md/r5cache: gracefully handle journal device errors for writeback mode
For the raid456 with writeback cache, when journal device failed during normal operation, it is still possible to persist all data, as all pending data is still in stripe cache. However, it is necessary to handle journal failure gracefully. During journal failures, the following logic handles the graceful shutdown of journal: 1. raid5_error() marks the device as Faulty and schedules async work log->disable_writeback_work; 2. In disable_writeback_work (r5c_disable_writeback_async), the mddev is suspended, set to write through, and then resumed. mddev_suspend() flushes all cached stripes; 3. All cached stripes need to be flushed carefully to the RAID array. This patch fixes issues within the process above: 1. In r5c_update_on_rdev_error() schedule disable_writeback_work for journal failures; 2. In r5c_disable_writeback_async(), wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, since raid5_error() updates superblock. 3. In handle_stripe(), allow stripes with data in journal (s.injournal > 0) to make progress during log_failed; 4. In delay_towrite(), if log failed only process data in the cache (skip new writes in dev->towrite); 5. In __get_priority_stripe(), process loprio_list during journal device failures. 6. In raid5_remove_disk(), wait for all cached stripes are flushed before calling log_exit(). Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
