2013-07-18md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()NeilBrown1-23/+30
Recent change to use bio_copy_data() in raid1 when repairing an array is faulty. The underlying may have changed the bio in various ways using bio_advance and these need to be undone not just for the 'sbio' which is being copied to, but also the 'pbio' (primary) which is being copied from. So perform the reset on all bios that were read from and do it early. This also ensure that the sbio->bi_io_vec[j].bv_len passed to memcmp is correct. This fixes a crash during a 'check' of a RAID1 array. The crash was introduced in 3.10 so this is suitable for 3.10-stable.

2013-06-14DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resumeJonathan Brassow1-3/+4
DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resume This patch adds code to the resume function to check over the devices in the RAID array. If any are found to be marked as failed and their superblocks can be read, an attempt is made to reintegrate them into the array. This allows the user to refresh the array with a simple suspend and resume of the array - rather than having to load a completely new table, allocate and initialize all the structures and throw away the old instantiation.

2013-06-13md/raid1,5,10: Disable WRITE SAME until a recovery strategy is in placeH. Peter Anvin1-2/+2
There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact, support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can happen, including drive firmware bugs. After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss. However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero. Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for raid1, raid5, and raid10. [neilb: added raid5] This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same support was added. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

2013-06-13md/raid1,raid10: use freeze_array in place of raise_barrier in various places.NeilBrown1-11/+11
Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they really should call freeze_array. The former is only intended to be called from "make_request". The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the management thread. Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock. Using freeze_array should not. As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore. The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits 050b66152f87c7 (raid10) and 6b740b8d79252f13 (raid1) which appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable kernel since then. This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and will need to be applied by hand.

2013-06-13md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and ↵Alex Lyakas1-1/+11
non-rebuilding drive completed it. Without that fix, the following scenario could happen: - RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding - Drive A fails - WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_Uptodate. - r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled, md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive of raid1 - raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio() - As a result, in call_bio_endio(): if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state)) clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags); this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer. So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data is lost. [neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well] This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel.

More prep work for immutable bvecs: A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong version - fix. After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size).

For immutable bvecs, we need to split these apart; bio_for_each_segment() is going to have a different implementation. This will also help document the intent of code that's using it - bio_for_each_segment_all() is only legal to use for code that owns the bio.

2013-02-26md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock with freeze_array()NeilBrown1-0/+1
When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains all pending requests by calling freeze_array(). This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep, but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather than in the per-array request queue. When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process plug to the per-array request queue (from which flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so it will block forever. So add the requires wake_up() calls. This bug was introduced by commit f54a9d0e59c4bea3db733921ca9147612a6f292c for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present since linux-3.6. As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is suitable for -stable.

2012-11-30wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interfaceLukas Czerner1-8/+7
New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant. The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd" before putting it to sleep. All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the macro with the lock held. Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

But they won't complete while current->bio_list is non-empty. So detect that case and handle the unplugging off to another thread just like we already do when called from within the scheduler.

setup_conf in raid1.c uses conf->raid_disks before assigning a value. It is used when including 'Replacement' devices. The consequence is that assembling an array which contains a replacement will misbehave and either not include the replacement, or not include the device being replaced.

This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not show any performance difference by removing it. So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active. This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large numbers of updates together. Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a measurable effect.

If a resync of a RAID1 array with 2 devices finds a known bad block one device it will neither read from, or write to, that device for this block offset. So there will be one read_target (The other device) and zero write targets. This condition causes md/raid1 to abort the resync assuming that it has finished - without known bad blocks this would be true. When there are no write targets because of the presence of bad blocks we should only skip over the area covered by the bad block. RAID10 already gets this right, raid1 doesn't. Or didn't. As this can cause a 'sync' to abort early and appear to have succeeded it could lead to some data corruption, so it suitable for -stable.

2012-07-31md/raid1: prevent merging too large requestShaohua Li1-7/+49
For SSD, if request size exceeds specific value (optimal io size), request size isn't important for bandwidth. In such condition, if making request size bigger will cause some disks idle, the total throughput will actually drop. A good example is doing a readahead in a two-disk raid1 setup. So when should we split big requests? We absolutly don't want to split big request to very small requests. Even in SSD, big request transfer is more efficient. This patch only considers request with size above optimal io size. If all disks are busy, is it worth doing a split? Say optimal io size is 16k, two requests 32k and two disks. We can let each disk run one 32k request, or split the requests to 4 16k requests and each disk runs two. It's hard to say which case is better, depending on hardware. So only consider case where there are idle disks. For readahead, split is always better in this case. And in my test, below patch can improve > 30% thoughput. Hmm, not 100%, because disk isn't 100% busy. Such case can happen not just in readahead, for example, in directio. But I suppose directio usually will have bigger IO depth and make all disks busy, so I ignored it. Note: if the raid uses any hard disk, we don't prevent merging. That will make performace worse.

2012-07-31md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSDShaohua Li1-3/+31
SSD hasn't spindle, distance between requests means nothing. And the original distance based algorithm sometimes can cause severe performance issue for SSD raid. Considering two thread groups, one accesses file A, the other access file B. The first group will access one disk and the second will access the other disk, because requests are near from one group and far between groups. In this case, read balance might keep one disk very busy but the other relative idle. For SSD, we should try best to distribute requests to as many disks as possible. There isn't spindle move penality anyway. With below patch, I can see more than 50% throughput improvement sometimes depending on workloads. The only exception is small requests can be merged to a big request which typically can drive higher throughput for SSD too. Such small requests are sequential reads. Unlike hard disk, sequential read which can't be merged (for example direct IO, or read without readahead) can be ignored for SSD. Again there is no spindle move penality. readahead dispatches small requests and such requests can be merged. Last patch can help detect sequential read well, at least if concurrent read number isn't greater than raid disk number. In that case, distance based algorithm doesn't work well too. V2: For hard disk and SSD mixed raid, doesn't use distance based algorithm for random IO too. This makes the algorithm generic for raid with SSD.

2012-07-31md/raid1: make sequential read detection per disk basedShaohua Li1-28/+7
Currently the sequential read detection is global wide. It's natural to make it per disk based, which can improve the detection for concurrent multiple sequential reads. And next patch will make SSD read balance not use distance based algorithm, where this change help detect truly sequential read for SSD.

2012-07-31MD: Move macros from raid1*.h to raid1*.cJonathan Brassow1-0/+14
MD RAID1/RAID10: Move some macros from .h file to .c file There are three macros (IO_BLOCKED,IO_MADE_GOOD,BIO_SPECIAL) which are defined in both raid1.h and raid10.h. They are only used in there respective .c files. However, if we wish to make RAID10 accessible to the device-mapper RAID target (dm-raid.c), then we need to move these macros into the .c files where they are used so that they do not conflict with each other. The macros from the two files are identical and could be moved into md.h, but I chose to leave the duplication and have them remain in the personality files.

2012-07-31MD RAID1: rename mirror_info structureJonathan Brassow1-7/+7
MD RAID1: Rename the structure 'mirror_info' to 'raid1_info' The same structure name ('mirror_info') is used by raid10. Each of these structures are defined in there respective header files. If dm-raid is to support both RAID1 and RAID10, the header files will be included and the structure names must not collide. While only one of these structure names needs to change, this patch adds consistency to the naming of the structure.

2012-07-19md/raid1: close some possible races on write errors during resyncNeilBrown1-2/+8
commit 4367af556133723d0f443e14ca8170d9447317cb md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds. Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of sync_request_write. So if the writes complete very quickly, or scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling the request and the resync could hang. Also commit 73d5c38a9536142e062c35997b044e89166e063b md: avoid races when stopping resync. Fix a race condition in this same code in end_sync_write but didn't make the change in sync_request_write. This patch updates sync_request_write to fix both of those. Patch is suitable for 3.1 and later kernels.

2012-07-09md/raid1: fix use-after-free bug in RAID1 data-check code.NeilBrown1-1/+2
This bug has been present ever since data-check was introduce in 2.6.16. However it would only fire if a data-check were done on a degraded array, which was only possible if the array has 3 or more devices. This is certainly possible, but is quite uncommon. Since hot-replace was added in 3.3 it can happen more often as the same condition can arise if not all possible replacements are present. The problem is that as soon as we submit the last read request, the 'r1_bio' structure could be freed at any time, so we really should stop looking at it. If the last device is being read from we will stop looking at it. However if the last device is not due to be read from, we will still check the bio pointer in the r1_bio, but the r1_bio might already be free. So use the read_targets counter to make sure we stop looking for bios to submit as soon as we have submitted them all. This fix is suitable for any -stable kernel since 2.6.16.

2012-07-03md: fix up plugging (again).NeilBrown1-5/+2
The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any call to mempool_alloc. So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make sense. So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread. As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes lots of sense. If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we wake thread immediately. RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the thread on failure. However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request and waking the thread. Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking up. Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not active plugs, just like raid1. This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to -stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline first to be sure it is completely safe. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-07-03md/raid1: fix bug in read_balance introduced by hot-replaceNeilBrown1-2/+2
When we added hot_replace we doubled the number of devices that could be in a RAID1 array. So we doubled how far read_balance would search. Unfortunately we didn't double the point at which it looped back to the beginning - so it effectively loops over all non-replacement disks twice. This doesn't cause bad behaviour, but it pointless and means we never read from replacement devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
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>
2012-05-31md: raid1/raid10: fix problem with merge_bvec_fnNeilBrown1-0/+4
The new merge_bvec_fn which calls the corresponding function in subsidiary devices requires that mddev->merge_check_needed be set if any child has a merge_bvec_fn. However were were only setting that when a device was hot-added, not when a device was present from the start. This bug was introduced in 3.4 so patch is suitable for 3.4.y kernels. However that are conflicts in raid10.c so a separate patch will be needed for 3.4.y.

2012-05-22MD RAID1: Further conditionalize 'fullsync'Jonathan Brassow1-1/+2
A RAID1 device does not necessarily need a fullsync if the bitmap can be used instead. Similar to commit d6b212f4b19da5301e6b6eca562e5c7a2a6e8c8d in raid5.c, if a raid1 device can be brought back (i.e. from a transient failure) it shouldn't need a complete resync. Provided the bitmap is not to old, it will have recorded the areas of the disk that need recovery. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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