raid5: delete unnecessary warnning

2016-04-29T21:18:03+00:00

If device has R5_LOCKED set, it's legit device has R5_SkipCopy set and page !=
orig_page. After R5_LOCKED is clear, handle_stripe_clean_event will clear the
SkipCopy flag and set page to orig_page. So the warning is unnecessary.

md/raid5: Cleanup cpu hotplug notifier

2016-03-17T21:30:15+00:00

The raid456_cpu_notify() hotplug callback lacks handling of the
CPU_UP_CANCELED case. That means if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails, the scratch
buffer is leaked.

Add handling for CPU_UP_CANCELED[_FROZEN] hotplug notifier transitions
to free the scratch buffer.

md/raid5: output stripe state for debug

2016-03-09T18:08:38+00:00

Neil recently fixed an obscure race in break_stripe_batch_list. Debug would be
quite convenient if we know the stripe state. This is what this patch does.

md/raid5: preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE in break_stripe_batch_list

2016-03-09T17:31:41+00:00

break_stripe_batch_list breaks up a batch and copies some flags from
the batch head to the members, preserving others.

It doesn't preserve or copy STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.  This is not
normally a problem as STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is cleared when a
stripe_head is added to a batch, and is not set on stripe_heads
already in a batch.

However there is no locking to ensure one thread doesn't set the flag
after it has just been cleared in another.  This does occasionally happen.

md/raid5 maintains a count of the number of stripe_heads with
STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE set: conf->preread_active_stripes.  When
break_stripe_batch_list clears STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE inadvertently
this could becomes incorrect and will never again return to zero.

md/raid5 delays the handling of some stripe_heads until
preread_active_stripes becomes zero.  So when the above mention race
happens, those stripe_heads become blocked and never progress,
resulting is write to the array handing.

So: change break_stripe_batch_list to preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE
in the members of a batch.

RAID5: revert e9e4c377e2f563 to fix a livelock

2016-02-26T17:44:56+00:00

Revert commit
e9e4c377e2f563(md/raid5: per hash value and exclusive wait_for_stripe)

The problem is raid5_get_active_stripe waits on
conf->wait_for_stripe[hash]. Assume hash is 0. My test release stripes
in this order:
- release all stripes with hash 0
- raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps since active_stripes >
  max_nr_stripes * 3 / 4
- release all stripes with hash other than 0. active_stripes becomes 0
- raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps, since nobody wakes up
  wait_for_stripe[0]
The system live locks. The problem is active_stripes isn't a per-hash
count. Revert the patch makes the live lock go away.

RAID5: check_reshape() shouldn't call mddev_suspend

2016-02-26T17:44:11+00:00

check_reshape() is called from raid5d thread. raid5d thread shouldn't
call mddev_suspend(), because mddev_suspend() waits for all IO finish
but IO is handled in raid5d thread, we could easily deadlock here.

This issue is introduced by
738a273 ("md/raid5: fix allocation of 'scribble' array.")

md/raid5: Compare apples to apples (or sectors to sectors)

2016-02-26T00:38:53+00:00

'max_discard_sectors' is in sectors, while 'stripe' is in bytes.

This fixes the problem where DISCARD would get disabled on some larger
RAID5 configurations (6 or more drives in my testing), while it worked
as expected with smaller configurations.

raid5-cache: add journal hot add/remove support

2016-01-06T00:39:57+00:00

Add support for journal disk hot add/remove. Mostly trival checks in md
part. The raid5 part is a little tricky. For hot-remove, we can't wait
pending write as it's called from raid5d. The wait will cause deadlock.
We simplily fail the hot-remove. A hot-remove retry can success
eventually since if journal disk is faulty all pending write will be
failed and finish. For hot-add, since an array supporting journal but
without journal disk will be marked read-only, we are safe to hot add
journal without stopping IO (should be read IO, while journal only
handles write IO).

md/raid5: remove redundant check in stripe_add_to_batch_list()

2016-01-06T00:38:22+00:00

The stripe_add_to_batch_list() function is called only if
stripe_can_batch() returned true, so there is no need for double check.
