Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

As release_stripe and __release_stripe decrement ->count and then
manipulate ->lru both under ->device_lock, it is important that
get_active_stripe() increments ->count and clears ->lru also under
->device_lock.
However we currently list_del_init ->lru under the lock, but increment
the ->count outside the lock. This can lead to races and list
corruption.
So move the atomic_inc(&sh->count) up inside the ->device_lock
protected region.
Note that we still increment ->count without device lock in the case
where get_free_stripe() was called, and in fact don't take
->device_lock at all in that path.
This is safe because if the stripe_head can be found by
get_free_stripe, then the hash lock assures us the no-one else could
possibly be calling release_stripe() at the same time.

Before a write starts we set a bit in the write-intent bitmap.
When the write completes we clear that bit if the write was successful
to all devices. However if the write wasn't fully successful we
should not clear the bit. If the faulty drive is subsequently
re-added, the fact that the bit is still set ensure that we will
re-write the data that is missing.
This logic is mediated by the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag - we only clear the
bitmap bit when this flag is not set.
Currently we correctly set the flag if a write starts when some
devices are failed or missing. But we do *not* set the flag if some
device failed during the write attempt.
This is wrong and can result in clearing the bit inappropriately.
So: set the flag when a write fails.
This bug has been present since bitmaps were introduces, so the fix is
suitable for any -stable kernel.

commit 6d183de407
md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.
simplified a BUG_ON, but removed too much so now it sometimes fires
when it shouldn't.
When the STRIPE_EXPANDING flag is set, the stripe_head might be on a
special list while multiple stripe_heads are collected, or it might
not be on any list, even a 'free' list when the refcount is zero. As
long as STRIPE_EXPANDING is set, it will be found and added back to a
list eventually.
So both of the BUG_ONs which test for the ->lru being empty or not
need to avoid the case where STRIPE_EXPANDING is set.
The patch which broke this was marked for -stable, so this patch needs
to be applied to any branch that received 6d183de4

commit 566c09c534 raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()
modified the locking in get_active_stripe() reducing the range
protected by the (highly contended) device_lock.
Unfortunately it reduced the range too much opening up some races.
One race can occur if get_priority_stripe runs between the
test on sh->count and device_lock being taken.
This will mean that sh->lru is not empty while get_active_stripe
thinks ->count is zero resulting in a 'BUG' firing.
Another race happens if __release_stripe is called immediately
after sh->count is tested and found to be non-zero. If STRIPE_HANDLE
is not set, get_active_stripe should increment ->active_stripes
when it increments ->count from 0, but as it didn't think it was 0,
it doesn't.
Extending device_lock to cover the test on sh->count close these
races.
While we are here, fix the two BUG tests:
-If count is zero, then lru really must not be empty, or we've
lock the stripe_head somehow - no other tests are relevant.
-STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST is completely independent of ->lru so
testing it is pointless.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.
So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.
Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two
paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is
stripe is found.
The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses
conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks,
conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded,
conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except
stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely.
With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free
stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined
by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a
lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which
is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current
stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned
to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl
list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new
locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash
locks, lock contention is relieved significantly.
The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are
changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash
locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem.
If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The
tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first.
Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it
to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to
temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash
lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which
means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe.
One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't
across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so
each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but
other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are
even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several
mega bytes memory isn't a big deal.
This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of
get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though
because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended,
the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second
path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size
randwrite) still has lock contentions.

contention.

pending stripes number. Note: some statistics info used in the patch

Some requests - particularly 'discard' and 'read' are handled
differently depending on whether a reshape is active or not.
It is harmless to assume reshape is active if it isn't but wrong
to act as though reshape is not active when it is.
So when we start reshape - after making clear to all requests that
reshape has started - use mddev_suspend/mddev_resume to flush out all
requests. This will ensure that no requests will be assuming the
absence of reshape once it really starts.

This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes.
This time I use workqueue.
raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size
aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a
state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks
of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The
state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one
thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is
multi-threading.
To get better performance, we have some requirements:
a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better
handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some
times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy.
local node running has wide adaptability.
b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent
configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean
better performance because of lock contentions.
My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are
interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And
userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility
and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool
implementation is disfavor.
Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be
bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to
do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in
affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running
thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node.
stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread
of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way,
stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread
number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical
work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the
unit is a stripe. But we can't do that:
a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting
and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make
workqueue lock contended very heavily.
b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we
might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block
plug is meaningless.
This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa
binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads.
Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might
decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends
on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might
not be proper for all setups.
Changes V1 -> V2:
1. remove WQ_NON_REENTRANT
2. disabling multi-threading by default
3. Add more descriptions in changelog

patch "make release_stripe lockless" changes the order stripes are released.
Originally I thought block layer can take care of request merge, but it appears
there are still some requests not merged. It's easy to fix the order.

release_stripe still has big lock contention. We just add the stripe to a llist
without taking device_lock. We let the raid5d thread to do the real stripe
release, which must hold device_lock anyway. In this way, release_stripe
doesn't hold any locks.
The side effect is the released stripes order is changed. But sounds not a big
deal, stripes are never handled in order. And I thought block layer can already
do nice request merge, which means order isn't that important.
I kept the unplug release batch, which is unnecessary with this patch from lock
contention avoid point of view, and actually if we delete it, the stripe_head
release_list and lru can share storage. But the unplug release batch is also
helpful for request merge. We probably can delay wakeup raid5d till unplug, but
I'm still afraid of the case which raid5d is running.

If a device in a RAID4/5/6 is being replaced while another is being
recovered, then the writes to the replacement device currently don't
happen, resulting in corruption when the replacement completes and the
new drive takes over.
This is because the replacement writes are only triggered when
's.replacing' is set and not when the similar 's.sync' is set (which
is the case during resync and recovery - it means all devices need to
be read).
So schedule those writes when s.replacing is set as well.
In this case we cannot use "STRIPE_INSYNC" to record that the
replacement has happened as that is needed for recording that any
parity calculation is complete. So introduce STRIPE_REPLACED to
record if the replacement has happened.
For safety we should also check that STRIPE_COMPUTE_RUN is not set.
This has a similar effect to the "s.locked == 0" test. The latter
ensure that now IO has been flagged but not started. The former
checks if any parity calculation has been flagged by not started.
We must wait for both of these to complete before triggering the
'replace'.
Add a similar test to the subsequent check for "are we finished yet".
This possibly isn't needed (is subsumed in the STRIPE_INSYNC test),
but it makes it more obvious that the REPLACE will happen before we
think we are finished.
Finally if a NeedReplace device is not UPTODATE then that is an
error. We really must trigger a warning.
This bug was introduced in commit 9a3e1101b8
(md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.)
which introduced replacement for raid5.
That was in 3.3-rc3, so any stable kernel since then would benefit
from this fix.

There is a bug in 'check_reshape' for raid5.c To checks
that the new minimum number of devices is large enough (which is
good), but it does so also after the reshape has started (bad).
This is bad because
- the calculation is now wrong as mddev->raid_disks has changed
already, and
- it is pointless because it is now too late to stop.
So only perform that test when reshape has not been committed to.

Merge tag 'md-3.10-fixes' of git://neil.brown.name/md
Pull md bugfixes from Neil Brown:
"A few bugfixes for md
Some tagged for -stable"
* tag 'md-3.10-fixes' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md/raid1,5,10: Disable WRITE SAME until a recovery strategy is in place
md/raid1,raid10: use freeze_array in place of raise_barrier in various places.
md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it.
md: md_stop_writes() should always freeze recovery.
There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME
command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact,
support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a
SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can
happen, including drive firmware bugs.
After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the
request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the
failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect
that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each
offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss.
However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't
ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should
be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs
to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero.
Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for
raid1, raid5, and raid10.
[neilb: added raid5]
This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same
support was added.

If we write to a known-bad-block it will be flags as having
a ReadError by analyse_stripe, but the write will proceed anyway
(as it should). Then the read-error handling will kick in an
write again, then re-read.
We don't need that 'write-again', so set R5_ReWrite so it looks like
it has already been done. Then we will just get the re-read, which we

This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
name. It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

A number of problems can occur due to races between
resync/recovery and discard.
- if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is
happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event
before all of the individual discard requests have completed
(so some devices are still locked, but not all).
Since commit ca64cae960
md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished.
this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device,
so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other
devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared.
This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up.
- If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward
time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks
in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is
one).
So:
- keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have
completed their discard request
- make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at
the same time.
This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is
happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a
discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up
the discard at the appropriate time.
Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for
any -stable kernel since 3.7.

MD RAID5: Fix kernel oops when RAID4/5/6 is used via device-mapper
Commit a9add5d (v3.8-rc1) added blktrace calls to the RAID4/5/6 driver.
However, when device-mapper is used to create RAID4/5/6 arrays, the
mddev->gendisk and mddev->queue fields are not setup. Therefore, calling
things like trace_block_bio_remap will cause a kernel oops. This patch
conditionalizes those calls on whether the proper fields exist to make
the calls. (Device-mapper will call trace_block_bio_remap on its own.)
This patch is suitable for the 3.8.y stable kernel.

Since commit 1ed850f356
md/raid5: make sure to_read and to_write never go negative.
It has been possible for handle_stripe_dirtying to be called
when there isn't actually any work to do.
It then calls schedule_reconstruction() which will set R5_LOCKED
on the parity block(s) even when nothing else is happening.
This then causes problems in do_release_stripe().
So add checks to schedule_reconstruction() so that if it doesn't
find anything to do, it just aborts.
This bug was introduced in v3.7, so the patch is suitable
for -stable kernels since then.
