  • There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
    instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
    __generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
    generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
    generic_make_request handle it.

    Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
    returned non-zero values for errors.

  • bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
    If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
    something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
    the pool can cause deadlocks.

    So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
    than the common pool.

    This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • If the superblock of a component device indicates the presence of a
    bitmap but the corresponding raid personality does not support bitmaps
    (raid0, linear, multipath, faulty), then something is seriously wrong
    and we'd better refuse to run such an array.

    Currently, this check is performed while the superblocks are examined,
    i.e. before entering personality code. Therefore the generic md layer
    must know which raid levels support bitmaps and which do not.

    This patch avoids this layer violation without adding identical code
    to various personalities. This is accomplished by introducing a new
    public function to md.c, md_check_no_bitmap(), which replaces the
    hard-coded checks in the superblock loading functions.

    A call to md_check_no_bitmap() is added to the ->run method of each
    personality which does not support bitmaps and assembly is aborted
    if at least one component device contains a bitmap.

  • The difference between these two methods is artificial.
    Both check that a pending reshape is valid, and perform any
    aspect of it that can be done immediately.
    'reconfig' handles chunk size and layout.
    'check_reshape' handles raid_disks.

    So make them just one method.

  • Passing the new layout and chunksize as args is not necessary as
    the mddev has fields for new_check and new_layout.

    This is preparation for combining the check_reshape and reconfig
    methods

  • In preparation for giving userspace control over ->array_sectors we need
    to be able to retrieve the 'default' size, and the 'anticipated' size
    when a reshape is requested. For personalities that do not reshape emit
    a warning if anything but the default size is requested.

    In the raid5 case we need to update ->previous_raid_disks to make the
    new 'default' size available.

  • This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors"
    and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of
    1K-blocks in it.

    All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted
    accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get
    rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two.

    In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues
    have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses
    strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

  • The rdev_for_each macro defined in is identical to
    list_for_each_entry_safe, from , it should be defined to
    use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

    But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
    just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
    variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

    In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
    totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
    list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

  • As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
    the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.

    Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
    from bi_size. So don't do that either.

    While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

  • 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.

  • 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!
