cc371e66e3 Add bvec_merge_data to handle stacked devices and ->merge_bvec()
When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  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
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

b5470dc5fc md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write
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.

976ea8d475 md: replace STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK with STRIPE_COMPUTE_RUN
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Track the state of compute operations (recalculating a block from all the other
blocks in a stripe) with a state flag.  Reduces the scope of the
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK flag to only tracking whether a compute operation has
been requested via the ops_request field of struct stripe_head_state.

Note, the compute operation that is performed in the course of doing a 'repair'
operation (check the parity block, recalculate it and write it back if the
check result is not zero) is tracked separately with the 'check_state'
variable.  Compute operations are held off while a 'check' is in progress, and
moving this check out to handle_issuing_new_read_requests5 the helper routine
__handle_issuing_new_read_requests5 can be simplified.

This is another step towards the removal of ops.{pending,ack,complete,count},
i.e. STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK only requests an operation and does not track the

ecc65c9b3f md: replace STRIPE_OP_CHECK with 'check_states'
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

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'.

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the
parity block after checking parity.  It took advantage of the fact that
xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check
parity without writing to memory.  Remove it for the following reasons:

1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and
   non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum
2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock
3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated
   parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.

They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled,

a0da84f35b Improve setting of "events_cleared" for write-intent bitmaps.
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".

efe3114318 Don't acknowlege that stripe-expand is complete until it really is.
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
is in progress.

8c2e870a62 Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap)
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.

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.

bab7cfc733 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing paths
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.

cfae5c9bb6 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipath
This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.

This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
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.

dfc7064500 md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
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.

90b08710e4 md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.
In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed.  In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
 So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

698b18c1e8 md: raid1: Fix restoration of bio between failed read and write.
When performing a "recovery" or "check" pass on a RAID1 array, we read
from each device and possible, if there is a difference or a read error,
write back to some devices.

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
into a page, they are changed.

This results in correctable errors not being corrected properly.  It does
not result in any data corruption.

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

e7e72bf641 Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md
As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.

For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.

With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

c8894419ac md: fix raid5 'repair' operations
commit bd2ab67030 "md: close a livelock window
in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair' operations.
After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits tracking this
operation.  However, they are cleared too early and this results in the code
deciding to re-run the parity check operation.  Since we have done the repair
in memory the second check does not find a mismatch and thus does not do a
writeback.

Test results:
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
$ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
51072
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action

31a59e3425 md: fix 'safemode' handling for external metadata.
'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
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).

d7a420c947 raid: remove leading TAB on printk messages
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.

8b3e6cdc53 md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performance
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

7ff14a3615 dm: unplug queues in threads
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.

a2aebe03be dm raid1: use timer
This patch replaces the schedule() in the main kmirrord thread with a timer.
The schedule() could introduce an unwanted delay when work is ready to be
processed.

The code instead calls wake() when there's work to be done immediately, and
delayed_wake() after a failure to give a short delay before retrying.

Initialization and destruction is made globally from dm_init and dm_exit and is
