2009-05-27md: raid5: change incorrect usage of 'min' macro to 'min_t'NeilBrown
A recent patch to raid5.c use min on an int and a sector_t. This isn't allowed. So change it to min_t(sector_t,x,y). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-26md: raid5: avoid sector values going negative when testing reshape progress.NeilBrown
As sector_t in unsigned, we cannot afford to let 'safepos' etc go negative. So replace a -= b; by a -= min(b,a); Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-04-17md: update sync_completed and reshape_position even more often.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-04-14md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshapeNeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md/raid5: be more careful about write ordering when reshaping.NeilBrown
When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data at that offset. In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before we even consider writing. But when restriping an array without changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have some data to available write before the read has happened at the same location. This would require some stripes to be in cache already. To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing, that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of being read. And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: allow layout and chunksize to be changed on active array.NeilBrown
If an array has 3 or more devices, we allow the chunksize or layout to be changed and when a reshape starts, we use these as the 'new' values. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: allow number of drives in raid5 to be reducedNeilBrown
When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of the array to the beginning. md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning to the end. So largely ignore them use the internal state variable "reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next. Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6, 3 otherwise). We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before the array is reshaped to a smaller size. This is because simply reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at the ends of the devices. Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write an appropriately small size to md/array_size. When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer needed and fix up ->degraded. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: add explicit method to signal the end of a reshape.NeilBrown
Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping) notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being given a large value, and handles any cleanup them. This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an explicit finish_reshape method as well. The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t structure. The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device. This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array while a reshape was happening. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: enhance raid5_size to work correctly with negative delta_disksNeilBrown
This is the first of four patches which combine to allow md/raid5 to reduce the number of devices in the array by restriping the data over a subset of the devices. If the number of disks in a raid4/5/6 is being reduced, then the default size must be based on the new number, not the old number of devices. In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.koDan Williams
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 Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md: 'array_size' sysfs attributeDan Williams
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following semantics: 1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0) a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail if size is greater than the default size b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set array size should be blocked 2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it 3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size. Resync/reshape operations always follow the default size. Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

2-drive raid5's aren't very interesting. But if you are converting a raid1 into a raid5, you will at least temporarily have one. And that it a good time to set the layout/chunksize for the new RAID5 if you aren't happy with the defaults. layout and chunksize don't actually affect the placement of data on a 2-drive raid5, so we just do some internal book-keeping.

2009-03-31md/raid5: finish support for DDF/raid6NeilBrown
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... Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

Rather than passing 'pd_idx' and 'disks' to these functions, just pass 'previous' which tells whether to use the 'previous' or 'current' geometry during a reshape, and let init_stripe calculate disks and pd_idx and anything else it might need. This is not a substantial simplification and even adds a division. However we will shortly be adding more complexity to init_stripe to handle more interesting 'reshape' activities, and without this change, the interface to these functions would get very complex.

2009-03-31md: Make mddev->size sector-based.Andre Noll
This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors" and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of 1K-blocks in it. All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two. In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

2008-10-13md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.NeilBrown
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: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo
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 raid5/6NeilBrown
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.
