Currently we don't abort recovery on a write error if the write error
to the recovering device was triggerd by normal IO (as opposed to
recovery IO).
This means that for one bitmap region, the recovery might write to the
recovering device for a few sectors, then not bother for subsequent
sectors (as it never writes to failed devices). In this case
the bitmap bit will be cleared, but it really shouldn't.
The result is that if the recovering device fails and is then re-added
(after fixing whatever hardware problem triggerred the failure),
the second recovery won't redo the region it was in the middle of,
so some of the device will not be recovered properly.
If we abort the recovery, the region being processes will be cancelled
(bit not cleared) and the whole region will be retried.
As the bug can result in data corruption the patch is suitable for
-stable. For kernels prior to 3.11 there is a conflict in raid10.c
which will require care.

fails.
When performing a user-request check/repair (MD_RECOVERY_REQUEST is set)
on a raid1, we allocate multiple bios each with their own set of pages.
If the page allocations for one bio fails, we currently do *not* free
the pages allocated for the previous bios, nor do we free the bio itself.
This patch frees all the already-allocate pages, and makes sure that
all the bios are freed as well.
This bug can cause a memory leak which can ultimately OOM a machine.
It was introduced in 3.10-rc1.

commit 30bc9b53878a9921b02e3b5bc4283ac1c6de102a
md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()
Move the bio_reset() to a point before where BIO_UPTODATE is checked,
so that check now always report that the bio is uptodate, even if it is not.
This causes process_check() to sometimes treat read-errors as
successful matches so the good data isn't written out.
This patch preserves the flag until it is needed.
Bug was introduced in 3.11, but backported to 3.10-stable (as it fixed
an even worse bug). So suitable for any -stable since 3.10.

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.

The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes
and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before
the current resync point in either next_window_requests or
current_window_requests.
It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window.
allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the
*_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set.
However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a
slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set
from the return value of this function).
So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this
leads to the resync hanging.
So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the
same cases that it increments *_window_requests.
But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.

There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

when reconfiguring the array.
We used to use raise_barrier to suspend normal IO while we reconfigure
the array. However raise_barrier will soon only suspend some normal
IO, not all. So we need something else.
Change it to use freeze_array.
But freeze_array not only suspends normal io, it also suspends
resync io.
For the place where call raise_barrier for reconfigure, it isn't a
problem.

Because the following patch will rewrite the content between normal IO
and resync IO. So we used a parameter to indicate whether raid is in freeze

commit 7ceb17e87bde79d285a8b988cfed9eaeebe60b86
md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
spares are activated on a read-only array. In case of raid1 and raid10
personalities it causes that not-in-sync devices are marked in-sync
without checking if recovery has been finished.
If a read-only array is degraded and one of its devices is not in-sync
(because the array has been only partially recovered) recovery will be skipped.
This patch adds checking if recovery has been finished before marking a device
in-sync for raid1 and raid10 personalities. In case of raid5 personality
such condition is already present (at raid5.c:6029).
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about
bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

__bio_for_each_segment() iterates bvecs from the specified index
instead of bio->bv_idx. Currently, the only usage is to walk all the
bvecs after the bio has been advanced by specifying 0 index.
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.

In SSD/hard disk hybid storage, discard request should be ignored for hard
disk. We used to be doing this way, but the unplug path forgets it.

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.

Set mddev queue's max_write_same_sectors to its chunk_sector value (before
disk_stack_limits merges the underlying disk limits.) With that in place,
be sure to handle writes coming down from the block layer that have the
REQ_WRITE_SAME flag set. That flag needs to be copied into any newly cloned
write bio.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:
- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."

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.

If the raid1 or raid10 unplug function gets called
from a make_request function (which is very possible) when
there are bios on the current->bio_list list, then it will not
be able to successfully call bitmap_unplug() and it could
need to submit more bios and wait for them to complete.
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.
RAID1 version of bug was introduced in 3.6, so that part of fix is
suitable for 3.6.y. RAID10 part won't apply.

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.
Though this doesn't lead directly to data corruption, it could lead to
reduced data safety.
So use mddev->raid_disks, which is initialised, instead.

When we get a read error, we arrange for raid1d to handle it.
Currently we release the reference on the device. This can result
in
conf->mirrors[read_disk].rdev
being NULL in fix_read_error, if the device happens to get removed
before the read error is handled.
So instead keep the reference until the read error has been fully
handled.

queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the
one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request
rates.
So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug.
If a 'schedule' is needed, we fall back on the old approach of handing
the requests to the thread for it to handle.

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.

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.

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.

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.
