* [PATCH] md: Clear clevel whenever level is set.NeilBrown2006-01-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'level' of an md array can be set as either a number of a string. When one is set, the other must be marked 'undefined'. This wasn't being done in one place: where new arrays are created. Result: if md1 is a raid1, it is stopped and a raid5 is created there, it might still appear to be a raid1.

* [PATCH] md: remove slashes from disk names when creation dev names in sysfsNeil Brown2006-01-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | e.g. The sx8 driver uses names like sx8/0. This would make a md component dev name like /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sx8/0 which is not allowed. So we change the '/' to '!' just like fs/partitions/check.c(register_disk) does.

* [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device methodChristoph Hellwig2006-01-091-19/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

* [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown2006-01-061-50/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

* [PATCH] md: make /proc/mdstat pollableNeilBrown2006-01-061-5/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing, and devices being added and removed. It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that: We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if only for EOF). We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect it as an exceptional event. Not only are these exceptional events, but that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events (It also polls after a timeout). (We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts). Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file is read, rather than when poll() returns an event. This is more robust as it means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the program clearly responds to that activity. md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a read-error we suspend the array, then synchronously read the block from other arrays until we find one where we can read it. Then we try writing the good data back everywhere and make sure it works. If any write or subsequent read fails, only then do we fail the device out of the array. To be able to suspend the array, we need to also keep track of how many requests are queued for handling by raid1d.

* [PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting ↵NeilBrown2005-11-181-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | happens when request completes md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is taken from disk_stats. disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations. We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without substantial code changes. So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for in-flight resync. This should be fixed up. For now, this simple patch fixes the problem. Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync at bay.

So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set to '1' at boot, at module load, or via /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives. The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | devices on an MD array. With version-0.90 superblock, component devices on an md device to not have any stable name related to the array -(version-1 assigns a fixed index when a device is added to an array, and this remains despit any hot-swap). The intial code for making these devices appear in sysfs used dynamic names, which would change whenever a hot-spare was swapped for a failed or missing device. This turns out not to be practical in sysfs for a number of reasons. This patch changes then naming of component devices to be based on the result of 'bdevname'. This is stable and should be unique.

* [PATCH] md: support BIO_RW_BARRIER for md/raid1NeilBrown2005-11-091-16/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle barriers, and that can, of course, change with time.... So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers, and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers. We initially assumes barriers are OK. When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly. If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag. When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this, and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find. We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid. It should only happen if: 1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices change like this, though raid1 can! or 2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

* [PATCH] md: make md on-disk bitmaps not host-endianNeilBrown2005-11-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Current bitmaps use set_bit et.al and so are host-endian, which means not-portable. Oops. Define a new version number (4) for which bitmaps are little-endian.

* [PATCH] md: improvements to raid5 handling of read errorsNeilBrown2005-11-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Two refinements to the 'attempt-overwrite-on-read-error' mechanism. 1/ If the array is read-only, don't attempt an over-write. 2/ If there are more than max_nr_stripes read errors on a device with no success, fail the drive. This will make sure a dead drive will be eventually kicked even when we aren't trying to rewrite (which would normally kick a dead drive more quickly.

* [PATCH] md: change raid5 sysfs attribute to not create a new directoryNeilBrown2005-11-091-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There isn't really a need for raid5 attributes to be an a subdirectory, so this patch moves them from /sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/attribute to /sys/block/mdX/md/attribute This suggests that all md personalities should co-operate about namespace usage, but that shouldn't be a problem.
