2013-08-27RAID: add tilegx SIMD implementation of raid6Ken Steele1-0/+1
This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid (md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery, as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation. The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. The code reads one cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the next cache-line. The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2 parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is running on 1 core with all the data in cache. This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6. (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6.pdf).

2012-05-21md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.NeilBrown1-2/+8
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.NeilBrown1-1/+6
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>

2011-12-23md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.NeilBrown1-2/+5
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. We currently don't make links for the replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-07-28md: load/store badblock list from v1.x metadataNeilBrown1-4/+10
Space must have been allocated when array was created. A feature flag is set when the badblock list is non-empty, to ensure old kernels don't load and trust the whole device. We only update the on-disk badblocklist when it has changed. If the badblocklist (or other metadata) is stored on a bad block, we don't cope very well. If metadata has no room for bad block, flag bad-blocks as disabled, and do the same for 0.90 metadata. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).NeilBrown1-1/+1
There are two problems with is_mddev_idle. 1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'. curr_events and all the rest are 'long'. So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very long time to return to positive. So do all calculations as 'int'. That gives us plenty of precision for what we need. 2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a suitable range. It used to do this, but now it does not. So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-01-09md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.NeilBrown1-0/+3
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting in an infinite recovery loop. So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error on the lone remaining drive is detected. Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added in case the problem wasn't actually a media error. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-01-09md: Allow md devices to be created by name.NeilBrown1-0/+1
Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial. Using names can be a lot more user-friendly. Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit awkward. So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices. Writing a name such as "md_home" to /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array will cause an array with that name to be created. It will appear in /sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'. It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated. md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last close when the device is inactive. For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state. The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with other devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-01-09md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.NeilBrown1-0/+4
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the gendisk, this a circular reference. If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable this. So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a complication. Between the call __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe and the call __blkdev_get->md_open there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be destroyed prematurely. Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must fail. So: 1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which indicates that the array should be treated as active, even though there are no references, and no appearance of activity. This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it is no longer needed. This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and md_open. 2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches the gendisk that we did open. If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case. In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so we loop at most once. Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open, and then close and so on. So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be removed). As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel. But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version, just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

2009-01-09md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/sync_action.NeilBrown1-0/+1
There is no compelling need for this, but sysfs_notify_dirent is a nicer interface and the change is good for consistency. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-10-21md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/dev-xxx/stateNeilBrown1-0/+3
The 'state' file for a device reports, for example, when the device has failed. Changes should be reported to userspace ASAP without the possibility of blocking on low-memory. sysfs_notify does have that possibility (as it takes a mutex which can be held across a kmalloc) so use sysfs_notify_dirent instead.

2008-10-21md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/array_stateNeilBrown1-1/+4
Now that we have sysfs_notify_dirent, use it to notify changes to md/array_state. As sysfs_notify_dirent can be called in atomic context, we can remove the delayed notify and the MD_NOTIFY_ARRAY_STATE flag. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2008-10-13md: Convert remaining 1k representations in linear.c to sectors.Andre Noll1-2/+4
This patch renames hash_spacing and preshift to spacing and sector_shift respectively with the following change of semantics: Case 1: (sizeof(sector_t) <= sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this case, we have sector_shift = preshift = 0 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was (sector/2) / hash_spacing. Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz and base double. Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but spacing = hash_spacing in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than in the old code. Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next hunk stays the same. In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as (sector >> sector_shift) / spacing In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing, this equals ((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing which is the value computed by the old code.

2008-07-21md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCUNeilBrown1-0/+3
All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this time, havoc (and oops) can ensue. So use RCU to protect these accesses: - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock() - use list_for_each_entry_rcu - add to the list with list_add_rcu - delete from the list with list_del_rcu - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch the list_head. An audit shows that export_rdev is called: - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has already been done, - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed. - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails). - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a different list. So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case. Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2008-07-21md: only count actual openers as access which prevent a 'stop'NeilBrown1-1/+2
Open isn't the only thing that increments ->active. e.g. reading /proc/mdstat will increment it briefly. So to avoid false positives in testing for concurrent access, introduce a new counter that counts just the number of times the md device it open. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2008-06-30md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_writeDan Williams1-1/+1
md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata update has completed. Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active' operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon. md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.
