2011-12-08md/raid5: never wait for bad-block acks on failed device.NeilBrown
Once a device is failed we really want to completely ignore it. It should go away soon anyway. In particular the presence of bad blocks on it should not cause us to block as we won't be trying to write there anyway. So as soon as we can check if a device is Faulty, do so and pretend that it is already gone if it is Faulty. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-08md: ensure new badblocks are handled promptly.NeilBrown
When we mark blocks as bad we need them to be acknowledged by the metadata handler promptly. For an in-kernel metadata handler that was already being done. But for an external metadata handler we need to alert it of the change by sending a notification through the sysfs file. This adds that notification. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-08md: bad blocks shouldn't cause a Blocked status on a Faulty device.NeilBrown
Once a device is marked Faulty the badblocks - whether acknowledged or not - become irrelevant. So they shouldn't cause the device to be marked as Blocked. Without this patch, a process might write "-blocked" to clear the Blocked status, but while that will correctly fail the device, it won't remove the apparent 'blocked' status.

2011-12-08md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access.NeilBrown
When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which is refcounted by sysfs. And we also take the mddev_lock. However this is not enough. The final mddev_put could have been called and the mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy the kobj and mddev. In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted. To to guard against this we: - initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be easily detected. - in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to be active. This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we will get -EBUSY. rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-08md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL".NeilBrown
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed. However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes. In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very similar to immediately after we have finished with it. So we always preserve a newly created md device until something significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'. The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to get rid of it. We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed. However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more gradual so we should look for a more definitive change. So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs are ignored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-11-23md/lock: ensure updates to page_attrs are properly locked.NeilBrown
Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not needed. However there are two places where we might set or clear page attributes without holding the spinlock. So add the spinlock in those cases. This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared. This is an inconvenience, not a threat to data safety. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-11-08md/raid5: STRIPE_ACTIVE has lock semantics, add barriersDan Williams

2011-11-08md/raid5: abort any pending parity operations when array fails.NeilBrown

2011-10-31dm: raid fix device status indicator when array initializingJonathan E Brassow
When devices in a RAID array are not in-sync, they are supposed to be reported as such in the status output as an 'a' character, which means "alive, but not in-sync". But when the entire array is rebuilt 'A' is being used, which is incorrect. This patch corrects this to 'a'.

2011-10-31dm log userspace: add log device dependencyJonathan E Brassow
Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies. When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl. Userspace log devices don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from the list of dependencies. This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be registered via 'dm_get_device'. DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented. This is backwards compatible. If the kernel and userspace log server have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the kernel and the device will be registered. If the kernel is new, but the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration as before. If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.

2011-10-31dm: add thin provisioning targetJoe Thornber
Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

2011-10-31dm: add bufioMikulas Patocka
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices, holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes. We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because: * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ . The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

2011-10-31md/raid10: Fix bug when activating a hot-spare.NeilBrown
This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10. When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first working device. This is likely to make the array non-functional. It would normally be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not guaranteed.

2011-10-26md: Fix some bugs in recovery_disabled handling.NeilBrown
In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf-> value. Two problems: 1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'. 2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation time. It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they could appear equal and thus disable recovery. This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array which changes the mddev value. However the dmraid interface doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled. So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

2011-10-26md/raid5: fix bug that could result in reads from a failed device.NeilBrown
This bug was introduced in 415e72d034c50520ddb7ff79e7d1792c1306f0c9 which was in 2.6.36. There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when it is removed from the array. During this time we might still read from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could read stale data. We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on In_sync is sufficient. Since we started allowing reads from the early part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too. This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-10-18md: clear In_sync bit on devices added to an active array.NeilBrown
When we add a device to an active array it can be meaningful to set the 'insync' flag. This indicates that the device is in-sync with the array except for locations recorded in the bitmap. A bitmap-based recovery can then bring it completely in-sync. Internally we move that flag to 'saved_raid_disk' but forgot to clear In_sync like we do in add_new_disk. So clear In_sync after moving its value to saved_raid_disk. Reported-by: Andrei Warkentin <andreiw@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-10-11md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.NeilBrown
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all. However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so it doesn't suffer from this problem). So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable via module option just in case someone finds a regression. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
