* tag 'md/4.1-rc5-fixes' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md: fix race when unfreezing sync_action
md/raid5: break stripe-batches when the array has failed.
md/raid5: call break_stripe_batch_list from handle_stripe_clean_event
md/raid5: be more selective about distributing flags across batch.
md/raid5: add handle_flags arg to break_stripe_batch_list.
md/raid5: duplicate some more handle_stripe_clean_event code in break_stripe_batch_list
md/raid5: remove condition test from check_break_stripe_batch_list.
md/raid5: Ensure a batch member is not handled prematurely.
md/raid5: close race between STRIPE_BIT_DELAY and batching.
md/raid5: ensure whole batch is delayed for all required bitmap updates.
A recent change removed the need for locking around writing
to "sync_action" (and various other places), but introduced a
subtle race.
When e.g. setting 'reshape' on a 'frozen' array, the 'frozen'
flag is cleared before 'reshape' is set, so the md thread can
get in and start trying recovery - which isn't wanted.
So instead of clearing MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN for any command
except 'frozen', only clear it when each specific command
is parsed. This allows the handling of 'reshape' to clear
the bit while a lock is held.
Also remove some places where we set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED,
as it is always set on non-error exit of the function.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().
Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.
Since:
commit c4db59d31e
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().
The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains
> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'
We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.
Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

When md notices non-sync IO happening while it is trying
to resync (or reshape or recover) it slows down to the
set minimum.
The default minimum might have made sense many years ago
but the drives have become faster. Changing the default
to match the times isn't really a long term solution.
This patch changes the code so that instead of waiting until the speed
has dropped to the target, it just waits until pending requests
have completed.
This means that the delay inserted is a function of the speed
of the devices.
Testing shows that:
- for some loads, the resync speed is unchanged. For those loads
increasing the minimum doesn't change the speed either.
So this is a good result. To increase resync speed under such
loads we would probably need to increase the resync window
size.
- for other loads, resync speed does increase to a reasonable
fraction (e.g. 20%) of maximum possible, and throughput of
the load only drops a little bit (e.g. 10%)
- for other loads, throughput of the non-sync load drops quite a bit
more. These seem to be latency-sensitive loads.
So it isn't a perfect solution, but it is mostly an improvement.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.
The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.
So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.
This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.

There is really no need for sync_min to be a multiple of
chunk_size, and values read from here often aren't.
That means you cannot read a value and expect to be able
to write it back later.
So remove the chunk_size check, and round down to a multiple
of 4K, to be sure everything works with 4K-sector devices.

When "re-add" is writted to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state,
the clustered md:
1. Sends RE_ADD message with the desc_nr. Nodes receiving the message
clear the Faulty bit in their respective rdev->flags.
2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes
and copies them into the local bitmap. It does not clear the bitmap
from which it is copying.
3. Initiating node schedules a md recovery to sync the devices.

This adds the capability of re-adding a failed disk by
writing "re-add" to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state.
This facilitates adding disks which have encountered a temporary
error such as a network disconnection/hiccup in an iSCSI device,
or a SAN cable disconnection which has been restored. In such
a situation, you do not need to remove and re-add the device.
Writing re-add to the failed device's state would add it again
to the array and perform the recovery of only the blocks which
were written after the device failed.
This works for generic md, and is not related to clustering. However,
this patch is to ease re-add operations listed above in clustering

If ->run() fails, it can either free the data structures it
allocated, or leave that task to ->free() which will be called
on failures.
However:
md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which
causes problems in some personalities.
raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data,
which will become a problem when we fix md.c
So better fix both these issues at once.

Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
was found:
ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
disc.number set to slot number)
ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.

When a node joins, it does not know of other nodes performing resync.
So, each node keeps the resync information in it's LVB. When a new
node joins, it reads the LVB of each "online" bitmap.
[TODO] The new node attempts to get the PW lock on other bitmap, if
it is successful, it reads the bitmap and performs the resync (if
required) on it's behalf.
If the node does not get the PW, it requests CR and reads the LVB

DLM offers callbacks when a node fails and the lock remastery
is performed:
1. recover_prep: called when DLM discovers a node is down
2. recover_slot: called when DLM identifies the node and recovery
can start
3. recover_done: called when all nodes have completed recover_slot
recover_slot() and recover_done() are also called when the node joins
initially in order to inform the node with its slot number. These slot
numbers start from one, so we deduct one to make it start with zero

Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
is accessing the ->private data
2/ it frees the ->private data.
All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.
So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further. So the
name is inappropriate.
Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.
So:
-rename write_lock to lock
-document what it protects
-remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq). This can be
cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

Merge tag 'md/3.19' of git://neil.brown.name/md
Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
"Three fixes for md.
I did have a largish set of locking changes queued, but late testing
showed they weren't quite as stable as I thought and while I fixed
what I found, I decided it safer to delay them a release ...
particularly as I'll be AFK for a few weeks. So expect a larger batch
next time :-)"
* tag 'md/3.19' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md: Check MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING as well as ->sync_thread.
md: fix semicolon.cocci warnings
md/raid5: fetch_block must fetch all the blocks handle_stripe_dirtying wants.
A recent change to md started the ->sync_thread from a asynchronously
from a work_queue rather than synchronously. This means that there
can be a small window between the time when MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
and when ->sync_thread is set.
So code that checks ->sync_thread might now conclude that the thread
has not been started and (because a lock is held) will not be started.
That is no longer the case.
Most of those places are best fixed by testing MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
as well. To make this completely reliable, we wake_up(&resync_wait)
after clearing that flag as well as after clearing ->sync_thread.
Other places are better served by flushing the relevant workqueue
to ensure that that if the sync thread was starting, it has now
started. This is particularly best if we are about to stop the
sync thread.
