2006-01-06[PATCH] md: fix possible problem in raid1/raid10 error overwritingNeilBrown
The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10 currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make. So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown
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.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: raid10 read-error handling - resync and read-onlyNeilBrown
Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations. When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in the r10_bio so we don't re-try it. During resync, we always read all blocks, so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that we found (assuming we found one). Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way. There is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case. If there are 3 or more copies, then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: improve raid10 "IO Barrier" conceptNeilBrown
raid10 needs to put up a barrier to new requests while it does resync or other background recovery. The code for this is currently open-coded, slighty obscure by its use of two waitqueues, and not documented. This patch gathers all the related code into 4 functions, and includes a comment which (hopefully) explains what is happening.

2005-11-28[PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'NeilBrown
raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half) to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential read performance. Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays. With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0 with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still very slow.

2005-11-01[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arraysJens Axboe
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2005-09-09[PATCH] md: fix minor error in raid10 read-balancing calculation.NeilBrown
'this_sector' is a virtual (array) address while 'head_position' is a physical (device) address, so substraction doesn't make any sense. devs[slot].addr should be used instead of this_sector. However, this patch doesn't make much practical different to the read balancing due to the effects of later code.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: fix deadlock due to md thread processing delayed requests.NeilBrown
Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated. This is best done by the md_thread. The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later handling by the md_thread. However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread tries to submit requests to its own array. So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself. This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6 Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-21[PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_requestNeilBrown
1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: improve locking on 'safemode' and move superblock writesNeilBrown
When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause problems later. With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and write request are delayed until that write completes. Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is improved to avoid possible races.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: merge md_enter_safemode into md_check_recoveryNeilBrown
md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'. i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed. This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called (almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call md_check_recovery as well. So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into md_check_recovery. The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
