After reshape the data offset is changed. It selects backwards direction in this condition.
In function super_1_load it compares the available space of the underlying device with
sb->data_size. The new data offset gets bigger after reshape. So super_1_load returns -EINVAL.
rdev->sectors is updated in md_finish_reshape. Then sb->data_size is set in super_1_sync based
on rdev->sectors. So add md_finish_reshape in end_reshape.

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().
To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().
Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

The function flush_signals clears all pending signals for the process. It
may be used by kernel threads when we need to prepare a kernel thread for
responding to signals. However using this function for an userspaces
processes is incorrect - clearing signals without the program expecting it
can cause misbehavior.
The raid1 and raid5 code uses flush_signals in its request routine because
it wants to prepare for an interruptible wait. This patch drops
flush_signals and uses sigprocmask instead to block all signals (including
SIGKILL) around the schedule() call. The signals are not lost, but the
schedule() call won't respond to them.

If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.
We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

Currently, sync of raid456 array cannot make progress when hitting

This patch fixes this issue by flushing cached data of the stripe
before processing the sync request. This is achived by:
1. In handle_stripe(), do not set STRIPE_SYNCING if the stripe is
in write back cache;
2. In r5c_try_caching_write(), handle the stripe in sync with write
through;
3. In do_release_stripe(), make stripe in sync write out and send
it to the state machine.

For the raid456 with writeback cache, when journal device failed during
normal operation, it is still possible to persist all data, as all
pending data is still in stripe cache. However, it is necessary to handle
journal failure gracefully.
During journal failures, the following logic handles the graceful shutdown
of journal:
1. raid5_error() marks the device as Faulty and schedules async work
log->disable_writeback_work;
2. In disable_writeback_work (r5c_disable_writeback_async), the mddev is
suspended, set to write through, and then resumed. mddev_suspend()
flushes all cached stripes;
3. All cached stripes need to be flushed carefully to the RAID array.
This patch fixes issues within the process above:
1. In r5c_update_on_rdev_error() schedule disable_writeback_work for
journal failures;
2. In r5c_disable_writeback_async(), wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING,
since raid5_error() updates superblock.
3. In handle_stripe(), allow stripes with data in journal (s.injournal > 0)
to make progress during log_failed;
4. In delay_towrite(), if log failed only process data in the cache (skip
new writes in dev->towrite);
5. In __get_priority_stripe(), process loprio_list during journal device
failures.
6. In raid5_remove_disk(), wait for all cached stripes are flushed before
calling log_exit().

Use resize_stripes() instead of raid5_reset_stripe_cache() to allocate

raid5_reset_stripe_cache() required suspending the mddev and could
deadlock because of GFP_KERNEL allocations.
Move the 'newsize' check to check_reshape() to allow reallocating the
stripes with the same number of disks. Allocate sh->ppl_page in
alloc_stripe() instead of grow_buffers(). Pass 'struct r5conf *conf' as
a parameter to alloc_stripe() because it is needed to check whether to
allocate ppl_page. Add free_stripe() and use it to free stripes rather
than directly call kmem_cache_free(). Also free sh->ppl_page in
free_stripe().
Set MD_HAS_PPL at the end of ppl_init_log() instead of explicitly
setting it in advance and add another parameter to log_init() to allow
calling ppl_init_log() without the bit set. Don't try to calculate
partial parity or add a stripe to log if it does not have ppl_page set.
Enabling ppl can now be performed without suspending the mddev, because
the log won't be used until new stripes are allocated with ppl_page.
Calling mddev_suspend/resume is still necessary when disabling ppl,
because we want all stripes to finish before stopping the log, but
resize_stripes() can be called after mddev_resume() when ppl is no
longer active.

When recoverying a single missing/failed device in a RAID6,
those stripes where the Q block is on the missing device are
handled a bit differently. In these cases it is easy to
check that the P block is correct, so we do. This results
in the P block be destroy. Consequently the P block needs
to be read a second time in order to compute Q. This causes
lots of seeks and hurts performance.
It shouldn't be necessary to re-read P as it can be computed
from the DATA. But we only compute blocks on missing
devices, since c337869d95 ("md: do not compute parity
unless it is on a failed drive").
So relax the change made in that commit to allow computing
of the P block in a RAID6 which it is the only missing that
block.
This makes RAID6 recovery run much faster as the disk just
"before" the recovering device is no longer seeking
back-and-forth.

Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that.
So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().
Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.
There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong
2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems
call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.
3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce
two identical trace events if left like that.
To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.
When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component. To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.
So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.

When a read request, which bypassed the cache, fails, we need to retry

We do what we can, and record how far we got in ->bi_phys_segments so
we can pick up again later.
There is only ever one bio which may have a non-zero offset stored in
->bi_phys_segments, the one that is either active in the single thread
which calls retry_aligned_read(), or is in conf->retry_read_aligned
waiting for retry_aligned_read() to be called again.
So we only need to store one offset value. This can be in a local
variable passed between remove_bio_from_retry() and
retry_aligned_read(), or in the r5conf structure next to the
->retry_read_aligned pointer.
Storing it there allows the last usage of ->bi_phys_segments to be

md/raid5 needs to keep track of how many stripe_heads are processing a
bio so that it can delay calling bio_endio() until all stripe_heads
have completed. It currently uses 16 bits of ->bi_phys_segments for
this purpose.
16 bits is only enough for 256M requests, and it is possible for a
single bio to be larger than this, which causes problems. Also, the
bio struct contains a larger counter, __bi_remaining, which has a
purpose very similar to the purpose of our counter. So stop using
->bi_phys_segments, and instead use __bi_remaining.
This means we don't need to initialize the counter, as our caller
initializes it to '1'. It also means we can call bio_endio() directly

If a device fails during a write, we must ensure the failure is

acknowleged.
Commit c3cce6cda1 ("md/raid5: ensure device failure recorded before
write request returns.") added code for this, but it was
unnecessarily complicated. We already had similar functionality for
handling updates to the bad-block-list, thanks to Commit de393cdea6
("md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.")
So revert most of the former commit, and instead avoid collecting
completed writes if MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set. raid5d() will then flush
the metadata and retry the stripe_head.
As this change can leave a stripe_head ready for handling immediately
after handle_active_stripes() returns, we change raid5_do_work() to
pause when MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set, so that it doesn't spin.
We check MD_CHANGE_PENDING *after* analyse_stripe() as it could be set
asynchronously. After analyse_stripe(), we have collected stable data
about the state of devices, which will be used to make decisions.

We use md_write_start() to increase the count of pending writes, and
md_write_end() to decrement the count. We currently count bios
submitted to md/raid5. Change it count stripe_heads that a WRITE bio
has been attached to.
So now, raid5_make_request() calls md_write_start() and then
md_write_end() to keep the count elevated during the setup of the
request.
add_stripe_bio() calls md_write_start() for each stripe_head, and the
completion routines always call md_write_end(), instead of only
calling it when raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes() returns 0.
make_discard_request also calls md_write_start/end().
The parallel between md_write_{start,end} and use of bi_phys_segments
can be seen in that:
Whenever we set bi_phys_segments to 1, we now call md_write_start.
Whenever we increment it on non-read requests with
raid5_inc_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_start().
Whenever we decrement bi_phys_segments on non-read requsts with
raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_end().
This reduces our dependence on keeping a per-bio count of active
stripes in bi_phys_segments.
md_write_inc() is added which parallels md_write_start(), but requires
that a write has already been started, and is certain never to sleep.
This can be used inside a spinlocked region when adding to a write
request.

Load the log from each disk when starting the array and recover if the
array is dirty.
The initial empty PPL is written by mdadm. When loading the log we
verify the header checksum and signature. For external metadata arrays
the signature is verified in userspace, so here we read it from the
header, verifying only if it matches on all disks, and use it later when
writing PPL.
In addition to the header checksum, each header entry also contains a
checksum of its partial parity data. If the header is valid, recovery is
performed for each entry until an invalid entry is found. If the array
is not degraded and recovery using PPL fully succeeds, there is no need
to resync the array because data and parity will be consistent, so in
this case resync will be disabled.
Due to compatibility with IMSM implementations on other systems, we
can't assume that the recovery data block size is always 4K. Writes
generated by MD raid5 don't have this issue, but when recovering PPL
written in other environments it is possible to have entries with
512-byte sector granularity. The recovery code takes this into account
and also the logical sector size of the underlying drives.

Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is
calculated as follows:
- reconstruct-write case:
xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe
- read-modify-write case:
xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe
Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.
Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.
Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.
Warn about using PPL with enabled disk volatile write-back cache for
now. It can be removed once disk cache flushing before writing PPL is
implemented.

Previous patch (raid5: only dispatch IO from raid5d for harddisk raid)
defers IO dispatching. The goal is to create better IO pattern. At that
time, we don't sort the deffered IO and hope the block layer can do IO
merge and sort. Now the raid5-cache writeback could create large amount
of bios. And if we enable muti-thread for stripe handling, we can't
control when to dispatch IO to raid disks. In a lot of time, we are
dispatching IO which block layer can't do merge effectively.
This patch moves further for the IO dispatching defer. We accumulate
bios, but we don't dispatch all the bios after a threshold is met. This
'dispatch partial portion of bios' stragety allows bios coming in a
large time window are sent to disks together. At the dispatching time,
there is large chance the block layer can merge the bios. To make this
more effective, we dispatch IO in ascending order. This increases
request merge chance and reduces disk seek.

In raid5-cache writeback mode, we have two types of stripes to handle.
- stripes which aren't cached yet
- stripes which are cached and flushing out to raid disks
Upperlayer is more sensistive to latency of the first type of stripes
generally. But we only one handle list for all these stripes, where the
two types of stripes are mixed together. When reclaim flushes a lot of
stripes, the first type of stripes could be noticeably delayed. On the
other hand, if the log space is tight, we'd like to handle the second
type of stripes faster and free log space.
This patch destinguishes the two types stripes. They are added into
different handle list. When we try to get a stripe to handl, we prefer
the first type of stripes unless log space is tight.
This should have no impact for !writeback case.

Before this patch, device InJournal will be included in prexor
(SYNDROME_SRC_WANT_DRAIN) but not in reconstruct (SYNDROME_SRC_WRITTEN). So it
will break parity calculation. With srctype == SYNDROME_SRC_WRITTEN, we need
include both dev with non-null ->written and dev with R5_InJournal. This fixes
logic in 1e6d690(md/r5cache: caching phase of r5cache)

raid1_resize and raid5_resize should also check the

And both set_capacity and revalidate_disk are used in
pers->resize such as raid1, raid10 and raid5. So
move them from personality file to common code.

We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't
in resync I/O path.
Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.
So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()
in bio_clone_mddev().
Also kill bio_clone_mddev() and call bio_clone_fast() directly, as
suggested by Christoph Hellwig.

stripes which are being reclaimed are still accounted into cached
stripes. The reclaim takes time. r5c_do_reclaim isn't aware of the
stripes and does unnecessary stripe reclaim. In practice, I saw one
stripe is reclaimed one time. This will cause bad IO pattern. Fixing
this by excluding the reclaing stripes in the check.

It is important to be able to flush all stripes in raid5-cache.
Therefore, we need reserve some space on the journal device for
these flushes. If flush operation includes pending writes to the
stripe, we need to reserve (conf->raid_disk + 1) pages per stripe
for the flush out. This reduces the efficiency of journal space.
If we exclude these pending writes from flush operation, we only
need (conf->max_degraded + 1) pages per stripe.
With this patch, when log space is critical (R5C_LOG_CRITICAL=1),
pending writes will be excluded from stripe flush out. Therefore,
we can reduce reserved space for flush out and thus improve journal
device efficiency.

Chunk aligned read significantly reduces CPU usage of raid456.
However, it is not safe to fully bypass the write back cache.
This patch enables chunk aligned read with write back cache.
For chunk aligned read, we track stripes in write back cache at
a bigger granularity, "big_stripe". Each chunk may contain more
than one stripe (for example, a 256kB chunk contains 64 4kB-page,
so this chunk contain 64 stripes). For chunk_aligned_read, these
stripes are grouped into one big_stripe, so we only need one lookup
for the whole chunk.
For each big_stripe, struct big_stripe_info tracks how many stripes
of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. We count how many
stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. These
counters are tracked in a radix tree (big_stripe_tree).
r5c_tree_index() is used to calculate keys for the radix tree.
chunk_aligned_read() calls r5c_big_stripe_cached() to look up
big_stripe of each chunk in the tree. If this big_stripe is in the
tree, chunk_aligned_read() aborts. This look up is protected by
rcu_read_lock().
It is necessary to remember whether a stripe is counted in
big_stripe_tree. Instead of adding new flag, we reuses existing flags:
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE. If either of these
two flags are set, the stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. This
requires moving set_bit(STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE) to
r5c_try_caching_write(); and moving clear_bit of
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE to
r5c_finish_stripe_write_out().

We made raid5 stripe handling multi-thread before. It works well for
SSD. But for harddisk, the multi-threading creates more disk seek, so
not always improve performance. For several hard disks based raid5,
multi-threading is required as raid5d becames a bottleneck especially
for sequential write.
To overcome the disk seek issue, we only dispatch IO from raid5d if the
array is harddisk based. Other threads can still handle stripes, but
can't dispatch IO.
Idealy, we should control IO dispatching order according to IO position
interrnally. Right now we still depend on block layer, which isn't very
efficient sometimes though.
My setup has 9 harddisks, each disk can do around 180M/s sequential
write. So in theory, the raid5 can do 180 * 8 = 1440M/s sequential
write. The test machine uses an ATOM CPU. I measure sequential write
with large iodepth bandwidth to raid array:
without patch: ~600M/s
without patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 750M/s
with patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 950M/s
with patch, group_thread_cnt=4, skip_copy=1: 1150M/s
We are pretty close to the maximum bandwidth in the large iodepth
iodepth case. The performance gap of small iodepth sequential write
between software raid and theory value is still very big though, because
we don't have an efficient pipeline.
