Commit 57c67df(md/raid10: submit IO from originating thread instead of
md thread) submits bio directly for normal disks but not for replacement
disks. There is no point we shouldn't do this for replacement disks.

commit f5fe1b51905df7cfe4fdfd85c5fb7bc5b71a094f upstream.

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current-&gt;bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current-&gt;bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

<title>md/raid1/10: fix potential deadlock</title>

commit 61eb2b43b99ebdc9bc6bc83d9792257b243e7cb3 upstream.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:

1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current-&gt;bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current-&gt;bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer

If raise_barrier happens between 3 &amp; 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.

The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first.  Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"

Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current-&gt;bio_list.

<title>RAID10: ignore discard error</title>

This is the counterpart of raid10 fix. If a write error occurs, raid10
will try to rewrite the bio in small chunk size. If the rewrite fails,
raid10 will record the error in bad block. narrow_write_error will
always use WRITE for the bio, but actually it could be a discard. Since
discard bio hasn't payload, write the bio will cause different issues.
But discard error isn't fatal, we can safely ignore it. This is what
this patch does.

This issue should exist since discard is added, but only exposed with
recent arbitrary bio size feature.

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

RAID10 random read performance is lower than expected due to excessive spinlock
utilisation which is required mostly for rebuild/resync. Simplify allow_barrier
as it's in IO path and encounters a lot of unnecessary congestion.

As lower_barrier just takes a lock in order to decrement a counter, convert
counter (nr_pending) into atomic variable and remove the spin lock. There is
also a congestion for wake_up (it uses lock internally) so call it only when
it's really needed. As wake_up is not called constantly anymore, ensure process
waiting to raise a barrier is notified when there are no more waiting IOs.
