2012-07-03md: support re-add of recovering devices.NeilBrown1-2/+1
We currently only allow a device to be re-added if it appear to be in-sync. This is overly restrictive as it may be desirable to re-add a device that is in the middle of recovery. So remove the test for "InSync" - the test on rdev->raid_disk is sufficient to ensure that the re-add will succeed.

2012-07-03md: make 'name' arg to md_register_thread non-optional.NeilBrown1-1/+1
Having the 'name' arg optional and defaulting to the current personality name is no necessary and leads to errors, as when changing the level of an array we can end up using the name of the old level instead of the new one. So make it non-optional and always explicitly pass the name of the level that the array will be. Reported-by: majianpeng <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2012-05-22DM RAID: Set recovery flags on resumeJonathan Brassow1-3/+2
Properly initialize MD recovery flags when resuming device-mapper devices. When a device-mapper device is suspended, all I/O must stop. This is done by calling 'md_stop_writes' and 'mddev_suspend'. These calls in-turn manipulate the recovery flags - including setting 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'. The DM device may have been suspended while recovery was not yet complete, so the process needs to pick-up where it left off. Since 'mddev_resume' does not unset 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' and set 'MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED', we must do it ourselves. 'MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED' can safely be set in 'mddev_resume', but 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' must be set outside of 'mddev_resume' due to how MD handles RAID reshaping. (e.g. It is possible for a user to delay reshaping a RAID5->RAID6 by purposefully setting 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'. Clearing it in 'mddev_resume' would override the desired behavior.) Because 'mddev_resume' already unconditionally calls 'md_wakeup_thread(mddev->thread)' there is no need to make this call from 'raid_resume' since it calls 'mddev_resume'. Also clean up where level_store calls mddev_resume() - it current duplicates some of the funcitons of that call. - NB Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md: allow array to be resized while bitmap is present.NeilBrown1-5/+1
Now that bitmaps can be resized, we can allow an array to be resized while the bitmap is present. This only covers resizing that involves changing the effective size of member devices, not resizing that changes the number of devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: move some fields of 'struct bitmap' into a 'storage' substruct.NeilBrown1-4/+5
This new 'struct bitmap_storage' reflects the external storage of the bitmap. Having this clearly defined will make it easier to change the storage used while the array is active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: allow a bitmap with no backing storage.NeilBrown1-2/+3
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>
2012-05-22md/bitmap: add new 'space' attribute for bitmaps.NeilBrown1-2/+31
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.

2012-05-21md: use resync_max_sectors for reshape as well as resync.NeilBrown1-3/+5
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>
2012-05-21md: teach sync_page_io about new_data_offset.NeilBrown1-0/+4
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>
2012-05-21md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.NeilBrown1-21/+196
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>
2012-05-21md: allow a reshape operation to be reversed.NeilBrown1-2/+65
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>

2012-05-17MD: Add del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend (fix nasty panic)Jonathan Brassow1-0/+2
Use del_timer_sync to remove timer before mddev_suspend finishes. We don't want a timer going off after an mddev_suspend is called. This is especially true with device-mapper, since it can call the destructor function immediately following a suspend. This results in the removal (kfree) of the structures upon which the timer depends - resulting in a very ugly panic. Therefore, we add a del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend to prevent this.

2012-04-24md: fix possible corruption of array metadata on shutdown.NeilBrown1-1/+2
commit c744a65c1e2d59acc54333ce8 md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown. removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted. If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array. So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been activated. This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f35c68121e7b18 md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement. cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often. Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition. This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk to be reported much too often. So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking (including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set.

2012-03-19md: fix clearing of the 'changed' flags for the bad blocks list.NeilBrown1-1/+2
In super_1_sync (the first hunk) we need to clear 'changed' before checking read_seqretry(), otherwise we might race with other code adding a bad block and so won't retry later. In md_update_sb (the second hunk), in the case where there is no metadata (neither persistent nor external), we treat any bad blocks as an error. However we need to clear the 'changed' flag before calling md_ack_all_badblocks, else it won't do anything. This patch is suitable for -stable release 3.0 and later.

2012-03-19md/raid10: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.NeilBrown1-0/+1
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most. This is not ideal. So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children as well. This introduces a small problem. There is no locking around calls the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request. So a device added between these could end up getting a request which violates its merge_bvec_fn. Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched(). This will work providing no preemption happens. If there is preemption, we just have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-03-19md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.NeilBrown1-37/+37
md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry, and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the name, which is useful documentation. Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and many use an explicity list_for_each entry. So: - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain list_for_each_entry, - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

2012-03-19md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown.NeilBrown1-22/+15
It seems that with recent kernel, writeback can still be happening while shutdown is happening, and consequently data can be written after the md reboot notifier switches all arrays to read-only. This causes a BUG. So don't switch them to read-only - just mark them clean and set 'safemode' to '2' which mean that immediately after any write the array will be switch back to 'clean'. This could result in the shutdown happening when array is marked dirty, thus forcing a resync on reboot. However if you reboot without performing a "sync" first, you get to keep both halves. This is suitable for any stable kernel (though there might be some conflicts with obvious fixes in earlier kernels). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2012-01-11block: Introduce blk_set_stacking_limits functionMartin K. Petersen1-0/+1
Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver itself. This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking function.

2011-12-23md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.NeilBrown1-1/+54
hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a device to be replaced without removing it from the array first. With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason. This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10. This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device. It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via sysfs. "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced. "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another device. The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original device, not the replacement.

Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and reset the 'recovery_offset' value. If we abort early these might not happen properly. So remove the early abort. In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

2011-12-08md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access.NeilBrown1-1/+18
When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which is refcounted by sysfs. And we also take the mddev_lock. However this is not enough. The final mddev_put could have been called and the mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy the kobj and mddev. In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted. To to guard against this we: - initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be easily detected. - in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to be active. This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we will get -EBUSY. rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-08md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL".NeilBrown1-2/+2
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed. However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes. In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very similar to immediately after we have finished with it. So we always preserve a newly created md device until something significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'. The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to get rid of it. We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed. However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more gradual so we should look for a more definitive change. So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs are ignored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-10-18MD: Allow restarting an interrupted incremental recovery.Andrei Warkentin1-7/+15
If an incremental recovery was interrupted, a subsequent re-add will result in a full recovery, even though an incremental should be possible (seen with raid1). Solve this problem by not updating the superblock on the recovering device until array is not degraded any longer.

2011-10-18md: clear In_sync bit on devices added to an active array.NeilBrown1-0/+1
When we add a device to an active array it can be meaningful to set the 'insync' flag. This indicates that the device is in-sync with the array except for locations recorded in the bitmap. A bitmap-based recovery can then bring it completely in-sync. Internally we move that flag to 'saved_raid_disk' but forgot to clear In_sync like we do in add_new_disk. So clear In_sync after moving its value to saved_raid_disk. Reported-by: Andrei Warkentin <andreiw@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
