md: changes for MD_STILL_CLOSED flag

2016-09-21T16:09:44+00:00

When stop clustered raid while it is pending on resync,
MD_STILL_CLOSED flag could be cleared since udev rule
is triggered to open the mddev. So obviously array can't
be stopped soon and returns EBUSY.

	mdadm -Ss          md-raid-arrays.rules
  set MD_STILL_CLOSED          md_open()
	... ... ...          clear MD_STILL_CLOSED
	do_md_stop

We make below changes to resolve this issue:

1. rename MD_STILL_CLOSED to MD_CLOSING since it is set
   when stop array and it means we are stopping array.
2. let md_open returns early if CLOSING is set, so no
   other threads will open array if one thread is trying
   to close it.
3. no need to clear CLOSING bit in md_open because 1 has
   ensure the bit is cleared, then we also don't need to
   test CLOSING bit in do_md_stop.

md: use seconds granularity for error logging

2016-07-19T18:00:47+00:00

The md code stores the exact time of the last error in the
last_read_error variable using a timespec structure. It only
ever uses the seconds portion of that though, so we can
use a scalar for it.

There won't be an overflow in 2038 here, because it already
used monotonic time and 32-bit is enough for that, but I've
decided to use time64_t for consistency in the conversion.

md: reduce the number of synchronize_rcu() calls when multiple devices fail.

2016-06-13T18:54:22+00:00

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.

block, drivers, fs: rename REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.

md-cluster: fix deadlock issue when add disk to an recoverying array

2016-06-03T23:22:59+00:00

Add a disk to an array which is performing recovery
is a little complicated, we need to do both reap the
sync thread and perform add disk for the case, then
it caused deadlock as follows.

			kthread_stop                    md_wakeup_thread(mddev->thread);
						wait_event(mddev->sb_wait, !test_bit(MD_CHANGE_PENDING))

md_check_recovery is triggered by wakeup mddev->thread,
but it can't clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag since it can't
get lock which was held by md_attr_store already.

To solve the deadlock problem, we move "->resync_finish()"
from md_do_sync to md_reap_sync_thread (after md_update_sb),
also MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is introduced since it is possible
that node can't get resync lock in md_do_sync.

Then we do not need to wait for MD_CHANGE_PENDING is cleared
or not since metadata should be updated after md_update_sb,
so just call resync_finish if MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is set.

We also unified the code after skip label, since set PENDING
for non-clustered case should be harmless.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

md/raid: only permit hot-add of compatible integrity profiles

2016-01-14T00:49:57+00:00

It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is
in-flight in the queue.  Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online
spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile.

The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in
md, commmit c7bfced9a671 "md: suspend i/o during runtime
blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression.

This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has
been established is shared with DM.

Here is an abbreviated log from a test run that:
1/ Creates a degraded raid1 with an integrity-enabled device (pmem0s) [   59.076127]
