md/raid10: Handle write errors by updating badblock log.

2011-07-28T01:39:24+00:00

When we get a write error (in the data area, not in metadata),
update the badblock log rather than failing the whole device.

As the write may well be many blocks, we trying writing each
block individually and only log the ones which fail.

md/raid10: clear bad-block record when write succeeds.

2011-07-28T01:39:24+00:00

If we succeed in writing to a block that was recorded as
being bad, we clear the bad-block record.

This requires some delayed handling as the bad-block-list update has
to happen in process-context.

md/raid10: avoid reading from known bad blocks - part 1

2011-07-28T01:39:23+00:00

This patch just covers the basic read path:
 1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only
    the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available
    there.
 2/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
    different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
    could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
    device, but can still be served by the array.
    This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
    per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'

On read error we currently just fail the request if another target
cannot handle the whole request.  Next patch refines that a bit.

md/raid10: Make use of new recovery_disabled handling

2011-07-27T01:00:36+00:00

When we get a read error during recovery, RAID10 previously
arranged for the recovering device to appear to fail so that
the recovery stops and doesn't restart.  This is misleading and wrong.

Instead, make use of the new recovery_disabled handling and mark
the target device and having recovery disabled.

Add appropriate checks in add_disk and remove_disk so that devices
are removed and not re-added when recovery is disabled.

md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.

2010-06-24T03:33:24+00:00

Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).

This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.

Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.

So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

md: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macro

2009-06-16T06:54:21+00:00

Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful.
I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private,
than have to know what the macro does.

So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

md: move lots of #include lines out of .h files and into .c

2009-03-31T03:33:13+00:00

This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving
md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h

Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include
other files.

md: move headers out of include/linux/raid/

2009-03-31T03:27:03+00:00

Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and
bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for
hacking and not far away.  md.h is left where it is for now as there
are some uses from the outside.
