We current initialise some fields of a bio when preparing a stripe_head, and again just before submitting the request. Remove the duplication by only setting the fields that lower level devices don't touch in raid5_build_block, and only set the changeable fields in ops_run_io.

Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be used as a 'replacement' device, replacing the original. We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head. This will only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios. For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads. In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far enough, otherwise use the original. This includes a small enhancement. Previously we would only do aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered. Now we also do them if it has recovered far enough.

hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a device to be replaced without removing it from the array first. With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason. This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10. This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device. It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via sysfs. "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced. "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another device. The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original device, not the replacement. We currently don't make links for the replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Soon an array will be able to have multiple devices with the same raid_disk number (an original and a replacement). So removing a device based on the number won't work. So pass the actual device handle instead. Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When setting the slot number on a device in an active array we currently check that the number is not already in use. We then call into the personality's hot_add_disk function which performs the same test and returns the same error. Thus the common test is not needed. As we will shortly be changing some personalities to allow duplicates in some cases (to support hot-replace), the common test will become inconvenient. So remove the common test.

For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have a 14bit counter (and some flags). This counts number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed. The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a bit. So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2. If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1. If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0. So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start with. In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or more. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

While using etags to find free_pages(), I stumbled across this debug definition of free_pages() that is to be used while debugging some raid code in userspace. The __get_free_pages() allocates the correct size, but the free_pages() does not match. free_pages(), like __get_free_pages(), takes an order and not a size. Acked-by: H.

When an array is being reshaped to change the number of devices, the two halves can be differently degraded. e.g. one could be missing a device and the other not. So we need to be more careful about calculating the 'degraded' attribute. Instead of just inc/dec at appropriate times, perform a full re-calculation examining both possible cases. This doesn't happen often so it not a big cost, and we already have most of the code to do it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

commit d0a4bb49 introduced a regression which is annoying but fairly harmless. When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the write completes. For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared. This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are: - next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will be done. - the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing. While an array is recovering we don't want to update the 'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to the recovering device. So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success' and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant. Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added. This is a false optimisation. It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a subsequent spare might be accepted. Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and reset the 'recovery_offset' value. If we abort early these might not happen properly. So remove the early abort. In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

While reshaping a degraded array (as when reshaping a RAID0 by first converting it to a degraded RAID4) we currently get confused about which devices are in_sync. In most cases we get it right, but in the region that is being reshaped we need to treat non-failed devices as in-sync when we have the data but haven't actually written it out yet.

commit d70ed2e4 broke hot-add to a linear array. After that commit, metadata if not written to devices until they have been fully integrated into the array as determined by saved_raid_disk. That patch arranged to clear that field after a recovery completed. However for linear arrays, there is no recovery - the integration is instantaneous. So we need to explicitly clear the saved_raid_disk field. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Once a device is failed we really want to completely ignore it. It should go away soon anyway. In particular the presence of bad blocks on it should not cause us to block as we won't be trying to write there anyway. So as soon as we can check if a device is Faulty, do so and pretend that it is already gone if it is Faulty. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When we mark blocks as bad we need them to be acknowledged by the metadata handler promptly. For an in-kernel metadata handler that was already being done. But for an external metadata handler we need to alert it of the change by sending a notification through the sysfs file. This adds that notification. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Once a device is marked Faulty the badblocks - whether acknowledged or not - become irrelevant. So they shouldn't cause the device to be marked as Blocked. Without this patch, a process might write "-blocked" to clear the Blocked status, but while that will correctly fail the device, it won't remove the apparent 'blocked' status.

When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which is refcounted by sysfs. And we also take the mddev_lock. However this is not enough. The final mddev_put could have been called and the mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy the kobj and mddev. In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted. To to guard against this we: - initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be easily detected. - in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to be active. This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we will get -EBUSY. rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed. However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes. In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very similar to immediately after we have finished with it. So we always preserve a newly created md device until something significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'. The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to get rid of it. We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed. However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more gradual so we should look for a more definitive change. So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs are ignored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not needed. However there are two places where we might set or clear page attributes without holding the spinlock. So add the spinlock in those cases. This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared. This is an inconvenience, not a threat to data safety. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with unpleasant consequences for NFS4. Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline: cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF' #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> main() { struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1}; if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl)) perror("setlk"); } EOF cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test then on nfs4: mount --bind file1 file2 /tmp/test < file1 # ok /tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"... What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server. The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

Rx byte count was off; instead use the hardware's count. Tx packet count was counting pre-TSO packets; instead count on-the-wire packets. Report hardware dropped frame count as rx_fifo_errors. - The count of transmitted packets reported by the forcedeth driver reports pre-TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) packet counts and not the count of the number of packets sent on the wire. This change fixes the forcedeth driver to report the correct count. Fixed the code by copying the count stored in the NIC H/W to the value reported by the driver. - Count rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors: We see a lot of rx_drop_frame errors if we disable the rx bottom-halves for too long. Normally, rx_fifo_errors would be counted in this case. The rx_drop_frame error count is private to forcedeth and is not reported by ifconfig or sysfs. The rx_fifo_errors count is currently unused in the forcedeth driver. It is reported by ifconfig as overruns. This change reports rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors.
