Shaohua Li 620125f2bf MD: raid5 trim support
Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is
small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and
write parity disk.  To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard
must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk
but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out
fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6
should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the
write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size
is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in
practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size
equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to
stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size.

Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or
part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee
zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level
drives.

The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even
correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out.

For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if
zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after
discard.  Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario:
discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The
stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data
from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the
disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable
discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard.

If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue
above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal
write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make
the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data
consistency is important.

If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded
stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is
consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request
stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such
payload. Next patch will avoid it.

Shaohua Li 8811b5968f raid5: make_request use batch stripe release
make_request() does stripe release for every stripe and the stripe usually has
count 1, which makes previous release_stripe() optimization not work. In my
test, this release_stripe() becomes the heaviest pleace to take
conf->device_lock after previous patches applied.

Below patch makes stripe release batch. All the stripes will be released in
unplug. The STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST bit is to protect concurrent access stripe
lru.

Shaohua Li b17459c050 raid5: add a per-stripe lock
Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce
lock contention of conf->device_lock.

stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock.  Accessing bio
list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the
lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like
ops_run_biofill()) not race.

If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we
don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will
protect them. If the bio are shared,  there are two protections:
1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count
2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio
not belonging to the stripe

Let's have an example:
|  stripe1 |  stripe2    |  stripe3  |
...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4.....

stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for
all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to
bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2
because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and
stripe3 will end_bio bio4.

before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio
bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

NeilBrown 9a3e1101b8 md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.

 - R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to

 - R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and
   a 'sync' has been requested on this stripe.

We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read
all other devices, and 'replace' which only needs to read the
devices being replaced.

Note that during resync we always write to any replacement device.
It might not need to be written to, but as we don't read to compare,
we have to write to be sure.

NeilBrown 671488cc25 md/raid5: allow each slot to have an extra replacement device
Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be
used as a 'replacement' device, replacing the original.
We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head.  This will
only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the
original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios.

For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads.
In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far
enough, otherwise use the original.

This includes a small enhancement.  Previously we would only do
aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered.  Now we also
do them if it has recovered far enough.

NeilBrown c4c1663be4 md/raid5: replace sh->lock with an 'active' flag.
sh->lock is now mainly used to ensure that two threads aren't running
in the locked part of handle_stripe[56] at the same time.

That can more neatly be achieved with an 'active' flag which we set
while running handle_stripe.  If we find the flag is set, we simply
requeue the stripe for later by setting STRIPE_HANDLE.

For safety we take ->device_lock while examining the state of the
stripe and creating a summary in 'stripe_head_state / r6_state'.
This possibly isn't needed but as shared fields like ->toread,
->towrite are checked it is safer for now at least.

We leave the label after the old 'unlock' called "unlock" because it
will disappear in a few patches, so renaming seems pointless.

This leaves the stripe 'locked' for longer as we clear STRIPE_ACTIVE
later, but that is not a problem.

Tejun Heo e9c7469bb4 md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.

* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
  processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
  queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.

* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
  logic.  Retry logic is removed.

* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
  be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
  deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
  is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.

For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.

* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
  request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.

* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
  biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
  of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
  writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
  is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.

* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.

Dan Williams 417b8d4ac8 md/raid456: downlevel multicore operations to raid_run_ops
The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%).  However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe().  As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).

By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated.  This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:

	mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6
	echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048

...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for
further multicore experimentation.

Dan Williams ac6b53b6e6 md/raid6: asynchronous raid6 operations
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]

The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.

The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case
except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others
are supported:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
 - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
 - generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
 - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT
 - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
 - verify that the parity is correct

The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely:
1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct)
2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate)
3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks)

NeilBrown 070ec55d07 md: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macro
Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful.
I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private,
than have to know what the macro does.

So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

NeilBrown c8f517c444 md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshape
We currently update the metadata :
 1/ every 3Megabytes
 2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in
    the metadata as still containing old-layout data.

Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the
face of a crash/restart.  So it should really be time based rather
than size based.  So change it to "every 10 seconds".

Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array
'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every
stripe.
For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if
some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
stripes before allowing them to be reshaped.  In that case, the
constant metadata update is pointless.
So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
writing 'new-layout' data.

NeilBrown 784052ecc6 md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.
Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
underway.

This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.

Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
started by setting reshape_position.  In contrast, the new_chunk value
is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
reshape starts.

NeilBrown 86b42c713b md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.
During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are
'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are
'after'.  They are currently differentiated by having different
->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing
the number of disks.

However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number
of disks (chunk parity or chunk size).  So make the difference more
explicit with a 'generation' number.

NeilBrown fef9c61fdf md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.
When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape
process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the
beginning.  So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo
differently.

This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the
implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and
every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right
way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

Dan Williams f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

NeilBrown 67cc2b8165 md/raid5: finish support for DDF/raid6
DDF requires RAID6 calculations over different devices in a different
order.
For md/raid6, we calculate over just the data devices, starting
immediately after the 'Q' block.
For ddf/raid6 we calculate over all devices, using zeros in place of
the P and Q blocks.

This requires unfortunately complex loops...

NeilBrown 99c0fb5f92 md/raid5: Add support for new layouts for raid5 and raid6.
DDF uses different layouts for P and Q blocks than current md/raid6
so add those that are missing.
Also add support for RAID6 layouts that are identical to various
raid5 layouts with the simple addition of one device to hold all of
the 'Q' blocks.
Finally add 'raid5' layouts to match raid4.
These last to will allow online level conversion.

Note that this does not provide correct support for DDF/raid6 yet
as the order in which data blocks are summed to produce the Q block
is significant and different between current md code and DDF
requirements.
