2007-02-05[PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in mdNeilBrown
If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held, it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate. This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a write-out to the md device. For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that requires getting the mddev_lock. So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL alloction while holding the lock, make sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent errors could trigger a problem. So: - use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count - use the spinlock to protect updates to the degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that would be a bigger change in code, and isn't really justified) - remove un-necessary locking in raid5 Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-10[PATCH] md: fix a plug/unplug race in raid5NeilBrown
When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue. So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5 queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will.

2006-07-10[PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncsNeilBrown
We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync. However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current 'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors, not just io sectors. So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

2006-07-10[PATCH] md: delay starting md threads until array is completely setupNeilBrown
When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a reshape or recovery that needs to be completed). We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in particular before queue->queuedata is set. If the thread actually starts very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata and oops.

2006-07-10[PATCH] md: possible fix for unplug problemNeilBrown
I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because the raid5 device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state. This shouldn't be able to happen as 3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged. However it happens none-the-less. This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do, though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases. Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this workaround in place.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Remove bi_end_io call out from under a spinlockNeilBrown
raid5 overloads bi_phys_segments to count the number of blocks that the request was broken in to so that it knows when the bio is completely handled. Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock. In one case we also call bi_end_io under that spinlock, which probably isn't ideal as bi_end_io could be expensive (even though it isn't allowed to sleep). So we reducde the range of the spinlock to just accessing bi_phys_segments.

It will also be useful in cluster-aware raid1 configurations so that all cluster members can leave a section of the array untouched while a resync/recovery happens.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Checkpoint and allow restart of raid5 reshapeNeilBrown
We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices. When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect. When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let user-space worry about it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Core of raid5 resize processNeilBrown
This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process. sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly. It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING. Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to read all blocks on those stripes. Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then is written out and released.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Infrastructure to allow normal IO to continue while array is ↵NeilBrown
expanding We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again. Key elements in this change are: - each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key, thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests. - conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been expanded yet or not.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an arrayNeilBrown
Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache data structure. This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds, we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache. We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again. Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short period of time, we have two kmem_caches.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Split disks array out of raid5 conf structure so it is easier to ↵NeilBrown
grow The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6). The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence. You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth. This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart, mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue. I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more polishing. This patch: Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf' structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier to grow.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.
