md: improve handling of bio with REQ_PREFLUSH in md_flush_request()

2019-12-17T19:07:47+00:00

commit 775d78319f1ceb32be8eb3b1202ccdc60e9cb7f1 upstream. If pers->make_request fails in md_flush_request(), the bio is lost. To fix this, pass back a bool to indicate if the original make_request call should continue to handle the I/O and instead of assuming the flush logic will push it to completion. Convert md_flush_request to return a bool and no longer calls the raid driver's make_request function. If the return is true, then the md flush logic has or will complete the bio and the md make_request call is done. If false, then the md make_request function needs to keep processing like it is a normal bio. Let the original call to md_handle_request handle any need to retry sending the bio to the raid driver's make_request function should it be needed. Also mark md_flush_request and the make_request function pointer as __must_check to issue warnings should these critical return values be ignored. Fixes: 2bc13b83e629 ("md: batch flush requests.")

md: only call set_in_sync() when it is expected to succeed.

2019-10-05T13:12:33+00:00

commit 480523feae581ab714ba6610388a3b4619a2f695 upstream. Since commit 4ad23a976413 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending"), set_in_sync() is substantially more expensive: it can wait for a full RCU grace period which can be 10s of milliseconds. So we should only call it when the cost is justified. md_check_recovery() currently calls set_in_sync() every time it finds anything to do (on non-external active arrays). For an array performing resync or recovery, this will be quite often. Each call will introduce a delay to the md thread, which can noticeable affect IO submission latency. In md_check_recovery() we only need to call set_in_sync() if 'safemode' was non-zero at entry, meaning that there has been not recent IO. So we save this "safemode was nonzero" state, and only call set_in_sync() if it was non-zero. This measurably reduces mean and maximum IO submission latency during resync/recovery.

md: don't report active array_state until after revalidate_disk() completes.

2019-10-05T13:12:33+00:00

commit 9d4b45d6af442237560d0bb5502a012baa5234b7 upstream. Until revalidate_disk() has completed, the size of a new md array will appear to be zero. So we shouldn't report, through array_state, that the array is active until that time. udev rules check array_state to see if the array is ready. As soon as it appear to be zero, fsck can be run. If it find the size to be zero, it will fail. So add a new flag to provide an interlock between do_md_run() and array_state_show(). This flag is set while do_md_run() is active and it prevents array_state_show() from reporting that the array is active. Before do_md_run() is called, ->pers will be NULL so array is definitely not active. After do_md_run() is called, revalidate_disk() will have run and the array will be completely ready. We also move various sysfs_notify*() calls out of md_run() into do_md_run() after MD_NOT_READY is cleared. This ensure the information is ready before the notification is sent. Prior to v4.12, array_state_show() was called with the mddev->reconfig_mutex held, which provided exclusion with do_md_run(). Note that MD_NOT_READY cleared twice. This is deliberate to cover both success and error paths with minimal noise.

md: don't set In_sync if array is frozen

2019-10-05T13:11:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 062f5b2ae12a153644c765e7ba3b0f825427be1d ] When a disk is added to array, the following path is called in mdadm. Manage_subdevs -> sysfs_freeze_array -> Manage_add -> sysfs_set_str(&info, NULL, "sync_action","idle") Then from kernel side, Manage_add invokes the path (add_new_disk -> validate_super = super_1_validate) to set In_sync flag. Since In_sync means "device is in_sync with rest of array", and the new added disk need to resync thread to help the synchronization of data. And md_reap_sync_thread would call spare_active to set In_sync for the new added disk finally. So don't set In_sync if array is in frozen.

md: don't call spare_active in md_reap_sync_thread if all member devices can't work

2019-10-05T13:11:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0d8ed0e9bf9643f27f4816dca61081784dedb38d ] When add one disk to array, the md_reap_sync_thread is responsible to activate the spare and set In_sync flag for the new member in spare_active(). But if raid1 has one member disk A, and disk B is added to the array. Then we offline A before all the datas are synchronized from A to B, obviously B doesn't have the latest data as A, but B is still marked with In_sync flag. So let's not call spare_active under the condition, otherwise B is still showed with 'U' state which is not correct. Signed-off-by: Guoqing Jiang Signed-off-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

md: introduce mddev_create/destroy_wb_pool for the change of member device

2019-06-20T23:36:00+00:00

Previously, we called rdev_init_wb to avoid potential data inconsistency when array is created. Now, we need to call the function and create mempool if a device is added or just be flaged as "writemostly". So mddev_create_wb_pool is introduced and called accordingly. And for safety reason, we mark implicit GFP_NOIO allocation scope for create mempool during mddev_suspend/mddev_resume. And mempool should be removed conversely after remove a member device or its's "writemostly" flag, which is done by call mddev_destroy_wb_pool.

md/raid1: fix potential data inconsistency issue with write behind device

2019-06-20T23:35:59+00:00

For write-behind mode, we think write IO is complete once it has reached all the non-writemostly devices. It works fine for single queue devices. But for multiqueue device, if there are lots of IOs come from upper layer, then the write-behind device could issue those IOs to different queues, depends on the each queue's delay, so there is no guarantee that those IOs can arrive in order. To address the issue, we need to check the collision among write behind IOs, we can only continue without collision, otherwise wait for the completion of previous collisioned IO. And WBCollision is introduced for multiqueue device which is worked under write-behind mode. But this patch doesn't handle below cases which could have the data inconsistency issue as well, these cases will be handled in later patches. 1. modify max_write_behind by write backlog node. 2. add or remove array's bitmap dynamically. 3. the change of member disk.
