      md/bitmap: update dirty flag when bitmap bits are explicitly set. · ffa23322
      NeilBrown authored 
      There is a sysfs file which allows bits in the write-intent
bitmap to be explicit set - indicating that the block is thought
to be 'dirty'.
When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards
to include the block to reflect this dirtiness.

In particular, a 'resync' process will refuse to start if
recovery_cp is beyond the end of the array, so this is needed
to allow a resync to be triggered.

      md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata. · ece5cff0
      NeilBrown authored 
      In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same
sector as the bitmap.
md will not read/write any bitmap metadata.  Config must be
done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded
again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in
the bitmap to be cleared again.

      md/bitmap: move setting of daemon_lastrun out of bitmap_read_sb · 624ce4f5
      NeilBrown authored 
      Setting daemon_lastrun really has nothing to do with reading
the bitmap superblock, it just happens to be needed at the same time.
bitmap_read_sb is about to become options, so move that code out
to after the call to bitmap_read_sb.

      md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs. · 43a70507
      NeilBrown authored 
      A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.

'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.

'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

      md: support bitmap offset appropriate for external-metadata arrays. · f6af949c
      NeilBrown authored 
      For md arrays were metadata is managed externally, the kernel does not
know about a superblock so the superblock offset is 0.
If we want to have a write-intent-bitmap near the end of the
devices of such an array, we should support sector_t sized offset.
We need offset be possibly negative for when the bitmap is before
the metadata, so use loff_t instead.

Also add sanity check that bitmap does not overlap with data.

      md: remove needless setting of thread->timeout in raid10_quiesce · 9cd30fdc
      NeilBrown authored 
      As bitmap_create and bitmap_destroy already set thread->timeout
as appropriate, there is no need to do it in raid10_quiesce.
There is a possible need to wake the thread after the timeout
has been set low, but it is better to do that where the timeout
is actually set low, in bitmap_create.

      md/raid5: don't complete make_request on barrier until writes are scheduled · 729a1866
      NeilBrown authored 
      The post-barrier-flush is sent by md as soon as make_request on the
barrier write completes.  For raid5, the data might not be in the
per-device queues yet.  So for barrier requests, wait for any
pre-reading to be done so that the request will be in the per-device
queues.

We use the 'preread_active' count to check that nothing is still in
the preread phase, and delay the decrement of this count until after
write requests have been submitted to the underlying devices.

      md: support barrier requests on all personalities. · a2826aa9
      NeilBrown authored 
      Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1.  This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.

When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device.  When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty -  we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.

The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.

The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail.  If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail.  That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.

RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet.  So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.

Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted.  Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.

That will be done in later patches.

So in that case, do not clear curr_resync_completed.

      NeilBrown authored 
      When a 'check' or 'repair' finished we should clear resync_min
so that a future check/repair will cover the whole array (by default).
However if it is interrupted, we should update resync_min to
where we got up to, so that when the check/repair continues it
just does the remainder of the array.

      md/bitmap: protect against bitmap removal while being updated. · aa5cbd10
      NeilBrown authored 
      A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap.  If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.

So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.

This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.
