cdc2ae6d6a md: fix some comments.
1/ Raid5 has learned to take over also raid4 and raid6 arrays.
2/ new_chunk in mdp_superblock_1 is in sectors, not bytes.

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

92022950c6 md: move most content from md.h to md_k.h
The extern function definitions are kernel-internal definitions, so
they belong in md_k.h

The MD_*_VERSION values could reasonably go in a number of places,
but md_u.h seems most reasonable.

This leaves almost nothing in md.h.  It will go soon.

8b2b5c217c md: move LEVEL_* definition from md_k.h to md_u.h
.. as they are part of the user-space interface.
Also move MdpMinorShift into there so we can remove duplication.

Lastly move mdp_major in.  It is less obviously part of the user-space
interface, but do_mounts_md.c uses it, and it is acting a bit like
user-space.

eea1bf384e md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).
There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.

1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
   rest are 'long'.
   So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
   curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
   long time to return to positive.

   So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
   for what we need.

2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
   the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
   suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
   So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

4044ba58dd md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.

So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

efeb53c0e5 md: Allow md devices to be created by name.
Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.

Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
awkward.

So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.

Writing a name such as "md_home" to
    /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
will cause an array with that name to be created.  It will appear in
/sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.

md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
close when the device is inactive.
For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.

The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
other devices.

d3374825ce md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.

If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.

So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
complication.
Between the call
   __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
   __blkdev_get->md_open

there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.

Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
fail.

So:
 1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
     indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
     though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
     This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
     is no longer needed.
     This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
     md_open.

 2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
     the gendisk that we did open.
     If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
     __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
     In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
     the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
     we loop at most once.

Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).

As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
  echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

cd2ac9321c md: need another print_sb for mdp_superblock_1
md_print_devices is called in two code path: MD_BUG(...), and md_ioctl
with PRINT_RAID_DEBUG.  it will dump out all in use md devices
information;

However, it wrongly processed two types of superblock in one:

The header file <linux/raid/md_p.h> has defined two types of superblock,
struct mdp_superblock_s (typedefed with mdp_super_t) according to md with
metadata 0.90, and struct mdp_superblock_1 according to md with metadata
1.0 and later,

These two types of superblock are very different,

The md_print_devices code processed them both in mdp_super_t, that would
lead to wrong informaton dump like:

159ec1fc06 md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

ab5bd5cbc8 md: Convert remaining 1k representations in linear.c to sectors.
This patch renames hash_spacing and preshift to  spacing and
sector_shift respectively with the following change of semantics:

Case 1: (sizeof(sector_t) <= sizeof(u32)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this case, we have sector_shift = preshift = 0 and spacing =
2 * hash_spacing.

Hence, the index for the hash table which is computed by the new code
in which_dev() as sector / spacing equals the old value which was
(sector/2) / hash_spacing.

Note also that the value of nb_zone stays the same because both sz
and base double.

Case 2: (sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(aka the shifting dance case). Here we have sector_shift = preshift +
1 and

spacing = 2 * hash_spacing

during the computation of nb_zone and curr_sector, but

spacing = hash_spacing

in which_dev() because in the last hunk of the patch for linear.c we
shift down conf->spacing (= 2 * hash_spacing) by one more bit than
in the old code.

Hence in the computation of nb_zone, sz and base have the same value
as before, so nb_zone is not affected. Also curr_sector in the next
hunk stays the same.

In which_dev() the hash table index is computed as

(sector >> sector_shift) / spacing

In view of sector_shift = preshift + 1 and spacing = hash_spacing,
this equals

((sector/2) >> preshift) / hash_spacing

which is the value computed by the old code.

4b80991c6c md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCU
All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock.  However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking.  If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.

So use RCU to protect these accesses:
  - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
  - use list_for_each_entry_rcu
  - add to the list with list_add_rcu
  - delete from the list with list_del_rcu
  - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work

Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list.  In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe.  It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
  - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
     already been done,
  - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
  - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
      add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
  - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
      different list.

So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.

Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates).  In these cases rcu is not needed.

b5470dc5fc md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write
md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete.  For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.

Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN.  The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail.  Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.

md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

[neilb@suse.de: return -EAGAIN, try GFP_NOIO]

ecc65c9b3f md: replace STRIPE_OP_CHECK with 'check_states'
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

The STRIPE_OP_* flags record the state of stripe operations which are
performed outside the stripe lock.  Their use in indicating which
operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what
the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of
these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs.  An easier to read
implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed.

Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was
previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags.  For now this only converts
the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the
ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations.

This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code.  There is
a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when
the parity calculation for that repair completes.  When this happens we will
writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'.

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the
parity block after checking parity.  It took advantage of the fact that
xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check
parity without writing to memory.  Remove it for the following reasons:

1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and
   non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum
2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock
3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated
   parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.

a0da84f35b Improve setting of "events_cleared" for write-intent bitmaps.
When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not
cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced
by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since
it was removed.

The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event
counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.

Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' -
the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle
ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the
bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require
a full resync when it is re-added.

With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about
to clear a bit in the bitmap.  We record events_cleared when we clear
the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written
out before the bit on storage.  This makes it more "obviously correct".

We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going
backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded
array).

Thanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early
"fixes".

dfc7064500 md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.

For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.

We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
    information.

The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.

Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
    parallel.

Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
  a/ this requires least code change
  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

90b08710e4 md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.
In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed.  In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
 So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

8b3e6cdc53 md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performance
Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its
stripes onto the handle_list in one shot.  Delayed stripes are now further
delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'.  The 'hold_list' is bypassed when:

  * a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list'
  * 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width
    write requests
  * 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'.  By default the threshold
    is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the
    top two conditions are false.

Benchmark data:
System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB
Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7
Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean
Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
  * patched:  +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512)

Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS)
  * patched: +13%
  * patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37%

Changes since v1:
* reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and
  make it configurable.  This defaults to fairness and modest performance
  gains out of the box.
Changes since v2:
* [neilb@suse.de]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not
  necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in
  add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang
  fix.
* [neilb@suse.de]: simplify get_priority_stripe
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is
  sampled empty (+11%)
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection
  of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%.  Note, resetting
  bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is
  probably too aggressive.
Changes since v3:
* cosmetic fixups
