2006-05-01[PATCH] md: Fix 'rdev->nr_pending' count when retrying barrier requestsNeilBrown
When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference in ->nr_pending over the whole retry. Currently, we only hold the reference if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it would normally be the first to finish. So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch. As the rdev isn't used in the later code, calling rdev_dec_pending earlier doesn't hurt.

2006-03-31[PATCH] md: Don't clear bits in bitmap when writing to one device fails ↵NeilBrown
during recovery Currently a device failure during recovery leaves bits set in the bitmap. This normally isn't a problem as the offending device will be rejected because of errors.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Checkpoint and allow restart of raid5 reshapeNeilBrown
We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices. When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect. When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let user-space worry about it.

The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10 currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make. So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: better handling for read error in raid1 during resyncNeilBrown
Handling of read errors during resync is separate from handling of read errors during normal IO in raid1. A previous patch added support for read errors during normal IO. This one adds support for read errors during resync or recovery. The key differences are that we don't need to freeze the array, because the normal handling of resync means that this part of the array will be idle except for resync, and the read/overwrite/re-read is needed in a separate piece of code.

Then we try writing the good data back everywhere and make sure it works. If any write or subsequent read fails, only then do we fail the device out of the array. To be able to suspend the array, we need to also keep track of how many requests are queued for handling by raid1d.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: move bitmap_create to after md array has been initialisedNeilBrown
This is important because bitmap_create uses mddev->resync_max_sectors and that doesn't have a valid value until after the array has been initialised (with pers->run()). [It doesn't make a difference for current personalities that support bitmaps, but will make a difference for raid10] This has the added advantage of meaning with can move the thread->timeout manipulation inside the bitmap.c code instead of sprinkling identical code throughout all personalities.

2005-11-28[PATCH] md: fix --re-add for raid1 and raid6NeilBrown
If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of 'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the correct check. For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot on --re-add rather than always the first slot.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: support BIO_RW_BARRIER for md/raid1NeilBrown
We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle barriers, and that can, of course, change with time.... So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers, and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers. We initially assumes barriers are OK. When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly. If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag. When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this, and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find. We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid. It should only happen if: 1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices change like this, though raid1 can! or 2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io) when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.
