License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window 'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")' introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at same time. The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly. Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further related modification may easily introduce more regreassion. Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier. The brief idea of the simpler barrier is, - Do not maintain a global unique resync window - Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier bucket index, vice versa. - I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough barrier buckets Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed, - BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE. Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes. For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests, for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough. Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1 second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync. - BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by, #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS) this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer to array of integers, - int nr_pending; - int nr_waiting; - int nr_queued; - int barrier; + int *nr_pending; + int *nr_waiting; + int *nr_queued; + int *barrier; number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page. 1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to kernel page allocator than larger memory size. - I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined in raid1.h as an inline function, static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector) { return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS, BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS); } Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio. - Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than original bio size. Comparing to single sliding resync window, - Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is similar to single sliding resync window. - But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads, I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice. - Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much simpler barrier algorithm and implementation. There are two changes should be noticed, - In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into single loop, it looks like this, spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags); conf->nr_queued[idx]--; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags); This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code, atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]); So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here. - Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change the code logic more simple and clear. - In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier() is replaced by raid1_read_request(). The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen, using different barrier function in different code path makes the code more clean and easy to read. Changelog V4: - Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code. - Fix many typos in patch comments. - Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS. V3: - Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code. - Many fixes by review comments from Neil, - Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf - Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf - Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided. - Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and get_all_queued() - Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024 - Change code comments format by review from Shaohua. V2: - Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from Shaohua. - Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua. - In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are allocated in memory page.

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number. The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and wait_barrier() code, - 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 89.92% allow_barrier + 9.34% __wake_up - 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq - _raw_spin_lock_irq - 100.00% wait_barrier The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions, - raise_barrier() - lower_barrier() - wait_barrier() - allow_barrier() They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty. The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only holding conf->resync_lock when it has to. The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into current form. In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two wait barrier functions, - wait_barrier() Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket, or the whold array is unfreezed. - wait_read_barrier() Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance() will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary when the whole array is frozen. The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf-> barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(), lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf-> nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost. This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%). Changelog V4: - Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t. - Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t))) V3: - Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested. - Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int. - Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(). - In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]), to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and freeze_array(). V2: - Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d(). - Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two atomic_t variables at same time. V1: - Original RFC patch for comments.

RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync window 'Commit 79ef3a8aa1cb ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")' introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at same time. The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly. Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further related modification may easily introduce more regreassion. Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier. The brief idea of the simpler barrier is, - Do not maintain a global unique resync window - Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier bucket index, vice versa. - I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough barrier buckets Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed, - BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE. Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes. For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests, for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough. Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1 second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync. - BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by, #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS) this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer to array of integers, - int nr_pending; - int nr_waiting; - int nr_queued; - int barrier; + int *nr_pending; + int *nr_waiting; + int *nr_queued; + int *barrier; number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page. 1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to kernel page allocator than larger memory size. - I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined in raid1.h as an inline function, static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector) { return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS, BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS); } Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio. - Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than original bio size. Comparing to single sliding resync window, - Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is similar to single sliding resync window. - But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads, I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice. - Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much simpler barrier algorithm and implementation. There are two changes should be noticed, - In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into single loop, it looks like this, spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags); conf->nr_queued[idx]--; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags); This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code, atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]); So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here. - Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change the code logic more simple and clear. - In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier() is replaced by raid1_read_request(). The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen, using different barrier function in different code path makes the code more clean and easy to read. Changelog V4: - Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code. - Fix many typos in patch comments. - Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS. V3: - Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code. - Many fixes by review comments from Neil, - Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf - Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf - Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided. - Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and get_all_queued() - Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024 - Change code comments format by review from Shaohua. V2: - Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from Shaohua. - Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua. - In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves the memory space into struct r1conf, like this, - int nr_pending; - int nr_waiting; - int nr_queued; - int barrier; + int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua. - Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing. - Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in raid1_make_write_request().

RAID1: avoid unnecessary spin locks in I/O barrier code When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number. The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and wait_barrier() code, - 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 89.92% allow_barrier + 9.34% __wake_up - 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq - _raw_spin_lock_irq - 100.00% wait_barrier The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions, - raise_barrier() - lower_barrier() - wait_barrier() - allow_barrier() They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty. The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only holding conf->resync_lock when it has to. The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into current form. In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two wait barrier functions, - wait_barrier() Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket, or the whold array is unfreezed. - wait_read_barrier() Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance() will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary when the whole array is frozen. The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf-> barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(), lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf-> nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost. This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance.

If this does fail, we don't try read repair but just allow failure. If it was the last device it doesn't fail of course, so the retry happens on the same device - this time without FAILFAST. A subsequent failure will not retry but will just pass up the error. During resync we may use FAILFAST requests and on a failure we will simply use the other device(s). During recovery we will only use FAILFAST in the unusual case were there are multiple places to read from - i.e. if there are > 2 devices. If we get a failure we will fail the device and complete the resync/recovery with remaining devices. The new R1BIO_FailFast flag is set on read reqest to suggest the a FAILFAST request might be acceptable. The rdev needs to have FailFast set as well for the read to actually use REQ_FAILFAST_*. We need to know there are at least two working devices before we can set R1BIO_FailFast, so we mustn't stop looking at the first device we find. So the "min_pending == 0" handling to not exit early, but too always choose the best_pending_disk if min_pending == 0. The spinlocked region in raid1_error() in enlarged to ensure that if two bios, reading from two different devices, fail at the same time, then there is no risk that both devices will be marked faulty, leaving zero "In_sync" devices.
