Without this, we get qla2xxx complaining about "ISP System Error".

What's happening here is the firmware is detecting a Xfer-ready from the

918f02383f md: make sure a re-add after a restart honours bitmap when resyncing
Commit 1757128438 was slightly bad.  If an array
has a write-intent bitmap, and you remove a drive, then readd it, only the
changed parts should be resynced.  However after the above commit, this only
works if the array has not been shut down and restarted.

This is because it sets 'fullsync' at little more often than it should.  This
patch is more careful.

4ad1366376 md: change bitmap_unplug and others to void functions
bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void.  Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.

write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked.  It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.

When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.

bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.

So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

f0a50d3754 md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async expand ops
When a stripe is being expanded bulk copying takes place to move the data
from the old stripe to the new.  Since raid5_run_ops only operates on one
stripe at a time these bulk copies are handled in-line under the stripe
lock.  In the dma offload case we poll for the completion of the operation.

After the data has been copied into the new stripe the parity needs to be
recalculated across the new disks.  We reuse the existing postxor
functionality to carry out this calculation.  By setting STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
without setting STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN the completion path in handle stripe
can differentiate expand operations from normal write operations.

b5e98d65d3 md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async read ops

marked R5_UPTODATE, then a read (biofill) operation is scheduled to copy
the data from the stripe cache to the bio buffer.  handle_stripe flags the
blocks to be operated on with the R5_Wantfill flag.  If new read requests
arrive while raid5_run_ops is running they will not be handled until
handle_stripe is scheduled to run again.

e89f89629b md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async check ops
Check operations are scheduled when the array is being resynced or an
explicit 'check/repair' command was sent to the array.  Previously check
operations would destroy the parity block in the cache such that even if
parity turned out to be correct the parity block would be marked
!R5_UPTODATE at the completion of the check.  When the operation can be
carried out by a dma engine the assumption is that it can check parity as a
read-only operation.  If raid5_run_ops notices that the check was handled
by hardware it will preserve the R5_UPTODATE status of the parity disk.

When a check operation determines that the parity needs to be repaired we
reuse the existing compute block infrastructure to carry out the operation.
Repair operations imply an immediate write back of the data, so to
differentiate a repair from a normal compute operation the
STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD flag is added.

f38e12199a md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async compute ops
handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when
it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the
other up-to-date blocks.

Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in
handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block.  With the raid5_run_ops
implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside
the lock.  To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the
dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute
and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it
were up-to-date.  raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready
before it is used in another operation.

However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent
operation are scheduled at the same time.  If a previous call to
handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the
async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops.  The
req_compute variable protects against this case.

* remove the req_compute BUG_ON

e33129d841 md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async write ops
After handle_stripe5 decides whether it wants to perform a
read-modify-write, or a reconstruct write it calls
handle_write_operations5.  A read-modify-write operation will perform an
xor subtraction of the blocks marked with the R5_Wantprexor flag, copy the
new data into the stripe (biodrain) and perform a postxor operation across
all up-to-date blocks to generate the new parity.  A reconstruct write is run
when all blocks are already up-to-date in the cache so all that is needed
is a biodrain and postxor.

On the completion path STRIPE_OP_PREXOR will be set if the operation was a
read-modify-write.  The STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN flag is used in the completion
path to differentiate write-initiated postxor operations versus
expansion-initiated postxor operations.  Completion of a write triggers i/o
to the drives.

raid5_run_ops need a method to coherently gather work under the stripe-lock
and hand that work off to raid5_run_ops.  The 'get_stripe_work' routine
runs under the lock to read all the bits in sh->ops.pending that do not
have the corresponding bit set in sh->ops.ack.  This modified 'pending'
bitmap is then passed to raid5_run_ops for processing.

The transition from 'ack' to 'completion' does not need similar protection
as the existing release_stripe infrastructure will guarantee that
handle_stripe will run again after a completion bit is set, and
handle_stripe can tolerate a sh->ops.completed bit being set while the lock
is held.

A call to async_tx_issue_pending_all() is added to raid5d to kick the
offload engines once all pending stripe operations work has been submitted.
This enables batching of the submission and completion of operations.

91c0092484 md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock
When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following
attack plan:

1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock)
2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api

The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.

To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed
to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests.  In this
new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work,
updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and
calling raid5_run_ops for processing.  The following flags outline the
requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops:

STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
 - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
 - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_PREXOR
 - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
 - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
 - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
 - verify that the parity is correct
STRIPE_OP_IO
 - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside
   the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type

The flow is:
1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending
2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the
   operation to the async_tx api
3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set
   sh->ops.complete and release the stripe
4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit
   new operations that were previously blocked

Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per
major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this
routine.

Changelog:
* removed ops_complete_biodrain in favor of ops_complete_postxor and
  ops_complete_write.
* removed the raid5_run_ops workqueue
* call bi_end_io for reads in ops_complete_biofill, saves a call to
  handle_stripe
* explicitly handle the 2-disk raid5 case (xor becomes memcpy), Neil Brown
* fix race between async engines and bi_end_io call for reads, Neil Brown
* remove unnecessary spin_lock from ops_complete_biofill
* remove test_and_set/test_and_clear BUG_ONs, Neil Brown
* remove explicit interrupt handling for channel switching, this feature
  was absorbed (i.e. it is now implicit) by the async_tx api
* use return_io in ops_complete_biofill

a445685647 raid5: refactor handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 (v3)
handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the
various states of a stripe_head.  By introducing the 'stripe_head_state'
and 'r6_state' objects, large portions of the logic can be moved to
sub-routines.

'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously
stood alone in handle_stripe5,6.  'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6
specific variables like p_failed and q_failed.

One of the nice side effects of the 'stripe_head_state' change is that it
allows for further reductions in code duplication between raid5 and raid6.
The following new routines are shared between raid5 and raid6:

	handle_completed_write_requests
	handle_requests_to_failed_array
	handle_stripe_expansion

Changes:
* v2: fixed 'conf->raid_disk-1' for the raid6 'handle_stripe_expansion' path
* v3: removed the unused 'dirty' field from struct stripe_head_state
* v3: coalesced open coded bi_end_io routines into return_io()

9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.

Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton

fc1ff9588a dm raid1: handle log failure
When writing to a mirror, the log must be updated first.  Failure
to update the log could result in the log not properly reflecting
the state of the mirror if the machine should crash.

We change the return type of the rh_flush function to give us
the ability to check if a log write was successful.  If the
log write was unsuccessful, we fail the writes to avoid the
case where the log does not properly reflect the state of the
mirror.

A follow-up patch - which is dependent on the ability to
requeue I/O's to core device-mapper - will requeue the I/O's
for retry (allowing the mirror to be reconfigured.)

f44db678ed dm raid1: handle resync failures
Device-mapper mirroring currently takes a best effort approach to
recovery - failures during mirror synchronization are completely ignored.
This means that regions are marked 'in-sync' and 'clean' and removed
from the hash list.  Future reads and writes that query the region
will incorrectly interpret the region as in-sync.

This patch handles failures during the recovery process.  If a failure
occurs, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync' (aka RH_NOSYNC) and added
to a new list 'failed_recovered_regions'.

Regions on the 'failed_recovered_regions' list are not marked as 'clean'
upon removal from the list.  Furthermore, if the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS
flag is set, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync'.  This action prevents
any future read-balancing from choosing an invalid device because of the
'not-in-sync' status.

If "handle_errors" is not specified when creating a mirror (leaving the
DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag unset), failures will be ignored exactly as they
would be without this patch.  This is to preserve backwards compatibility with
user-space tools, such as 'pvmove'.  However, since future read-balancing
policies will rely on the correct sync status of a region, a user must choose
"handle_errors" when using read-balancing.

943317efdb dm raid1: clear region outside spinlock
A clear_region function is permitted to block (in practice, rare) but gets
called in rh_update_states() with a spinlock held.

The bits being marked and cleared by the above functions are used
to update the on-disk log, but are never read directly.  We can
perform these operations outside the spinlock since the
bits are only changed within one thread viz.
   - mark_region in rh_inc()
   - clear_region in rh_update_states().

So, we grab the clean_regions list items via list_splice() within the
spinlock and defer clear_region() until we iterate over the list for
deletion - similar to how the recovered_regions list is already handled.
We then move the flush() call down to ensure it encapsulates the changes
which are done by the later calls to clear_region().

435b71be20 md: improve the is_mddev_idle test
During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the
array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are.
This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it
sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't.

The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors
of resync io (disk->sync_io).  This has problems because total sectors gets
updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the
request is submitted.  The time difference can cause large differenced
between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity.  The test
currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it
is not enough.

The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or
negative.  This clearly is not needed.  Any non-sync activity will cause
the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so
we only need to look for a positive differences.

If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the
appearance of non-sync IO.  Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts
happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be
more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still
be suitably responsive.

dd00a99e7a md: avoid a possibility that a read error can wrongly propagate through md/raid1 to a filesystem.
When a raid1 has only one working drive, we want read error to propagate up

Currently the code perform this check is racy.  If a write and a read a
both submitted to a device on a 2-drive raid1, and the write fails followed
by the read failing, the read will see that there is only one working drive
and will pass the failure up, even though the one working drive is actually

44ce6294d0 Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"
This reverts commit 5b479c91da.

Quoth Neil Brown:

  "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't
   seem easy to fix.

   The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so
   bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops.

   This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been
   assembled just seems to get more and more painful.  I think I'm going
   to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward
   comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the
   rest of the kernel."

5b479c91da md: improve partition detection in md array
md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions
is call on md array after they are assembled.

However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later
than some people would like.

So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the
array has been assembled.

This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used
to trigger a partition rescan.

08a02ecd28 md: allow reshape_position for md arrays to be set via sysfs
"reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape"
(adding drives, changing layout or chunksize).

When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have
two possible values, an old an a new.

So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to
be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new
values.

ba8b45cea5 dm log: fix resume failed log device
This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the
log device has failed.

When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module.  If
disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log
state.  If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this
would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized.  Instead, we assume all
regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state.  Failure to do this could
result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it
isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

f5353cd7c9 dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requests
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests
never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended.  This means
there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated,
even though it may very well be in-sync.

Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us.  This is because the log tracks
whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror.  The single

which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain.  But kmirrord
never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync
write_bits.

_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before

bed31ed9e1 [PATCH] fix read past end of array in md/linear.c
When iterating through an array, one must be careful to test one's index
variable rather than another similarly-named variable.

The loop will read off the end of conf->disks[] in the following
(pathological) case:

  % dd bs=1 seek=840716287 if=/dev/zero of=d1 count=1
  % for i in 2 3 4; do dd if=/dev/zero of=d$i bs=1k count=$(($i+150)); done
  % ./vmlinux ubd0=root ubd1=d1 ubd2=d2 ubd3=d3 ubd4=d4
  # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=4 /dev/ubd[1234]

adding some printks, I saw this:

  [42949374.960000] hash_spacing = 821120
  [42949374.960000] cnt          = 4
  [42949374.960000] min_spacing  = 801
  [42949374.960000] j=0 size=820928 sz=820928

6d3baf2eb8 [PATCH] md: fix for raid6 reshape
Recent patch for raid6 reshape had a change missing that showed up in
subsequent review.

Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of
data disks".  With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk -
conf->max_degraded" or similar.  One place was missed.

This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the
recorded position would be wrong.  On restart it would either fail (as the
position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the
array unreshaped, causing data corruption.

i.e. one or more drives can be added and the array will re-stripe
while on-line.

Most of the interesting work was already done for raid5.  This just extends it
to raid6.

mdadm newer than 2.6 is needed for complete safety, however any version of
mdadm which support raid5 reshape will do a good enough job in almost all
cases (an 'echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action' is recommended after a
reshape that was aborted and had to be restarted with an such a version of
mdadm).

b4c4c7b809 [PATCH] md: restart a (raid5) reshape that has been aborted due to a read/write error
An error always aborts any resync/recovery/reshape on the understanding that
it will immediately be restarted if that still makes sense.  However a reshape
currently doesn't get restarted.  With this patch it does.

To avoid restarting when it is not possible to do work, we call into the
personality to check that a reshape is ok, and strengthen raid5_check_reshape
to fail if there are too many failed devices.

We also break some code out into a separate function: remove_and_add_spares as
the indent level for that code was getting crazy.

64a742bc61 [PATCH] md: fix raid10 recovery problem.
There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10
when used in 'far' more (not the default).

Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in
garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the
range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail.

The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it
should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause
a write to a random block address and probably a device error.

The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so
this has been tided up a bit.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

da6e1a32fb [PATCH] md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handling
md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks
associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear
the bit (when count hits zero).

The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we
cannot cope.

Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue
limits much smaller than this.

However is seems that some don't.  Apparently some multipath configurations
can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests.

So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait
for the count to drop down a bit.  This requires a new wait_queue_head,
some waiting code, and a wakeup call.

Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower
in that case...).

387bb17374 [PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5
It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
device.  So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
fail and confuse RAID5.

So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.

Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
us.

Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
not been tested and was badly broken.  This patch fixes that code.

2a2275d630 [PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in md
If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held,
it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.

This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a
write-out to the md device.

For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.

So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make
sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

bfa152fa5e [PATCH] dm-multipath: fix stall on noflush suspend/resume
Allow noflush suspend/resume of device-mapper device only for the case
where the device size is unchanged.

Otherwise, dm-multipath devices can stall when resumed if noflush was used
when suspending them, all paths have failed and queue_if_no_path is set.

Explanation:
 1. Something is doing fsync() on the block dev,
    holding inode->i_sem
 2. The fsync write is blocked by all-paths-down and queue_if_no_path
 3. Someone requests to suspend the dm device with noflush.
    Pending writes are left in queue.
 4. In the middle of dm_resume(), __bind() tries to get
    inode->i_sem to do __set_size() and waits forever.

'noflush suspend' is a new device-mapper feature introduced in
early 2.6.20. So I hope the fix being included before 2.6.20 is
released.

Example of reproducer:
 1. Create a multipath device by dmsetup
 2. Fail all paths during mkfs
 3. Do dmsetup suspend --noflush and load new map with healthy paths
 4. Do dmsetup resume

Also, we get the count of available bytes wrong in one place, so that too can
read past the end of the file.

  - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this

2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
   The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
   MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
   is wrong.
3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
   metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
   bitmaps) does get done.

b875e531fc [PATCH] md: fix innocuous bug in raid6 stripe_to_pdidx
stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe.  It
assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks.

This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other
out.  The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in
raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number.  But as
that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of
'data_disks' the division produces the right value.

So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed.

Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it
more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).

  which is not true for raid6.
  So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data.

2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio
   (to test BIO_UPTODATE).

3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting
   a bio for aligned-read

4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev,
   so we need to invalidate the segment counts.

5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes.
   This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still
   available in the end_io routine.  Fortunately
   bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so
   we can stuff it in there.

6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

update 2:

1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried
   via the normal method (stripe cache).  As we cannot be sure that
   we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to
   allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried
   and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.
   When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to
   the list, not to single-bio...

2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed
   aligned requests.

45e157206c [PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspending
Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.

The pushback request is used when:
  1) there are no valid paths;
  2) queue_if_no_path was set;
  3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
     Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.

To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.

The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.

Test results:
See the test results in the preceding patch.

2e93ccc193 [PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback
In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.

This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core.  This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it.  Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application.  In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.

    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
    ----------------------

If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend().  It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.

The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.

Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().

    DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
    -----------------------------------

A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.

Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same.  This has been labelled 'pushback'.

The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.

    dec_pending
    -----------

dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error.  Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list.  Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.

It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt).  dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.

    pushdback list and pushback_lock
    --------------------------------

The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.

md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.

Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.  So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag.  Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.

Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.

The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above.  So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.

    Other notes on the current patch
    --------------------------------

- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
  md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
  rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
  and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.

- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
  ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
  pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.

- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
  flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
  the list already.  (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())

    Test results
    ------------

I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.

The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
  - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
  - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
    set;
  - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
    queue_if_no_path is set;
  - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
    DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option.  I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
    fail.

The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
    but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
    ioctl option;
  - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
    resume is issued without path recovery;
  - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
    or table load;
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
    with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
    spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.

The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
  - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
    pushback list are flushed properly.
  - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
      o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
        at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
      o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

45cbcd7983 [PATCH] dm: map and endio return code clarification
Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use.  There are no
existing targets using such values.

The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
  Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
  existing drivers use the value 1.  We now make that a requirement
  so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.

  The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
      < 0 : error
      = 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
      = 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
      > 1 : Reserved (undefined).  Previously this was the same as '= 1'.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
  for similar reasons.
  DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.

Test results:

  I have tested by using the multipath target.

  I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.

  I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.

  I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

d63a5a74de [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.  This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

48527fa7cf [BLOCK] dm-crypt: benbi IV, big endian narrow block count for LRW-32-AES
LRW-32-AES needs a certain IV. This IV should be provided dm-crypt.
The block cipher mode could, in principle generate the correct IV from
the plain IV, but I think that it is cleaner to supply the right IV
directly.

The sector -> narrow block calculation uses a shift for performance reasons.
This shift is computed in .ctr and stored in cc->iv_gen_private (as a void *).

4b438a23fb [PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspend
If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image.  Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.

For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

bfc5ecdf48 [PATCH] dm: fix find_device race
There is a race between dev_create() and find_device().

If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to
behave as though no device was found.  It already returns NULL, but there is a
dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took.

The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch.

It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created
device while the device creation ioctl is still running.  The consequence is
that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted.  Certain udev
configurations can lead to this happening.

Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion

check.

This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested'

raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where
bdi_read_congested returns false.  Then we could use the '&' branch rather
than the '|' branch.  However that should would need some benchmarking first
to make sure it is actually a good idea.

9b1d1dac18 [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:

echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap

(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)

echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap

(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)

This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array).  By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

9faf400f7e [PATCH] dm: use private biosets
I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem situations.  It
was found using a mirror target but I think in theory it would hit any setup
that stacks device-mapper devices (like LVM on top of multipath).

Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset in clone_bio(), and a
private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec() it is possible that the
filesystem and the first level target successfully get bios but the lower
level target doesn't because there is no more memory and the pool was drained
by upper layers.  So the remapping will be stuck forever.  To solve this
device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set for each device.

6a24c71843 [PATCH] dm crypt: use private biosets
In the low memory situation dm-crypt needs to use a private mempool of bios to
avoid blocking.

23541d2d28 [PATCH] dm crypt: move io to workqueue
This patch is designed to help dm-crypt comply with the
new constraints imposed by the following patch in -mm:
  md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch

Under low memory the existing implementation relies upon waiting for I/O
submitted recursively to generic_make_request() completing before the original
generic_make_request() call can return.

This patch moves the I/O submission to a workqueue so the original
generic_make_request() can return immediately.
