* md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.NeilBrown2008-05-241-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort the recovery and restart it. For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make sense. We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to and restart from there, but it is not being used properly. This is because: - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR, which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed. - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state information. The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and recovery will continue on them as desired. Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to: 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in parallel. Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as a/ this requires least code change b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

* md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.Bernd Schubert2008-05-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed (Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit. So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

* md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performanceDan Williams2008-04-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when: * a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list' * 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width write requests * 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the top two conditions are false.

* md: allow devices to be shared between md arraysNeilBrown2008-02-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot be used by other arrays. This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own partitioning concept. So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general, require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections do not overlap. This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set "->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name when we want to clear things.

* md: support 'external' metadata for md arraysNeilBrown2008-02-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be left of user-space to handle. Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata - after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute. - move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if there are any superblocks or not. - New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue. This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state attribute. - tidy up marking of sb_dirty: - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway. - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty. - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

* md: Update md bitmap during resync.NeilBrown2008-02-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated when the resync completes. This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome. However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed by bitmap_file_kick. write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more conveniently be checked. When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive calls into bitmap_file_kick. bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked. So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

* md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async read opsDan Williams2007-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a read bio is attached to the stripe and the corresponding block is marked R5_UPTODATE, then a read (biofill) operation is scheduled to copy the data from the stripe cache to the bio buffer. handle_stripe flags the blocks to be operated on with the R5_Wantfill flag. If new read requests arrive while raid5_run_ops is running they will not be handled until handle_stripe is scheduled to run again.

* md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async compute opsDan Williams2007-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the other up-to-date blocks. Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block. With the raid5_run_ops implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside the lock. To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it were up-to-date. raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready before it is used in another operation. However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent operation are scheduled at the same time. If a previous call to handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops. The req_compute variable protects against this case. Changelog: * remove the req_compute BUG_ON Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lockDan Williams2007-07-131-3/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following attack plan: 1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock) 2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy operations asynchronously, outside the lock. To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests. In this new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work, updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and calling raid5_run_ops for processing. The following flags outline the requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops: STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks STRIPE_OP_PREXOR - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache STRIPE_OP_CHECK - verify that the parity is correct STRIPE_OP_IO - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type The flow is: 1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending 2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the operation to the async_tx api 3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set sh->ops.complete and release the stripe 4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit new operations that were previously blocked Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this routine.

* raid5: refactor handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 (v3)Dan Williams2007-07-131-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the various states of a stripe_head. By introducing the 'stripe_head_state' and 'r6_state' objects, large portions of the logic can be moved to sub-routines. 'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously stood alone in handle_stripe5,6. 'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6 specific variables like p_failed and q_failed. One of the nice side effects of the 'stripe_head_state' change is that it allows for further reductions in code duplication between raid5 and raid6. The following new routines are shared between raid5 and raid6: handle_completed_write_requests handle_requests_to_failed_array handle_stripe_expansion Changes: * v2: fixed 'conf->raid_disk-1' for the raid6 'handle_stripe_expansion' path * v3: removed the unused 'dirty' field from struct stripe_head_state * v3: coalesced open coded bi_end_io routines into return_io() Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* async_tx: add the async_tx apiDan Williams2007-07-131-2/+3

It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the 'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to provide an api of the following general format: struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx, dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param) { struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>); struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL; int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ? device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL; if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */ ... tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index); ... tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index); ... async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } else { /* run <operation> synchronously */ ... <operation> ... async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } return tx; } async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will transition between a copy and a xor resource. Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines. On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30% improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55% improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s. The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048 --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5 * iop342 had 1GB of memory available Details: * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live polling wait will be performed * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available channels * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address to mirror the hardware.

* Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"Linus Torvalds2007-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5b479c91da90eef605f851508744bfe8269591a0. Quoth Neil Brown: "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't seem easy to fix. The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops. This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been assembled just seems to get more and more painful. I think I'm going to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the rest of the kernel."

* md: improve partition detection in md arrayNeilBrown2007-05-091-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions is call on md array after they are assembled. However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later than some people would like. So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the array has been assembled. This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used to trigger a partition rescan.

* [PATCH] md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handlingNeil Brown2007-02-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear the bit (when count hits zero). The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we cannot cope. Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue limits much smaller than this. However is seems that some don't. Apparently some multipath configurations can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests. So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait for the count to drop down a bit. This requires a new wait_queue_head, some waiting code, and a wakeup call. Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower in that case...).

* [PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in mdNeilBrown2007-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held, it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate. This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a write-out to the md device. For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that requires getting the mddev_lock. So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

* [PATCH] md: allow reads that have bypassed the cache to be retried on failureRaz Ben-Jehuda(caro)2006-12-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures. update 1: From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 1/ chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that data_disks == raid_disks - 1 which is not true for raid6. So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data. 2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio (to test BIO_UPTODATE). 3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting a bio for aligned-read 4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev, so we need to invalidate the segment counts. 5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes. This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried. When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to the list, not to single-bio... 2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed aligned requests.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-302-0/+6

Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

I don't believe this is a supportable approach. This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files. i.e. bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we write directly to those blocks of the device. swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous addresses. We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are non-contiguous in storage. To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and store the addresses in those buffers. With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with what is on disk. To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the pagecache when releasing the file. If the file is to be examined while the array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io must be used. And new version of mdadm will have support for this. This approach simplifies a lot of code: - we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for, as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding writes there are. This saves a mempool. - -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if they ever were actually).
