<title>md/raid5: per hash value and exclusive wait_for_stripe</title>

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe() with fsmark
multiple thread write workloads.

Here is how this hot contention comes from. We have limited stripes, and
it's a multiple thread write workload. Hence, those stripes will be taken
soon, which puts later processes to sleep for waiting free stripes. When
enough stripes(&gt;= 1/4 total stripes) are released, all process are woken,
trying to get the lock. But there is one only being able to get this lock
for each hash lock, making other processes spinning out there for acquiring
the lock.

Thus, it's effectiveless to wakeup all processes and let them battle for
a lock that permits one to access only each time. Instead, we could make
it be a exclusive wake up: wake up one process only. That avoids the heavy
spin lock contention naturally.

To do the exclusive wake up, we've to split wait_for_stripe into multiple
wait queues, to make it per hash value, just like the hash lock.

Here are some test results I have got with this patch applied(all test run
3 times):

               the size of one ramdisk. So, it would be 48G in total. And we made a
               raid on those ramdisk

As you can see, though there are no much performance gain for hard disk
workload, the system time is dropped heavily, up to 97%. And as expected,
the performance increased a lot, up to 260%, for fast device(ram disk).

v2: use bits instead of array to note down wait queue need to wake up.

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe(), introduced
at being wake up stage, where a bunch of processes try to re-hold the
spin lock again.

After giving some thoughts on this issue, I found the lock could be
relieved(and even avoided) if we turn the wait_for_stripe to per
waitqueue for each lock hash and make the wake up exclusive: wake up
one process each time, which avoids the lock contention naturally.

Before go hacking with wait_for_stripe, I found it actually has 2
usages: for the array to enter or leave the quiescent state, and also
to wait for an available stripe in each of the hash lists.

So this patch splits the first usage off into a separate wait_queue,
wait_for_quiescent, and the next patch will turn the second usage into
one waitqueue for each hash value, and make it exclusive, to relieve
the lock contention.

v2: wake_up(wait_for_quiescent) when (active_stripes == 0)
    Commit log refactor suggestion from Neil.

<title>md: make sure MD_RECOVERY_DONE is clear before starting recovery/resync</title>

MD_RECOVERY_DONE is normally cleared by md_check_recovery after a
resync etc finished.  However it is possible for raid5_start_reshape
to race and start a reshape before MD_RECOVERY_DONE is cleared.  This
can lean to multiple reshapes running at the same time, which isn't
good.

To make sure it is cleared before starting a reshape, and also clear
it when reaping a thread, just to be safe.

MD_RECOVERY_DONE is normally cleared by md_check_recovery after a
resync etc finished.  However it is possible for raid5_start_reshape
to race and start a reshape before MD_RECOVERY_DONE is cleared.  This
can lean to multiple reshapes running at the same time, which isn't
good.

it when reaping a thread, just to be safe.

Once the array has too much failure, we need to break
stripe-batches up so they can all be dealt with.

<title>md/raid5: call break_stripe_batch_list from handle_stripe_clean_event</title>

Now that the code in break_stripe_batch_list() is nearly identical
to the end of handle_stripe_clean_event, replace the later
with a function call.

The only remaining difference of any interest is the masking that is
applieds to dev[i].flags copied from head_sh.
R5_WriteError certainly isn't wanted as it is set per-stripe, not
per-patch.  R5_Overlap isn't wanted as it is explicitly handled.

<title>md/raid5: be more selective about distributing flags across batch.</title>

When a batch of stripes is broken up, we keep some of the flags
that were per-stripe, and copy other flags from the head to all
others.

This only happens while a stripe is being handled, so many of the
flags are irrelevant.

The "SYNC_FLAGS" (which I've renamed to make it clear there are
several) and STRIPE_DEGRADED are set per-stripe and so need to be
preserved.  STRIPE_INSYNC is the only flag that is set on the head
that needs to be propagated to all others.

For safety, add a WARN_ON if others are set, except:
 STRIPE_HANDLE - this is safe and per-stripe and we are going to set
      in several cases anyway
 STRIPE_INSYNC
 STRIPE_IO_STARTED - this is just a hint and doesn't hurt.
 STRIPE_ON_PLUG_LIST
 STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST - It is a point pointless for a batched
           stripe to be on one of these lists, but it can happen
           as can be safely ignored.

When we break a stripe_batch_list we sometimes want to set
STRIPE_HANDLE on the individual stripes, and sometimes not.

So pass a 'handle_flags' arg.  If it is zero, always set STRIPE_HANDLE
(on non-head stripes).  If not zero, only set it if any of the given
flags are present.

break_stripe_batch list didn't clear head_sh-&gt;batch_head.
This was probably a bug.

Also clear all R5_Overlap flags and if any were cleared, wake up
'wait_for_overlap'.
This isn't always necessary but the worst effect is a little
extra checking for code that is waiting on wait_for_overlap.

Also, don't use wake_up_nr() because that does the wrong thing
if 'nr' is zero, and it number of flags cleared doesn't
strongly correlate with the number of threads to wake.

handle_stripe_clean_event() contains a chunk of code very
similar to check_break_stripe_batch_list().
If we make the latter more like the former, we can end up
with just one copy of this code.

This  first step removed the condition (and the 'check_') part
of the name.  This has the added advantage of making it clear
what check is being performed at the point where the function is
called.
