Dan Williams 8b3e6cdc53 md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performance
Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its
stripes onto the handle_list in one shot.  Delayed stripes are now further
delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'.  The 'hold_list' is bypassed when:

  * a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list'
  * 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width
    write requests
  * 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'.  By default the threshold
    is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the
    top two conditions are false.

Benchmark data:
System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB
Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7
Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean
Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
  * patched:  +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512)

Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS)
  * patched: +13%
  * patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37%

Changes since v1:
* reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and
  make it configurable.  This defaults to fairness and modest performance
  gains out of the box.
Changes since v2:
* [neilb@suse.de]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not
  necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in
  add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang
  fix.
* [neilb@suse.de]: simplify get_priority_stripe
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is
  sampled empty (+11%)
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection
  of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%.  Note, resetting
  bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is
  probably too aggressive.
Changes since v3:
* cosmetic fixups

/*
*
* Each stripe contains one buffer per disc. Each buffer can be in
* one of a number of states stored in "flags". Changes between
* these states happen *almost* exclusively under a per-stripe
* spinlock. Some very specific changes can happen in bi_end_io, and
* these are not protected by the spin lock.
*
* The flag bits that are used to represent these states are:
* R5_UPTODATE and R5_LOCKED
*
* State Empty == !UPTODATE, !LOCK
* We have no data, and there is no active request
* State Want == !UPTODATE, LOCK
* A read request is being submitted for this block
* State Dirty == UPTODATE, LOCK
* Some new data is in this buffer, and it is being written out
* State Clean == UPTODATE, !LOCK
* We have valid data which is the same as on disc
*
* The possible state transitions are:
*
* Empty -> Want - on read or write to get old data for parity calc
* Empty -> Dirty - on compute_parity to satisfy write/sync request.(RECONSTRUCT_WRITE)
* Empty -> Clean - on compute_block when computing a block for failed drive
* Want -> Empty - on failed read
* Want -> Clean - on successful completion of read request
* Dirty -> Clean - on successful completion of write request
* Dirty -> Clean - on failed write
* Clean -> Dirty - on compute_parity to satisfy write/sync (RECONSTRUCT or RMW)
*
* The Want->Empty, Want->Clean, Dirty->Clean, transitions
* all happen in b_end_io at interrupt time.
* Each sets the Uptodate bit before releasing the Lock bit.
* This leaves one multi-stage transition:
* Want->Dirty->Clean
* This is safe because thinking that a Clean buffer is actually dirty
* will at worst delay some action, and the stripe will be scheduled
* for attention after the transition is complete.
*
* There is one possibility that is not covered by these states. That
* is if one drive has failed and there is a spare being rebuilt. We
* can't distinguish between a clean block that has been generated
* from parity calculations, and a clean block that has been
* successfully written to the spare ( or to parity when resyncing).
* To distingush these states we have a stripe bit STRIPE_INSYNC that
* is set whenever a write is scheduled to the spare, or to the parity
* disc if there is no spare. A sync request clears this bit, and
* when we find it set with no buffers locked, we know the sync is
* complete.
*
* Buffers for the md device that arrive via make_request are attached
* to the appropriate stripe in one of two lists linked on b_reqnext.
* One list (bh_read) for read requests, one (bh_write) for write.
* There should never be more than one buffer on the two lists
* together, but we are not guaranteed of that so we allow for more.
*
* If a buffer is on the read list when the associated cache buffer is
* Uptodate, the data is copied into the read buffer and it's b_end_io
* routine is called. This may happen in the end_request routine only
* if the buffer has just successfully been read. end_request should
* remove the buffers from the list and then set the Uptodate bit on
* the buffer. Other threads may do this only if they first check
* that the Uptodate bit is set. Once they have checked that they may
* take buffers off the read queue.
*
* When a buffer on the write list is committed for write it is copied
* into the cache buffer, which is then marked dirty, and moved onto a
* third list, the written list (bh_written). Once both the parity
* block and the cached buffer are successfully written, any buffer on
* a written list can be returned with b_end_io.
*
* The write list and read list both act as fifos. The read list is
* protected by the device_lock. The write and written lists are
* protected by the stripe lock. The device_lock, which can be
* claimed while the stipe lock is held, is only for list
* manipulations and will only be held for a very short time. It can
* be claimed from interrupts.
*
*
* Stripes in the stripe cache can be on one of two lists (or on
* neither). The "inactive_list" contains stripes which are not
* currently being used for any request. They can freely be reused
* for another stripe. The "handle_list" contains stripes that need
* to be handled in some way. Both of these are fifo queues. Each
* stripe is also (potentially) linked to a hash bucket in the hash
* table so that it can be found by sector number. Stripes that are
* not hashed must be on the inactive_list, and will normally be at
* the front. All stripes start life this way.
*
* The inactive_list, handle_list and hash bucket lists are all protected by the
* device_lock.
* - stripes on the inactive_list never have their stripe_lock held.
* - stripes have a reference counter. If count==0, they are on a list.
* - If a stripe might need handling, STRIPE_HANDLE is set.
* - When refcount reaches zero, then if STRIPE_HANDLE it is put on
* handle_list else inactive_list
*
* This, combined with the fact that STRIPE_HANDLE is only ever
* cleared while a stripe has a non-zero count means that if the
* refcount is 0 and STRIPE_HANDLE is set, then it is on the
* handle_list and if recount is 0 and STRIPE_HANDLE is not set, then
* the stripe is on inactive_list.
*
* The possible transitions are:
* activate an unhashed/inactive stripe (get_active_stripe())
* lockdev check-hash unlink-stripe cnt++ clean-stripe hash-stripe unlockdev
* activate a hashed, possibly active stripe (get_active_stripe())
* lockdev check-hash if(!cnt++)unlink-stripe unlockdev
* attach a request to an active stripe (add_stripe_bh())
* lockdev attach-buffer unlockdev
* handle a stripe (handle_stripe())
* lockstripe clrSTRIPE_HANDLE ...
* (lockdev check-buffers unlockdev) ..
* change-state ..
* record io/ops needed unlockstripe schedule io/ops
* release an active stripe (release_stripe())
* lockdev if (!--cnt) { if STRIPE_HANDLE, add to handle_list else add to inactive-list } unlockdev
*
* The refcount counts each thread that have activated the stripe,
* plus raid5d if it is handling it, plus one for each active request
* on a cached buffer, and plus one if the stripe is undergoing stripe
* operations.
*
* Stripe operations are performed outside the stripe lock,
* the stripe operations are:
* -copying data between the stripe cache and user application buffers
* -computing blocks to save a disk access, or to recover a missing block
* -updating the parity on a write operation (reconstruct write and
* read-modify-write)
* -checking parity correctness
* -running i/o to disk
* These operations are carried out by raid5_run_ops which uses the async_tx
* api to (optionally) offload operations to dedicated hardware engines.
* When requesting an operation handle_stripe sets the pending bit for the
* operation and increments the count. raid5_run_ops is then run whenever
* the count is non-zero.
* There are some critical dependencies between the operations that prevent some
* from being requested while another is in flight.
* 1/ Parity check operations destroy the in cache version of the parity block,
* so we prevent parity dependent operations like writes and compute_blocks
* from starting while a check is in progress. Some dma engines can perform
* the check without damaging the parity block, in these cases the parity
* block is re-marked up to date (assuming the check was successful) and is
* not re-read from disk.
* 2/ When a write operation is requested we immediately lock the affected
* blocks, and mark them as not up to date. This causes new read requests
* to be held off, as well as parity checks and compute block operations.
* 3/ Once a compute block operation has been requested handle_stripe treats
* that block as if it is up to date. raid5_run_ops guaruntees that any
* operation that is dependent on the compute block result is initiated after
* the compute block completes.
