In new barrier codes, raise_barrier waits if conf->nr_pending[idx] is not zero.
After all the conditions are true, the resync request can go on be handled. But
it adds conf->nr_pending[idx] again. The next resync request hit the same bucket
idx need to wait the resync request which is submitted before. The performance
of resync/recovery is degraded.
So we should use a new variable to count sync requests which are in flight.
I did a simple test:
1. Without the patch, create a raid1 with two disks. The resync speed:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0.00 0.00 166.00 0.00 10.38 0.00 128.00 0.03 0.20 0.20 0.00 0.19 3.20

2. With the patch, the result is:
sdb 2214.00 0.00 766.00 0.00 185.69 0.00 496.46 2.80 3.66 3.66 0.00 1.03 79.10

handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().
Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio(). It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().
As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock. All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool. Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.

raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for
two different reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a
resync accounting region.
Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle
the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not
use multiple r1bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and
queue the remainder for later handling.
This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just
a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to
lower-level devices for each bio that comes from
generic_make_request().
When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will
do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple
times.
raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle,
so we can remove that branch from the 'if'.
This patch also creates a new private bio_set
(conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set
is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not
block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks
under high memory pressure.

fix_sync_read_error() modifies a bio on a newly faulty
device by setting bi_end_io to end_sync_write.
This ensure that put_buf() will still call rdev_dec_pending()
as required, but makes sure that subsequent code in
fix_sync_read_error() doesn't try to read from the device.
Unfortunately this interacts badly with sync_request_write()
which assumes that any bio with bi_end_io set to non-NULL
other than end_sync_read is safe to write to.
As the device is now faulty it doesn't make sense to write.
As the bio was recently used for a read, it is "dirty"
and not suitable for immediate submission.
In particular, ->bi_next might be non-NULL, which will cause
generic_make_request() to complain.
Break this interaction by refusing to write to devices
which are marked as Faulty.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:
1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current->bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current->bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer
If raise_barrier happens between 3 & 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.
The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:
if (need to split) {
split = bio_split(bio, ...)
bio_chain(...)
make_request_fn(split);
generic_make_request(bio);
} else
make_request_fn(mddev, bio);
This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices. These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first. Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"
Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current->bio_list.

Commit fd76863 (RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync
window) introduces a user-after-free bug.
Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).

'Commit 79ef3a8aa1 ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.
Changelog
V4:
- Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code.
- Fix many typos in patch comments.
- Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS.
V3:
- Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code.
- Many fixes by review comments from Neil,
- Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf
- Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf
- Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of
BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided.
- Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and
get_all_queued()
- Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024
- Change code comments format by review from Shaohua.
V2:
- Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit
bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and
Neil.
- Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible
confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from
Shaohua.
- Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to
control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua.
- In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are
allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves
the memory space into struct r1conf, like this,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
+ int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR];
This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua.
- Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing.
- Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't

Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.
So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()

When writing to a fastfail device we use MD_FASTFAIL unless
it is the only device being written to.
For resync/recovery, assume there was a working device to
read from so always use REQ_FASTFAIL_DEV.
If a write for resync/recovery fails, we just fail the
device - there is not much else to do.
If a normal failfast write fails, but the device cannot be
failed (must be only one left), we queue for write error
handling. This will call narrow_write_error() to retry the
write synchronously and without any FAILFAST flags.

If a device is marked FailFast and it is not the only device

If this does fail, we don't try read repair but just allow
failure. If it was the last device it doesn't fail of
course, so the retry happens on the same device - this time
without FAILFAST. A subsequent failure will not retry but
will just pass up the error.
During resync we may use FAILFAST requests and on a failure
we will simply use the other device(s).
During recovery we will only use FAILFAST in the unusual
case were there are multiple places to read from - i.e. if
there are > 2 devices. If we get a failure we will fail the
device and complete the resync/recovery with remaining
devices.
The new R1BIO_FailFast flag is set on read reqest to suggest
the a FAILFAST request might be acceptable. The rdev needs
to have FailFast set as well for the read to actually use
REQ_FAILFAST_*.
We need to know there are at least two working devices
before we can set R1BIO_FailFast, so we mustn't stop looking
at the first device we find. So the "min_pending == 0"
handling to not exit early, but too always choose the
best_pending_disk if min_pending == 0.

The block tracing infrastructure (accessed with blktrace/blkparse)
supports the tracing of mapping bios from one device to another.
This is currently used when a bio in a partition is mapped to the
whole device, when bios are mapped by dm, and for mapping in md/raid5.
Other md personalities do not include this tracing yet, so add it.
When a read-error is detected we redirect the request to a different device.
This could justifiably be seen as a new mapping for the originial bio,
or a secondary mapping for the bio that errors. This patch uses
the second option.
When md is used under dm-raid, the mappings are not traced as we do
not have access to the block device number of the parent.

While performing a resync/recovery, raid1 divides the
array space into three regions:
- before the resync
- at or shortly after the resync point
- much further ahead of the resync point.
Write requests to the first or third do not need to wait. Write
requests to the middle region do need to wait if resync requests are
pending.
If there are any active write requests in the middle region, resync
will wait for them.
Due to an accounting error, there is a small range of addresses,
between conf->next_resync and conf->start_next_window, where write
requests will *not* be blocked, but *will* be counted in the middle
region. This can effectively block resync indefinitely if filesystem
writes happen repeatedly to this region.
As ->next_window_requests is incremented when the sector is after
conf->start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
the same boundary should be used for determining when write requests
should wait.

When writing to an array with a bitmap enabled, the writes are grouped
in batches which are preceded by an update to the bitmap.
It is quite likely if that a drive develops a problem which is not
media related, that the bitmap write will be the first to report an
error and cause the device to be marked faulty (as the bitmap write is
at the start of a batch).
In this case, there is point submiting the subsequent writes to the
failed device - that just wastes times.
So re-check the Faulty state of a device before submitting a
delayed write.
This requires that we keep the 'rdev', rather than the 'bdev' in the
bio, then swap in the bdev just before final submission.

If a write error occurs, raid1 will try to rewrite the bio in small
chunk size. If the rewrite fails, raid1 will record the error in bad
block. narrow_write_error will always use WRITE for the bio, but
actually it could be a discard. Since discard bio hasn't payload, write
the bio will cause different issues. But discard error isn't fatal, we
can safely ignore it. This is what this patch does.
This issue should exist since discard is added, but only exposed with
recent arbitrary bio size feature.

Every time a device is removed with ->hot_remove_disk() a synchronize_rcu() call is made
which can delay several milliseconds in some case.
If lots of devices fail at once - as could happen with a large RAID10 where one set
of devices are removed all at once - these delays can add up to be very inconcenient.
As failure is not reversible we can check for that first, setting a
separate flag if it is found, and then all synchronize_rcu() once for
all the flagged devices. Then ->hot_remove_disk() function can skip the
synchronize_rcu() step if the flag is set.

Re-checking the faulty flag here brings no value.
The comment about "risk" refers to the risk that the device could
be in the process of being removed by ->hot_remove_disk().
However providing that the ->nr_pending count is incremented inside
an rcu_read_locked() region, there is no risk of that happening.
This is because the rdev pointer (in the personalities array) is set
to NULL before synchronize_rcu(), and ->nr_pending is tested
afterwards. If the rcu_read_locked region happens before the
synchronize_rcu(), the test will see that nr_pending has been incremented.
If it happens afterwards, the rdev pointer will be NULL so there is nothing
to increment.

A performance drop of mkfs has been observed on RAID10 during resync
since commit 09314799e4 ("md: remove 'go_faster' option from

IOs significantly (few times). Add a short delay to a resync. The
previous long sleep (1s) has proven unnecessary, even very short delay

3. waiting for MD_CHANGE_PENDING to be cleared
If the first two are done without locking, the code in md_update_sb()

If raid1d is handling a mix of read and write errors, handle_read_error's
call to freeze_array can get stuck.
This can happen because, though the bio_end_io_list is initially drained,
writes can be added to it via handle_write_finished as the retry_list
is processed. These writes contribute to nr_pending but are not included
in nr_queued.
If a later entry on the retry_list triggers a call to handle_read_error,
freeze array hangs waiting for nr_pending == nr_queued+extra. The writes
on the bio_end_io_list aren't included in nr_queued so the condition will
never be satisfied.
To prevent the hang, include bio_end_io_list writes in nr_queued.
There's probably a better way to handle decrementing nr_queued, but this
seemed like the safest way to avoid breaking surrounding code.
I'm happy to supply the script I used to repro this hang.

1/ the clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly

2/ The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from
Facebook makes an appearance. With a journal
device configured (typically NVRAM or SSD), the
"RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash
during degraded operations cannot result in data
corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a
write-behind cache so that latency can be reduced
and in some cases throughput increased by
performing more full-stripe writes.

degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
increased by performing more full-stripe writes.

To incorporate --grow feature executed on one node, other nodes need to
acknowledge the change in number of disks. Call update_raid_disks()
to update internal data structures.
This leads to call check_reshape() -> md_allow_write() -> md_update_sb(),
this results in a deadlock. This is done so it can safely allocate memory
(which might trigger writeback which might write to raid1). This is
not required for md with a bitmap.
In the clustered case, we don't perform md_update_sb() in md_allow_write(),
but in do_md_run(). Also we disable safemode for clustered mode.
mddev->recovery_cp need not be set in check_sb_changes() because this
is required only when a node reads another node's bitmap. mddev->recovery_cp
(which is read from sb->resync_offset), is set only if mddev is in_sync.
Since we disabled safemode, in_sync is set to zero.
In a clustered environment, the MD may not be in sync because another
node could be writing to it. So make sure that in_sync is not set in
case of clustered node in __md_stop_writes().

When a write fails and a bad-block-list is present, we can
update the bad-block-list instead of writing the data. If
this succeeds then it is OK clear the relevant bitmap-bit as
no further 'sync' of the block is needed.
However if writing the bad-block-list fails then we need to
treat the write as failed and particularly must not clear
the bitmap bit. Otherwise the device can be re-added (after
any hardware connection issues are resolved) and because the
relevant bit in the bitmap is clear, that block will not be
resynced. This leads to data corruption.
We already delay the final bio_endio() on the write until
the bad-block-list is written so that when the write
returns: either that data is safe, the bad-block record is
safe, or the fact that the device is faulty is safe.
However we *don't* delay the clearing of the bitmap, so the
bitmap bit can be recorded as cleared before we know if the
bad-block-list was written safely.
So: delay that until the write really is safe.
i.e. move the call to close_write() until just before
calling bio_endio(), and recheck the 'is array degraded'
status before making that call.
This bug goes back to v3.1 when bad-block-lists were
introduced, though it only affects arrays created with
mdadm-3.3 or later as only those have bad-block lists.
Backports will require at least
Commit: 55ce74d4bf ("md/raid1: ensure device failure recorded before write request returns.")
as well. I'll send that to 'stable' separately.
Note that of the two tests of R1BIO_WriteError that this
patch adds, the first is certain to fail and the second is
certain to succeed. However doing it this way makes the
patch more obviously correct. I will tidy the code up in a
future merge window.

md-cluster: A better way for METADATA_UPDATED processing
The processing of METADATA_UPDATED message is too simple and prone to
errors. Besides, it would not update the internal data structures as
required.
This set of patches reads the superblock from one of the device of the MD
and checks for changes in the in-memory data structures. If there is a change,
it performs the necessary actions to keep the internal data structures
as it would be in the primary node.
An example is if a devices turns faulty. The algorithm is:
1. The initiator node marks the device as faulty and updates the superblock
2. The initiator node sends METADATA_UPDATED with an advisory device number to the rest of the nodes.
3. The receiving node on receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message
3.1 Reads the superblock
3.2 Detects a device has failed by comparing with memory structure
3.3 Calls the necessary functions to record the failure and get the device out of the active array.
3.4 Acknowledges the message.
The patch series also fixes adding the disk which was impacted because of
the changes.
Patches can also be found at
https://github.com/goldwynr/linux branch md-next
Changes since V2:
- Fix status synchrnoization after --add and --re-add operations
- Included Guoqing's patches on endian correctness, zeroing cmsg etc
- Restructure add_new_disk() and cancel()
Resync or recovery must be performed by only one node at a time.
A DLM lock resource, resync_lockres provides the mutual exclusion
so that only one node performs the recovery/resync at a time.
If a node is unable to get the resync_lockres, because recovery is
being performed by another node, it set MD_RECOVER_NEEDED so as
to schedule recovery in the future.
Remove the debug message in resync_info_update()
used during development.

md_reload_sb is too simplistic and it explicitly needs to determine
the changes made by the writing node. However, there are multiple areas
where a simple reload could fail.
Instead, read the superblock of one of the "good" rdevs and update
the necessary information:
- read the superblock into a newly allocated page, by temporarily
swapping out rdev->sb_page and calling ->load_super.
- if that fails return
- if it succeeds, call check_sb_changes
1. iterates over list of active devices and checks the matching
dev_roles[] value.
If that is 'faulty', the device must be marked as faulty
- call md_error to mark the device as faulty. Make sure
not to set CHANGE_DEVS and wakeup mddev->thread or else
it would initiate a resync process, which is the responsibility
of the "primary" node.
- clear the Blocked bit
- Call remove_and_add_spares() to hot remove the device.
If the device is 'spare':
- call remove_and_add_spares() to get the number of spares
added in this operation.
- Reduce mddev->degraded to mark the array as not degraded.
2. reset recovery_cp
- read the rest of the rdevs to update recovery_offset. If recovery_offset
is equal to MaxSector, call spare_active() to set it In_sync
This required that recovery_offset be initialized to MaxSector, as
opposed to zero so as to communicate the end of sync for a rdev.

Suspending the entire device for resync could take too long. Resync
in small chunks.
cluster's resync window (32M) is maintained in r1conf as
cluster_sync_low and cluster_sync_high and processed in
raid1's sync_request(). If the current resync is outside the cluster
resync window:
1. Set the cluster_sync_low to curr_resync_completed.
2. Check if the sync will fit in the new window, if not issue a
wait_barrier() and set cluster_sync_low to sector_nr.
3. Set cluster_sync_high to cluster_sync_low + resync_window.
4. Send a message to all nodes so they may add it in their suspension
list.
bitmap_cond_end_sync is modified to allow to force a sync inorder
to get the curr_resync_completed uptodate with the sector passed.

The commit 55ce74d4bf (md/raid1: ensure
device failure recorded before write request returns) is causing crash in
the LVM2 testsuite test shell/lvchange-raid.sh. For me the crash is 100%
reproducible.
The reason for the crash is that the newly added code in raid1d moves the
list from conf->bio_end_io_list to tmp, then tests if tmp is non-empty and
then incorrectly pops the bio from conf->bio_end_io_list (which is empty
because the list was alrady moved).
Raid-10 has a similar bug.

- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.

We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX

- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which

When a write to one of the legs of a RAID1 fails, the failure is
recorded in the metadata of the other leg(s) so that after a restart
the data on the failed drive wont be trusted even if that drive seems
to be working again (maybe a cable was unplugged).
Similarly when we record a bad-block in response to a write failure,
we must not let the write complete until the bad-block update is safe.
Currently there is no interlock between the write request completing
and the metadata update. So it is possible that the write will
complete, the app will confirm success in some way, and then the
machine will crash before the metadata update completes.
This is an extremely small hole for a racy to fit in, but it is
theoretically possible and so should be closed.
So:
- set MD_CHANGE_PENDING when requesting a metadata update for a
failed device, so we can know with certainty when it completes
- queue requests that experienced an error on a new queue which
is only processed after the metadata update completes
- call raid_end_bio_io() on bios in that queue when the time comes.

When checking sync_action in a script, we want to be sure it is
as accurate as possible.
As resync/reshape etc doesn't always start immediately (a separate
thread is scheduled to do it), it is best if 'action_show'
checks if MD_RECOVER_NEEDED is set (which it does) and in that
case reports what is likely to start soon (which it only sometimes
does).
So:
- report 'reshape' if reshape_position suggests one might start.
- set MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER in raid1_reshape(), because that is very
likely to happen next.

Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.
It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
already handle those separately.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

When we get a read error from the last working device, we don't
try to repair it, and don't fail the device. We simple report a
read error to the caller.
However the current test for 'is this the last working device' is
wrong.
When there is only one fully working device, it assumes that a
non-faulty device is that device. However a spare which is rebuilding
would be non-faulty but so not the only working device.
So change the test from "!Faulty" to "In_sync". If ->degraded says
there is only one fully working device and this device is in_sync,
this must be the one.

As we leave min_pending and best_dist unchanged, any non-write-mostly
device will appear better than the write-mostly device.

Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
was found:
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
disc.number set to slot number)
ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.
