      md: kill STRIPE_OP_MOD_DMA in raid5 offload · b203886e
      Dan Williams authored 
      From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the
parity block after checking parity.  It took advantage of the fact that
xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check
parity without writing to memory.  Remove it for the following reasons:

1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and
   non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum
2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock
3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated
   parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.

      Support changing rdev size on running arrays. · 0cd17fec
      Chris Webb authored 
      From: Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com>

Allow /sys/block/mdX/md/rdY/size to change on running arrays, moving the
superblock if necessary for this metadata version. We prevent the available
space from shrinking to less than the used size, and allow it to be set to zero
to fill all the available space on the underlying device.

      The important state change happens during an interrupt
in md_error.  So just set a flag there and call sysfs_notify
later in process context.

      Make sure all changes to md/sync_action are notified. · 72a23c21
      Neil Brown authored 
      When the 'resync' thread starts or stops, when we explicitly
set sync_action, or when we determine that there is definitely nothing
to do, we notify sync_action.

To stop "sync_action" from occasionally showing the wrong value,
we introduce a new flags - MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER - to say that a
recovery is probably needed or happening, and we make sure
that we set MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING before clearing MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED.

      Make sure all changes to md/array_state are notified. · 0fd62b86
      Neil Brown authored 
      Changes in md/array_state could be of interest to a monitoring
program.  So make sure all changes trigger a notification.

Exceptions:
   changing active_idle to active is not reported because it
      is frequent and not interesting.
   changing active to active_idle is only reported on arrays
      with externally managed metadata, as it is not interesting
      otherwise.

      rationalise return value for ->hot_add_disk method. · 199050ea
      Neil Brown authored 
      For all array types but linear, ->hot_add_disk returns 1 on
success, 0 on failure.
For linear, it returns 0 on success and -errno on failure.

This doesn't cause a functional problem because the ->hot_add_disk
function of linear is used quite differently to the others.
However it is confusing.

So convert all to return 0 for success or -errno on failure
and fix call sites to match.

      Enable setting of 'offset' and 'size' of a hot-added spare. · 8ed0a521
      Neil Brown authored 
      offset_store and rdev_size_store allow control of the region of a
device which is to be using in an md/raid array.
They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled,
as changing them on an active array could be dangerous.
However when adding a spare device to an array, we might need to
set the offset and size before starting recovery.  So allow
these values to be set also if "->raid_disk < 0" which indicates that
the device is still a spare.

      Don't try to make md arrays dirty if that is not meaningful. · 1a0fd497
      Neil Brown authored 
      Arrays personalities such as 'raid0' and 'linear' have no redundancy,
and so marking them as 'clean' or 'dirty' is not meaningful.
So always allow write requests without requiring a superblock update.

Such arrays types are detected by ->sync_request being NULL.  If it is
not possible to send a sync request we don't need a 'dirty' flag because
all a dirty flag does is trigger some sync_requests.

      Close race in md_probe · f48ed538
      Neil Brown authored 
      There is a possible race in md_probe.  If two threads call md_probe
for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that
->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add,
thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when
we try to add children to it.

So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to
avoid this possibility.

      Allow setting start point for requested check/repair · 5e96ee65
      Neil Brown authored 
      This makes it possible to just resync a small part of an array.
e.g. if a drive reports that it has questionable sectors,
a 'repair' of just the region covering those sectors will
cause them to be read and, if there is an error, re-written
with correct data.

      Improve setting of "events_cleared" for write-intent bitmaps. · a0da84f3
      Neil Brown authored 
      When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not
cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced
by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since
it was removed.

The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event
counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.

Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' -
the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle
ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the
bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require
a full resync when it is re-added.

With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about
to clear a bit in the bitmap.  We record events_cleared when we clear
the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written
out before the bit on storage.  This makes it more "obviously correct".

We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going
backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded
array).

Thanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early
"fixes".

      Turn calls to bi->bi_end_io() into bio_endio(). Apparently bio_endio does

bio_endio() avoids recursion (or will soon), so it should be used.

      Fix error paths if md_probe fails. · 9bbbca3a
      Neil Brown authored 
      md_probe can fail (e.g. alloc_disk could fail) without
returning an error (as it alway returns NULL).
So when we call mddev_find immediately afterwards, we need
to check that md_probe actually succeeded.  This means checking
that mdev->gendisk is non-NULL.

      Don't acknowlege that stripe-expand is complete until it really is. · efe31143
      Neil Brown authored 
      We shouldn't acknowledge that a stripe has been expanded (When
reshaping a raid5 by adding a device) until the moved data has
actually been written out.  However we are currently
acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR
is complete and before the write.

So track in s.locked whether there are pending writes, and don't
call md_done_sync yet if there are.

Note: we all set R5_LOCKED on devices which are are about to
read from.  This probably isn't technically necessary, but is
usually done when writing a block, and justifies the use of
s.locked here.

This bug can lead to a crash if an array is stopped while an reshape
is in progress.

      Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap) · 8c2e870a
      Neil Brown authored 
      If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.

Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used.  In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.

This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.

So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.

If you might have an array like that, issueing
   echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action

will make sure recovery completes properly.
