2009-01-09md: use list_for_each_entry macro directlyCheng Renquan1-5/+3
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel. But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version, just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each. In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry, totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

2008-10-13md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.NeilBrown1-0/+7
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2008-10-09block: move stats from disk to part0Tejun Heo1-4/+5
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to part0 and unify stat handling such that... * part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*(). * {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone. * part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed. * part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates part0 stats for parts other than part0. * disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches. Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case handling in callers unnecessary. * Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part stats show code paths. * Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock() While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing parentheses around macro parameters.

2008-10-09block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo1-3/+5
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.

2008-08-05Don't let a blocked_rdev interfere with read request in raid5/6NeilBrown1-8/+21
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.

2008-08-05Fail safely when trying to grow an array with a write-intent bitmap.NeilBrown1-0/+3
We cannot currently change the size of a write-intent bitmap. So if we change the size of an array which has such a bitmap, it tries to set bits beyond the end of the bitmap. For now, simply reject any request to change the size of an array which has a bitmap. mdadm can remove the bitmap and add a new one after the array has changed size.

2008-06-30md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_writeDan Williams1-3/+9
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.

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.

2008-06-28md: replace STRIPE_OP_CHECK with 'check_states'Dan Williams1-89/+83
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.

However we are currently acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR is complete and before the write.

2008-06-28Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap)Neil Brown1-1/+3
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.

2008-06-06md: fix prexor vs sync_request raceDan Williams1-0/+5
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.

2008-05-24md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.NeilBrown1-1/+9
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.

2008-05-24md: md: raid5 rate limit error printkBernd Schubert1-12/+22
Last night we had scsi problems and a hardware raid unit was offlined during heavy i/o. While this happened we got for about 3 minutes a huge number messages like these Apr 12 03:36:07 pfs1n14 kernel: [197510.696595] raid5:md7: read error not correctable (sector 2993096568 on sdj2). I guess the high error rate is responsible for not scheduling other events - during this time the system was not pingable and in the end also other devices run into scsi command timeouts causing problems on these unrelated devices as well.

2008-05-14Remove blkdev warning triggered by using mdNeil Brown1-0/+1
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. Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

2008-05-13md: fix raid5 'repair' operationsDan Williams1-12/+13
commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "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 $ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt 0 (also fix incorrect indentation) Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Tested-by: George Spelvin <linux@horizon.com> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Allows a userspace metadata handler to take action upon detecting a device failure. Based on an original patch by Neil Brown. Changes: -added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev -don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes -added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds -set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked" -kill DoBlock flag, just test mddev->external Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-28raid: remove leading TAB on printk messagesNick Andrew1-2/+2
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.

2008-04-28md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performanceDan Williams1-10/+112
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 Tested-by: James W.

2008-04-11md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5Dan Williams1-22/+29
If a failure is detected after a parity check operation has been initiated, but before it completes handle_parity_checks5 will never quiesce operations on the stripe. Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh any non-uptodate blocks. Kernel versions >= 2.6.23 are susceptible.
