The difference between these two methods is artificial.
Both check that a pending reshape is valid, and perform any
aspect of it that can be done immediately.
'reconfig' handles chunk size and layout.
'check_reshape' handles raid_disks.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to
"oversee" a resync/reshape process. For example when doing an
in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each
section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide
safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure).
The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from
advancing beyond a particular point.
So user-space can:
suspend IO to the first section and back it up
set 'sync_max' to the end of the section
wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point
resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section.
However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in
lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays.
It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with
userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the
'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished.
One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only
guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max.
(it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely
on that). This defeats some of the double buffering.
With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as
the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for
userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates.
To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync
position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed
and the value of sync_max. This will usually be a good time for user
space to update sync_max.
If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed
(together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an
exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast
(one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max
and stops. So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an
insignificant period of time.

The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.
We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).
So:
- make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
- report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
- allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.
This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
We currently update the metadata :
1/ every 3Megabytes
2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in
the metadata as still containing old-layout data.
Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the
face of a crash/restart. So it should really be time based rather
than size based. So change it to "every 10 seconds".
Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array
'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every
stripe.
For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if
some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred
stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the
constant metadata update is pointless.
So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the
end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently
writing 'new-layout' data.

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.

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.

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.

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

In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old.

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.
