Christoph Hellwig 74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Ming Lei 022e510fcb md: remove 'idx' from 'struct resync_pages'
bio_add_page() won't fail for resync bio, and the page index for each
bio is same, so remove it.

More importantly the 'idx' of 'struct resync_pages' is initialized in
mempool allocator function, the current way is wrong since mempool is
only responsible for allocation, we can't use that for initialization.

NeilBrown 5a85071c2c md: use a separate bio_set for synchronous IO.
md devices allocate a bio_set and use it for two
distinct purposes.
mddev->bio_set is used to clone bios as part of sending
upper level requests down to lower level devices,
and it is also use for synchronous IO such as superblock
and bitmap updates, and for correcting read errors.

This multiple usage can lead to deadlocks.  It is likely
that cloned bios might be queued for write and to be
waiting for a metadata update before the write can be permitted.
If the cloning exhausted mddev->bio_set, the metadata update
may not be able to proceed.

This scenario has been seen during heavy testing, with lots of IO and
lots of memory pressure.

Address this by adding a new bio_set specifically for synchronous IO.
All synchronous IO goes directly to the underlying device and is not
queued at the md level, so request using entries from the new
mddev->sync_set will complete in a timely fashion.
Requests that use mddev->bio_set will sometimes need to wait
for synchronous IO, but will no longer risk deadlocking that iO.

Also: small simplification in mddev_put(): there is no need to
wait until the spinlock is released before calling bioset_free().

NeilBrown cc27b0c78c md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start()
If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.

We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

Since commit 6791875e2e ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes
to md sysfs files.") changing array_state to 'active' does not use
mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This
revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like
"stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need
for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN
and retrying the write.

NeilBrown 4ad23a9764 MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending
The 'writes_pending' counter is used to determine when the
array is stable so that it can be marked in the superblock
as "Clean".  Consequently it needs to be updated frequently
but only checked for zero occasionally.  Recent changes to
raid5 cause the count to be updated even more often - once
per 4K rather than once per bio.  This provided
justification for making the updates more efficient.

So we replace the atomic counter a percpu-refcount.
This can be incremented and decremented cheaply most of the
time, and can be switched to "atomic" mode when more
precise counting is needed.  As it is possible for multiple
threads to want a precise count, we introduce a
"sync_checker" counter to count the number of threads
in "set_in_sync()", and only switch the refcount back
to percpu mode when that is zero.

We need to be careful about races between set_in_sync()
setting ->in_sync to 1, and md_write_start() setting it
to zero.  md_write_start() holds the rcu_read_lock()
while checking if the refcount is in percpu mode.  If
it is, then we know a switch to 'atomic' will not happen until
after we call rcu_read_unlock(), in which case set_in_sync()
will see the elevated count, and not set in_sync to 1.
If it is not in percpu mode, we take the mddev->lock to
ensure proper synchronization.

It is no longer possible to quickly check if the count is zero, which
we previously did to update a timer or to schedule the md_thread.
So now we do these every time we decrement that counter, but make
sure they are fast.

mod_timer() already optimizes the case where the timeout value doesn't
actually change.  We leverage that further by always rounding off the
jiffies to the timeout value.  This may delay the marking of 'clean'
slightly, but ensure we only perform atomic operation here when absolutely
needed.

md_wakeup_thread() current always calls wake_up(), even if
THREAD_WAKEUP is already set.  That too can be optimised to avoid
calls to wake_up().

NeilBrown 497280509f md/raid5: use md_write_start to count stripes, not bios
We use md_write_start() to increase the count of pending writes, and
md_write_end() to decrement the count.  We currently count bios
submitted to md/raid5.  Change it count stripe_heads that a WRITE bio
has been attached to.

So now, raid5_make_request() calls md_write_start() and then
md_write_end() to keep the count elevated during the setup of the
request.

add_stripe_bio() calls md_write_start() for each stripe_head, and the
completion routines always call md_write_end(), instead of only
calling it when raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes() returns 0.
make_discard_request also calls md_write_start/end().

The parallel between md_write_{start,end} and use of bi_phys_segments
can be seen in that:
 Whenever we set bi_phys_segments to 1, we now call md_write_start.
 Whenever we increment it on non-read requests with
   raid5_inc_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_start().
 Whenever we decrement bi_phys_segments on non-read requsts with
    raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_end().

This reduces our dependence on keeping a per-bio count of active
stripes in bi_phys_segments.

md_write_inc() is added which parallels md_write_start(), but requires
that a write has already been started, and is certain never to sleep.
This can be used inside a spinlocked region when adding to a write
request.

Allow writing to 'consistency_policy' attribute when the array is
active. Add a new function 'change_consistency_policy' to the
md_personality operations structure to handle the change in the
personality code. Values "ppl" and "resync" are accepted and
turn PPL on and off respectively.

When enabling PPL its location and size should first be set using
'ppl_sector' and 'ppl_size' attributes and a valid PPL header should be
written at this location on each member device.

Enabling or disabling PPL is performed under a suspended array.  The
raid5_reset_stripe_cache function frees the stripe cache and allocates
it again in order to allocate or free the ppl_pages for the stripes in
the stripe cache.

Guoqing Jiang 0ba959774e md-cluster: use sync way to handle METADATA_UPDATED msg
Previously, when node received METADATA_UPDATED msg, it just
need to wakeup mddev->thread, then md_reload_sb will be called
eventually.

We taken the asynchronous way to avoid a deadlock issue, the
deadlock issue could happen when one node is receiving the
METADATA_UPDATED msg (wants reconfig_mutex) and trying to run
the path:

md_check_recovery -> mddev_trylock(hold reconfig_mutex)
                  -> md_update_sb-metadata_update_start
		     (want EX on token however token is
		      got by the sending node)

Since we will support resizing for clustered raid, and we
need the metadata update handling to be synchronous so that
the initiating node can detect failure, so we need to change
the way for handling METADATA_UPDATED msg.

But, we obviously need to avoid above deadlock with the
sync way. To make this happen, we considered to not hold
reconfig_mutex to call md_reload_sb, if some other thread
has already taken reconfig_mutex and waiting for the 'token',
then process_recvd_msg() can safely call md_reload_sb()
without taking the mutex. This is because we can be certain
that no other thread will take the mutex, and we also certain
that the actions performed by md_reload_sb() won't interfere
with anything that the other thread is in the middle of.

To make this more concrete, we added a new cinfo->state bit
        MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD

Which is set in lock_token() just before dlm_lock_sync() is
called, and cleared just after. As lock_token() is always
called with reconfig_mutex() held (the specific case is the
resync_info_update which is distinguished well in previous
patch), if process_recvd_msg() finds that the new bit is set,
then the mutex must be held by some other thread, and it will
keep waiting.

So process_metadata_update() can call md_reload_sb() if either
mddev_trylock() succeeds, or if MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD
is set. The tricky bit is what to do if neither of these apply.
We need to wait. Fortunately mddev_unlock() always calls wake_up()
on mddev->thread->wqueue. So we can get lock_token() to call
wake_up() on that when it sets the bit.

There are also some related changes inside this commit:
1. remove RELOAD_SB related codes since there are not valid anymore.
2. mddev is added into md_cluster_info then we can get mddev inside
   lock_token.
3. add new parameter for lock_token to distinguish reconfig_mutex
   is held or not.

And, we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD in below:
1. set it before unregister thread, otherwise a deadlock could
   appear if stop a resyncing array.
   This is because md_unregister_thread(&cinfo->recv_thread) is
   blocked by recv_daemon -> process_recvd_msg
			  -> process_metadata_update.
   To resolve the issue, MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
   also need to be set before unregister thread.
2. set it in metadata_update_start to fix another deadlock.
	a. Node A sends METADATA_UPDATED msg (held Token lock).
	b. Node B wants to do resync, and is blocked since it can't
	   get Token lock, but MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
	   not set since the callchain
	   (md_do_sync -> sync_request
        	       -> resync_info_update
		       -> sendmsg
		       -> lock_comm -> lock_token)
	   doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
	c. Node B trys to update sb (held reconfig_mutex), but stopped
	   at wait_event() in metadata_update_start since we have set
	   MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK flag in lock_comm (step 2).
	d. Then Node B receives METADATA_UPDATED msg from A, of course
	   recv_daemon is blocked forever.
   Since metadata_update_start always calls lock_token with reconfig_mutex,
   we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD here as well, and
   lock_token don't need to set it twice unless lock_token is invoked from
   lock_comm.

Finally, thanks to Neil for his great idea and help!

NeilBrown 688834e6ae md/failfast: add failfast flag for md to be used by some personalities.
This patch just adds a 'failfast' per-device flag which can be stored
in v0.90 or v1.x metadata.
The flag is not used yet but the intent is that it can be used for
mirrored (raid1/raid10) arrays where low latency is more important
than keeping all devices on-line.

Setting the flag for a device effectively gives permission for that
device to be marked as Faulty and excluded from the array on the first
error.  The underlying driver will be directed not to retry requests
that result in failures.  There is a proviso that the device must not
be marked faulty if that would cause the array as a whole to fail, it
may only be marked Faulty if the array remains functional, but is
degraded.

Failures on read requests will cause the device to be marked
as Faulty immediately so that further reads will avoid that
device.  No attempt will be made to correct read errors by
over-writing with the correct data.

It is expected that if transient errors, such as cable unplug, are
possible, then something in user-space will revalidate failed
devices and re-add them when they appear to be working again.

NeilBrown d787be4092 md: reduce the number of synchronize_rcu() calls when multiple devices fail.
Every time a device is removed with ->hot_remove_disk() a synchronize_rcu() call is made
which can delay several milliseconds in some case.
If lots of devices fail at once - as could happen with a large RAID10 where one set
of devices are removed all at once - these delays can add up to be very inconcenient.

As failure is not reversible we can check for that first, setting a
separate flag if it is found, and then all synchronize_rcu() once for
all the flagged devices.  Then ->hot_remove_disk() function can skip the
synchronize_rcu() step if the flag is set.

Guoqing Jiang bb8bf15bd6 md-cluster: fix deadlock issue when add disk to an recoverying array

						wait_event(mddev->sb_wait, !test_bit(MD_CHANGE_PENDING))

md_check_recovery is triggered by wakeup mddev->thread,
but it can't clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag since it can't
get lock which was held by md_attr_store already.

To solve the deadlock problem, we move "->resync_finish()"
from md_do_sync to md_reap_sync_thread (after md_update_sb),
also MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is introduced since it is possible
that node can't get resync lock in md_do_sync.

Then we do not need to wait for MD_CHANGE_PENDING is cleared
or not since metadata should be updated after md_update_sb,
so just call resync_finish if MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is set.

We also unified the code after skip label, since set PENDING
for non-clustered case should be harmless.

Dan Williams 1501efadc5 md/raid: only permit hot-add of compatible integrity profiles
It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is
in-flight in the queue.  Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online
spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile.

The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in
md, commmit c7bfced9a6 "md: suspend i/o during runtime
blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression.

This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has
been established is shared with DM.

1/ Creates a degraded raid1 with an integrity-enabled device (pmem0s) [   59.076127]

Deepa Dinamani 9ebc6ef188 drivers: md: use ktime_get_real_seconds()
get_seconds() API is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems and the API
is deprecated. Replace it with calls to ktime_get_real_seconds()
API instead. Change mddev structure types to time64_t accordingly.

32 bit signed timestamps will overflow in the year 2038.

Change the user interface mdu_array_info_s structure timestamps:
ctime and utime values used in ioctls GET_ARRAY_INFO and
SET_ARRAY_INFO to unsigned int. This will extend the field to last
until the year 2106.
The long term plan is to get rid of ctime and utime values in
this structure as this information can be read from the on-disk
meta data directly.

Clamp the tim64_t timestamps to positive values with a max of U32_MAX
when returning from GET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl to accommodate above changes
in the data type of timestamps to unsigned int.

v0.90 on disk meta data uses u32 for maintaining time stamps.
So this will also last until year 2106.
Assumption is that the usage of v0.90 will be deprecated by
year 2106.

Timestamp fields in the on disk meta data for v1.0 version already
use 64 bit data types. Remove the truncation of the bits while
writing to or reading from these from the disk.

this cannot be done with md_reload_sb because it would deadlock with

This introduces a new flag, MD_RELOAD_SB, which if set, will reload the
superblock. And good_device_nr is also added to 'struct mddev' which is

Goldwyn Rodrigues 70bcecdb15 md-cluster: Improve md_reload_sb to be less error prone
md_reload_sb is too simplistic and it explicitly needs to determine
the changes made by the writing node. However, there are multiple areas
where a simple reload could fail.

Instead, read the superblock of one of the "good" rdevs and update
the necessary information:

- read the superblock into a newly allocated page, by temporarily
  swapping out rdev->sb_page and calling ->load_super.
- if that fails return
- if it succeeds, call check_sb_changes
  1. iterates over list of active devices and checks the matching
   dev_roles[] value.
   	If that is 'faulty', the device must be  marked as faulty
	 - call md_error to mark the device as faulty. Make sure
	   not to set CHANGE_DEVS and wakeup mddev->thread or else
	   it would initiate a resync process, which is the responsibility
	   of the "primary" node.
	 - clear the Blocked bit
	 - Call remove_and_add_spares() to hot remove the device.
	If the device is 'spare':
	 - call remove_and_add_spares() to get the number of spares
	   added in this operation.
	 - Reduce mddev->degraded to mark the array as not degraded.
  2. reset recovery_cp
- read the rest of the rdevs to update recovery_offset. If recovery_offset
  is equal to MaxSector, call spare_active() to set it In_sync

This required that recovery_offset be initialized to MaxSector, as
opposed to zero so as to communicate the end of sync for a rdev.

Tejun Heo 66114cad64 writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

NeilBrown 09314799e4 md: remove 'go_faster' option from ->sync_request()
This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.

The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.

So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.

This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.
