Commit a7854487:
  md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.

Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.

Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.

So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

RAID10 version of earlier fix for RAID1.  We must never initiate
IO with sizes less that logical_block_size.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This modifies raid1's narrow_write_error to round up block_sectors to the
device's logical block size.

This prevents sd complaining about "Bad block number requested" for non-512-byte
sector disks.

A RAID0 array (like a LINEAR array) does not have a concept
of 'size' being the amount of each device that is in use.
Rather, as much of each device as is available is used.
So the 'size' is set to 0 and ignored.

RAID10 does have this concept and needs it to be set correctly.
So when we convert RAID0 to RAID10 we must determine the
'size' (that being the size of the first 'strip_zone' in the
RAID0), and set it correctly.

Rather than using mddev_lock() to take the reconfig_mutex
when writing to any md sysfs file, we only take mddev_lock()
in the particular _store() functions that require it.
Admittedly this is most, but it isn't all.

This also allows us to remove special-case handling for new_dev_store
(in md_attr_store).

There are interdependencies between these two sysfs attributes
and whether a resync is currently running.

Rather than depending on reconfig_mutex to ensure no races when
testing these interdependencies are met, use the spinlock.
This will allow the mutex to be remove from protecting this
code in a subsequent patch.

There isn't really much room for races with ->safemode_delay.
But as I am trying to clean up any racy code and will soon
be removing reconfig_mutex protection from most _store()
functions:
 - only set mddev->safemode_delay once, to ensure no code
   can see an intermediate value
 - use safemode_timer to call md_safemode_timeout() rather than
   calling it directly, to ensure it never races with itself.

It makes more sense to report bitmap_info->file, rather than
bitmap->file (the later is only available once the array is
active).

With that change, use mddev->lock to protect bitmap_info being
set to NULL, and we can call get_bitmap_file() without taking
the mutex.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

1/ delay setting mddev->bitmap_info.file until 'f' looks
   usable, so we don't have to unset it.
2/ Don't allow bitmap file to be set if bitmap_info.file
   is already set.

'buf' is only used because d_path fills from the end of the

No rdev attributes need locking for 'show', though
state_show() might benefit from ensuring it sees a
consistent set of flags.

None even use rdev->mddev, so testing for it isn't really
needed and it certainly doesn't need to be held constant.

So improve state_show() and remove the locking.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Most attributes can be read safely without any locking.
A race might lead to a slightly out-dated value, but nothing wrong.

We already have locking in some places where needed.
All that remains is can_clear_show(), behind_writes_used_show()
and action_show() which are easily fixed.

It is important that mddev->private isn't freed while
a sysfs attribute function is accessing it.

So use mddev->lock to protect the setting of ->private to NULL, and
take that lock when checking ->private for NULL and de-referencing it
in the sysfs access functions.

This only applies to the read ('show') side of access.  Write
access will be handled separately.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races
not protected by ->lock is walking the rdev list.
This can receive sufficient protection from 'rcu'.

So use rdev_for_each_rcu() and get rid of mddev_lock().

Now reading /proc/mdstat will never block in md_seq_show.

->pers is already protected by ->reconfig_mutex, and
cannot possibly change when there are threads running or
outstanding IO.

However there are some places where we access ->pers
not in a thread or IO context, and where ->reconfig_mutex
is unnecessarily heavy-weight:  level_show and md_seq_show().

So protect all changes, and those accesses, with ->lock.
This is a step toward taking those accesses out from under
reconfig_mutex.

Gather all the changes that can happen atomically and might
be relevant to other code into one place.  This will
make it easier to refine the locking.

Note that this puts quite a few things between mddev_detach()
and ->free().  Enabling this was the point of some recent patches.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
rename is accordingly.

Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using
mddev->private.  This flexibility will be useful in level_store().

Finally, don't clear ->private.  It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before  ->to_remove was
introduced).

Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a
big problem at the moment.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
 1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
    is accessing the ->private data
 2/ it frees the ->private data.

All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.

This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.

So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The use of 'rcu' to protect accesses to ->private_data so that
the ->private_data could be updated predates the introduction
of mddev_suspend/mddev_resume.
These are a cleaner mechanism for providing stability while
swapping in a new ->private data - it is used by level_store()
to support changing of raid levels.

So get rid of the RCU stuff and just use mddev_suspend, mddev_resume.

As these function call ->quiesce(), we add an empty function for
linear just like for raid0.

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.

So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function.  If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.

So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.

When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock.  Fortunately this is the case.

This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further.  So the
name is inappropriate.

Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.

So:
  -rename write_lock to lock
  -document what it protects
  -remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
     is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq).  This can be
     cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

That last condition is unclear and over cautious.

There are two related issues here.

If a partial write is destined for a missing device, then
either RMW or RCW can work.  We must read all the available
block.  Only then can the missing blocks be calculated, and
then the parity update performed.

If RMW is not an option, then there is a complication even
without partial writes.  If we would need to read a missing
device to perform the reconstruction, then we must first read every
block so the missing device data can be computed.
This is the case for RAID6 (Which currently does not support
RMW) and for times when we don't trust the parity (after a crash)
and so are in the process of resyncing it.

So make these two cases more clear and separate, and perform
the relevant tests more  thoroughly.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Both the last two cases are only relevant if something has failed and
something needs to be written (but not over-written), and if it is OK
to pre-read blocks at this point.  So factor out those tests and

If a non-page-aligned write is destined for a device which
is missing/faulty, we can deadlock.

As the target device is missing, a read-modify-write cycle
is not possible.
As the write is not for a full-page, a recontruct-write cycle
is not possible.

This should be handled by logic in fetch_block() which notices
there is a non-R5_OVERWRITE write to a missing device, and so
loads all blocks.

However since commit 67f45548, that code requires
STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE before it will active, and those circumstances
never set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.

So: in handle_stripe_dirtying, if neither rmw or rcw was possible,
set STRIPE_DELAYED, which will cause STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE be set
after a suitable delay.
