| * | md: Convert remaining 1k representations in linear.c to sectors.Andre Noll2008-10-131-18/+17

Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was (sector/2) / hash_spacing. Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz and base double. Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = 2 * hash_spacing during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but spacing = hash_spacing in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than in the old code. Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next hunk stays the same. In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as (sector >> sector_shift) / spacing In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing, this equals ((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing which is the value computed by the old code.

| * | md: Allow metadata_version to be updated for externally managed metadata.NeilBrown2008-10-131-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For externally managed metadata, the 'metadata_version' sysfs attribute is really just a channel for user-space programs to communicate about how the array is being managed. It can be useful for this to be changed while the array is active. Normally changes to metadata_version are not permitted while the array is active. Change that so that if the metadata is externally managed, the metadata_version can be changed to a different flavour of external management. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* | raid: make RAID autodetect default a KConfig optionArjan van de Ven2008-10-121-0/+14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer (I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters). This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way the user can always override via the kernel command line.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-raid1 is setting the 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag unconditionally when assigning kcopyd work. kcopyd is responsible for copying an assigned section of disk to one or more other disks. The 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag affects kcopyd in the following way: When not set: kcopyd will immediately stop the copy operation when an error is encountered. When set: kcopyd will try to proceed regardless of errors and try to continue copying any remaining amount. Since dm-raid1 tracks regions of the address space that are (or are not) in sync and it now has the ability to handle these errors, we can safely enable this optimization. This optimization is conditional on whether mirror error handling has been enabled. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

* | block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo2008-10-097-25/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on entry as some callers don't do that. This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock() and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version unconverted. disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu argument to help RT. This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are very lightweight per-cpu ones.

* dm mpath: add missing path switching lockingChandra Seetharaman2008-10-011-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time. So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list. Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock and do the memalloc to start IO. When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

* Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop.NeilBrown2008-09-011-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock. The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev). However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev lock - which is already held. This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory. All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush. The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev. Then open the array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still clean. So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case where it will cause a deadlock. So remove it. This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460 and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452 though it isn't yet clear how it ever worked.

* md: cancel check/repair requests when recovery is neededDan Williams2008-08-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | If a 'repair' is requested when an array is in a position to 'recover' raid1 will perform the repair while md believes a recovery is happening. Address this at both ends, i.e. cancel check/repair requests upon detecting a recover condition and do not call ->spare_active after completing a check/repair.

* Allow raid10 resync to happening in larger chunks.NeilBrown2008-08-051-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raid10 resync/recovery code currently limits the amount of in-flight resync IO to 2Meg. This was copied from raid1 where it seems quite adequate. However for raid10, some layouts require a bit of seeking to perform a resync, and allowing a larger buffer size means that the seeking can be significantly reduced. There is probably no real need to limit the amount of in-flight IO at all. Any shortage of memory will naturally reduce the amount of buffer space available down to a set minimum, and any concurrent normal IO will quickly cause resync IO to back off. The only problem would be that normal IO has to wait for all resync IO to finish, so a very large amount of resync IO could cause unpleasant latency when normal IO starts up. So: increase RESYNC_DEPTH to allow 32Meg of buffer (if memory is available) which seems to be a good amount. Also reduce the amount of memory reserved as there is no need to keep 2Meg just for resync if memory is tight. Thanks to Keld for the suggestion.
