires a workqueue in each
device/hardware handler module and leads to unneccessary complication
in the device handler code, making it difficult to read the code and
follow the state diagram.
Moving that workqueue to this level makes the device handler code simpler.
Hence, the workqueue is moved to dm level.
A new workqueue is added instead of adding it to the existing workqueue
(kmpathd) for the following reasons:
1. Device activation has to happen faster, stacking them along
with the other workqueue might lead to unnecessary delay
in the activation of the path.
2. The effect could be felt the other way too. i.e the current
events that are handled by the existing workqueue might get
a delayed response.

This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of

This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and

handler are ignored.
One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)
Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.

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.

We use the same 'bio' for both read and write, resetting various fields
between the two operations.
We forgot to reset bv_offset and bv_len however. These are often left
unchanged, but in the case where there is an IO error one or two sectors

This results in correctable errors not being corrected properly. It does

'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.
->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.
This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
- When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
- when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
- Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
transitions - it won't work.
Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external

blk_get_request initializes rq->cmd (rq_init does) so the users don't
need to do that.
The purpose of this patch is to remove sizeof(rq->cmd) and &rq->cmd,
as a preparation for large command support, which changes rq->cmd from
the static array to a pointer. sizeof(rq->cmd) will not make sense and
&rq->cmd won't work.

MD drivers use one printk() call to print 2 log messages and the second line
may be prefixed by a TAB character. It may also output a trailing space
before newline. klogd (I think) turns the TAB character into the 2 characters
'^I' when logging to a file. This looks ugly.
Instead of a leading TAB to indicate continuation, prefix both output lines
with 'raid:' or similar. Also remove any trailing space in the vicinity of
the affected code and consistently end the sentences with a period.

Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its
stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further
delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when:
* a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list'
* 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width
write requests
* 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold
is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the
top two conditions are false.
Benchmark data:
System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB
Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7
Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean
Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
* patched: +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512)
Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS)
* patched: +13%
* patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37%
Changes since v1:
* reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and
make it configurable. This defaults to fairness and modest performance
gains out of the box.
Changes since v2:
* [neilb@suse.de]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not
necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in
add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang
fix.
* [neilb@suse.de]: simplify get_priority_stripe
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is
sampled empty (+11%)
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection
of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%. Note, resetting
bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is
probably too aggressive.
Changes since v3:
* cosmetic fixups

Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O.
It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the
queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device).
The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the
sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs
the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when
the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to
the disk.
This was happenning:
When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of
bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is
woken up.
fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but
there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue.
wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished.
kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices.
The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it.
(The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.)
So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are
unplugged and requests are processed.
This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes),
dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1.
Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the
queue actually to send the request to the device.
This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps
the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes
processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios.
It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests
are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit
3a7f6c990a ("dm crypt: use async crypto").
If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not process them
in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared. So there can be
parallel crypto operations on one part of the write, but only one write bio
can be processed at a time.
This is not optimal and the workqueue code needs to be optimized for parallel
processing, but for now it solves the problem without affecting the
performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current dm-crypt users).

This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the
2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework.
Abstract:
When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the
resync threads of md RAID10 could stall.
This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But
I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will
fail because of resource busy.
The deadlock mechanism:
The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to
be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when
building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in
end_sync_write().
If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining"
should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case
where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock
because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but
end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter
mismatch.
For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case:
Personalities : [raid10]
md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F)
3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_]
[>....................] recovery = 2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec
This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled.
An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock.
md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F)
3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__]

Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for
another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing.
If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync
request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync
progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus
a deadlock.
This patch fixes the problem.

This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the
disk with the lowest block address.
Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from
the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting
of the first band of stripes.
Some advantages:
The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be
used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the
inner blocks.
Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the
first part of the disks.
Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as
they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks
involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk.
If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the
lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.
So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.
rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the

A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only. So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread. There is one place we didn't do this.
The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started. The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write). So the reshape will not proceed.
On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not

When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while
attempting to over-write with correct data.
This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO
to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry
queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze).
However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be
required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to
finish that themselves need attention from raid1d.
So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and
call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that
it can be determined which device(s) have failed. For each mirror device,
a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered. The
characters are:
* A => Alive - No failures
* D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync
* S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync
* R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected
This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures
that happen during read operations. It also adds the ability to
read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are
in-sync.
There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path
and the queued path. When a read request is mapped, if the region
is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path
is taken.
If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that
if the read fails we can retry it. We then discover the status of
a direct read through mirror_end_io. If the read has failed, we will
mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we
don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again.
If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read
from 'read_callback'. If the device failed, we will mark the device
as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device
where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to
core device-mapper when there is a log device failure.
If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are
put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed,
they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens.
Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must
make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued
in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means
that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed
behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we
return from presuspend.
The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was
already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to
presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the
mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes
in the failures list.
Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no
additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O
that we need to requeue (because once we return from
presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work'
is called in response to the following functions:
- complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it
is ready to recover the region
(recovery is stopped) or it needs
to clear the region in the log*
**this doesn't get called while
suspending**
- rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped
- write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call
bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec
(see rh_dec above)
2) Writes with failures are put on
the failures list and queue_work is
called**
** write_callbacks don't happen
during suspend **
- do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending
- add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation
- queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue
is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued.
3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled.
(Write completions are handled through rh_dec/
write_callback - mention above - and do not
use queue_bio.)

This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during
mirror recovery (aka resynchronization). 'fail_mirror' is responsible

This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures
during normal write operations.
The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes.
If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or
success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call
fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes
the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and
selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary
device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW,
while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario
where a failed write changes the primary and gives
recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens.
The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change
to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading
garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new
list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures'
list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark
the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region
state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the
failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()).
If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised
right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the
kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set.
Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if
the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

This patch adds the stripe_end_io function to process errors that might
occur after an IO operation. As part of this there are a number of
enhancements made to record and trigger events:
- New atomic variable in struct stripe to record the number of
errors each stripe volume device has experienced (could be used
later with uevents to report back directly to userspace)
- New workqueue/work struct setup to process the trigger_event function
- New end_io function. It is here that testing for BIO error conditions
take place. It determines the exact stripe that cause the error,
records this in the new atomic variable, and calls the queue_work() function
- New trigger_event function to process failure events. This
calls dm_table_event()

raid5's 'make_request' function calls generic_make_request on underlying
devices and if we run out of stripe heads, it could end up waiting for one of
those requests to complete. This is bad as recursive calls to
generic_make_request go on a queue and are not even attempted until
make_request completes.
So: don't make any generic_make_request calls in raid5 make_request until all
waiting has been done. We do this by simply setting STRIPE_HANDLE instead of
calling handle_stripe().
If we need more stripe_heads, raid5d will get called to process the pending
stripe_heads which will call generic_make_request from a
This change by itself causes a performance hit. So add a change so that
raid5_activate_delayed is only called at unplug time, never in raid5. This
seems to bring back the performance numbers. Calling it in raid5d was
sometimes too soon...

Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to kobject_del
an 'rdev' object from a different thread.
A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference. Consequently, we need to explicitly hold
a reference to ensure that the last reference isn't dropped before the
scheduled work get a chance to call kobject_del.
Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more obvious in
a stack trace which code is to blame.

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.
This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.
So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.
This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given. This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).
However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do. So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.
This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.
So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.
Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.
