A few have performance impacts which hould mostly be positive, but RAID5 (in particular) can be very work-load ensitive... We'll have to wait and see. Highlights: - "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using DLM. Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if used. However it is looking good and mostly done and having in mainline will help co-ordinate development. - RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit. - RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should help performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices. - RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically. The value set is used as a minimum. - Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when there is competing IO. How much faster depends on the speed of the devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to some extent" * tag 'md/4.1' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (58 commits) md/raid5: don't do chunk aligned read on degraded array. md/raid5: allow the stripe_cache to grow and shrink. md/raid5: change ->inactive_blocked to a bit-flag. md/raid5: move max_nr_stripes management into grow_one_stripe and drop_one_stripe md/raid5: pass gfp_t arg to grow_one_stripe() md/raid5: introduce configuration option rmw_level md/raid5: activate raid6 rmw feature md/raid6 algorithms: xor_syndrome() for SSE2 md/raid6 algorithms: xor_syndrome() for generic int md/raid6 algorithms: improve test program md/raid6 algorithms: delta syndrome functions raid5: handle expansion/resync case with stripe batching raid5: handle io error of batch list RAID5: batch adjacent full stripe write raid5: track overwrite disk count raid5: add a new flag to track if a stripe can be batched raid5: use flex_array for scribble data md raid0: access mddev->queue (request queue member) conditionally because it is not set when accessed from dm-raid md: allow resync to go faster when there is competing IO. md: remove 'go_faster' option from ->sync_request() ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. We capture all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device for later replay. There is a userspace utility to do this replay. The idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that the file system is always consistent.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option. Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

* dm: add era targetJoe Thornber2014-03-271-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit counter. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot. dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

* dm sysfs: fix a module unload raceMikulas Patocka2014-01-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix. The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns). To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is selected. The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of struct mapped_device to that code.

* dm: add thin provisioning targetJoe Thornber2011-10-311-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

* dm raid: support metadata devicesJonathan Brassow2011-08-021-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap. The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping, and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order: in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field variable 'failed_devices'.

It provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456 drivers. As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \ 3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN> Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in this case is "raid". Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la, raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (again, raid1 is planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs. The possible parameters are as follows: <chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors. [[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization [rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index [daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits [min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_write_behind <value>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm) [stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-' is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and data drives for a given position. Examples: # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity # No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info # Chunk size of 1MiB # (Lines separated for easy reading) 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 1 2048 \ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices) # Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization, # min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional parameters). Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and health of the array. The output is as follows: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio> Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example: 0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568 Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

| * dm raid1: add userspace logJonthan Brassow2009-06-221-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards requests to userspace for processing. The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency, diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for communication. The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk" and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible. (Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror. They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is done, not the second.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer, dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated service time for the incoming I/O. The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size by a performance value of each path. The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are considered equal.

* | md/raid456: distribute raid processing over multiple coresDan Williams2009-08-301-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the resources to handle stripe_head operations are allocated percpu it is possible for raid5d to distribute stripe handling over multiple cores. This conversion also adds a call to cond_resched() in the non-multicore case to prevent one core from getting monopolized for raid operations.

The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others are supported: STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK - generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache STRIPE_OP_CHECK - verify that the parity is correct The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely: 1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct) 2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate) 3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks) [neilb@suse.de: fixes to get it to pass mdadm regression suite] Reviewed-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Port drivers/md/raid6test/test.c to use the async raid6 recovery routines. This is meant as a unit test for raid6 acceleration drivers. In addition to the 16-drive test case this implements tests for the 4-disk and 5-disk special cases (dma devices can not generically handle less than 2 sources), and adds a test for the D+Q case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module (raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456 needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines. To support this move: 1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h 2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported 3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to compile Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
