And propagate the error up the stack so we can add the stripe

blocking raid5d due to reclaim, an it allows to get rid of the

Add support for journal disk hot add/remove. Mostly trival checks in md
part. The raid5 part is a little tricky. For hot-remove, we can't wait
pending write as it's called from raid5d. The wait will cause deadlock.
We simplily fail the hot-remove. A hot-remove retry can success
eventually since if journal disk is faulty all pending write will be
failed and finish. For hot-add, since an array supporting journal but
without journal disk will be marked read-only, we are safe to hot add
journal without stopping IO (should be read IO, while journal only
handles write IO).

There is no good reason to keep the I/O unit structures around after the
stripe has been written back to the RAID array. The only information
we need is the log sequence number, and the checkpoint offset of the
highest successfull writeback. Store those in the log structure, and
free the IO units from __r5l_stripe_write_finished.
Besides simplifying the code this also avoid having to keep the allocation
for the I/O unit around for a potentially long time as superblock updates
that checkpoint the log do not happen very often.
This also fixes the previously incorrect calculation of 'free' in
r5l_do_reclaim as a side effect: previous if took the last unit which
isn't checkpointed into account.

There is a case a stripe gets delayed forever.
1. a stripe finishes construction
2. a new bio hits the stripe
3. handle_stripe runs for the stripe. The stripe gets DELAYED bit set
since construction can't run for new bio (the stripe is locked since
step 1)
Without log, handle_stripe will call ops_run_io. After IO finishes, the
stripe gets unlocked and the stripe will restart and run construction
for the new bio. With log, ops_run_io need to run two times. If the
DELAYED bit set, the stripe can't enter into the handle_list, so the
second ops_run_io doesn't run, which leaves the stripe stalled.

Before we write stripe data to raid disks, we must guarantee stripe data
is settled down in log disk. To do this, we flush log disk cache and

and impact performance. This patch moves the log disk cache flush
process to the stripe handling state machine, which can remove the wait

This is the log recovery support. The process is quite straightforward.
We scan the log and read all valid meta/data/parity into memory. If a
stripe's data/parity checksum is correct, the stripe will be recoveried.
Otherwise, it's discarded and we don't scan the log further. The reclaim
process guarantees stripe which starts to be flushed raid disks has
completed data/parity and has correct checksum. To recovery a stripe, we
just copy its data/parity to corresponding raid disks.
The trick thing is superblock update after recovery. we can't let
superblock point to last valid meta block. The log might look like:
| meta 1| meta 2| meta 3|
meta 1 is valid, meta 2 is invalid. meta 3 could be valid. If superblock
points to meta 1, we write a new valid meta 2n. If crash happens again,
new recovery will start from meta 1. Since meta 2n is valid, recovery
will think meta 3 is valid, which is wrong. The solution is we create a
new meta in meta2 with its seq == meta 1's seq + 10 and let superblock
points to meta2. recovery will not think meta 3 is a valid meta,
because its seq is wrong

This is the reclaim support for raid5 log. A stripe write will have
following steps:
1. reconstruct the stripe, read data/calculate parity. ops_run_io
prepares to write data/parity to raid disks
2. hijack ops_run_io. stripe data/parity is appending to log disk
3. flush log disk cache
4. ops_run_io run again and do normal operation. stripe data/parity is
written in raid array disks. raid core can return io to upper layer.
5. flush cache of all raid array disks
6. update super block
7. log disk space used by the stripe can be reused
In practice, several stripes consist of an io_unit and we will batch
several io_unit in different steps, but the whole process doesn't
change.
It's possible io return just after data/parity hit log disk, but then
read IO will need read from log disk. For simplicity, IO return happens
at step 4, where read IO can directly read from raid disks.
Currently reclaim run if there is specific reclaimable space (1/4 disk
size or 10G) or we are out of space. Reclaim is just to free log disk
spaces, it doesn't impact data consistency. The size based force reclaim
is to make sure log isn't too big, so recovery doesn't scan log too
much.
Recovery make sure raid disks and log disk have the same data of a
stripe. If crash happens before 4, recovery might/might not recovery
stripe's data/parity depending on if data/parity and its checksum
matches. In either case, this doesn't change the syntax of an IO write.
After step 3, stripe is guaranteed recoverable, because stripe's
data/parity is persistent in log disk. In some cases, log disk content
and raid disks content of a stripe are the same, but recovery will still
copy log disk content to raid disks, this doesn't impact data
consistency. space reuse happens after superblock update and cache
flush.
There is one situation we want to avoid. A broken meta in the middle of
a log causes recovery can't find meta at the head of log. If operations
require meta at the head persistent in log, we must make sure meta
before it persistent in log too. The case is stripe data/parity is in
log and we start write stripe to raid disks (before step 4). stripe
data/parity must be persistent in log before we do the write to raid
disks. The solution is we restrictly maintain io_unit list order. In
this case, we only write stripes of an io_unit to raid disks till the
io_unit is the first one whose data/parity is in log.
The io_unit list order is important for other cases too. For example,
some io_unit are reclaimable and others not. They can be mixed in the
list, we shouldn't reuse space of an unreclaimable io_unit.

This introduces a simple log for raid5. Data/parity writing to raid
array first writes to the log, then write to raid array disks. If
crash happens, we can recovery data from the log. This can speed up
raid resync and fix write hole issue.
The log structure is pretty simple. Data/meta data is stored in block
unit, which is 4k generally. It has only one type of meta data block.
The meta data block can track 3 types of data, stripe data, stripe
parity and flush block. MD superblock will point to the last valid
meta data block. Each meta data block has checksum/seq number, so
recovery can scan the log correctly. We store a checksum of stripe
data/parity to the metadata block, so meta data and stripe data/parity
can be written to log disk together. otherwise, meta data write must
wait till stripe data/parity is finished.
For stripe data, meta data block will record stripe data sector and
size. Currently the size is always 4k. This meta data record can be made
simpler if we just fix write hole (eg, we can record data of a stripe's
different disks together), but this format can be extended to support
caching in the future, which must record data address/size.
For stripe parity, meta data block will record stripe sector. It's
size should be 4k (for raid5) or 8k (for raid6). We always store p
parity first. This format should work for caching too.
flush block indicates a stripe is in raid array disks. Fixing write
hole doesn't need this type of meta data, it's for caching extension.
