      md/raid10: prepare data structures for handling replacement. · 69335ef3
      NeilBrown authored
      Allow each slot in the RAID10 to have 2 devices, the want_replacement
      and the replacement.
      
      Also an r10bio to have 2 bios, and for resync/recovery allocate the
      second bio if there are any replacement devices.

      md/raid5: Mark device want_replacement when we see a write error. · 3a6de292
      NeilBrown authored
      Now that WantReplacement drives are replaced cleanly, mark a drive
      as WantReplacement when we see a write error.  It might get failed soon so
      the WantReplacement flag is irrelevant, but if the write error is recorded
      in the bad block log, we still want to activate any spare that might
      be available.

      When attempting to add a spare to a RAID[456] array, also consider
      adding it as a replacement for a want_replacement device.
      
      This requires that common md code attempt hot_add even when the array
      is not formally degraded.

      md/raid5: handle activation of replacement device when recovery completes. · dd054fce
      NeilBrown authored
      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.

      md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery. · 9a3e1101
      NeilBrown authored
      During recovery we want to write to the replacement but not
      the original.  So we have two new flags
       - R5_NeedReplace if this stripe has a replacement that needs to
         be written at some stage
       - R5_WantReplace if NeedReplace, and the data is available, and
         a 'sync' has been requested on this stripe.
      
      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.

      md/raid5: writes should get directed to replacement as well as original. · 977df362
      NeilBrown authored
      When writing, we need to submit two writes, one to the original, and
      one to the replacement - if there is a replacement.
      
      If the write to the replacement results in a write error, we just fail
      the device.  We only try to record write errors to the original.
      
      When writing for recovery, we shouldn't write to the original.  This
      will be addressed in a subsequent patch that generally addresses
      recovery.

      md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible. · 14a75d3e
      NeilBrown authored
      If a replacement device is present and has been recovered far enough,
      then use it for reading into the stripe cache.
      
      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 read error during a read that bypasses the cache.  It was probably
      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
      replacement device, which is bad.

      md/raid5: allow each slot to have an extra replacement device · 671488cc
      NeilBrown authored
      Just enhance data structures to record a second device per slot to be
      used as a 'replacement' device, replacing the original.
      We also have a second bio in each slot in each stripe_head.  This will
      only be used when writing to the array - we need to write to both the
      original and the replacement at the same time, so will need two bios.
      
      For now, only try using the replacement drive for aligned-reads.
      In this case, we prefer the replacement if it has been recovered far
      enough, otherwise use the original.
      
      This includes a small enhancement.  Previously we would only do
      aligned reads if the target device was fully recovered.  Now we also
      do them if it has recovered far enough.

      md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace. · 2d78f8c4
      NeilBrown authored
      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.

      md: remove test for duplicate device when setting slot number. · 476a7abb
      NeilBrown authored
      When setting the slot number on a device in an active array we
      currently check that the number is not already in use.
      We then call into the personality's hot_add_disk function
      which performs the same test and returns the same error.
      
      Thus the common test is not needed.
      
      As we will shortly be changing some personalities to allow duplicates
      in some cases (to support hot-replace), the common test will become
      inconvenient.
      
      So remove the common test.

      md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap. · 915c420d
      NeilBrown authored
      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.

      When an array is being reshaped to change the number of devices,
      the two halves can be differently degraded.  e.g. one could be

      md/bitmap: It is OK to clear bits during recovery. · 961902c0
      NeilBrown authored
      commit d0a4bb49 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.

      md: don't give up looking for spares on first failure-to-add · 60fc1370
      NeilBrown authored
      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.

      md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access. · af8a2434
      NeilBrown authored
      
      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.

      md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL". · 1d23f178
      NeilBrown authored
      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.

      md/lock: ensure updates to page_attrs are properly locked. · 7c8f4247
      NeilBrown authored
      Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as
      it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not
      needed.
      
      However there are two places where we might set or clear page
      attributes without holding the spinlock.
      So add the spinlock in those cases.
      
      This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't
      getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost
      when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared.  This is an
      inconvenience, not a threat to data safety.

      VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing · a3fbbde7
      Al Viro authored
      Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
      not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
      unpleasant consequences for NFS4.
      
      Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:
      
          cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
          #include <unistd.h>
          #include <fcntl.h>
          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
          {
                  struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
                  if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
                          perror("setlk");
          }
          EOF
          cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test
      
      then on nfs4:
      
          mount --bind file1 file2
          /tmp/test < file1		# ok
          /tmp/test < file2		# spews "setlk: No locks available"...
      
      What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
      crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.
      
      The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
      following procfs-style symlinks.  I.e.  set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

      ARM: OMAP: Fix export.h or module.h includes · a1bcc1dc
      Tony Lindgren authored
      Commit 32aaeffb (Merge branch
      'modsplit-Oct31_2011'...) caused some build errors. Fix these
      and make sure we always have export.h or module.h included
      for MODULE_ and EXPORT_SYMBOL users:
      
      $ grep -rl ^MODULE_ arch/arm/*omap*/*.c | xargs \
        grep -L linux/module.h
        arch/arm/mach-omap2/dsp.c
        arch/arm/mach-omap2/mailbox.c
        arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-iommu.c
        arch/arm/mach-omap2/smartreflex.c
      
      Also check we either have export.h or module.h included
      for the files exporting symbols:
      
      $ grep -rl EXPORT_SYMBOL arch/arm/*omap*/*.c | xargs \
        grep -L linux/export.h | xargs grep -L linux/module.h
