2006-01-06[PATCH] md: improve raid10 "IO Barrier" conceptNeilBrown
raid10 needs to put up a barrier to new requests while it does resync or other background recovery. The code for this is currently open-coded, slighty obscure by its use of two waitqueues, and not documented.

2006-01-06[PATCH] make dm-mirror not issue invalid resync requestsDarrick J. Wong
I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on 2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem. The configuration in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors. I set up the dm_mirror table as such: 0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0 If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes across both SCSI disks. The sector count of the dm device is less than the size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end. However, I always get the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table: attempt to access beyond end of device sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584 Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive. I traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which gets called when we're putting the mirror set together. This function calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync. The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c. The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e. the bit is 0), which is where the problem occurs. If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1 (which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter (lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32! I don't know if this is intentional, but i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior. In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and return 0. Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync areas outside of the RAID1 region. Seeing as the HostRAID metadata lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area is not a good idea. I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if there's a reason for the current behavior.

2005-12-15[SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie
- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

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.

2005-11-28[PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'NeilBrown
raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half) to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential read performance. Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays. With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0 with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still very slow.

It is set to RH_DIRTY in rh_inc, but not if it is already so. The changes to 'pending', the state, and the region's inclusion in the clean list need to be atomicly.

2005-11-22[PATCH] device-mapper: mirror log bitset fixAlasdair G Kergon
The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned long". dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t). The patch below fixes this problem. The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64 and can prevent pvmove terminating. In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1. Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would be 0 0 0 0 X X X X On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area). 0 0 0 0 X X X X ^ here which hasn't been cleared properly. As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the 'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete. It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means that they cannot safely be moved between computers with Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-22[PATCH] device-mapper: list_versions fixAlasdair G Kergon
In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission. This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed to supply the actual size.) Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'. Consequently, 'lvcreate --type error' doesn't work.

2005-11-18[PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting ↵NeilBrown
happens when request completes md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is taken from disk_stats. disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations. We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without substantial code changes. So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for in-flight resync. This should be fixed up. For now, this simple patch fixes the problem. Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync at bay.

(Thus current code shows a link to the whole device, whether we are using a partition or not, which is wrong).

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: allow md arrays to be started read-only (module parameter).NeilBrown
When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may commense. This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image. So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set to '1' at boot, at module load, or via /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives. The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: Remove attempt to use dynamic names in sysfs for component ↵NeilBrown
devices on an MD array. With version-0.90 superblock, component devices on an md device to not have any stable name related to the array -(version-1 assigns a fixed index when a device is added to an array, and this remains despit any hot-swap). The intial code for making these devices appear in sysfs used dynamic names, which would change whenever a hot-spare was swapped for a failed or missing device. This turns out not to be practical in sysfs for a number of reasons. This patch changes then naming of component devices to be based on the result of 'bdevname'. This is stable and should be unique.
