2020-07-16md: rewrite md_setup_drive to avoid ioctlsChristoph Hellwig
md_setup_drive knows it works with md devices, so it is rather pointless to open a file descriptor and issue ioctls.

2020-07-14md: fix deadlock causing by sysfs_notifyJunxiao Bi
The following deadlock was captured. The first process is holding 'kernfs_mutex' and hung by io. The io was staging in 'r1conf.pending_bio_list' of raid1 device, this pending bio list would be flushed by second process 'md127_raid1', but it was hung by 'kernfs_mutex'. Using sysfs_notify_dirent_safe() to replace sysfs_notify() can fix it. There were other sysfs_notify() invoked from io path, removed all of them.

2020-07-13md: improve io stats accountingArtur Paszkiewicz
Use generic io accounting functions to manage io stats. There was an attempt to do this earlier in commit 18c0b223cf99 ("md: use generic io stats accounting functions to simplify io stat accounting"), but it did not include a call to generic_end_io_acct() and caused issues with tracking in-flight IOs, so it was later removed in commit 74672d069b29 ("md: fix md io stats accounting broken"). This patch attempts to fix this by using both disk_start_io_acct() and disk_end_io_acct(). To make it possible, a struct md_io is allocated for every new md bio, which includes the io start_time. A new mempool is introduced for this purpose. We override bio->bi_end_io with our own callback and call disk_start_io_acct() before passing the bio to md_handle_request(). When it completes, we call disk_end_io_acct() and the original bi_end_io callback. This adds correct statistics about in-flight IOs and IO processing time, interpreted e.g. in iostat as await, svctm, aqu-sz and %util. It also fixes a situation where too many IOs where reported if a bio was re-submitted to the mddev, because io accounting is now performed only on newly arriving bios.

2020-05-13md: use memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume()Coly Li
In raid5.c:resize_chunk(), scribble_alloc() is called with GFP_NOIO flag, then it is sent into kvmalloc_array() inside scribble_alloc(). The problem is kvmalloc_array() eventually calls kvmalloc_node() which does not accept non GFP_KERNEL compatible flag like GFP_NOIO, then kmalloc_node() is called indeed to allocate physically continuous pages. When system memory is under heavy pressure, and the requesting size is large, there is high probability that allocating continueous pages will fail. But simply using GFP_KERNEL flag to call kvmalloc_array() is also progblematic. In the code path where scribble_alloc() is called, the raid array is suspended, if kvmalloc_node() triggers memory reclaim I/Os and such I/Os go back to the suspend raid array, deadlock will happen. What is desired here is to allocate non-physically (a.k.a virtually) continuous pages and avoid memory reclaim I/Os. Michal Hocko suggests to use the mmealloc sceope APIs to restrict memory reclaim I/O in allocating context, specifically to call memalloc_noio_save() when suspend the raid array and to call memalloc_noio_restore() when resume the raid array. This patch adds the memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend() and mddev_resume(), to restrict memory reclaim I/Os during the raid array is suspended. The benifit of adding the memalloc scope API in the unified entry point mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() is, no matter which md raid array type (personality), we are sure the deadlock by recursive memory reclaim I/O won't happen on the suspending context. Please notice that the memalloc scope APIs only take effect on the raid array suspending context, if the memory allocation is from another new created kthread after raid array suspended, the recursive memory reclaim I/Os won't be restricted. The mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() entries are used for the critical section where the raid metadata is modifying, creating a kthread to allocate memory inside the critical section is queer and very probably being buggy.

2020-01-13md: introduce a new struct for IO serializationGuoqing Jiang
Obviously, IO serialization could cause the degradation of performance a lot. In order to reduce the degradation, so a rb interval tree is added in raid1 to speed up the check of collision. So, a rb root is needed in md_rdev, then abstract all the serialize related members to a new struct (serial_in_rdev), embed it into md_rdev. Of course, we need to free the struct if it is not needed anymore, so rdev/rdevs_uninit_serial are added accordingly. And they should be called when destroty memory pool or can't alloc memory. And we need to consider to call mddev_destroy_serial_pool in case serialize_policy/write-behind is disabled, bitmap is destroyed or in __md_stop_writes.

And also add "is_suspend" to mddev_destroy_serial_pool since it will be called under suspended situation, which also makes both create and destroy pool have same arguments. 2. Introduce rdevs_init_serial which is called if raid1 io serialization is enabled since all rdevs need to init related stuffs. 3. rdev_init_serial and clear_bit(CollisionCheck, &rdev->flags) should be called between suspend and resume.

2019-10-24md: improve handling of bio with REQ_PREFLUSH in md_flush_request()David Jeffery
If pers->make_request fails in md_flush_request(), the bio is lost. To fix this, pass back a bool to indicate if the original make_request call should continue to handle the I/O and instead of assuming the flush logic will push it to completion. Convert md_flush_request to return a bool and no longer calls the raid driver's make_request function. If the return is true, then the md flush logic has or will complete the bio and the md make_request call is done. If false, then the md make_request function needs to keep processing like it is a normal bio. Let the original call to md_handle_request handle any need to retry sending the bio to the raid driver's make_request function should it be needed. Also mark md_flush_request and the make_request function pointer as __must_check to issue warnings should these critical return values be ignored. Fixes: 2bc13b83e629 ("md: batch flush requests.")

2019-09-03md raid0/linear: Mark array as 'broken' and fail BIOs if a member is goneGuilherme G. Piccoli
Currently md raid0/linear are not provided with any mechanism to validate if an array member got removed or failed. The driver keeps sending BIOs regardless of the state of array members, and kernel shows state 'clean' in the 'array_state' sysfs attribute. This leads to the following situation: if a raid0/linear array member is removed and the array is mounted, some user writing to this array won't realize that errors are happening unless they check dmesg or perform one fsync per written file. Despite udev signaling the member device is gone, 'mdadm' cannot issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl successfully, given the array is mounted. In other words, no -EIO is returned and writes (except direct ones) appear normal. Meaning the user might think the wrote data is correctly stored in the array, but instead garbage was written given that raid0 does stripping (and so, it requires all its members to be working in order to not corrupt data). For md/linear, writes to the available members will work fine, but if the writes go to the missing member(s), it'll cause a file corruption situation, whereas the portion of the writes to the missing devices aren't written effectively. This patch changes this behavior: we check if the block device's gendisk is UP when submitting the BIO to the array member, and if it isn't, we flag the md device as MD_BROKEN and fail subsequent I/Os to that device; a read request to the array requiring data from a valid member is still completed. While flagging the device as MD_BROKEN, we also show a rate-limited warning in the kernel log. A new array state 'broken' was added too: it mimics the state 'clean' in every aspect, being useful only to distinguish if the array has some member missing. We rely on the MD_BROKEN flag to put the array in the 'broken' state. This state cannot be written in 'array_state' as it just shows one or more members of the array are missing but acts like 'clean', it wouldn't make sense to write it. With this patch, the filesystem reacts much faster to the event of missing array member: after some I/O errors, ext4 for instance aborts the journal and prevents corruption. Without this change, we're able to keep writing in the disk and after a machine reboot, e2fsck shows some severe fs errors that demand fixing. This patch was tested in ext4 and xfs filesystems, and requires a 'mdadm' counterpart to handle the 'broken' state.

2019-08-27md: don't report active array_state until after revalidate_disk() completes.NeilBrown
Until revalidate_disk() has completed, the size of a new md array will appear to be zero. So we shouldn't report, through array_state, that the array is active until that time. udev rules check array_state to see if the array is ready. As soon as it appear to be zero, fsck can be run. If it find the size to be zero, it will fail. So add a new flag to provide an interlock between do_md_run() and array_state_show(). This flag is set while do_md_run() is active and it prevents array_state_show() from reporting that the array is active. Before do_md_run() is called, ->pers will be NULL so array is definitely not active. After do_md_run() is called, revalidate_disk() will have run and the array will be completely ready. We also move various sysfs_notify*() calls out of md_run() into do_md_run() after MD_NOT_READY is cleared. This ensure the information is ready before the notification is sent. Prior to v4.12, array_state_show() was called with the mddev->reconfig_mutex held, which provided exclusion with do_md_run(). Note that MD_NOT_READY cleared twice. This is deliberate to cover both success and error paths with minimal noise.

2019-08-07md: allow last device to be forcibly removed from RAID1/RAID10.Guoqing Jiang
When the 'last' device in a RAID1 or RAID10 reports an error, we do not mark it as failed. This would serve little purpose as there is no risk of losing data beyond that which is obviously lost (as there is with RAID5), and there could be other sectors on the device which are readable, and only readable from this device. This in general this maximises access to data. However the current implementation also stops an admin from removing the last device by direct action. This is rarely useful, but in many case is not harmful and can make automation easier by removing special cases. Also, if an attempt to write metadata fails the device must be marked as faulty, else an infinite loop will result, attempting to update the metadata on all non-faulty devices. So add 'fail_last_dev' member to 'struct mddev', then we can bypasses the 'last disk' checks for RAID1 and RAID10, and control the behavior per array by change sysfs node.

Previously, we called rdev_init_wb to avoid potential data inconsistency when array is created. Now, we need to call the function and create mempool if a device is added or just be flaged as "writemostly". So mddev_create_wb_pool is introduced and called accordingly. And for safety reason, we mark implicit GFP_NOIO allocation scope for create mempool during mddev_suspend/mddev_resume. And mempool should be removed conversely after remove a member device or its's "writemostly" flag, which is done by call mddev_destroy_wb_pool.

2019-06-20md/raid1: fix potential data inconsistency issue with write behind deviceGuoqing Jiang
For write-behind mode, we think write IO is complete once it has reached all the non-writemostly devices. It works fine for single queue devices. But for multiqueue device, if there are lots of IOs come from upper layer, then the write-behind device could issue those IOs to different queues, depends on the each queue's delay, so there is no guarantee that those IOs can arrive in order. To address the issue, we need to check the collision among write behind IOs, we can only continue without collision, otherwise wait for the completion of previous collisioned IO. And WBCollision is introduced for multiqueue device which is worked under write-behind mode. But this patch doesn't handle below cases which could have the data inconsistency issue as well, these cases will be handled in later patches. 1. modify max_write_behind by write backlog node. 2. add or remove array's bitmap dynamically. 3. the change of member disk.

2019-04-01md: batch flush requests.NeilBrown
Currently if many flush requests are submitted to an md device is quick succession, they are serialized and can take a long to process them all. We don't really need to call flush all those times - a single flush call can satisfy all requests submitted before it started.

This reverts commit 5a409b4f56d50b212334f338cb8465d65550cd85. This patch has two problems. 1/ it make multiple calls to submit_bio() from inside a make_request_fn. The bios thus submitted will be queued on current->bio_list and not submitted immediately. As the bios are allocated from a mempool, this can theoretically result in a deadlock - all the pool of requests could be in various ->bio_list queues and a subsequent mempool_alloc could block waiting for one of them to be released. 2/ It aims to handle a case when there are many concurrent flush requests. It handles this by submitting many requests in parallel - all of which are identical and so most of which do nothing useful. It would be more efficient to just send one lower-level request, but allow that to satisfy multiple upper-level requests.

2018-10-18md-cluster/raid10: support add disk under grow modeGuoqing Jiang
For clustered raid10 scenario, we need to let all the nodes know about that a new disk is added to the array, and the reshape caused by add new member just need to be happened in one node, but other nodes should know about the change. Since reshape means read data from somewhere (which is already used by array) and write data to unused region. Obviously, it is awful if one node is reading data from address while another node is writing to the same address. Considering we have implemented suspend writes in the resyncing area, so we can just broadcast the reading address to other nodes to avoid the trouble. For master node, it would call reshape_request then update sb during the reshape period. To avoid above trouble, we call resync_info_update to send RESYNC message in reshape_request. Then from slave node's view, it receives two type messages: 1. RESYNCING message Slave node add the address (where master node reading data from) to suspend list. 2. METADATA_UPDATED message Once slave nodes know the reshaping is started in master node, it is time to update reshape position and call start_reshape to follow master node's step. After reshape is done, only reshape position is need to be updated, so the majority task of reshaping is happened on the master node.

2018-07-05md-cluster: show array's status more accurateGuoqing Jiang
When resync or recovery is happening in one node, other nodes don't show the appropriate info now. For example, when create an array in master node without "--assume-clean", then assemble the array in slave nodes, you can see "resync=PENDING" when read /proc/mdstat in slave nodes. However, the info is confusing since "PENDING" status is introduced for start array in read-only mode. We introduce RESYNCING_REMOTE flag to indicate that resync thread is running in remote node. The flags is set when node receive RESYNCING msg. And we clear the REMOTE flag in following cases: 1. resync or recover is finished in master node, which means slaves receive msg with both lo and hi are set to 0. 2. node continues resync/recovery in recover_bitmaps. 3. when resync_finish is called. Then we show accurate information in status_resync by check REMOTE flags and with other conditions.

There is a lock contention when there are many processes which send flush bios to md device. eg. Create many lvs on one raid device and mkfs.xfs on each lv.

2018-01-15raid5-ppl: PPL support for disks with write-back cache enabledTomasz Majchrzak
In order to provide data consistency with PPL for disks with write-back cache enabled all data has to be flushed to disks before next PPL entry. The disks to be flushed are marked in the bitmap. It's modified under a mutex and it's only read after PPL io unit is submitted. A limitation of 64 disks in the array has been introduced to keep data structures and implementation simple. RAID5 arrays with so many disks are not likely due to high risk of multiple disks failure. Such restriction should not be a real life limitation. With write-back cache disabled next PPL entry is submitted when data write for current one completes. Data flush defers next log submission so trigger it when there are no stripes for handling found. As PPL assures all data is flushed to disk at request completion, just acknowledge flush request when PPL is enabled.

2017-12-11md: introduce new personality funciton start()Song Liu
In do_md_run(), md threads should not wake up until the array is fully initialized in md_run(). However, in raid5_run(), raid5-cache may wake up mddev->thread to flush stripes that need to be written back. This design doesn't break badly right now. But it could lead to bad bug in the future. This patch tries to resolve this problem by splitting start up work into two personality functions, run() and start(). Tasks that do not require the md threads should go into run(), while task that require the md threads go into start(). r5l_load_log() is moved to raid5_start(), so it is not called until the md threads are started in do_md_run().

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting". This is an inelegant part of the design and was added to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting. Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume, that need is gone. These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce' with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to call ->quiesce(.., 1); ->quiesce(.., 0) which achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO briefly. This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store, but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose. The code now is a lot clearer.

2017-11-01md: allow metadata update while suspending.NeilBrown
There are various deadlocks that can occur when a thread holds reconfig_mutex and calls ->quiesce(mddev, 1). As some write request block waiting for metadata to be updated (e.g. to record device failure), and as the md thread updates the metadata while the reconfig mutex is held, holding the mutex can stop write requests completing, and this prevents ->quiesce(mddev, 1) from completing. ->quiesce() is now usually called from mddev_suspend(), and it is always called with reconfig_mutex held. So at this time it is safe for the thread to update metadata without explicitly taking the lock. So add 2 new flags, one which says the unlocked updates is allowed, and one which ways it is happening. Then allow it while the quiesce completes, and then wait for it to finish.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

2017-06-21md: use a separate bio_set for synchronous IO.NeilBrown
md devices allocate a bio_set and use it for two distinct purposes. mddev->bio_set is used to clone bios as part of sending upper level requests down to lower level devices, and it is also use for synchronous IO such as superblock and bitmap updates, and for correcting read errors. This multiple usage can lead to deadlocks. It is likely that cloned bios might be queued for write and to be waiting for a metadata update before the write can be permitted. If the cloning exhausted mddev->bio_set, the metadata update may not be able to proceed. This scenario has been seen during heavy testing, with lots of IO and lots of memory pressure. Address this by adding a new bio_set specifically for synchronous IO. All synchronous IO goes directly to the underlying device and is not queued at the md level, so request using entries from the new mddev->sync_set will complete in a timely fashion. Requests that use mddev->bio_set will sometimes need to wait for synchronous IO, but will no longer risk deadlocking that iO. Also: small simplification in mddev_put(): there is no need to wait until the spinlock is released before calling bioset_free().

2017-06-13md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start()NeilBrown
If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call, and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated to mark the array as 'dirty'. As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each other. We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend() is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start() aborted. md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

2017-03-22MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pendingNeilBrown
The 'writes_pending' counter is used to determine when the array is stable so that it can be marked in the superblock as "Clean". Consequently it needs to be updated frequently but only checked for zero occasionally. Recent changes to raid5 cause the count to be updated even more often - once per 4K rather than once per bio. This provided justification for making the updates more efficient. So we replace the atomic counter a percpu-refcount. This can be incremented and decremented cheaply most of the time, and can be switched to "atomic" mode when more precise counting is needed. As it is possible for multiple threads to want a precise count, we introduce a "sync_checker" counter to count the number of threads in "set_in_sync()", and only switch the refcount back to percpu mode when that is zero. We need to be careful about races between set_in_sync() setting ->in_sync to 1, and md_write_start() setting it to zero. md_write_start() holds the rcu_read_lock() while checking if the refcount is in percpu mode. If it is, then we know a switch to 'atomic' will not happen until after we call rcu_read_unlock(), in which case set_in_sync() will see the elevated count, and not set in_sync to 1. If it is not in percpu mode, we take the mddev->lock to ensure proper synchronization. It is no longer possible to quickly check if the count is zero, which we previously did to update a timer or to schedule the md_thread. So now we do these every time we decrement that counter, but make sure they are fast. mod_timer() already optimizes the case where the timeout value doesn't actually change. We leverage that further by always rounding off the jiffies to the timeout value. This may delay the marking of 'clean' slightly, but ensure we only perform atomic operation here when absolutely needed. md_wakeup_thread() current always calls wake_up(), even if THREAD_WAKEUP is already set. That too can be optimised to avoid calls to wake_up(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
2017-03-22md/raid5: use md_write_start to count stripes, not biosNeilBrown
We use md_write_start() to increase the count of pending writes, and md_write_end() to decrement the count. We currently count bios submitted to md/raid5. Change it count stripe_heads that a WRITE bio has been attached to. So now, raid5_make_request() calls md_write_start() and then md_write_end() to keep the count elevated during the setup of the request. add_stripe_bio() calls md_write_start() for each stripe_head, and the completion routines always call md_write_end(), instead of only calling it when raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes() returns 0. make_discard_request also calls md_write_start/end(). The parallel between md_write_{start,end} and use of bi_phys_segments can be seen in that: Whenever we set bi_phys_segments to 1, we now call md_write_start. Whenever we increment it on non-read requests with raid5_inc_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_start(). Whenever we decrement bi_phys_segments on non-read requsts with raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_end(). This reduces our dependence on keeping a per-bio count of active stripes in bi_phys_segments. md_write_inc() is added which parallels md_write_start(), but requires that a write has already been started, and is certain never to sleep. This can be used inside a spinlocked region when adding to a write request. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
