An md bitmap comprises two parts
- internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'.
- external storage of whether there are any active writes on
each chunk
The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the
second.
Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite
resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery
of a recently-removed device.
So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device.
In that case we default to 128M chunks.
A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap
(possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not
lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device.
We don't actually activate these bitmaps yet - that will come
in a later patch.

If we are to allow bitmaps to be resized when the array is resized,
we need to know how much space there is.
So create an attribute to store this information and set appropriate
defaults.
It can be set more precisely via sysfs, or future metadata extensions
may allow it to be recorded.

There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the
write intent bitmap.
Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits)
may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course.
There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from
PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever
becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be
cleared.
Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one
for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if
any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by
bitmap_daemon_work(). If this flag is clear we can skip the whole
page.
These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag.
This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap
file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the
bitmap file.
So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite
bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending'
concepts separately.
This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out
a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we
write a page.

commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro"
replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was
replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong.
The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1,
which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how).
So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO
which is no longe used.

If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible
for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being
initialised.
This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees
bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly.
So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap
to prevent problems.
This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not
apply cleanly before about 3.1.

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.
Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.
So:
- rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
- create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
list_for_each_entry,
- use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.
The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit. So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.
So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.
In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
more.

commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.
When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as
it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not
needed.
However there are two places where we might set or clear page
attributes without holding the spinlock.
So add the spinlock in those cases.
This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't
getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost
when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared. This is an
inconvenience, not a threat to data safety.

So make sure allclean reflects exactly when there are none of those.

The flag 'BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN' has a confusing name as it doesn't mean
that the page is clean, but rather that there are counters in the page
which allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared - i.e. maybe cleaning can
happen.
So change it to BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and fix some irregularities:
- Don't set it in bitmap_init_from_disk as bitmap_set_memory_bits
sets it when needed
- in bitmap_daemon_work, if we find a counter that is '1', but
need_sync is set, then set BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING again (it was
recently cleared) to ensure we don't forget about this bit.

If a bitmap is found to be 'stale' the events_cleared value

So change bitmap_update_sb to always update events_cleared in the

The two purposes are:
1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a

2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending
(something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the

A bitmap is stored as one page per 2048 bits.
If none of the bits are set, the page is not allocated.
When bitmap_get_counter finds that a page isn't allocate,
it just reports that one bit work of space isn't flagged,
rather than reporting that 2048 bits worth of space are
unflagged.
This can cause searches for flagged bits (e.g. bitmap_close_sync)
to do more work than is really necessary.

blocks that more accurately reports the range of the device for which
no counter currently exists.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out

When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.
So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.

There is a sysfs file which allows bits in the write-intent
bitmap to be explicit set - indicating that the block is thought
to be 'dirty'.
When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards
to include the block to reflect this dirtiness.
In particular, a 'resync' process will refuse to start if
recovery_cp is beyond the end of the array, so this is needed
to allow a resync to be triggered.

A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.
'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.
'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

For md arrays were metadata is managed externally, the kernel does not

A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap. If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.
So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.
This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this
can sometimes fail.
Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.
This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for

The sync_completed file reports how much of a resync (or recovery or
reshape) has been completed.
However due to the possibility of out-of-order completion of writes,
it is not certain to be accurate.
We have an internal value - mddev->curr_resync_completed - which is an
accurate value (though it might not always be quite so uptodate).
So:
- make curr_resync_completed be uptodate a little more often,
particularly when raid5 reshape updates status in the metadata
- report curr_resync_completed in the sysfs file
- allow poll/select to report all updates to md/sync_completed.
This makes sync_completed completed usable by any external metadata
handler that wants to record this status information in its metadata.

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().

Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
partially completed drive recovery.
However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
unclean shutdown.
One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
have completed. And we need to know what has completed to record
how much is recovered. So occasionally pause the recovery until all
submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
we are up to.
When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
the bitmap up-to-date. So enhance that code to record the recovery
offset and schedule a superblock update.
And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
do a checkpoint.
'16' is a fairly arbitrary number. But we don't really have any good
way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
number for now.

When we add some spares to an array and start recovery, and we have
a bitmap which is stored 'internally' on all devices, we call
bitmap_write_all to make sure the bitmap is correct on the new
device(s).
However that doesn't work as write_sb_page only writes to
'In_sync' devices, and devices undergoing recovery are not
'In_sync' until recovery finishes.
So extend write_sb_page (actually next_active_rdev) to include devices
that are under recovery.

It is safe to clear a bit from the write-intent bitmap for a raid1
if we know the data has been written to all devices, which is
what the current test does.
But it is not always safe to update the 'events_cleared' counter in
that case. This is because one request could complete successfully
after some other request has partially failed.
So simply disable the clearing and updating of events_cleared whenever
the array is degraded. This might end up not clearing some bits that
could safely be cleared, but it is safest approach.
Note that the bug fixed here did not risk corrupting data by letting
the array get out-of-sync. Rather it meant that when a device is
removed and re-added to the array, it might incorrectly require a full
recovery rather than just recovering based on the bitmap.

md currently insists that the chunk size used for write-intent
bitmaps (the amount of data that corresponds to one chunk)
be at least one page.
The reason for this restriction is lost in the mists of time,
but a review of the code (and a vague memory) suggests that the only
problem would be related to resync. Resync tries very hard to
work in multiples of a page, but also needs to sync with units
of a bitmap_chunk too.
This connection comes out in the bitmap_start_sync call.
So change bitmap_start_sync to always work in multiples of a page.
If the bitmap chunk size is less that one page, we flag multiple
chunks as 'syncing' and generally make them all appear to the
resync routines like one chunk.
All other code either already works with data ranges that could
span multiple chunks, or explicitly only cares about a single chunk.

The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, 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.

When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently

When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce

When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device
which causes an error.

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.
The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.
So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.
So use RCU to protect these accesses:
- wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
- use list_for_each_entry_rcu
- add to the list with list_add_rcu
- delete from the list with list_del_rcu
- delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work
Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
- after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
already been done,
- after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
- before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
- and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
different list.
So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.
Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed.

When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not
cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced
by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since
it was removed.
The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event
counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.
Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' -
the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle
ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the
bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require
a full resync when it is re-added.
With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about
to clear a bit in the bitmap. We record events_cleared when we clear
the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written
out before the bit on storage. This makes it more "obviously correct".
We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going
backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded
array).

"fixes".
