If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error,
we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever)
rather than failing the whole array.
However the codes doesn't quite do that. We attempt a readbalance
which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely.
Instead: If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just
failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.

If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.
So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.
Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.
But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.
In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...
* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().
* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.
* part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats
automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.
* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
part0 stats for parts other than part0.
* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
handling in callers unnecessary.
* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
stats show code paths.
* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()
While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing

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.

md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.
Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.
md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change
b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

between the two operations.
We forgot to reset bv_offset and bv_len however. These are often left
unchanged, but in the case where there is an IO error one or two sectors

When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while
attempting to over-write with correct data.
This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO
to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry
queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze).
However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be
required. This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to
finish that themselves need attention from raid1d.
So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and
call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.

Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.
This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.
However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.
write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.
When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.
bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.
So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.
It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.
This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then
re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at
saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether
or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of
'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the
correct check.
For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot
on --re-add rather than always the first slot.

We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle
barriers, and that can, of course, change with time....
So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,
and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.
We initially assumes barriers are OK.
When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag
things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly.
If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to
resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to
finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag.
When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but
which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this,
and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the
r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find.
We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid.
It should only happen if:
1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices
change like this, though raid1 can!
or
2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to
pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit

the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use

So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into

The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not

This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier
"Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
