This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.
md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity. The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().
The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.
For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).
This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.
This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:
1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0)
a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
if size is greater than the default size
b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality
Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size. Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.
Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.
The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.
So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.
There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module
code).

There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time
which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed.
When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry
is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having
completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed. So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.
Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.

For raid1/4/5/6, resync (fixing inconsistencies between devices) is
very similar to recovery (rebuilding a failed device onto a spare).
The both walk through the device addresses in order.
For raid10 it can be quite different. resync follows the 'array'
address, and makes sure all copies are the same. Recover walks
through 'device' addresses and recreates each missing block.
The 'bitmap_cond_end_sync' function allows the write-intent-bitmap
(When present) to be updated to reflect a partially completed resync.
It makes assumptions which mean that it does not work correctly for
raid10 recovery at all.
In particularly, it can cause bitmap-directed recovery of a raid10 to
not recovery some of the blocks that need to be recovered.
So move the call to bitmap_cond_end_sync into the resync path, rather
than being in the common "resync or recovery" path.

When doing recovery on a raid10 with a write-intent bitmap, we only
need to recovery chunks that are flagged in the bitmap.
However if we choose to skip a chunk as it isn't flag, the code
currently skips the whole raid10-chunk, thus it might not recovery
some blocks that need recovering.
This patch fixes it.
In case that is confusing, it might help to understand that there
is a 'raid10 chunk size' which guides how data is distributed across
the devices, and a 'bitmap chunk size' which says how much data
corresponds to a single bit in the bitmap.
This bug only affects cases where the bitmap chunk size is smaller
than the raid10 chunk size.

Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.
This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or

For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe. For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of
in-flight resync IO to 2Meg. This was copied from raid1 where
it seems quite adequate. However for raid10, some layouts require
a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer
size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced.
There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight
IO at all. Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the
amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any
concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off.
The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO
to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant
latency when normal IO starts up.
So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is
available) which seems to be a good amount. Also reduce the amount
of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if
memory is tight.
Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.

Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
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.

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change
b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the
2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework.
Abstract:
When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the
resync threads of md RAID10 could stall.
This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter. But
I think stall is not preferable. If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will
fail because of resource busy.
The deadlock mechanism:
The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to
be handled when recovering. The "remaining" counter is incremented when
building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in
end_sync_write().
If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining"
should be decremented if it has already been incremented. I found a case
where this decrement is forgotten. This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock
because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but
end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter
mismatch.
For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case:
Personalities : [raid10]

This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled.
An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock.

The resync thread keeps working, but actually it is deadlocked.
Patch:
By this patch, the remaining counter will be decremented if needed.

Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for
another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing.
If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync
request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync
progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes. Thus
a deadlock.
This patch fixes the problem.

This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the
disk with the lowest block address.
Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from
the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting
of the first band of stripes.
Some advantages:
The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be
used. The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the
inner blocks.
Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the
first part of the disks.
Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as
they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks
involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk.
If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the
lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while
attempting to over-write with correct data.
This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO
to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry
queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze).
However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be
required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to
finish that themselves need attention from raid1d.
So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and
call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.
Thanks to "K.Tanaka" <k-tanaka@ce.jp.nec.com> for finding and reporting this
problem.

As this is more in line with common practice in the kernel. Also swap the
args around to be more like list_for_each.

This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.
Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if
such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.
