This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in

To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().

If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.
We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid10_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
handle_read_error() relies on the same r10bio being re-used so that,
in the case of a read-only array, setting IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->devs[].bio
ensures read_balance() won't re-use that device.
So when called from raid10_make_request() we clear that array, but not
when called from handle_read_error().
Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to
raid10_read_request(). If the failing rdev can be found, messages
are printed. Otherwise they aren't.
Not that as rdev_dec_pending() has already been called on the failing
rdev, we need to use rcu_read_lock() to get a new reference from
the conf. We only use this to get the name of the failing block device.
With this change, we no longer need inc_pending().

raid10 splits requests in two different ways for two different
reasons.
First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits with a chunk.
Second, multiple r10bio structures are allocated to represent the
different sections that need to go to different devices, to avoid
known bad blocks.
This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not to use
multiple r10bios.
We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can
be handled with a single r10bio, and then split the bio and queue
the remainder for later handling.
As with raid1, we allocate a new bio_set to help with the splitting.
It is not correct to use fs_bio_set in a device driver.

The introduced cost is that we need to allocate (128 + 16) * copies

Also bio_reset() in raid10_sync_request() and reshape_request()

raid10 currently repurposes bi_phys_segments on each
incoming bio to count how many r10bio was used to encode the
request.
We need to know when the number of attached r10bio reaches
zero to:
1/ call bio_endio() when all IO on the bio is finished
2/ decrement ->nr_pending so that resync IO can proceed.
Now that the bio has its own __bi_remaining counter, that
can be used instead. We can call bio_inc_remaining to
increment the counter and call bio_endio() every time an
r10bio completes, rather than only when bi_phys_segments
reaches zero.
This addresses point 1, but not point 2. bio_endio()
doesn't (and cannot) report when the last r10bio has
finished, so a different approach is needed.
So: instead of counting bios in ->nr_pending, count r10bios.
i.e. every time we attach a bio, increment nr_pending.
Every time an r10bio completes, decrement nr_pending.
Normally we only increment nr_pending after first checking
that ->barrier is zero, or some other non-trivial tests and
possible waiting. When attaching multiple r10bios to a bio,
we only need the tests and the waiting once. After the
first increment, subsequent increments can happen
unconditionally as they are really all part of the one
request.
So introduce inc_pending() which can be used when we know
that nr_pending is already elevated.
Note that this fixes a bug. freeze_array() contains the line
atomic_read(&conf->nr_pending) == conf->nr_queued+extra,
which implies that the units for ->nr_pending, ->nr_queued and extra
are the same.
->nr_queue and extra count r10_bios, but prior to this patch,
->nr_pending counted bios. If a bio ever resulted in multiple
r10_bios (due to bad blocks), freeze_array() would not work correctly.
Now it does.

When raid1 or raid10 find they will need to allocate a new

account for the allocation well before the allocation is
made. This separation makes the correctness less obvious
and requires comments.
The accounting needs to be a little before: before the first
rXbio is submitted, but that is all.
So move the accounting down to where it makes more sense.

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.

Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on

So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()

If a device is marked FailFast, and it is not the only
device we can read from, we mark the bio as MD_FAILFAST.
If this does fail-fast, we don't try read repair but just
allow failure.
If it was the last device, it doesn't get marked Faulty 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.

This can only be supported on personalities which ensure
that md_error() never causes an array to enter the 'failed'
state. i.e. if marking a device Faulty would cause some
data to be inaccessible, the device is status is left as
non-Faulty. This is true for RAID1 and RAID10.
If we get a failure writing metadata but the device doesn't
fail, it must be the last device so we re-write without
FAILFAST to improve chance of success. We also flag the
device as LastDev so that future metadata updates don't
waste time on failfast writes.

Both raid1 and raid10 will sometimes delay handling an IO request,
such as when resync is happening or there are too many requests queued.
Add some blktrace messsages so we can see when that is happening when
looking for performance artefacts.

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.

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.
