We already attempt to fix read errors found during normal IO
and a 'repair' process.
It is best to try to repair them at any time they are found,
so move a test so that during sync and check a read error will
be corrected by over-writing with good data.
If both (all) devices have known bad blocks in the sync section we
won't try to fix even though the bad blocks might not overlap. That
should be considered later.
Also if we hit a read error during recovery we don't try to fix it.
It would only be possible to fix if there were at least three copies
of data, which is not very common with RAID10. But it should still
be considered later.

When recovering one or more devices, if all the good devices have
bad blocks we should record a bad block on the device being rebuilt.
If this fails, we need to abort the recovery.
To ensure we don't think that we aborted later than we actually did,
we need to move the check for MD_RECOVERY_INTR earlier in md_do_sync,
in particular before mddev->curr_resync is updated.

During resync/recovery limit the size of the request to avoid
reading into a bad block that does not start at-or-before the current
read address.
Similarly if there is a bad block at this address, don't allow the
current request to extend beyond the end of that bad block.
Now that we don't ever read from known bad blocks, it is safe to allow

This patch just covers the basic read path:
1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only
the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available
there.
2/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
device, but can still be served by the array.
This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
On read error we currently just fail the request if another target
cannot handle the whole request. Next patch refines that a bit.

If we get an uncorrectable read error - record a bad block rather than
failing the device.
And if these errors (which may be due to known bad blocks) cause
recovery to be impossible, record a bad block on the recovering
devices, or abort the recovery.
As we might abort a recovery without failing a device we need to teach
RAID5 about recovery_disabled handling.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
There are two times that we might read in raid5:
1/ when a read request fits within a chunk on a single
working device.
In this case, if there is any bad block in the range of
the read, we simply fail the cache-bypass read and
perform the read though the stripe cache.
2/ when reading into the stripe cache. In this case we
mark as failed any device which has a bad block in that
strip (1 page wide).
Note that we will both avoid reading and avoid writing.
This is correct (as we will never read from the block, there
is no point writing), but not optimal (as writing could 'fix'
the error) - that will be addressed later.
If we have not seen any write errors on the device yet, we treat a bad
block like a recent read error. This will encourage an attempt to fix
the read error which will either generate a write error, or will
ensure good data is stored there. We don't yet forget the bad block
in that case. That comes later.
Now that we honour bad blocks when reading we can allow devices with
bad blocks into the array.

It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.
If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.
We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.
This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.
It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.
When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).
We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata. This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed. Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.
Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.
The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks. So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.
Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1. For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.
So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.
This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.
