The code for searching through the device list to read-balance in raid1 is rather clumsy and hard to follow. Try to simplify it a bit. No important functionality change here. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When writing to an 'external' bitmap we don't currently unplug the device before waiting, so we can get a 3msec delay each time; So use REQ_UNPLUG to force and unplug. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool. If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on the pool can cause deadlocks. So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather than the common pool. This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'. Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'. We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io, So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Though this mem alloc is GFP_NOIO an so will not deadlock, it seems better to do the allocation before 'raise_barrier' which stops any IO requests while the resync proceeds. raid10 always uses this order, so it is at least consistent to do the same in raid1. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

bio_alloc can never fail (as it uses a mempool) but an block indefinitely, especially if the caller is holding a reference to a previously allocated bio. So these to places which both handle failure and hold multiple bios should not use bio_alloc, they should use bio_kmalloc. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the mempool is close to exhaustion. So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple devices in raid1 and raid10. Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance of being allocated. This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and possible handle the write completion at that point.

Workqueue usage in md has two problems. * Flush can be used during or depended upon by memory reclaim, but md uses the system workqueue for flush_work which may lead to deadlock. * md depends on flush_scheduled_work() to achieve exclusion against completion of removal of previous instances. flush_scheduled_work() may incur unexpected amount of delay and is scheduled to be removed. This patch adds two workqueues to md - md_wq and md_misc_wq. The former is guaranteed to make forward progress under memory pressure and serves flush_work. The latter serves as the flush domain for other works. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

bitmap_get_counter returns the number of sectors covered by the counter in a pass-by-reference variable. In some cases this can be very large, so make it a sector_t for safety. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

lock_kernel calls were recently pushed down into open/release functions. md doesn't need that protection. Then the BKL calls were change to md_mutex. We don't need those either. So remove it all. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

A RAID1 which has no persistent metadata, whether internal or external, will hang on the first write. This is caused by commit 070dc6dd In that case, MD_CHANGE_PENDING never gets cleared. So during md_update_sb, is neither persistent or external, clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING. This is suitable for 2.6.36-stable. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
