9910f16af3 [PATCH] md: fix up some rdev rcu locking in raid5/6
There is this "FIXME" comment with a typo in it!!  that been annoying me for
days, so I just had to remove it.

conf->disks[i].rdev should only be accessed if
  - we know we hold a reference or
  - the mddev->reconfig_sem is down or
  - we have a rcu_readlock

handle_stripe was referencing rdev in three places without any of these.  For
the first two, get an rcu_readlock.  For the last, the same access
(md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed
under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set.  So just use that access...
However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the
same information.  So use that instead.

Issues, comment, and fix are identical in raid5 and raid6.

69382e8537 [PATCH] md: better handling for read error in raid1 during resync
Handling of read errors during resync is separate from handling of read errors
during normal IO in raid1.  A previous patch added support for read errors
during normal IO.  This one adds support for read errors during resync or
recovery.

The key differences are that we don't need to freeze the array, because the
normal handling of resync means that this part of the array will be idle
except for resync, and the read/overwrite/re-read is needed in a separate
piece of code.

ddaf22abaa [PATCH] md: attempt to auto-correct read errors in raid1
On a read-error we suspend the array, then synchronously read the block from
other arrays until we find one where we can read it.  Then we try writing the
good data back everywhere and make sure it works.  If any write or subsequent
read fails, only then do we fail the device out of the array.

To be able to suspend the array, we need to also keep track of how many
requests are queued for handling by raid1d.

ca65b73bd9 [PATCH] md: fix raid6 resync check/repair code
raid6 currently does not check the P/Q syndromes when doing a resync, it just
calculates the correct value and writes it.  Doing the check can reduce writes
(often to 0) for a resync, and it is needed to properly implement the

  echo check > sync_action

operation.

This patch implements the appropriate checks and tidies up some related code.

It also allows raid6 user-requested resync to bypass the intent bitmap.

b15c2e57f0 [PATCH] md: move bitmap_create to after md array has been initialised
This is important because bitmap_create uses
  mddev->resync_max_sectors
and that doesn't have a valid value until after the array
has been initialised (with pers->run()).
[It doesn't make a difference for current personalities that
 support bitmaps, but will make a difference for raid10]

This has the added advantage of meaning with can move the thread->timeout
manipulation inside the bitmap.c code instead of sprinkling identical code
throughout all personalities.

ac81b2ee45 [PATCH] make dm-mirror not issue invalid resync requests
I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on
2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem.  The configuration
in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors.  I set
up the dm_mirror table as such:

0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0

If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes
across both SCSI disks.  The sector count of the dm device is less than the
size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end.  However, I always get
the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table:

attempt to access beyond end of device
sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584

Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive.  I
traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which
gets called when we're putting the mirror set together.  This function
calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any
resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync.
 The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the
core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c.

The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find
out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e.  the bit is 0),
which is where the problem occurs.  If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1
(which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync
option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter
(lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up
to the nearest multiple of 32!  I don't know if this is intentional, but
i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior.

In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like
it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and
return 0.  Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning
a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes
the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync
areas outside of the RAID1 region.  Seeing as the HostRAID metadata
lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area
is not a good idea.

I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so
that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if
there's a reason for the current behavior.

defd94b754 [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectors
- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait
needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests
- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.

Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

or not it was an active device.  The old code being removed set a value of
'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go.  The changed code performs the

22dfdf5212 [PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'
raid10 has two different layouts.  One uses near-copies (so multiple
copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different
devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices).  The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.

Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance.  So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.

With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0
with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still
very slow.

0e56822d30 [PATCH] device-mapper: mirror log bitset fix
The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned
long".  dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only
allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).

The patch below fixes this problem.

The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.

In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
   0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).

   0 0 0 0 X X X X
                 ^
                 here

which hasn't been cleared properly.

As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.

It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs.  As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means
that they cannot safely be moved between computers with

c4cc66351a [PATCH] device-mapper: list_versions fix
In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size
calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion
of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission.

This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound.  (The code ought to be fixed
to supply the actual size.)

Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last
line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'.  Consequently, 'lvcreate --type
error' doesn't work.

c0e485216d [PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting happens when request completes
md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO.  It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.

disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued.  This upsets md's calculations.

We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems.  If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted.  This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.

So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time.  The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync.  This should be fixed up.

For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.

Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO.  To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

93588e2284 [PATCH] md: make md threads interruptible again
Despite the fact that md threads don't need to be signalled, and won't
respond to signals anyway, we need to have an 'interruptible' wait, else
they stay in 'D' state and add to the load average.

(akpm: the signal_pending() test is unneeded - we'll fix that up in the next
round.  For now, leave it there because that's how the code used to be).

7eec314d75 [PATCH] md: improve 'scan_mode' and rename it to 'sync_action'
The current sync_action for an array can be one of

   idle  - nothing happening
   resync - reduncancy being recalcualted
   recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
   check   - user initiated check of redundancy
   repair  - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
             bitmap optimisation.

Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause
that action to happen (if appropriate).

While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I
think it is the most servicable word here.  Also 'action' is a strong word
than 'mode'.
