2009-12-08md/raid5: make sure curr_sync_completes is uptodate when reshape startsNeilBrown
commit 8dee7211467a56b7eb4e4359efb0aa4a72e1b6f3 upstream. This value is visible through sysfs and is used by mdadm when it manages a reshape (backing up data that is about to be rearranged). So it is important that it is always correct. Current it does not get updated properly when a reshape starts which can cause problems when assembling an array that is in the middle of being reshaped. This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-08-13md/raid5: Properly remove excess drives after shrinking a raid5/6NeilBrown
We were removing the drives, from the array, but not removing symlinks from /sys/.... and not marking the device as having been removed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-08-13md/raid5: make sure a reshape restarts at the correct address.NeilBrown
This "if" don't allow for the possibility that the number of devices doesn't change, and so sector_nr isn't set correctly in that case. So change '>' to '>='. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-08-13md/raid5: allow new reshape modes to be restarted in the middle.NeilBrown
md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing over the same part of disk that it would be reading from. This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the number of devices. The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices" case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace performing a backup. It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the no-change case. For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully starts such arrays works.

2009-08-03md: Use revalidate_disk to effect changes in size of device.NeilBrown
As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev inode. So use that instead of mucking about with locks and i_size_write. Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places where the gendisk capacity is changed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-08-03md: allow raid5_quiesce to work properly when reshape is happening.NeilBrown
The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape, just normal IO. But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed. However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds needlessly. So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can drop to zero. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-08-03md/raid5: set reshape_position correctly when reshape starts.NeilBrown

2009-07-01md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.NeilBrown
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short while. When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.

2009-07-01md/raid5: suspend shouldn't affect read requests.NeilBrown

2009-06-18md/raid5: add missing call to schedule() after prepare_to_wait()Dan Williams
In the unlikely event that reshape progresses past the current request while it is waiting for a stripe we need to schedule() before retrying for 2 reasons: 1/ Prevent list corruption from duplicated list_add() calls without intervening list_del(). 2/ Give the reshape code a chance to make some progress to resolve the conflict.

2009-06-18md: Push down reconstruction log message to personality code.Andre Noll
Currently, the md layer checks in analyze_sbs() if the raid level supports reconstruction (mddev->level >= 1) and if reconstruction is in progress (mddev->recovery_cp != MaxSector).

2009-06-18md: merge reconfig and check_reshape methods.NeilBrown
The difference between these two methods is artificial. Both check that a pending reshape is valid, and perform any aspect of it that can be done immediately. 'reconfig' handles chunk size and layout. 'check_reshape' handles raid_disks. So make them just one method. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-18md: remove unnecessary arguments from ->reconfig method.NeilBrown

2009-06-18md: raid5: check stripe cache is large enough in start_reshapeNeilBrown

2009-06-09md/raid5: fix bug in reshape code when chunk_size decreases.NeilBrown
Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate "reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old and new chunk size. However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize' rather than 'reshape_sectors'. This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-09md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshapeNeilBrown
md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a stable state before making internal changes. Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync IO, and reshape IO. However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO. Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together. If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be used until the last is allocated. It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will ensure the reshape thread is not running at all. So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without being blocked by a 'quiesce'. This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is not needed in earlier kernels.

2009-06-09md/raid5: use conf->raid_disks in preference to mddev->raid_diskNeilBrown
mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from user-space. It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is desired. conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable locks in place. It is a statement as to the current number of raid_disks. There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former is used. This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array. This patch changes to mddev-> to conf-> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-04-17md: update sync_completed and reshape_position even more often.NeilBrown
There are circumstances when a user-space process might need to "oversee" a resync/reshape process. For example when doing an in-place reshape of a raid5, it is prudent to take a backup of each section before reshaping it as this is the only way to provide safety against an unplanned shutdown (i.e. crash/power failure). The sync_max sysfs value can be used to stop the resync from advancing beyond a particular point. So user-space can: suspend IO to the first section and back it up set 'sync_max' to the end of the section wait for 'sync_completed' to reach that point resume IO on the first section and move on to the next section. However this process requires the kernel and user-space to run in lock-step which could introduce unnecessary delays. It would be better if a 'double buffered' approach could be used with userspace and kernel space working on different sections with the 'next' section always ready when the 'current' section is finished. One problem with implementing this is that sync_completed is only guaranteed to be updated when the sync process reaches sync_max. (it is updated on a time basis at other times, but it is hard to rely on that). This defeats some of the double buffering. With this patch, sync_completed (and reshape_position) get updated as the current position approaches sync_max, so there is room for userspace to advance sync_max early without losing updates. To be precise, sync_completed is updated when the current sync position reaches half way between the current value of sync_completed and the value of sync_max. This will usually be a good time for user space to update sync_max. If sync_max does not get updated, the updates to sync_completed (together with associated metadata updates) will occur at an exponentially increasing frequency which will get unreasonably fast (one update every page) immediately before the process hits sync_max and stops. So the update rate will be unreasonably fast only for an insignificant period of time. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-04-14md: improve usefulness and accuracy of sysfs file md/sync_completed.NeilBrown
The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or reshape) has been completed. However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes, it is not certain to be accurate. We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate). So: - make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often, particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata - report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file - allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed. This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshapeNeilBrown
We currently update the metadata : 1/ every 3Megabytes 2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in the metadata as still containing old-layout data. Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the face of a crash/restart. So it should really be time based rather than size based. So change it to "every 10 seconds". Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array 'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every stripe. For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the constant metadata update is pointless. So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently writing 'new-layout' data. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md/raid5: be more careful about write ordering when reshaping.NeilBrown
When we are reshaping an array, it is very important that we read the data from a particular sector offset before writing new data at that offset. In most cases when growing or shrinking an array we read long before we even consider writing. But when restriping an array without changing it size, there is a small possibility that we might have some data to available write before the read has happened at the same location. This would require some stripes to be in cache already. To guard against this small possibility, we check, before writing, that the 'old' stripe at the same location is not in the process of being read. And we ensure that we mark all 'source' stripes as such before allowing new 'destination' stripes to proceed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: allow layout and chunksize to be changed on active array.NeilBrown

2009-03-31md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.NeilBrown
Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently underway. This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences. The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same. The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway. Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the reshape starts. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.NeilBrown
During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are 'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are 'after'. They are currently differentiated by having different ->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing the number of disks. However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number of disks (chunk parity or chunk size). So make the difference more explicit with a 'generation' number. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: allow number of drives in raid5 to be reducedNeilBrown
When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of the array to the beginning. md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning to the end. So largely ignore them use the internal state variable "reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next. Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6, 3 otherwise). We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before the array is reshaped to a smaller size. This is because simply reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at the ends of the devices. Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write an appropriately small size to md/array_size. When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer needed and fix up ->degraded. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.NeilBrown
When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the beginning. So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo differently. This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: add explicit method to signal the end of a reshape.NeilBrown
Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping) notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being given a large value, and handles any cleanup them. This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an explicit finish_reshape method as well. The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t structure. The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device. This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array while a reshape was happening. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: enhance raid5_size to work correctly with negative delta_disksNeilBrown
This is the first of four patches which combine to allow md/raid5 to reduce the number of devices in the array by restriping the data over a subset of the devices. If the number of disks in a raid4/5/6 is being reduced, then the default size must be based on the new number, not the old number of devices. In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-03-31md: 'array_size' sysfs attributeDan Williams
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following semantics: 1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0) a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail if size is greater than the default size b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set array size should be blocked 2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it 3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size. Resync/reshape operations always follow the default size. Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.
