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.

When a stripe finishes construction, we write the stripe to raid in
ops_run_io normally. With log, we do a bunch of other operations before
the stripe is written to raid. Mainly write the stripe to log disk,
flush disk cache and so on. The operations are still driven by raid5d
and run in the stripe state machine. We introduce a new state for such
stripe (trapped into log). The stripe is in this state from the time it
first enters ops_run_io (finish construction) to the time it is written
to raid. Since we know the state is only for log, we bypass other
check/operation in handle_stripe.

"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
faster. From Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
condition.
- Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward

When a write to one of the devices of a RAID5/6 fails, the failure is
recorded in the metadata of the other devices 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 completed when MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set to
only be processed after the metadata update completes
- call raid_end_bio_io() on bios in that queue when the time comes.

It is possible (though unlikely) for a reshape to be
interrupted between the time that end_reshape is called
and the time when raid5_finish_reshape is called.
This can leave conf->reshape_progress set to MaxSector,
but mddev->reshape_position not.
This combination confused reshape_request() when ->reshape_backwards.
As conf->reshape_progress is so high, it seems the reshape hasn't
really begun. But assuming MaxSector is a valid address only
leads to sorrow.
So ensure reshape_position and reshape_progress both agree,
and add an extra check in reshape_request() just in case they don't.

While it generally shouldn't happen, it is not impossible for
curr_resync_completed to exceed resync_max.
This can particularly happen when reshaping RAID5 - the current
status isn't copied to curr_resync_completed promptly, so when it
is, it can exceed resync_max.
This happens when the reshape is 'frozen', resync_max is set low,
and reshape is re-enabled.
Taking a difference between two unsigned numbers is always dangerous
anyway, so add a test to behave correctly if
curr_resync_completed > resync_max

This code is calculating:
writepos, which is the furthest along address (device-space) that we
*will* be writing to
readpos, which is the earliest address that we *could* possible read
from, and
safepos, which is the earliest address in the 'old' section that we
might read from after a crash when the reshape position is
recovered from metadata.
The first is a precise calculation, so clipping at zero doesn't
make sense. As the reshape position is now guaranteed to always be
a multiple of reshape_sectors and as we already BUG_ON when
reshape_progress is zero, there is no point in this min_t() call.
The readpos and safepos are worst case - actual value depends on
precise geometry. That worst case could be negative, which is only
a problem because we are storing the value in an unsigned.
So leave the min_t() for those.

When reshaping, we work in units of the largest chunk size.
If changing from a larger to a smaller chunk size, that means we
reshape more than one stripe at a time. So the required alignment
of reshape_position needs to take into account both the old
and new chunk size.
This means that both 'here_new' and 'here_old' are calculated with
respect to the same (maximum) chunk size, so testing if they are the
same when delta_disks is zero becomes pointless.

The chunk_sectors and new_chunk_sectors fields of mddev can be changed
any time (via sysfs) that the reconfig mutex can be taken. So raid5
keeps internal copies in 'conf' which are stable except for a short
locked moment when reshape stops/starts.
So any access that does not hold reconfig_mutex should use the 'conf'
values, not the 'mddev' values.
Several don't.
This could result in corruption if new values were written at awkward
times.
Also use min() or max() rather than open-coding.

These aren't really needed when no reshape is happening,

md/raid5 only updates ->reshape_position (which is stored in
metadata and is authoritative) occasionally, but particularly
when getting closed to ->resync_max as it must be correct
when ->resync_max is reached.
When mdadm tries to stop an array which is reshaping it will:
- freeze the reshape,
- set resync_max to where the reshape has reached.
- unfreeze the reshape.
When this happens, the reshape is aborted and then restarted.
The restart doesn't check that resync_max is close, and so doesn't
update ->reshape_position like it should.
This results in the reshape stopping, but ->reshape_position being
incorrect.
So on that first call to reshape_request, make sure ->reshape_position
is updated if needed.

If a read request fits entirely in a chunk, it will be passed directly to the
underlying device (providing it hasn't failed of course). If it doesn't fit,
the slightly less efficient path that uses the stripe_cache is used.
Requests that get to the stripe cache are always completely split up as
necessary.
So with RAID5, ripping out the merge_bvec_fn doesn't cause it to stop work,
but could cause it to take the less efficient path more often.
All that is needed to manage this is for 'chunk_aligned_read' do some bio
splitting, much like the RAID0 code does.

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.

Cache size can grow or shrink due to various pressures at
any time. So when we resize the cache as part of a 'grow'
operation (i.e. change the size to allow more devices) we need
to blocks that automatic growing/shrinking.
So introduce a mutex. auto grow/shrink uses mutex_trylock()
and just doesn't bother if there is a blockage.
Resizing the whole cache holds the mutex to ensure that
the correct number of new stripes is allocated.
This bug can result in some stripes not being freed when an
array is stopped. This leads to the kmem_cache not being
freed and a subsequent array can try to use the same kmem_cache
and get confused.

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe() with fsmark
multiple thread write workloads.
Here is how this hot contention comes from. We have limited stripes, and
it's a multiple thread write workload. Hence, those stripes will be taken
soon, which puts later processes to sleep for waiting free stripes. When
enough stripes(>= 1/4 total stripes) are released, all process are woken,
trying to get the lock. But there is one only being able to get this lock
for each hash lock, making other processes spinning out there for acquiring
the lock.
Thus, it's effectiveless to wakeup all processes and let them battle for
a lock that permits one to access only each time. Instead, we could make
it be a exclusive wake up: wake up one process only. That avoids the heavy
spin lock contention naturally.
To do the exclusive wake up, we've to split wait_for_stripe into multiple
wait queues, to make it per hash value, just like the hash lock.
Here are some test results I have got with this patch applied(all test run

1x: where 'x' means iterations or loop, corresponding to the 'L' option of fsmark
1t, 64t: where 't' means thread
4M: means the single file size, corresponding to the '-s' option of fsmark
40G, 30G, 120G: means the total test size
4BRD_12G: BRD is the ramdisk, where '4' means 4 ramdisk, and where '12G' means
the size of one ramdisk. So, it would be 48G in total. And we made a
raid on those ramdisk
As you can see, though there are no much performance gain for hard disk
workload, the system time is dropped heavily, up to 97%. And as expected,
the performance increased a lot, up to 260%, for fast device(ram disk).

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe(), introduced
at being wake up stage, where a bunch of processes try to re-hold the
spin lock again.
After giving some thoughts on this issue, I found the lock could be
relieved(and even avoided) if we turn the wait_for_stripe to per
waitqueue for each lock hash and make the wake up exclusive: wake up
one process each time, which avoids the lock contention naturally.
Before go hacking with wait_for_stripe, I found it actually has 2
usages: for the array to enter or leave the quiescent state, and also
to wait for an available stripe in each of the hash lists.
So this patch splits the first usage off into a separate wait_queue,
wait_for_quiescent, and the next patch will turn the second usage into
one waitqueue for each hash value, and make it exclusive, to relieve
the lock contention.
v2: wake_up(wait_for_quiescent) when (active_stripes == 0)

MD_RECOVERY_DONE is normally cleared by md_check_recovery after a
resync etc finished. However it is possible for raid5_start_reshape
to race and start a reshape before MD_RECOVERY_DONE is cleared. This
can lean to multiple reshapes running at the same time, which isn't
good.
To make sure it is cleared before starting a reshape, and also clear
it when reaping a thread, just to be safe.

Now that the code in break_stripe_batch_list() is nearly identical
to the end of handle_stripe_clean_event, replace the later
with a function call.
The only remaining difference of any interest is the masking that is
applieds to dev[i].flags copied from head_sh.
R5_WriteError certainly isn't wanted as it is set per-stripe, not
per-patch. R5_Overlap isn't wanted as it is explicitly handled.

When a batch of stripes is broken up, we keep some of the flags
that were per-stripe, and copy other flags from the head to all
others.
This only happens while a stripe is being handled, so many of the
flags are irrelevant.
The "SYNC_FLAGS" (which I've renamed to make it clear there are
several) and STRIPE_DEGRADED are set per-stripe and so need to be
preserved. STRIPE_INSYNC is the only flag that is set on the head
that needs to be propagated to all others.
For safety, add a WARN_ON if others are set, except:
STRIPE_HANDLE - this is safe and per-stripe and we are going to set
in several cases anyway
STRIPE_INSYNC
STRIPE_IO_STARTED - this is just a hint and doesn't hurt.
STRIPE_ON_PLUG_LIST
STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST - It is a point pointless for a batched
stripe to be on one of these lists, but it can happen
as can be safely ignored.

When we break a stripe_batch_list we sometimes want to set
STRIPE_HANDLE on the individual stripes, and sometimes not.
So pass a 'handle_flags' arg. If it is zero, always set STRIPE_HANDLE
(on non-head stripes). If not zero, only set it if any of the given
flags are present.

break_stripe_batch list didn't clear head_sh->batch_head.
This was probably a bug.
Also clear all R5_Overlap flags and if any were cleared, wake up
'wait_for_overlap'.
This isn't always necessary but the worst effect is a little
extra checking for code that is waiting on wait_for_overlap.
Also, don't use wake_up_nr() because that does the wrong thing
if 'nr' is zero, and it number of flags cleared doesn't
strongly correlate with the number of threads to wake.

handle_stripe_clean_event() contains a chunk of code very
similar to check_break_stripe_batch_list().
If we make the latter more like the former, we can end up
with just one copy of this code.
This first step removed the condition (and the 'check_') part
of the name. This has the added advantage of making it clear
what check is being performed at the point where the function is
called.

If a stripe is a member of a batch, but not the head, it must
not be handled separately from the rest of the batch.
'clear_batch_ready()' handles this requirement to some
extent but not completely. If a member is passed to handle_stripe()
a second time it returns '0' indicating the stripe can be handled,
which is wrong.
So add an extra test.

When we add a write to a stripe we need to make sure the bitmap
bit is set. While doing that the stripe is not locked so it could
be added to a batch after which further changes to STRIPE_BIT_DELAY
and ->bm_seq are ineffective.
So we need to hold off adding to a stripe until bitmap_startwrite has
completed at least once, and we need to avoid further changes to
STRIPE_BIT_DELAY once the stripe has been added to a batch.
If a bitmap_startwrite() completes after the stripe was added to a
batch, it will not have set the bit, only incremented a counter, so no
extra delay of the stripe is needed.

There is no need for special handling of stripe-batches when the array
is degraded.
There may be if there is a failure in the batch, but STRIPE_DEGRADED
does not imply an error.
So don't set STRIPE_BATCH_ERR in ops_run_io just because the array is
degraded.
This actually causes a bug: the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag gets cleared in
check_break_stripe_batch_list() and so the bitmap bit gets cleared
when it shouldn't.
So in check_break_stripe_batch_list(), split the batch up completely -
again STRIPE_DEGRADED isn't meaningful.
Also don't set STRIPE_BATCH_ERR when there is a write error to a
replacement device. This simply removes the replacement device and
requires no extra handling.

As the new 'scribble' array is sized based on chunk size,
we need to make sure the size matches the largest of 'old'
and 'new' chunk sizes when the array is undergoing reshape.
We also potentially need to resize it even when not resizing
the stripe cache, as chunk size can change without changing
number of devices.
So move the 'resize' code into a separate function, and
consider old and new sizes when allocating.

If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return
-ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway.
This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed
to be larger than they are, and badness results.
So only update pool_size if there is no error.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.17 and the patch is suitable for
-stable.

It is not incorrect to call handle_stripe_fill() when
a batch of full-stripe writes is active.
It is, however, a BUG if fetch_block() then decides
it needs to actually fetch anything.
So move the 'BUG_ON' to where it belongs.
