We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.
With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts. Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.
In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.
For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same
sector as the bitmap.
md will not read/write any bitmap metadata. Config must be
done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded
again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in
the bitmap to be cleared again.

A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.
'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.
'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

For md arrays were metadata is managed externally, the kernel does not
know about a superblock so the superblock offset is 0.
If we want to have a write-intent-bitmap near the end of the
devices of such an array, we should support sector_t sized offset.
We need offset be possibly negative for when the bitmap is before
the metadata, so use loff_t instead.

Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1. This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.
When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device. When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty - we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.
The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.
The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail. If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail. That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.
RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet. So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.
Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted. Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.
That will be done in later patches.

A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap. If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.
So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.
This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.

A recent commit:
commit 449aad3e25
introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between
bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex.
__blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes
reconfig_mutex,
do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now
takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk.
This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the
use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced
by
commit d63a5a74de
do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock.
It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks.
One protects the array data structures while it is being
reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially
open while it is being deactivated.
In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing
between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens,
and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is
set to NULL. So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the
array is being destroyed.
So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between
'open' and 'stop'.
This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned
in commit d63a5a74d

This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.
md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity. The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().
The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.
For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

If the superblock of a component device indicates the presence of a
bitmap but the corresponding raid personality does not support bitmaps
(raid0, linear, multipath, faulty), then something is seriously wrong
and we'd better refuse to run such an array.
Currently, this check is performed while the superblocks are examined,
i.e. before entering personality code. Therefore the generic md layer
must know which raid levels support bitmaps and which do not.
This patch avoids this layer violation without adding identical code
to various personalities. This is accomplished by introducing a new
public function to md.c, md_check_no_bitmap(), which replaces the
hard-coded checks in the superblock loading functions.
A call to md_check_no_bitmap() is added to the ->run method of each
personality which does not support bitmaps and assembly is aborted
if at least one component device contains a bitmap.

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.

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.

To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.
The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.
So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.
There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module
code).

Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
partially completed drive recovery.
However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
unclean shutdown.
One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
have completed. And we need to know what has completed to record
how much is recovered. So occasionally pause the recovery until all
submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
we are up to.
When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
the bitmap up-to-date. So enhance that code to record the recovery
offset and schedule a superblock update.
And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
do a checkpoint.
'16' is a fairly arbitrary number. But we don't really have any good
way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
number for now.
