c64d240df3 dm: fix Kconfig indentation
Since DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is a DM_PERSISTENT_DATA config option
move it from drivers/md/Kconfig to drivers/md/persistent-data/Kconfig.

Doing so fixes indentation for other DM config options.

2995fa78e4 dm sysfs: fix a module unload race
This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is
released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix.

The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).

To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.

The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

9d0eb0ab43 dm: add switch target
dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices
efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions
but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping
representation such as dm-stripe.

Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell
EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as
possible in the hope that others may benefit.

Originally developed by Jim Ramsay. Simplified by Mikulas Patocka.

Remove debug space map checker from dm persistent data.

The space map checker is a wrapper for other space maps that double
checks the reference counts are correct.  It holds all these reference
counts in memory rather than on disk, so uses a lot of memory and is
thus restricted to small pools.

As yet, this checker hasn't found any issues, but has caused a few of

991d9fa02d dm: add thin provisioning target
Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support.  The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target.  The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices.  This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.

The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).

Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...).  The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth).  This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

For further information and examples of how to use this, please read
Documentation/device-mapper/thin-provisioning.txt

95d402f057 dm: add bufio
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.

We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
* we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
* we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks

Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
available memory.  Usage can be viewed and changed in
/sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .

The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

b12d437b73 dm raid: support metadata devices
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid.  Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable.  They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.

The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock.  This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks.  RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded.  It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed.  Fault handling is impossible
without this field.  For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock.  If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed.  This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

9d09e663d5 dm: raid456 basic support
This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be
the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1).  It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456
drivers.

As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE).  The CTR table looks like the following:

1: <s> <l> raid \
2:	<raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
3:	<#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN>

Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields.  The target type in
this case is "raid".

Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments.  Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc.  (again, raid1 is
planned for the future.)  The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types.  The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
 <chunk_size>		Chunk size in sectors.
 [[no]sync]		Force/Prevent RAID initialization
 [rebuild <idx>]	Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
 [daemon_sleep <ms>]	Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
 [min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>]	Throttle RAID initialization
 [max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>]	Throttle RAID initialization
 [max_write_behind <value>]		See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
 [stripe_cache <sectors>]		Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs

Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs.  If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position.  If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.

Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
	raid4 1 2048 \
	5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81

# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
#	min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
        raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
        5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81

Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).

Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array.  The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2:	<raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>

Line 1 is standard DM output.  Line 2 is best shown by example:
	0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

ac6b53b6e6 md/raid6: asynchronous raid6 operations
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]

The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.

The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case
except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others
are supported:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
 - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
 - generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
 - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT
 - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
 - verify that the parity is correct

The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely:

cb3c82992f async_tx: raid6 recovery self test
Port drivers/md/raid6test/test.c to use the async raid6 recovery
routines.  This is meant as a unit test for raid6 acceleration drivers.  In
addition to the 16-drive test case this implements tests for the 4-disk and
5-disk special cases (dma devices can not generically handle less than 2
sources), and adds a test for the D+Q case.

f5db4af466 dm raid1: add userspace log
This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.

The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h.  Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.

The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage.   A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption.  Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.

(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done.  Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

f392ba889b dm mpath: add service time load balancer
This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.

The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time.  If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to

This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way

cfae5c9bb6 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipath
This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.

This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
handler are ignored.

One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)

Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.

9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.

Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST

9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

There is still duplication, e.g.  between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6.
This will probably be cleaned up later.

6f91fe88e4 [PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned
reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned.  So swap with
new_level.

NOTE: this is a user-visible change.  However:
  - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
  - This code is still marked 'experimental'
  - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
  - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
    tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
    first second of the reshape process.

So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe.  Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

292695531a [PATCH] md: Final stages of raid5 expand code
This patch adds raid5_reshape and end_reshape which will start and finish the
reshape processes.

raid5_reshape is only enabled in CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE is set, to discourage
accidental use.

Read the 'help' for the CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE entry.

and Make sure that you have backups, just in case.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
