* [PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspendRafael J. Wysocki2006-11-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this file for saving the swsusp's suspend image. Also, this file should be available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before the suspend image is created. For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

* [PATCH] md: simplify checking of available size when resizing an arrayNeilBrown2006-10-281-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When "mdadm --grow --size=xxx" is used to resize an array (use more or less of each device), we check the new siza against the available space in each device. We already have that number recorded in rdev->size, so calculating it is pointless (and wrong in one obscure case).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time we needed to fixed limit to the number of md devices, probably because we preallocated some array. This need no longer exists, but we still have an arbitrary limit. So remove MAX_MD_DEVS and allow as many devices as we can fit into the 'minor' part of a device number. Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

* [PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specificNeilBrown2006-10-031-16/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array is read and consistancies are reported. This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs that a resync is being started. This understandably confuses/worries people. Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a check. This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

* [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements2006-10-031-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

MD_CHANGE_CLEAN The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back, requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly not on spares MD_CHANGE_PENDING A superblock update is underway.

* [PATCH] md: avoid backward event updates in md superblock when degraded.NeilBrown2006-08-271-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we - shut down a clean array, - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing - make some changes - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean', the event count on the superblock of included drives will be the same as that of the removed drives. So adding the removed drive back in will cause it to be included with no resync. To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case where updating-backwards is valuable.

* [PATCH] md: fix resync speed calculation for restarted resyncsNeilBrown2006-07-101-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync. However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current 'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors, not just io sectors. So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

[unused on non-lockdep] - a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal function for the main blkdev_put*() functions.

To accomodate this, a transition from dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter if nothing else has changed. The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what they want to do.

It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e. if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the interim, then the add should not require a resync. This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still be added without causing a resync.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be called in interrupt context. This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to be called from user-context. Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

* [PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollableNeilBrown2006-04-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
