NeilBrown 307729c8bc md/raid1: perform bad-block tests for WriteMostly devices too.
We normally try to avoid reading from write-mostly devices, but when
we do we really have to check for bad blocks and be sure not to
try reading them.

With the current code, best_good_sectors might not get set and that
causes zero-length read requests to be send down which is very
confusing.

This bug was introduced in commit d2eb35acfd and so the patch
is suitable for 3.1.x and 3.2.x

NeilBrown f2a371c5e7 md: notify the 'degraded' sysfs attribute on failure.
We currently only 'notify' changes to the 'degraded' attribute
when it decreases, not when it increases.

Notifying on failure is a little awkward as it happen in
interrupt context.
So instead, notify when we remove the failed device from the array,
which is very soon afterwards.

NeilBrown 8f19ccb2fd md/raid1: Allocate spare to store replacement devices and their bios.
In RAID1, a replacement is much like a normal device, so we just
double the size of the relevant arrays and look at all possible
devices for reads and writes.

This means that the array looks like it is now double the size in some
way - we need to be careful about that.
In particular, we checking if the array is still degraded while
creating a recovery request we need to only consider the first 'half'
- i.e. the real (non-replacement) devices.

NeilBrown dd054fce88 md/raid5: handle activation of replacement device when recovery completes.
When recovery completes - as reported by a call to ->spare_active,
we clear In_sync on the original and set it on the replacement.

Then when the original gets removed we move the replacement from
'replacement' to 'rdev'.

This could race with other code that is looking at these pointers,
so we use memory barriers and careful ordering to ensure that
a reader might see one device twice, but never no devices.
Then the readers guard against using both devices, which could
only happen when writing.

 - R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to

 - R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and

We also distinguish between 'sync and replace' which need to read
all other devices, and 'replace' which only needs to read the
devices being replaced.

Note that during resync we always write to any replacement device.
It might not need to be written to, but as we don't read to compare,
we have to write to be sure.

If we get an error we don't try to repair it, we just fail the device.
A replacement device that gives errors does not sound sensible.

This requires removing the setting of R5_ReadError when we get

a bad idea anyway as we don't know that every block in the read
caused an error, and it could cause ReadError to be set for the

enough, otherwise use the original.

NeilBrown 2d78f8c451 md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.
hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.

With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
degraded during the transition.  It can also be use when the original
device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.

This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.

This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
device.  If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.

It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
sysfs.
   "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
   "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
   device.

The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
device, not the replacement.  We currently don't make links for the
replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need.

inconvenient.

NeilBrown 915c420ddf md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap.
For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
   number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.

The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit.  So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.

So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.

In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
more.

So we need to be more careful about calculating the 'degraded'

The info is already available in /proc/mdstat and /sys/block in
an accessible form so there is no point in putting a road-block in
the ioctl for information gathering.

NeilBrown 961902c0f8 md/bitmap: It is OK to clear bits during recovery.
commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.

When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.

For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits.  However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity.  The only negatives are:
 - next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
   be done.
 - the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.

While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.

So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

NeilBrown 60fc13702a md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add
Before performing a recovery we try to remove any spares that
might not be working, then add any that might have become relevant.

Currently we abort on the first spare that cannot be added.
This is a false optimisation.
It is conceivable that - depending on rules in the personality - a
subsequent spare might be accepted.
Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.

If we abort early these might not happen properly.

So remove the early abort.

In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.

NeilBrown 30d7a48368 md/raid5: ensure correct assessment of drives during degraded reshape.
While reshaping a degraded array (as when reshaping a RAID0 by first
converting it to a degraded RAID4) we currently get confused about
which devices are in_sync.  In most cases we get it right, but in the
region that is being reshaped we need to treat non-failed devices as
in-sync when we have the data but haven't actually written it out yet.

NeilBrown 09cd9270ea md/linear: fix hot-add of devices to linear arrays.
commit d70ed2e4fa
broke hot-add to a linear array.
After that commit, metadata if not written to devices until they
have been fully integrated into the array as determined by
saved_raid_disk.  That patch arranged to clear that field after
a recovery completed.

However for linear arrays, there is no recovery - the integration is
instantaneous.  So we need to explicitly clear the saved_raid_disk
field.

NeilBrown 9283d8c5af md/raid5: never wait for bad-block acks on failed device.
Once a device is failed we really want to completely ignore it.
It should go away soon anyway.

In particular the presence of bad blocks on it should not cause us to
block as we won't be trying to write there anyway.

So as soon as we can check if a device is Faulty, do so and pretend
that it is already gone if it is Faulty.

NeilBrown 8bd2f0a05b md: ensure new badblocks are handled promptly.
When we mark blocks as bad we need them to be acknowledged by the
metadata handler promptly.

For an in-kernel metadata handler that was already being done.  But
for an external metadata handler we need to alert it of the change by
sending a notification through the sysfs file.  This adds that
notification.

NeilBrown 52c64152a9 md: bad blocks shouldn't cause a Blocked status on a Faulty device.
Once a device is marked Faulty the badblocks - whether acknowledged or
not - become irrelevant.  So they shouldn't cause the device to be
marked as Blocked.

Without this patch, a process might write "-blocked" to clear the
Blocked status, but while that will correctly fail the device, it
won't remove the apparent 'blocked' status.

NeilBrown af8a24347f md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access.
When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the
mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which
is refcounted by sysfs.
And we also take the mddev_lock.
However this is not enough.

The final mddev_put could have been called and the
mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy
the kobj and mddev.
In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted.

To to guard against this we:
 - initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be
   easily detected.
 - in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under
   all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to
   be active.

This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we
will get -EBUSY.

rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have
sufficient protection.  They check that rdev->mddev still points to
mddev after taking mddev_lock.  As this is cleared  before delayed
removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this
ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive.

NeilBrown 1d23f178d5 md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL".
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed.
However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it
is needed or not.  We can only tell from recent history of changes.

In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very
similar to immediately after we have finished with it.

So we always preserve a newly created md device until something
significant happens.  This state is stored in 'hold_active'.

The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will
normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it.  If it
doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to
get rid of it.

We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we
currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if
it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed.
However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more
gradual so we should look for a more definitive change.

So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when
the array_state is changed via sysfs.  Other changes via sysfs
are ignored.
