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.

write-back cache in degraded mode introduces corner cases to the array.
Although we try to cover all these corner cases, it is safer to just
disable write-back cache when the array is in degraded mode.
In this patch, we disable writeback cache for degraded mode:
1. On device failure, if the array enters degraded mode, raid5_error()
will submit async job r5c_disable_writeback_async to disable
writeback;
2. In r5c_journal_mode_store(), it is invalid to enable writeback in
degraded mode;
3. In r5c_try_caching_write(), stripes with s->failed>0 will be handled
in write-through mode.

Write back cache requires a complex RMW mechanism, where old data is
read into dev->orig_page for prexor, and then xor is done with
dev->page. This logic is already implemented in the write path.
However, current read path is not awared of this requirement. When
the array is optimal, the RMW is not required, as the data are
read from raid disks. However, when the target stripe is degraded,
complex RMW is required to generate right data.
To keep read path as clean as possible, we handle read path by
flushing degraded, in-journal stripes before processing reads to
missing dev.
Specifically, when there is read requests to a degraded stripe
with data in journal, handle_stripe_fill() calls
r5c_make_stripe_write_out() and exits. Then handle_stripe_dirtying()
will do the complex RMW and flush the stripe to RAID disks. After
that, read requests are handled.
There is one more corner case when there is non-overwrite bio for
the missing (or out of sync) dev. handle_stripe_dirtying() will not
be able to process the non-overwrite bios without constructing the
data in handle_stripe_fill(). This is fixed by delaying non-overwrite
bios in handle_stripe_dirtying(). So handle_stripe_fill() works on
these bios after the stripe is flushed to raid disks.

Fortunately this not happens in default configuration because several
other limits prevent that: stripe_cache_size * nr_disks effectively
limits count of active stripes. And small max_sectors_kb at lower
disks prevent that during normal read/write operations.
Overflow easily happens in discard if it's enabled by module parameter

There are two limited resources, stripe cache and journal disk space.
For better performance, we priotize reclaim of full stripe writes.
To free up more journal space, we free earliest data on the journal.
In current implementation, reclaim happens when:
1. Periodically (every R5C_RECLAIM_WAKEUP_INTERVAL, 30 seconds) reclaim
if there is no reclaim in the past 5 seconds.
2. when there are R5C_FULL_STRIPE_FLUSH_BATCH (256) cached full stripes,
or cached stripes is enough for a full stripe (chunk size / 4k)
(r5c_check_cached_full_stripe)
3. when there is pressure on stripe cache (r5c_check_stripe_cache_usage)
4. when there is pressure on journal space (r5l_write_stripe, r5c_cache_data)
r5c_do_reclaim() contains new logic of reclaim.
For stripe cache:
When stripe cache pressure is high (more than 3/4 stripes are cached,
or there is empty inactive lists), flush all full stripe. If fewer
than R5C_RECLAIM_STRIPE_GROUP (NR_STRIPE_HASH_LOCKS * 2) full stripes
are flushed, flush some paritial stripes. When stripe cache pressure
is moderate (1/2 to 3/4 of stripes are cached), flush all full stripes.
For log space:
To avoid deadlock due to log space, we need to reserve enough space
to flush cached data. The size of required log space depends on total
number of cached stripes (stripe_in_journal_count). In current
implementation, the writing-out phase automatically include pending
data writes with parity writes (similar to write through case).
Therefore, we need up to (conf->raid_disks + 1) pages for each cached
stripe (1 page for meta data, raid_disks pages for all data and
parity). r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() calculates log space
required to flush cache. In the following, we refer to the space
calculated by r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() as
reclaim_required_space.
Two flags are added to r5conf->cache_state: R5C_LOG_TIGHT and
R5C_LOG_CRITICAL. R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set when free space on the log
device is less than 3x of reclaim_required_space. R5C_LOG_CRITICAL
is set when free space on the log device is less than 2x of
reclaim_required_space.
r5c_cache keeps all data in cache (not fully committed to RAID) in
a list (stripe_in_journal_list). These stripes are in the order of their
first appearance on the journal. So the log tail (last_checkpoint)
should point to the journal_start of the first item in the list.
When R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set, r5l_reclaim_thread starts flushing out
stripes at the head of stripe_in_journal. When R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is
set, the state machine only writes data that are already in the
log device (in stripe_in_journal_list).

As described in previous patch, write back cache operates in two
phases: caching and writing-out. The caching phase works as:
1. write data to journal
(r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying, r5c_cache_data)
2. call bio_endio
(r5c_handle_data_cached, r5c_return_dev_pending_writes).
Then the writing-out phase is as:
1. Mark the stripe as write-out (r5c_make_stripe_write_out)
2. Calcualte parity (reconstruct or RMW)
3. Write parity (and maybe some other data) to journal device
4. Write data and parity to RAID disks
This patch implements caching phase. The cache is integrated with
stripe cache of raid456. It leverages code of r5l_log to write
data to journal device.
Writing-out phase of the cache is implemented in the next patch.
With r5cache, write operation does not wait for parity calculation
and write out, so the write latency is lower (1 write to journal
device vs. read and then write to raid disks). Also, r5cache will
reduce RAID overhead (multipile IO due to read-modify-write of
parity) and provide more opportunities of full stripe writes.
This patch adds 2 flags to stripe_head.state:
- STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE,
- STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE,
Instead of inactive_list, stripes with cached data are tracked in
r5conf->r5c_full_stripe_list and r5conf->r5c_partial_stripe_list.
STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE are flags for
stripes in these lists. Note: stripes in r5c_full/partial_stripe_list
are not considered as "active".
For RMW, the code allocates an extra page for each data block
being updated. This is stored in r5dev->orig_page and the old data
is read into it. Then the prexor calculation subtracts ->orig_page
from the parity block, and the reconstruct calculation adds the
->page data back into the parity block.
r5cache naturally excludes SkipCopy. When the array has write back
cache, async_copy_data() will not skip copy.
There are some known limitations of the cache implementation:
1. Write cache only covers full page writes (R5_OVERWRITE). Writes
of smaller granularity are write through.
2. Only one log io (sh->log_io) for each stripe at anytime. Later
writes for the same stripe have to wait. This can be improved by
moving log_io to r5dev.
3. With writeback cache, read path must enter state machine, which
is a significant bottleneck for some workloads.
4. There is no per stripe checkpoint (with r5l_payload_flush) in
the log, so recovery code has to replay more than necessary data
(sometimes all the log from last_checkpoint). This reduces
availability of the array.

This patch adds state machine for raid5-cache. With log device, the
raid456 array could operate in two different modes (r5c_journal_mode):
- write-back (R5C_MODE_WRITE_BACK)
- write-through (R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH)
Existing code of raid5-cache only has write-through mode. For write-back
cache, it is necessary to extend the state machine.
With write-back cache, every stripe could operate in two different
phases:
- caching
- writing-out
In caching phase, the stripe handles writes as:
- write to journal
- return IO
In writing-out phase, the stripe behaviors as a stripe in write through
mode R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH.
STRIPE_R5C_CACHING is added to sh->state to differentiate caching and
writing-out phase.
Please note: this is a "no-op" patch for raid5-cache write-through
mode.
The following detailed explanation is copied from the raid5-cache.c:
/*
* raid5 cache state machine
*
* With rhe RAID cache, each stripe works in two phases:
* - caching phase
* - writing-out phase
*
* These two phases are controlled by bit STRIPE_R5C_CACHING:
* if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 0, the stripe is in writing-out phase
* if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 1, the stripe is in caching phase
*
* When there is no journal, or the journal is in write-through mode,
* the stripe is always in writing-out phase.
*
* For write-back journal, the stripe is sent to caching phase on write
* (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying). r5c_make_stripe_write_out() kicks off
* the write-out phase by clearing STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.
*
* Stripes in caching phase do not write the raid disks. Instead, all
* writes are committed from the log device. Therefore, a stripe in
* caching phase handles writes as:
* - write to log device
* - return IO
*
* Stripes in writing-out phase handle writes as:
* - calculate parity
* - write pending data and parity to journal
* - write data and parity to raid disks
* - return IO for pending writes

Yi reported a memory leak of raid5 with DIF/DIX enabled disks. raid5
doesn't alloc/free bio, instead it reuses bios. There are two issues in
current code:
1. the code calls bio_init (from
init_stripe->raid5_build_block->bio_init) then bio_reset (ops_run_io).
The bio is reused, so likely there is integrity data attached. bio_init
will clear a pointer to integrity data and makes bio_reset can't release

Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break

After array enters in faulty state (e.g. number of failed drives
becomes more then accepted for raid5 level) it sets error flags
(one of this flags is MD_CHANGE_PENDING). For internal metadata
arrays MD_CHANGE_PENDING cleared into md_update_sb, but not for
external metadata arrays. MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag set prevents to
finish all new or non-finished IOs to array and hold them in
pending state. In some cases this can leads to deadlock situation.
For example, we have faulty array (2 of 4 drives failed) and
udev handle array state changes and blkid started (or other
userspace application that used array to read/write) but unable
to finish reads due to IO hold. At the same time we unable to get
exclusive access to array (to stop array in our case) because
another external application still use this array.
Fix makes possible to return IO with errors immediately.
So external application can finish working with array and
give exclusive access to other applications to perform
required management actions with array.

The counter conf->empty_inactive_list_nr is only used for determine if the

It was increased in get_free_stripe() when conf->inactive_list got to be
empty and decreased in release_inactive_stripe_list() when splice

problem when raid5_get_active_stripe or stripe_add_to_batch_list was called,

Every time a device is removed with ->hot_remove_disk() a synchronize_rcu() call is made
which can delay several milliseconds in some case.
If lots of devices fail at once - as could happen with a large RAID10 where one set
of devices are removed all at once - these delays can add up to be very inconcenient.
As failure is not reversible we can check for that first, setting a
separate flag if it is found, and then all synchronize_rcu() once for
all the flagged devices. Then ->hot_remove_disk() function can skip the
synchronize_rcu() step if the flag is set.

2. setting MD_CHANGE_PENDING and waking the management thread
3. waiting for MD_CHANGE_PENDING to be cleared
If the first two are done without locking, the code in md_update_sb()

Neil recently fixed an obscure race in break_stripe_batch_list. Debug would be
quite convenient if we know the stripe state. This is what this patch does.
Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
break_stripe_batch_list breaks up a batch and copies some flags from
the batch head to the members, preserving others.
It doesn't preserve or copy STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE. This is not
normally a problem as STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is cleared when a
stripe_head is added to a batch, and is not set on stripe_heads
already in a batch.
However there is no locking to ensure one thread doesn't set the flag
after it has just been cleared in another. This does occasionally happen.
md/raid5 maintains a count of the number of stripe_heads with
STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE set: conf->preread_active_stripes. When
break_stripe_batch_list clears STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE inadvertently
this could becomes incorrect and will never again return to zero.
md/raid5 delays the handling of some stripe_heads until
preread_active_stripes becomes zero. So when the above mention race
happens, those stripe_heads become blocked and never progress,
resulting is write to the array handing.
So: change break_stripe_batch_list to preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE
in the members of a batch.

2/ The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from

"RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash
during degraded operations cannot result in data
corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a

and in some cases throughput increased by
performing more full-stripe writes.

This is the reclaim support for raid5 log. A stripe write will have
following steps:
1. reconstruct the stripe, read data/calculate parity. ops_run_io
prepares to write data/parity to raid disks
2. hijack ops_run_io. stripe data/parity is appending to log disk
3. flush log disk cache
4. ops_run_io run again and do normal operation. stripe data/parity is
written in raid array disks. raid core can return io to upper layer.
5. flush cache of all raid array disks
6. update super block
7. log disk space used by the stripe can be reused
In practice, several stripes consist of an io_unit and we will batch
several io_unit in different steps, but the whole process doesn't
change.
It's possible io return just after data/parity hit log disk, but then
read IO will need read from log disk. For simplicity, IO return happens
at step 4, where read IO can directly read from raid disks.
Currently reclaim run if there is specific reclaimable space (1/4 disk
size or 10G) or we are out of space. Reclaim is just to free log disk
spaces, it doesn't impact data consistency. The size based force reclaim
is to make sure log isn't too big, so recovery doesn't scan log too
much.
Recovery make sure raid disks and log disk have the same data of a
stripe. If crash happens before 4, recovery might/might not recovery
stripe's data/parity depending on if data/parity and its checksum
matches. In either case, this doesn't change the syntax of an IO write.
After step 3, stripe is guaranteed recoverable, because stripe's
data/parity is persistent in log disk. In some cases, log disk content
and raid disks content of a stripe are the same, but recovery will still
copy log disk content to raid disks, this doesn't impact data
consistency. space reuse happens after superblock update and cache
flush.
There is one situation we want to avoid. A broken meta in the middle of
a log causes recovery can't find meta at the head of log. If operations
require meta at the head persistent in log, we must make sure meta
before it persistent in log too. The case is stripe data/parity is in
log and we start write stripe to raid disks (before step 4). stripe
data/parity must be persistent in log before we do the write to raid
disks. The solution is we restrictly maintain io_unit list order. In
this case, we only write stripes of an io_unit to raid disks till the
io_unit is the first one whose data/parity is in log.
The io_unit list order is important for other cases too. For example,
some io_unit are reclaimable and others not. They can be mixed in the
list, we shouldn't reuse space of an unreclaimable io_unit.

This introduces a simple log for raid5. Data/parity writing to raid
array first writes to the log, then write to raid array disks. If
crash happens, we can recovery data from the log. This can speed up
raid resync and fix write hole issue.
The log structure is pretty simple. Data/meta data is stored in block
unit, which is 4k generally. It has only one type of meta data block.
The meta data block can track 3 types of data, stripe data, stripe
parity and flush block. MD superblock will point to the last valid
meta data block. Each meta data block has checksum/seq number, so
recovery can scan the log correctly. We store a checksum of stripe
data/parity to the metadata block, so meta data and stripe data/parity
can be written to log disk together. otherwise, meta data write must
wait till stripe data/parity is finished.
For stripe data, meta data block will record stripe data sector and
size. Currently the size is always 4k. This meta data record can be made
simpler if we just fix write hole (eg, we can record data of a stripe's
different disks together), but this format can be extended to support
caching in the future, which must record data address/size.
For stripe parity, meta data block will record stripe sector. It's
size should be 4k (for raid5) or 8k (for raid6). We always store p
parity first. This format should work for caching too.
flush block indicates a stripe is in raid array disks. Fixing write
hole doesn't need this type of meta data, it's for caching extension.

When a stripe finishes construction, we write the stripe to raid in
ops_run_io normally. With log, we do a bunch of other operations before
the stripe is written to raid. Mainly write the stripe to log disk,
flush disk cache and so on. The operations are still driven by raid5d
and run in the stripe state machine. We introduce a new state for such
stripe (trapped into log). The stripe is in this state from the time it
first enters ops_run_io (finish construction) to the time it is written
to raid. Since we know the state is only for log, we bypass other
check/operation in handle_stripe.

Suspending the entire device for resync could take too long. Resync
in small chunks.
cluster's resync window (32M) is maintained in r1conf as
cluster_sync_low and cluster_sync_high and processed in
raid1's sync_request(). If the current resync is outside the cluster
resync window:
1. Set the cluster_sync_low to curr_resync_completed.
2. Check if the sync will fit in the new window, if not issue a
wait_barrier() and set cluster_sync_low to sector_nr.
3. Set cluster_sync_high to cluster_sync_low + resync_window.
4. Send a message to all nodes so they may add it in their suspension
list.
bitmap_cond_end_sync is modified to allow to force a sync inorder
to get the curr_resync_completed uptodate with the sector passed.

handle_stripe() has special handling for raid6 for handle_stripe_fill().

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
faster. From Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
condition.
- Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
for a while, and testing them. Ming also did a few fixes around
that.

When a write to one of the devices of a RAID5/6 fails, the failure is
recorded in the metadata of the other devices so that after a restart
the data on the failed drive wont be trusted even if that drive seems
to be working again (maybe a cable was unplugged).
Similarly when we record a bad-block in response to a write failure,
we must not let the write complete until the bad-block update is safe.
Currently there is no interlock between the write request completing
and the metadata update. So it is possible that the write will
complete, the app will confirm success in some way, and then the
machine will crash before the metadata update completes.
This is an extremely small hole for a racy to fit in, but it is
theoretically possible and so should be closed.
So:
- set MD_CHANGE_PENDING when requesting a metadata update for a
failed device, so we can know with certainty when it completes
- queue requests that completed when MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set to
only be processed after the metadata update completes
- call raid_end_bio_io() on bios in that queue when the time comes.

It is possible (though unlikely) for a reshape to be
interrupted between the time that end_reshape is called
and the time when raid5_finish_reshape is called.
This can leave conf->reshape_progress set to MaxSector,
but mddev->reshape_position not.
This combination confused reshape_request() when ->reshape_backwards.
As conf->reshape_progress is so high, it seems the reshape hasn't
really begun. But assuming MaxSector is a valid address only
leads to sorrow.
So ensure reshape_position and reshape_progress both agree,
and add an extra check in reshape_request() just in case they don't.

While it generally shouldn't happen, it is not impossible for
curr_resync_completed to exceed resync_max.
This can particularly happen when reshaping RAID5 - the current
status isn't copied to curr_resync_completed promptly, so when it
is, it can exceed resync_max.
This happens when the reshape is 'frozen', resync_max is set low,
and reshape is re-enabled.
Taking a difference between two unsigned numbers is always dangerous
anyway, so add a test to behave correctly if
curr_resync_completed > resync_max

This code is calculating:
writepos, which is the furthest along address (device-space) that we
*will* be writing to
readpos, which is the earliest address that we *could* possible read
from, and
safepos, which is the earliest address in the 'old' section that we
might read from after a crash when the reshape position is
recovered from metadata.
The first is a precise calculation, so clipping at zero doesn't
make sense. As the reshape position is now guaranteed to always be
a multiple of reshape_sectors and as we already BUG_ON when
reshape_progress is zero, there is no point in this min_t() call.
The readpos and safepos are worst case - actual value depends on
precise geometry. That worst case could be negative, which is only
a problem because we are storing the value in an unsigned.
So leave the min_t() for those.

When reshaping, we work in units of the largest chunk size.
If changing from a larger to a smaller chunk size, that means we
reshape more than one stripe at a time. So the required alignment
of reshape_position needs to take into account both the old
and new chunk size.
This means that both 'here_new' and 'here_old' are calculated with
respect to the same (maximum) chunk size, so testing if they are the
same when delta_disks is zero becomes pointless.

The chunk_sectors and new_chunk_sectors fields of mddev can be changed
any time (via sysfs) that the reconfig mutex can be taken. So raid5
keeps internal copies in 'conf' which are stable except for a short
locked moment when reshape stops/starts.
So any access that does not hold reconfig_mutex should use the 'conf'
values, not the 'mddev' values.
Several don't.
This could result in corruption if new values were written at awkward
times.
Also use min() or max() rather than open-coding.

These aren't really needed when no reshape is happening,

md/raid5 only updates ->reshape_position (which is stored in
metadata and is authoritative) occasionally, but particularly
when getting closed to ->resync_max as it must be correct
when ->resync_max is reached.
When mdadm tries to stop an array which is reshaping it will:
- freeze the reshape,
- set resync_max to where the reshape has reached.
- unfreeze the reshape.
When this happens, the reshape is aborted and then restarted.
The restart doesn't check that resync_max is close, and so doesn't
update ->reshape_position like it should.
This results in the reshape stopping, but ->reshape_position being
incorrect.
So on that first call to reshape_request, make sure ->reshape_position
is updated if needed.

If a read request fits entirely in a chunk, it will be passed directly to the
underlying device (providing it hasn't failed of course). If it doesn't fit,
the slightly less efficient path that uses the stripe_cache is used.
Requests that get to the stripe cache are always completely split up as
necessary.
So with RAID5, ripping out the merge_bvec_fn doesn't cause it to stop work,
but could cause it to take the less efficient path more often.
All that is needed to manage this is for 'chunk_aligned_read' do some bio
splitting, much like the RAID0 code does.

Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.
It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
already handle those separately.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Cache size can grow or shrink due to various pressures at
any time. So when we resize the cache as part of a 'grow'
operation (i.e. change the size to allow more devices) we need
to blocks that automatic growing/shrinking.
So introduce a mutex. auto grow/shrink uses mutex_trylock()
and just doesn't bother if there is a blockage.
Resizing the whole cache holds the mutex to ensure that
the correct number of new stripes is allocated.
This bug can result in some stripes not being freed when an
array is stopped. This leads to the kmem_cache not being
freed and a subsequent array can try to use the same kmem_cache
and get confused.

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe() with fsmark
multiple thread write workloads.
Here is how this hot contention comes from. We have limited stripes, and
it's a multiple thread write workload. Hence, those stripes will be taken
soon, which puts later processes to sleep for waiting free stripes. When
enough stripes(>= 1/4 total stripes) are released, all process are woken,
trying to get the lock. But there is one only being able to get this lock
for each hash lock, making other processes spinning out there for acquiring
the lock.
Thus, it's effectiveless to wakeup all processes and let them battle for
a lock that permits one to access only each time. Instead, we could make
it be a exclusive wake up: wake up one process only. That avoids the heavy
spin lock contention naturally.
To do the exclusive wake up, we've to split wait_for_stripe into multiple
wait queues, to make it per hash value, just like the hash lock.
Here are some test results I have got with this patch applied(all test run
3 times):

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe(), introduced
at being wake up stage, where a bunch of processes try to re-hold the
spin lock again.
After giving some thoughts on this issue, I found the lock could be
relieved(and even avoided) if we turn the wait_for_stripe to per
waitqueue for each lock hash and make the wake up exclusive: wake up
one process each time, which avoids the lock contention naturally.
Before go hacking with wait_for_stripe, I found it actually has 2
usages: for the array to enter or leave the quiescent state, and also
to wait for an available stripe in each of the hash lists.
So this patch splits the first usage off into a separate wait_queue,
wait_for_quiescent, and the next patch will turn the second usage into
one waitqueue for each hash value, and make it exclusive, to relieve
the lock contention.

When a batch of stripes is broken up, we keep some of the flags
that were per-stripe, and copy other flags from the head to all
others.
This only happens while a stripe is being handled, so many of the
flags are irrelevant.
The "SYNC_FLAGS" (which I've renamed to make it clear there are
several) and STRIPE_DEGRADED are set per-stripe and so need to be
preserved. STRIPE_INSYNC is the only flag that is set on the head
that needs to be propagated to all others.
For safety, add a WARN_ON if others are set, except:
STRIPE_HANDLE - this is safe and per-stripe and we are going to set
in several cases anyway
STRIPE_INSYNC
STRIPE_IO_STARTED - this is just a hint and doesn't hurt.
STRIPE_ON_PLUG_LIST
STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST - It is a point pointless for a batched
stripe to be on one of these lists, but it can happen

If a stripe is a member of a batch, but not the head, it must
not be handled separately from the rest of the batch.
'clear_batch_ready()' handles this requirement to some
extent but not completely. If a member is passed to handle_stripe()
a second time it returns '0' indicating the stripe can be handled,

When we add a write to a stripe we need to make sure the bitmap
bit is set. While doing that the stripe is not locked so it could
be added to a batch after which further changes to STRIPE_BIT_DELAY
and ->bm_seq are ineffective.
So we need to hold off adding to a stripe until bitmap_startwrite has
completed at least once, and we need to avoid further changes to
STRIPE_BIT_DELAY once the stripe has been added to a batch.
If a bitmap_startwrite() completes after the stripe was added to a
batch, it will not have set the bit, only incremented a counter, so no
extra delay of the stripe is needed.

There is no need for special handling of stripe-batches when the array
is degraded.
There may be if there is a failure in the batch, but STRIPE_DEGRADED
does not imply an error.
So don't set STRIPE_BATCH_ERR in ops_run_io just because the array is
degraded.
This actually causes a bug: the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag gets cleared in
check_break_stripe_batch_list() and so the bitmap bit gets cleared
when it shouldn't.
So in check_break_stripe_batch_list(), split the batch up completely -
again STRIPE_DEGRADED isn't meaningful.
Also don't set STRIPE_BATCH_ERR when there is a write error to a
replacement device. This simply removes the replacement device and
requires no extra handling.

As the new 'scribble' array is sized based on chunk size,
we need to make sure the size matches the largest of 'old'
and 'new' chunk sizes when the array is undergoing reshape.
We also potentially need to resize it even when not resizing
the stripe cache, as chunk size can change without changing
number of devices.
So move the 'resize' code into a separate function, and
consider old and new sizes when allocating.

When array is degraded, read data landed on failed drives will result in
reading rest of data in a stripe. So a single sequential read would
result in same data being read twice.
This patch is to avoid chunk aligned read for degraded array. The
downside is to involve stripe cache which means associated CPU overhead
and extra memory copy.
Test Results:
Following test are done on a enterprise storage node with Seagate 6T SAS
drives and Xeon E5-2648L CPU (10 cores, 1.9Ghz), 10 disks MD RAID6 8+2,
chunk size 128 KiB.
I use FIO, using direct-io with various bs size, enough queue depth,
tested sequential and 100% random read against 3 array config:
1) optimal, as baseline;
2) degraded;
3) degraded with this patch.
Kernel version is 4.0-rc3.
Each individual test I only did once so there might be some variations,
but we just focus on big trend.
Sequential Read:
bs=(KiB) optimal(MiB/s) degraded(MiB/s) degraded-with-patch (MiB/s)

16 900 970 971
8 927 940 929
4 948 940 955
Some notes:
* In sequential + optimal, as bs size getting smaller, the FIO thread
become CPU bound.
* In sequential + degraded, there's big increase when bs is 64K and
32K, I don't have explanation.
* In sequential + degraded-with-patch, the MD thread mostly become CPU
bound.
If you want to we can discuss specific data point in those data. But in
general it seems with this patch, we have more predictable and in most
cases significant better sequential read performance when array is
degraded, and almost no noticeable impact on random read.
Performance is a complicated thing, the patch works well for this
particular configuration, but may not be universal. For example I
imagine testing on all SSD array may have very different result. But I
personally think in most cases IO bandwidth is more scarce resource than
CPU.

The default setting of 256 stripe_heads is probably
much too small for many configurations. So it is best to make it
auto-configure.
Shrinking the cache under memory pressure is easy. The only
interesting part here is that we put a fairly high cost
('seeks') on shrinking the cache as the cost is greater than
just having to read more data, it reduces parallelism.
Growing the cache on demand needs to be done carefully. If we allow
fast growth, that can upset memory balance as lots of dirty memory can
quickly turn into lots of memory queued in the stripe_cache.
It is important for the raid5 block device to appear congested to
allow write-throttling to work.
So we only add stripes slowly. We set a flag when an allocation
fails because all stripes are in use, allocate at a convenient
time when that flag is set, and don't allow it to be set again
until at least one stripe_head has been released for re-use.
This means that a spurt of requests will only cause one stripe_head
to be allocated, but a steady stream of requests will slowly
increase the cache size - until memory pressure puts it back again.
It could take hours to reach a steady state.
The value written to, and displayed in, stripe_cache_size is
used as a minimum. The cache can grow above this and shrink back
down to it. The actual size is not directly visible, though it can
be deduced to some extent by watching stripe_cache_active.

Rather than adjusting max_nr_stripes whenever {grow,drop}_one_stripe()
succeeds, do it inside the functions.
Also choose the correct hash to handle next inside the functions.
This removes duplication and will help with future new uses of
{grow,drop}_one_stripe.
This also fixes a minor bug where the "md/raid:%md: allocate XXkB"
message always said "0kB".

Depending on the available coding we allow optimized rmw logic for write
operations. To support easier testing this patch allows manual control
of the rmw/rcw descision through the interface /sys/block/mdX/md/rmw_level.
The configuration can handle three levels of control.
rmw_level=0: Disable rmw for all RAID types. Hardware assisted P/Q
calculation has no implementation path yet to factor in/out chunks of
a syndrome. Enforcing this level can be benefical for slow CPUs with
hardware syndrome support and fast SSDs.
rmw_level=1: Estimate rmw IOs and rcw IOs. Execute rmw only if we will
save IOs. This equals the "old" unpatched behaviour and will be the
default.
rmw_level=2: Execute rmw even if calculated IOs for rmw and rcw are
equal. We might have higher CPU consumption because of calculating the
parity twice but it can be benefical otherwise. E.g. RAID4 with fast
dedicated parity disk/SSD. The option is implemented just to be
forward-looking and will ONLY work with this patch!

Glue it altogehter. The raid6 rmw path should work the same as the
already existing raid5 logic. So emulate the prexor handling/flags
and split functions as needed.
1) Enable xor_syndrome() in the async layer.
2) Split ops_run_prexor() into RAID4/5 and RAID6 logic. Xor the syndrome
at the start of a rmw run as we did it before for the single parity.
3) Take care of rmw run in ops_run_reconstruct6(). Again process only
the changed pages to get syndrome back into sync.
4) Enhance set_syndrome_sources() to fill NULL pages if we are in a rmw
run. The lower layers will calculate start & end pages from that and
call the xor_syndrome() correspondingly.
5) Adapt the several places where we ignored Q handling up to now.

stripe cache is 4k size. Even adjacent full stripe writes are handled in 4k
unit. Idealy we should use big size for adjacent full stripe writes. Bigger
stripe cache size means less stripes runing in the state machine so can reduce
cpu overhead. And also bigger size can cause bigger IO size dispatched to under
layer disks.
With below patch, we will automatically batch adjacent full stripe write
together. Such stripes will be added to the batch list. Only the first stripe
of the list will be put to handle_list and so run handle_stripe(). Some steps
of handle_stripe() are extended to cover all stripes of the list, including
ops_run_io, ops_run_biodrain and so on. With this patch, we have less stripes
running in handle_stripe() and we send IO of whole stripe list together to
increase IO size.
Stripes added to a batch list have some limitations. A batch list can only
include full stripe write and can't cross chunk boundary to make sure stripes
have the same parity disks. Stripes in a batch list must be in the same state
(no written, toread and so on). If a stripe is in a batch list, all new
read/write to add_stripe_bio will be blocked to overlap conflict till the batch
list is handled. The limitations will make sure stripes in a batch list be in
exactly the same state in the life circly.
I did test running 160k randwrite in a RAID5 array with 32k chunk size and 6
PCIe SSD. This patch improves around 30% performance and IO size to under layer
disk is exactly 32k. I also run a 4k randwrite test in the same array to make
sure the performance isn't changed with the patch.

md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.
Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.
Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.
So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

It is important that mddev->private isn't freed while
a sysfs attribute function is accessing it.
So use mddev->lock to protect the setting of ->private to NULL, and

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
rename is accordingly.
Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using

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
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was
introduced).

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.
So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use

If not, we know it is safe to call the function.

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.

That last condition is unclear and over cautious.
There are two related issues here.
If a partial write is destined for a missing device, then
either RMW or RCW can work. We must read all the available
block. Only then can the missing blocks be calculated, and
then the parity update performed.
If RMW is not an option, then there is a complication even
without partial writes. If we would need to read a missing
device to perform the reconstruction, then we must first read every
block so the missing device data can be computed.
This is the case for RAID6 (Which currently does not support
RMW) and for times when we don't trust the parity (after a crash)
and so are in the process of resyncing it.
So make these two cases more clear and separate, and perform
the relevant tests more thoroughly.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
