md/raid: only permit hot-add of compatible integrity profiles

2016-01-14T00:49:57Z

It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is in-flight in the queue. Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile. The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in md, commmit c7bfced9a671 "md: suspend i/o during runtime blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression. This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has been established is shared with DM. Here is an abbreviated log from a test run that: 1/ Creates a degraded raid1 with an integrity-enabled device (pmem0s) [ 59.076127] 2/ Tries to add an integrity-disabled device (pmem1m) [ 90.489209] 3/ Retries with an integrity-enabled device (pmem1s) [ 205.671277] [ 59.076127] md/raid1:md0: active with 1 out of 2 mirrors [ 59.078302] md: data integrity enabled on md0 [..] [ 90.489209] md0: incompatible integrity profile for pmem1m [..] [ 205.671277] md: super_written gets error=-5 [ 205.677386] md/raid1:md0: Disk failure on pmem1m, disabling device.

md: suspend i/o during runtime blk_integrity_unregister

2015-10-21T20:43:38Z

Synchronize pending i/o against a change in the integrity profile to avoid the possibility of spurious integrity errors. Given linear_add() is suspending the mddev before manipulating the mddev, do the same for the other personalities. Acked-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely

2015-08-13T18:31:57Z

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios, it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15Z

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

md: rename ->stop to ->free

2015-02-03T21:35:52Z

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data, rename is accordingly. Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using mddev->private. This flexibility will be useful in level_store(). Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was introduced). Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a big problem at the moment. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: split detach operation out from ->stop.

2015-02-03T21:35:52Z

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two things: 1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing is accessing the ->private data 2/ it frees the ->private data. All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be performed in common code. This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do step 1 early, and step 2 later. So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: make ->congested robust against personality changes.

2015-02-03T21:35:52Z

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested' bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc. So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central 'mddev_congested'. When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended' so no IO is processed. If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the array is congested, which is a safe guess. As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock() region. This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47Z

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames things.
