2013-03-20md/raid5: ensure sync and DISCARD don't happen at the same time.NeilBrown
A number of problems can occur due to races between resync/recovery and discard. - if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event before all of the individual discard requests have completed (so some devices are still locked, but not all). Since commit ca64cae96037de16e4af92678814f5d4bf0c1c65 md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished. this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device, so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared. This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up. - If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is one). So: - keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have completed their discard request - make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at the same time. This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up the discard at the appropriate time. Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.7.

2012-10-11MD: raid5 trim supportShaohua Li
Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6 should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size. Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level drives. The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out. For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario: discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard. If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data consistency is important. If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such payload. Next patch will avoid it.

2012-07-19raid5: add a per-stripe lockShaohua Li
Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce lock contention of conf->device_lock. stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock. Accessing bio list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like ops_run_biofill()) not race. If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will protect them. If the bio are shared, there are two protections: 1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count 2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio not belonging to the stripe Let's have an example: | stripe1 | stripe2 | stripe3 | ...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4..... stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2 because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and stripe3 will end_bio bio4. before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

2011-12-23md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.NeilBrown
During recovery we want to write to the replacement but not the original. So we have two new flags - R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to be written at some stage - R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and a 'sync' has been requested on this stripe. We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read all other devices, and 'replace' which only needs to read the devices being replaced. Note that during resync we always write to any replacement device. It might not need to be written to, but as we don't read to compare, we have to write to be sure.

2011-12-23md/raid5: writes should get directed to replacement as well as original.NeilBrown

Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be used as a 'replacement' device, replacing the original. We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head. This will only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios. For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads. In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far enough, otherwise use the original. This includes a small enhancement. Previously we would only do aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered. Now we also do them if it has recovered far enough.

2011-07-26md/raid5: replace sh->lock with an 'active' flag.NeilBrown
sh->lock is now mainly used to ensure that two threads aren't running in the locked part of handle_stripe[56] at the same time. That can more neatly be achieved with an 'active' flag which we set while running handle_stripe. If we find the flag is set, we simply requeue the stripe for later by setting STRIPE_HANDLE. For safety we take ->device_lock while examining the state of the stripe and creating a summary in 'stripe_head_state / r6_state'. This possibly isn't needed but as shared fields like ->toread, ->towrite are checked it is safer for now at least. We leave the label after the old 'unlock' called "unlock" because it will disappear in a few patches, so renaming seems pointless. This leaves the stripe 'locked' for longer as we clear STRIPE_ACTIVE later, but that is not a problem. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com>

2010-09-10md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA supportTejun Heo
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. In the core part (md.c), the following changes are notable. * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress. * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry logic. Retry logic is removed. * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be deferred to request_queue of member devices. md_barrier_request() is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly. For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough. raid1, 5 and 10 need the following conversions. * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to request_queues of member devices. Barrier related logic removed. * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped. FUA bit is propagated through biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying writes was FUA. preread_active_stripes handling in make_request() is updated as suggested by Neil Brown. * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones. linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

2009-10-16md/raid456: downlevel multicore operations to raid_run_opsDan Williams
The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains (+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance loss). By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an average 11% throughput loss for: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6 echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048 ...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for further multicore experimentation.

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.
