Using e.g. set_bit instead of __set_bit and using test_and_clear_bit allow us to remove some locking and contract other locked ranges. It is rare that we set or clear a lot of these bits, so gain should outweigh any cost. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There functions really do one thing together: release the 'bitmap_storage'. So make them just one function. Since we removed the locking (previous patch), we don't need to zero any fields before freeing them, so it all becomes a bit simpler. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There is no real value in freeing things the moment there is an error. It is just as good to free the bitmap file and pages when the bitmap is explicitly removed (and replaced?) or at shutdown. With this gone, the bitmap will only disappear when the array is quiescent, so we can remove some locking. As the 'filemap' doesn't disappear now, include extra checks before trying to write any of it out. Also remove the check for "has it disappeared" in bitmap_daemon_write().

We currently use '&' and '|' which isn't the norm in the kernel and doesn't allow easy atomicity. So change to bit numbers and {set,clear,test}_bit. This allows us to remove a spinlock/unlock (which was dubious anyway) and some other simplifications. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Just do single-bit manipulations on bitmap->flags and copy whole value between that and sb->state. This will allow next patch which changes how bit manipulations are performed on bitmap->flags. This does result in BITMAP_STALE not being set in sb by bitmap_read_sb, however as the setting is determined by other information in the 'sb' we do not lose information this way. Normally, bitmap_load will be called shortly which will clear BITMAP_STALE anyway. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This function isn't really needed. It sets or clears a flag in both bitmap->flags and sb->state. However both times it is called, bitmap_update_sb is called soon afterwards which copies bitmap->flags to sb->state. So just make changes to bitmap->flags, and open-code those rather than hiding in a function. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Most often we have the page number, not the page. And that is what the *_page_attr() functions really want. So change the arguments to take that number. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Instead of allocating pages in read_sb_page, read_page and bitmap_read_sb, allocate them all in bitmap_init_from disk. Also replace the hack of calling "attach_page_buffers(page, NULL)" to ensure that free_buffer() won't complain, by putting a test for PagePrivate in free_buffer().

An md bitmap comprises two parts - internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'. - external storage of whether there are any active writes on each chunk The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the second. Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery of a recently-removed device. So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device. In that case we default to 128M chunks. A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap (possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device. We don't actually activate these bitmaps yet - that will come in a later patch. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If we are to allow bitmaps to be resized when the array is resized, we need to know how much space there is. So create an attribute to store this information and set appropriate defaults. It can be set more precisely via sysfs, or future metadata extensions may allow it to be recorded. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the write intent bitmap. Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits) may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course. There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be cleared. Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by bitmap_daemon_work(). If this flag is clear we can skip the whole page. These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag. This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the bitmap file. So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending' concepts separately. This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we write a page. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When attempting to fix a read error, it is acceptable to read from a device that is recovering, provided the recovery has got past the place we are reading from.

A 'near' or 'offset' lay RAID10 array can be reshaped to a different 'near' or 'offset' layout, a different chunk size, and a different number of devices. However the number of copies cannot change. Unlike RAID5/6, we do not support having user-space backup data that is being relocated during a 'critical section'. Rather, the data_offset of each device must change so that when writing any block to a new location, it will not over-write any data that is still 'live'. This means that RAID10 reshape is not supportable on v0.90 metadata. The different between the old data_offset and the new_offset must be at least the larger of the chunksize multiplied by offset copies of each of the old and new layout. (for 'near' mode, offset_copies == 1). A larger difference of around 64M seems useful for in-place reshapes as more data can be moved between metadata updates. Very large differences (e.g. 512M) seem to slow the process down due to lots of long seeks (on oldish consumer graded devices at least). Metadata needs to be updated whenever the place we are about to write to is considered - by the current metadata - to still contain data in the old layout.

We will soon be interpreting the layout (and chunksize etc) from multiple places to support reshape. So split it out into separate function. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When RAID10 supports reshape it will need a 'previous' and a 'current' geometry, so introduce that here. Use the 'prev' geometry when before the reshape_position, and the current 'geo' when beyond it. At other times, use both as appropriate. For now, both are identical (And reshape_position is never set). When we use the 'prev' geometry, we must use the old data_offset. When we use the current (And a reshape is happening) we must use the new_data_offset. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Some resync type operations need to act on the address space of the device, others on the address space of the array. This only affects RAID10, so it sets resync_max_sectors to the array size (it defaults to the device size), and that is currently used for resync only. However reshape of a RAID10 must be done against the array size, not device size, so change code to use resync_max_sectors for both the resync and the reshape cases. This does not affect RAID5 or RAID1, just RAID10. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Some code in raid1 and raid10 use sync_page_io to read/write pages when responding to read errors. As we will shortly support changing data_offset for raid10, this function must understand new_data_offset. So add that understanding. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We will shortly be adding reshape support for RAID10 which will require it having 2 concurrent geometries (before and after). To make that easier, collect most geometry fields into 'struct geom' and access them from there. Then we will more easily be able to add a second set of fields. Note that 'copies' is not in this struct and so cannot be changed. There is little need to change this number and doing so is a lot more difficult as it requires reallocating more things. So leave it out for now. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The important issue here is incorporating the different in data_offset into calculations concerning when we might need to over-write data that is still thought to be valid. To this end we find the minimum offset difference across all devices and add that where appropriate. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by changing the 'start' address of the array on the device (if there is enough room). So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata. (As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero, we need a new FEATURE flag for this. A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are zero to avoid a repeat of this) The new data offset must be requested separately for each device. This allows each to have a different change in the data offset. This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be set per-device, new_data_offset should be too. This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as it is never used and never will be. At the same time we add a new arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more soon. When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset and rdev->sectors. So provide an exported function to do that. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction. To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers reversed and it will undo. However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to wait until it completes. So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or 'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero. This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to change in a reshape. Then the explicit statement of what direction is being used will be more useful. This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

A flush request is usually issued in transaction commit code path, so using GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory for flush request bio falls into the classic deadlock issue.
