When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data at that offset. In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before we even consider writing. But when restriping an array without changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have some data to available write before the read has happened at the same location. This would require some stripes to be in cache already. To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing, that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of being read. And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If an array has 3 or more devices, we allow the chunksize or layout to be changed and when a reshape starts, we use these as the 'new' values. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This ensures that even when old and new stripes are overlapping, we will try to read all of the old before having to write any of the new. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently underway. This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences. The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same. The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway. Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the reshape starts. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are 'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are 'after'. They are currently differentiated by having different ->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing the number of disks. However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number of disks (chunk parity or chunk size). So make the difference more explicit with a 'generation' number.

When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of the array to the beginning. md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning to the end. So largely ignore them use the internal state variable "reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next. Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6, 3 otherwise). We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before the array is reshaped to a smaller size. This is because simply reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at the ends of the devices. Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write an appropriately small size to md/array_size. When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer needed and fix up ->degraded. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the beginning. So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo differently. This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping) notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being given a large value, and handles any cleanup them. This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an explicit finish_reshape method as well. The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t structure. The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device. This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array while a reshape was happening. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This is the first of four patches which combine to allow md/raid5 to reduce the number of devices in the array by restriping the data over a subset of the devices. If the number of disks in a raid4/5/6 is being reduced, then the default size must be based on the new number, not the old number of devices. In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module (raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456 needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines. To support this move: 1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h 2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported 3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to compile Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following semantics: 1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0) a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail if size is greater than the default size b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set array size should be blocked 2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it 3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size. Resync/reshape operations always follow the default size. Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

In preparation for giving userspace control over ->array_sectors we need to be able to retrieve the 'default' size, and the 'anticipated' size when a reshape is requested. For personalities that do not reshape emit a warning if anything but the default size is requested. In the raid5 case we need to update ->previous_raid_disks to make the new 'default' size available.

2-drive raid5's aren't very interesting. But if you are converting a raid1 into a raid5, you will at least temporarily have one. And that it a good time to set the layout/chunksize for the new RAID5 if you aren't happy with the defaults. layout and chunksize don't actually affect the placement of data on a 2-drive raid5, so we just do some internal book-keeping.

Implement this for RAID6 to be able to 'takeover' a RAID5 array. The new RAID6 will use a layout which places Q on the last device, and that device will be missing. If there are any available spares, one will immediately have Q recovered onto it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some pointers around etc. The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero. However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want to replace the personality modules. So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts. Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them. There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no longer being used. The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe (as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module code).

When an md array is undergoing a change, we have new_* fields that show the new values. When no change is happening, it is least confusing if these have the same value as the normal fields. This is true in most cases, but not when the values are set via sysfs. So fix this up. A subsequent patch will BUG_ON if these things aren't consistent. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

DDF requires RAID6 calculations over different devices in a different order. For md/raid6, we calculate over just the data devices, starting immediately after the 'Q' block. For ddf/raid6 we calculate over all devices, using zeros in place of the P and Q blocks. This requires unfortunately complex loops... Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

DDF uses different layouts for P and Q blocks than current md/raid6 so add those that are missing. Also add support for RAID6 layouts that are identical to various raid5 layouts with the simple addition of one device to hold all of the 'Q' blocks. Finally add 'raid5' layouts to match raid4. These last to will allow online level conversion. Note that this does not provide correct support for DDF/raid6 yet as the order in which data blocks are summed to produce the Q block is significant and different between current md code and DDF requirements.

Code currently assumes that the devices in a raid6 stripe are 0 1 ... N-1 P Q in some rotated order. We will shortly add new layouts in which this strict pattern is broken. So remove this expectation. We still assume that the data disks are roughly in-order. However P and Q can be inserted anywhere within that order. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Rather than passing 'pd_idx' and 'disks' to these functions, just pass 'previous' which tells whether to use the 'previous' or 'current' geometry during a reshape, and let init_stripe calculate disks and pd_idx and anything else it might need. This is not a substantial simplification and even adds a division. However we will shortly be adding more complexity to init_stripe to handle more interesting 'reshape' activities, and without this change, the interface to these functions would get very complex.

This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors" and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of 1K-blocks in it. All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two. In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

When a drive is added to an array using ADD_NEW_DISK, there are two places we can get certain flags from: the metadata on the disk or the flags passed through the IOCTL. For the WriteMostly flag (aka MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY) we take the value from either of those sources depending on if it is set (i.e. we effectively 'or' the two sources together). This makes it awkward to clear, and is at best inconsistent. As documented code (in mdadm) requires that setting MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY in the ioctl will be effective, we resolve the inconsistency by always using the value for this flag from the ioctl, and ignoring the value on disk.

Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a partially completed drive recovery. However we only update that record on a clean shutdown. It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an unclean shutdown. One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones have completed. And we need to know what has completed to record how much is recovered. So occasionally pause the recovery until all submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where we are up to. When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep the bitmap up-to-date. So enhance that code to record the recovery offset and schedule a superblock update. And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to do a checkpoint. '16' is a fairly arbitrary number. But we don't really have any good way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable number for now. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
