- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.
Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then
re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at
saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether
or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of
'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the
correct check.
For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot

raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple
copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different
devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.
Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.
With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0
with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still
very slow.

The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned
long". dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only
allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).
The patch below fixes this problem.
The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.
In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).
0 0 0 0 X X X X
^
here
which hasn't been cleared properly.
As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.
It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means
that they cannot safely be moved between computers with

In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size
calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion
of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission.
This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed
to supply the actual size.)
Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last
line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'. Consequently, 'lvcreate --type

md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

The current sync_action for an array can be one of
idle - nothing happening
resync - reduncancy being recalcualted
recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
check - user initiated check of redundancy
repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
bitmap optimisation.
Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause
that action to happen (if appropriate).
While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I
think it is the most servicable word here. Also 'action' is a strong word

When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may
commense. This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for
example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image.
So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set
to '1' at boot, at module load, or via
/sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro
When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all
internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically
switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.
The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first
write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.

We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle
barriers, and that can, of course, change with time....
So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,
and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.
We initially assumes barriers are OK.
When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag
things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly.
If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to
resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to
finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag.
When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but
which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this,
and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the
r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find.
We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid.
It should only happen if:
1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices
change like this, though raid1 can!
or
2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to
pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.
