2011-07-28md/raid5: Clear bad blocks on successful write.NeilBrown1-1/+18
On a successful write to a known bad block, flag the sh so that raid5d can remove the known bad block from the list. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md/raid5. Don't write to known bad block on doubtful devices.NeilBrown1-1/+30
If a device has seen write errors, don't write to any known bad blocks on that device. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md/raid5: write errors should be recorded as bad blocks if possible.NeilBrown1-2/+31
When a write error is detected, don't mark the device as failed immediately but rather record the fact for handle_stripe to deal with. Handle_stripe then attempts to record a bad block. Only if that fails does the device get marked as faulty. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md/raid5: use bad-block log to improve handling of uncorrectable read errors.NeilBrown1-7/+52
If we get an uncorrectable read error - record a bad block rather than failing the device. And if these errors (which may be due to known bad blocks) cause recovery to be impossible, record a bad block on the recovering devices, or abort the recovery. As we might abort a recovery without failing a device we need to teach RAID5 about recovery_disabled handling. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md/raid5: avoid reading from known bad blocks.NeilBrown1-14/+32
There are two times that we might read in raid5: 1/ when a read request fits within a chunk on a single working device. In this case, if there is any bad block in the range of the read, we simply fail the cache-bypass read and perform the read though the stripe cache. 2/ when reading into the stripe cache. In this case we mark as failed any device which has a bad block in that strip (1 page wide). Note that we will both avoid reading and avoid writing. This is correct (as we will never read from the block, there is no point writing), but not optimal (as writing could 'fix' the error) - that will be addressed later. If we have not seen any write errors on the device yet, we treat a bad block like a recent read error. This will encourage an attempt to fix the read error which will either generate a write error, or will ensure good data is stored there. We don't yet forget the bad block in that case. That comes later. Now that we honour bad blocks when reading we can allow devices with bad blocks into the array. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.NeilBrown1-0/+4
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been 'acknowledged'. If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement. We support that using rdev->blocked wait and md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag 'BlockedBadBlock'. This flag is only advisory. It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it. It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait. This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will have minimal impact. When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it was set incorrectly (see above race). We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between externally managed and internally managed metadata. This requires that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed. Otherwise a queued write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write, and only that thread can write it. Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded. The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty *or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks. So user-space which does not understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly. User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad blocks is empty. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-07-28md: don't allow arrays to contain devices with bad blocks.NeilBrown1-0/+7
As no personality understand bad block lists yet, we must reject any device that is known to contain bad blocks. As the personalities get taught, these tests can be removed. This only applies to raid1/raid5/raid10. For linear/raid0/multipath/faulty the whole concept of bad blocks doesn't mean anything so there is no point adding the checks.

2011-07-27md/raid5: Avoid BUG caused by multiple failures.NeilBrown1-1/+5
While preparing to write a stripe we keep the parity block or blocks locked (R5_LOCKED) - towards the end of schedule_reconstruction. If the array is discovered to have failed before this write completes we can leave those blocks LOCKED, and init_stripe will notice that a free stripe still has a locked block and will complain. So clear the R5_LOCKED flag in handle_failed_stripe, and demote the 'BUG' to a 'WARN_ON'. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2011-07-27md/raid5: rearrange a test in fetch_block6.NeilBrown1-7/+5
Next patch will unite fetch_block5 and fetch_block6. First I want to make the differences a little more clear. For RAID6 if we are writing at all and there is a failed device, then we need to load or compute every block so we can do a reconstruct-write. This case isn't needed for RAID5 - we will do a read-modify-write in that case. So make that test a separate test in fetch_block6 rather than merged with two other tests. Make a similar change in fetch_block5 so the one bit that is not needed for RAID6 is clearly separate. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com>

2011-07-26md/raid5: replace sh->lock with an 'active' flag.NeilBrown1-13/+13
sh->lock is now mainly used to ensure that two threads aren't running in the locked part of handle_stripe[56] at the same time. That can more neatly be achieved with an 'active' flag which we set while running handle_stripe. If we find the flag is set, we simply requeue the stripe for later by setting STRIPE_HANDLE. For safety we take ->device_lock while examining the state of the stripe and creating a summary in 'stripe_head_state / r6_state'. This possibly isn't needed but as shared fields like ->toread, ->towrite are checked it is safer for now at least. We leave the label after the old 'unlock' called "unlock" because it will disappear in a few patches, so renaming seems pointless. This leaves the stripe 'locked' for longer as we clear STRIPE_ACTIVE later, but that is not a problem. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com>

2011-05-11md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.NeilBrown1-1/+2
The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp), records where a resync is up to. A value of 0 means the array is not known to be in-sync at all. A value of MaxSector means the array is believed to be fully in-sync. When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is increased, the array can be increased to match. This process sets resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of the array gets resynced. However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary and may be undesirable. So it would be good if the implied resync after the array is resized could be avoided. So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while resync/recovery is 'frozen'. Changing it once resync has started is not going to be useful anyway. This allows the array to be resized without a resync by: write 'frozen' to 'sync_action' write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start) write 'none' to 'resync_start' write 'idle' to 'sync_action'. Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing raid1/raid5. Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be more careful in our tests. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
