TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate
"reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old
and new chunk size.
However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize'
rather than 'reshape_sectors'.
This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from
user-space. It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is
desired.
conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable
locks in place. It is a statement as to the current number of
raid_disks.
There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former
is used. This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array.

In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated
curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.
The reshape code updates both at the same time. However since
commit 97e4f42d62badb0f9fbc27c013e89bc1336a03bc
the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed
but is not in a position to update reshape_position.
So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is
happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update
curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality
reshape code.

The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared
has 2 problems:
1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make
more sense to just hold on to it most of the time.
2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections
of the bitmap

correctness.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.
This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
rd2 -> dev-sda
indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.
These links are only present when the array is active. They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.
So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.
It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.
So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
the range of "unsigned long".
So
- change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
in there and in 'resync'
- Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
remaining sectors.
- use sector_div rather than normal division.
- change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
+ making it a power of 2 makes division easier
+ it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
speed over the entire run. Now we average speed over the last 30
seconds or so.

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).
This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.
This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this
can sometimes fail.
Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.
This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.

There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
"oversee" a resync/reshape process. For example when doing an
in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).
The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
advancing beyond a particular point.
So user-space can:
suspend IO to the first section and back it up
set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.
However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.
It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.
One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
(it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
on that). This defeats some of the double buffering.
With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.
To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
and the value of sync_max. This will usually be a good time for user
space to update sync_max.
If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
(together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
(one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
and stops. So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
insignificant period of time.

The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.
We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).
So:
- make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
- report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
- allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.
This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.
dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()
Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().
This patch fixes two problems:
1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).
- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.
2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete
reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors.
- Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits
(it is done already in run_complete_job)

struct and only release job->pages in run_complete_job() if any are
defined. These changes are needed by the next patch.

Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order.
The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits
for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and
waits for it. (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with
following requests.)
Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error
variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once.
For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when
sending it to the underlying device.
This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device
doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before
barriers were supported in dm.
Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and
handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

Remove queue_io return value and a loop in dm_request.
IO may be submitted to a worker thread with queue_io(). queue_io() sets
DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD so that all further IO is queued for the thread. When
the thread finishes its work, it clears DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD and from this
point on, requests are submitted from dm_request again. This will be used
for processing barriers.
Remove the loop in dm_request. queue_io() can submit I/Os to the worker thread
even if DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD was not set.

Refactor the code in dm_request().
Require the new DMF_BLOCK_FOR_SUSPEND flag on readahead bios we will
discard so we don't drop such bios while processing a barrier.

Split the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag into two.
DMF_BLOCK_IO_FOR_SUSPEND is set when I/O must be blocked while suspending a
device. DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD is set when I/O must be queued to a
worker thread for later processing.

This patch provides support for data integrity passthrough in the device
mapper.
- If one or more component devices support integrity an integrity
profile is preallocated for the DM device.
- If all component devices have compatible profiles the DM device is
flagged as capable.
- Handle integrity metadata when splitting and cloning bios.

Since commit d3f761104b097738932afcc310fbbbbfb007ef92
newly allocated bvecs aren't initialised to NULL, so we have
to be more careful about freeing a bio which only managed
to get a few pages allocated to it. Otherwise the resync
process crashes.
This patch is appropriate for 2.6.29-stable.
