RAID10: ignore discard error

2016-10-24T22:28:17Z

This is the counterpart of raid10 fix. If a write error occurs, raid10 will try to rewrite the bio in small chunk size. If the rewrite fails, raid10 will record the error in bad block. narrow_write_error will always use WRITE for the bio, but actually it could be a discard. Since discard bio hasn't payload, write the bio will cause different issues. But discard error isn't fatal, we can safely ignore it. This is what this patch does. This issue should exist since discard is added, but only exposed with recent arbitrary bio size feature. Cc: Sitsofe Wheeler Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v3.6) Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf

2016-08-07T20:41:02Z

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

raid10: improve random reads performance

2016-07-19T22:20:28Z

RAID10 random read performance is lower than expected due to excessive spinlock utilisation which is required mostly for rebuild/resync. Simplify allow_barrier as it's in IO path and encounters a lot of unnecessary congestion. As lower_barrier just takes a lock in order to decrement a counter, convert counter (nr_pending) into atomic variable and remove the spin lock. There is also a congestion for wake_up (it uses lock internally) so call it only when it's really needed. As wake_up is not called constantly anymore, ensure process waiting to raise a barrier is notified when there are no more waiting IOs. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Majchrzak Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

md: use seconds granularity for error logging

2016-07-19T18:00:47Z

The md code stores the exact time of the last error in the last_read_error variable using a timespec structure. It only ever uses the seconds portion of that though, so we can use a scalar for it. There won't be an overflow in 2038 here, because it already used monotonic time and 32-bit is enough for that, but I've decided to use time64_t for consistency in the conversion.

md: reduce the number of synchronize_rcu() calls when multiple devices fail.

2016-06-13T18:54:22Z

Every time a device is removed with ->hot_remove_disk() a synchronize_rcu() call is made which can delay several milliseconds in some case. If lots of devices fail at once - as could happen with a large RAID10 where one set of devices are removed all at once - these delays can add up to be very inconcenient. As failure is not reversible we can check for that first, setting a separate flag if it is found, and then all synchronize_rcu() once for all the flagged devices. Then ->hot_remove_disk() function can skip the synchronize_rcu() step if the flag is set. fix build error(Shaohua) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

md: be extra careful not to take a reference to a Faulty device.

2016-06-13T18:54:21Z

It is important that we never increment rdev->nr_pending on a Faulty device as ->hot_remove_disk() assumes that once the Faulty flag is visible no code will take a new reference. Some places take a new reference after only check In_sync. This should be safe as the two are changed together. However to make the code more obviously safe, add checks for 'Faulty' as well. Note: the actual rule is: Never increment nr_pending if Faulty is set and Blocked is clear, never clear Faulty, and never set Blocked without holding a reference through nr_pending. fix build error (Shaohua) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li
