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

2016-01-14T03:15:14+00:00

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]
2/ Tries to add an integrity-disabled device (pmem1m) [   90.489209]
