2011-06-08MD: raid1 changes to allow use by device mapperJonathan Brassow
MD RAID1: Changes to allow RAID1 to be used by device-mapper (dm-raid.c) Added the necessary congestion function and conditionalize calls requiring an array 'queue' or 'gendisk'. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-05-11md/raid1: improve handling of pages allocated for write-behind.NeilBrown
The current handling and freeing of these pages is a bit fragile. We only keep the list of allocated pages in each bio, so we need to still have a valid bio when freeing the pages, which is a bit clumsy. So simply store the allocated page list in the r1_bio so it can easily be found and freed when we are finished with the r1_bio. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-29md/raid1: discard unused variable.NeilBrown
This structure field (flushing_bio_list) is never used, so remove it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-09-10md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA supportTejun Heo
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. In the core part (md.c), the following changes are notable. * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress. * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry logic. Retry logic is removed. * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be deferred to request_queue of member devices. md_barrier_request() is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly. For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough. raid1, 5 and 10 need the following conversions. * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to request_queues of member devices. Barrier related logic removed. * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped. FUA bit is propagated through biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying writes was FUA. preread_active_stripes handling in make_request() is updated as suggested by Neil Brown. * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones. linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

A 2-device raid5 array can now be converted to raid1. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-16md: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macroNeilBrown
Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful. I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private, than have to know what the macro does. So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: move lots of #include lines out of .h files and into .cNeilBrown
This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include other files. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: move headers out of include/linux/raid/Christoph Hellwig
Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there are some uses from the outside.
