2009-03-31md/raid5 revise rules for when to update metadata during reshapeNeilBrown
We currently update the metadata : 1/ every 3Megabytes 2/ When the place we will write new-layout data to is recorded in the metadata as still containing old-layout data. Rule one exists to avoid having to re-do too much reshaping in the face of a crash/restart. So it should really be time based rather than size based. So change it to "every 10 seconds". Rule two turns out to be too harsh when restriping an array 'in-place', as in that case the metadata much be updates for every stripe. For the in-place update, it can only possibly be safe from a crash if some user-space program data a backup of every e.g. few hundred stripes before allowing them to be reshaped. In that case, the constant metadata update is pointless. So only update the metadata if the new metadata will report that the end of the 'old-layout' data is beyond where we are currently writing 'new-layout' data. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change layoutNeilBrown
Add prev_algo to raid5_conf_t along the same lines as prev_chunk and previous_raid_disks. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.NeilBrown
Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently underway. This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences. The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same. The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway. Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is started by setting reshape_position. In contrast, the new_chunk value is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the reshape starts. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.NeilBrown
During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are 'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are 'after'. They are currently differentiated by having different ->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing the number of disks. However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number of disks (chunk parity or chunk size). So make the difference more explicit with a 'generation' number.

2009-03-31md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.NeilBrown
When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the beginning. So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo differently. This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

2009-03-31md/raid5: drop qd_idx from r6_stateNeilBrown
We now have this value in stripe_head so we don't need to duplicate it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.koDan Williams
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>
2009-03-31md/raid5: refactor raid5 "run"NeilBrown
.. so that the code to create the private data structures is separate. This will help with future code to change the level of an active array. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: finish support for DDF/raid6NeilBrown
DDF requires RAID6 calculations over different devices in a different order. For md/raid6, we calculate over just the data devices, starting immediately after the 'Q' block. For ddf/raid6 we calculate over all devices, using zeros in place of the P and Q blocks. This requires unfortunately complex loops... Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md/raid5: Add support for new layouts for raid5 and raid6.NeilBrown
DDF uses different layouts for P and Q blocks than current md/raid6 so add those that are missing. Also add support for RAID6 layouts that are identical to various raid5 layouts with the simple addition of one device to hold all of the 'Q' blocks. Finally add 'raid5' layouts to match raid4. These last to will allow online level conversion. Note that this does not provide correct support for DDF/raid6 yet as the order in which data blocks are summed to produce the Q block is significant and different between current md code and DDF requirements.

2009-03-31md/raid6: remove expectation that Q device is immediately after P device.NeilBrown
Code currently assumes that the devices in a raid6 stripe are 0 1 ... N-1 P Q in some rotated order. We will shortly add new layouts in which this strict pattern is broken. So remove this expectation. We still assume that the data disks are roughly in-order. However P and Q can be inserted anywhere within that order. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: move lots of #include lines out of .h files and into .cNeilBrown
This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include other files. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: move headers out of include/linux/raid/Christoph Hellwig
Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there are some uses from the outside.
