<content type='text'>
The helper will be used in later patches for raid1/raid10/raid5, the
difference is that Faulty rdev with unacknowledged bad block will not
be considered blocked.

<title>Merge branch 'md-6.12-bitmap' into md-6.12</title>

From Yu Kuai (with minor changes by Song Liu):

The background is that currently bitmap is using a global spin_lock,
causing lock contention and huge IO performance degradation for all raid
levels.

However, it's impossible to implement a new lock free bitmap with
current situation that md-bitmap exposes the internal implementation
with lots of exported apis. Hence bitmap_operations is invented, to
describe bitmap core implementation, and a new bitmap can be introduced
with a new bitmap_operations, we only need to switch to the new one
during initialization.

And with this we can build bitmap as kernel module, but that's not
our concern for now.

This version was tested with mdadm tests and lvm2 tests. This set does
not introduce new errors in these tests.

<title>md: Remove flush handling</title>
<updated>2024-08-28T00:19:55+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Yu Kuai</name>
<email>yukuai3@huawei.com</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=b75197e86e6d3de4e611869ef30a27cf414a5f77'/>
<id>b75197e86e6d3de4e611869ef30a27cf414a5f77</id>
<content type='text'>
For flush request, md has a special flush handling to merge concurrent
flush request into single one, however, the whole mechanism is based on
a disk level spin_lock 'mddev-&gt;lock'. And fsync can be called quite
often in some user cases, for consequence, spin lock from IO fast path can
cause performance degradation.

Fortunately, the block layer already has flush handling to merge
concurrent flush request, and it only acquires hctx level spin lock. (see
details in blk-flush.c)

This patch removes the flush handling in md, and converts to use general
block layer flush handling in underlying disks.

Flush test for 4 nvme raid10:
start 128 threads to do fsync 100000 times, on arm64, see how long it
takes.

Test script:
void* thread_func(void* arg) {
    int fd = *(int*)arg;
    for (int i = 0; i &lt; FSYNC_COUNT; i++) {
        fsync(fd);
    }
    return NULL;
}

int main() {
    int fd = open("/dev/md0", O_RDWR);
    if (fd &lt; 0) {
        perror("open");
        exit(1);
    }

    pthread_t threads[THREADS];
    struct timeval start, end;

    gettimeofday(&amp;start, NULL);

    for (int i = 0; i &lt; THREADS; i++) {
        pthread_create(&amp;threads[i], NULL, thread_func, &amp;fd);
    }

    for (int i = 0; i &lt; THREADS; i++) {
        pthread_join(threads[i], NULL);
    }

    gettimeofday(&amp;end, NULL);

    close(fd);

    long long elapsed = (end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) * 1000000LL + (end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec);
    printf("Elapsed time: %lld microseconds\n", elapsed);

    return 0;
}

Test result: about 10 times faster:
Before this patch: 50943374 microseconds
After this patch:  5096347  microseconds

Now that struct bitmap_page and bitmap is not used externally anymore,
move them from md-bitmap.h to md-bitmap.c (expect that dm-raid is still
using define marco 'COUNTER_MAX').

Also fix some checkpatch warnings.

<content type='text'>
The md driver wants to enforce a number of flags for all devices, even
when not inheriting them from the underlying devices.  To make sure these
flags survive the queue_limits_set calls that md uses to update the
queue limits without deriving them form the previous limits add a new
md_init_stacking_limits helper that calls blk_set_stacking_limits and sets
these flags.

Move the integrity information into the queue limits so that it can be
set atomically with other queue limits, and that the sysfs changes to
the read_verify and write_generate flags are properly synchronized.
This also allows to provide a more useful helper to stack the integrity
fields, although it still is separate from the main stacking function
as not all stackable devices want to inherit the integrity settings.
Even with that it greatly simplifies the code in md and dm.

Note that the integrity field is moved as-is into the queue limits.
While there are good arguments for removing the separate blk_integrity
structure, this would cause a lot of churn and might better be done at a
later time if desired.  However the integrity field in the queue_limits
structure is now unconditional so that various ifdefs can be avoided or
replaced with IS_ENABLED().  Given that tiny size of it that seems like
a worthwhile trade off.

For different sync_action, sync_thread will use different max_sectors,
see details in md_sync_max_sectors(), currently both md_do_sync() and
pers-&gt;sync_request() in eatch iteration have to get the same
max_sectors. Hence pass in max_sectors for pers-&gt;sync_request() to
prevent redundant code.
