* [PATCH] md: Fix bug that stops raid5 resync from happeningNeilBrown2006-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | As data_disks is *less* than raid_disks, the current test here is obviously wrong. And as the difference is already available in conf->max_degraded, it makes much more sense to use that.

* [PATCH] md: allow checkpoint of recovery with version-1 superblockNeilBrown2006-06-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For a while we have had checkpointing of resync. The version-1 superblock allows recovery to be checkpointed as well, and this patch implements that. Due to early carelessness we need to add a feature flag to signal that the recovery_offset field is in use, otherwise older kernels would assume that a partially recovered array is in fact fully recovered.

* [PATCH] md: merge raid5 and raid6 codeNeilBrown2006-06-261-71/+988
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c. This patches merges both into one module called raid456. This saves a lot of code, and paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations. There is still duplication, e.g. between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6. This will probably be cleaned up later.

* [PATCH] md: Remove bi_end_io call out from under a spinlockNeilBrown2006-03-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | raid5 overloads bi_phys_segments to count the number of blocks that the request was broken in to so that it knows when the bio is completely handled. Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock. In one case we also call bi_end_io under that spinlock, which probably isn't ideal as bi_end_io could be expensive (even though it isn't allowed to sleep). So we reducde the range of the spinlock to just accessing bi_phys_segments.

* [PATCH] md: Support suspending of IO to regions of an md arrayNeilBrown2006-03-271-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows user-space to access data safely. This is needed for raid5 reshape as user-space needs to take a backup of the first few stripes before allowing reshape to commence. It will also be useful in cluster-aware raid1 configurations so that all cluster members can leave a section of the array untouched while a resync/recovery happens. A 'start' and 'end' of the suspended range are written to 2 sysfs attributes. Note that only one range can be suspended at a time.

* [PATCH] md: Checkpoint and allow restart of raid5 reshapeNeilBrown2006-03-271-20/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices. When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect. When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let user-space worry about it.

* [PATCH] md: Core of raid5 resize processNeilBrown2006-03-271-22/+163
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process. sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly. It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING. Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to read all blocks on those stripes. Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then is written out and released.

* [PATCH] md: Infrastructure to allow normal IO to continue while array is ↵NeilBrown2006-03-271-30/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | expanding We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again. Key elements in this change are: - each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key, thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests. - conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been expanded yet or not.

* [PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an arrayNeilBrown2006-03-271-4/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache data structure. This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds, we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache. We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again. Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short period of time, we have two kmem_caches.

* [PATCH] md: Split disks array out of raid5 conf structure so it is easier to ↵NeilBrown2006-03-271-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | grow The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6). The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence. You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth. This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart, mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue. I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more polishing. This patch: Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf' structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier to grow.

* [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown2006-01-061-5/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

For the first two, get an rcu_readlock. For the last, the same access (md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set. So just use that access... However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the same information. So use that instead.

* [PATCH] md: better handling of readerrors with raid5.NeilBrown2005-11-091-5/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error. Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and conitnues. Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block, and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the array.

| | | | | | | | | | Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] md: add write-intent-bitmap support to raid5NeilBrown2005-09-091-10/+123
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have been flushed. To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented each time the raid5 is unplugged. If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes, and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write. When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq number. We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

* [PATCH] md: fix deadlock due to md thread processing delayed requests.NeilBrown2005-06-211-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated. This is best done by the md_thread. The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later handling by the md_thread. However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread tries to submit requests to its own array. So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself. This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6 Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_requestNeilBrown2005-06-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.
