6ded34d1a5 bcache: Improve lazy sorting
The old lazy sorting code was kind of hacky - rewrite in a way that
mathematically makes more sense; the idea is that the size of the sets
of keys in a btree node should increase by a more or less fixed ratio
from smallest to biggest.

c37511b863 bcache: Fix/revamp tracepoints
The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null
pointer deref in one of the tracepoints.

Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a
performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it
was changed to an empty inline function.

Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as
part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even
on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

5794351146 bcache: Refactor btree io
The most significant change is that btree reads are now done
synchronously, instead of asynchronously and doing the post read stuff
from a workqueue.

This was originally done because we can't block on IO under
generic_make_request(). But - we already have a mechanism to punt cache
lookups to workqueue if needed, so if we just use that we don't have to
deal with the complexity of doing things asynchronously.

The main benefit is this makes the locking situation saner; we can hold
our write lock on the btree node until we're finished reading it, and we
don't need that btree_node_read_done() flag anymore.

Also, for writes, btree_write() was broken out into btree_node_write()
and btree_leaf_dirty() - the old code with the boolean argument was dumb
and confusing.

The prio_blocked mechanism was improved a bit too, now the only counter
is in struct btree_write, we don't mess with transfering a count from
struct btree anymore.

This required changing garbage collection to block prios at the start
and unblock when it finishes, which is cleaner than what it was doing
anyways (the old code had mostly the same effect, but was doing it in a
convoluted way)

And the btree iter btree_node_read_done() uses was converted to a real
mempool.

MD:  Remember the last sync operation that was performed

This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last
sync operation that was performed.  This is especially useful when
it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs.  If the
last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of
descrepancies found by the user-initiated check.  If it was a
"repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of
descrepancies repaired.  etc.

eea136d69f md: fix buglet in RAID5 -> RAID0 conversion.
RAID5 uses a 'per-array' value for the 'size' of each device.
RAID0 uses a 'per-device' value - it can be different for each device.

When converting a RAID5 to a RAID0 we must ensure that the per-device
size of each device matches the per-array size for the RAID5, else
the array will change size.

If the metadata cannot record a changed per-device size (as is the
case with v0.90 metadata) the array could get bigger on restart.  This
does not cause data corruption, so it not a big issue and is mainly
yet another a reason to not use 0.90.

725d6e579f md/raid10: check In_sync flag in 'enough()'.
It isn't really enough to check that the rdev is present, we need to
also be sure that the device is still In_sync.

Doing this requires using rcu_dereference to access the rdev, and
holding the rcu_read_lock() to ensure the rdev doesn't disappear while
we look at it.

635f6416a2 md/raid10: locking changes for 'enough()'.
As 'enough' accesses conf->prev and conf->geo, which can change
spontanously, it should guard against changes.
This can be done with device_lock as start_reshape holds device_lock
while updating 'geo' and end_reshape holds it while updating 'prev'.

So 'error' needs to hold 'device_lock'.

On the other hand, raid10_end_read_request knows which of the two it
really wants to access, and as it is an active request on that one,
the value cannot change underneath it.

So change _enough to take flag rather than a pointer, pass the
appropriate flag from raid10_end_read_request(), and remove the locking.

All other calls to 'enough' are made with reconfig_mutex held, so
neither 'prev' nor 'geo' can change.

90f5f7ad4f md: Wait for md_check_recovery before attempting device removal.
When a device has failed, it needs to be removed from the personality
module before it can be removed from the array as a whole.
The first step is performed by md_check_recovery() which is called
from the raid management thread.

So when a HOT_REMOVE ioctl arrives, wait briefly for md_check_recovery
to have run.  This increases the chance that the ioctl will succeed.

a4dc163a55 DM RAID: Fix raid_resume not reviving failed devices in all cases
DM RAID:  Fix raid_resume not reviving failed devices in all cases

When a device fails in a RAID array, it is marked as Faulty.  Later,
md_check_recovery is called which (through the call chain) calls
'hot_remove_disk' in order to have the personalities remove the device
from use in the array.

Sometimes, it is possible for the array to be suspended before the
personalities get their chance to perform 'hot_remove_disk'.  This is
normally not an issue.  If the array is deactivated, then the failed
device will be noticed when the array is reinstantiated.  If the
array is resumed and the disk is still missing, md_check_recovery will
be called upon resume and 'hot_remove_disk' will be called at that
time.  However, (for dm-raid) if the device has been restored,
a resume on the array would cause it to attempt to revive the device
by calling 'hot_add_disk'.  If 'hot_remove_disk' had not been called,
a situation is then created where the device is thought to concurrently
be the replacement and the device to be replaced.  Thus, the device
is first sync'ed with the rest of the array (because it is the replacement
device) and then marked Faulty and removed from the array (because
it is also the device being replaced).

The solution is to check and see if the device had properly been removed
before the array was suspended.  This is done by seeing whether the
device's 'raid_disk' field is -1 - a condition that implies that
'md_check_recovery -> remove_and_add_spares (where raid_disk is set to -1)
-> hot_remove_disk' has been called.  If 'raid_disk' is not -1, then
'hot_remove_disk' must be called to complete the removal of the previously
faulty device before it can be revived via 'hot_add_disk'.

DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resume

This patch adds code to the resume function to check over the devices
in the RAID array.  If any are found to be marked as failed and their
superblocks can be read, an attempt is made to reintegrate them into
the array.  This allows the user to refresh the array with a simple
suspend and resume of the array - rather than having to load a
completely new table, allocate and initialize all the structures and
throw away the old instantiation.

5026d7a9b2 md/raid1,5,10: Disable WRITE SAME until a recovery strategy is in place
There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME
command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact,
support WRITE SAME.  This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a
SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can
happen, including drive firmware bugs.

After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the
request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the
failure as fatal and consider the drive failed.  This has the effect
that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each
offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss.

However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't
ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should
be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs
to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero.

Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for
raid1, raid5, and raid10.

[neilb: added raid5]

This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same
support was added.

e2d5992522 md/raid1,raid10: use freeze_array in place of raise_barrier in various places.
Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they
really should call freeze_array.
The former is only intended to be called from "make_request".
The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to
flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the
management thread.

Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock.  Using freeze_array
should not.

As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in
handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass
it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore.

The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits
050b66152f87c7 (raid10) and 6b740b8d79252f13 (raid1) which
appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable
kernel since then.

This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and
will need to be applied by hand.

3056e3aec8 md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it.
Without that fix, the following scenario could happen:

- RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding
- Drive A fails
- WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so
r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B
succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as
R1BIO_Uptodate.
- r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled,
md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive
of raid1
- raid_end_bio_io()  calls call_bio_endio()
- As a result, in call_bio_endio():
        if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state))
                clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags);
this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master
WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer.

So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written
the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the
data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data
is lost.

[neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well]

This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any
-stable kernel.

6b6204ee92 md: md_stop_writes() should always freeze recovery.
__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery.
So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are.

However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then
a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which
could be awkward.  This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid.

So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery.  This is safe
and more predicatable.

then allocated from the new space, and finally we switch back to the
proper space map ops and tweak the reference counts.

5d0db96d13 dm thin: open dev read only when possible
If a thin pool is created in read-only-metadata mode then only open the
metadata device read-only.

Previously it was always opened with FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE.

(Note that dm_get_device() still allows read-only dm devices to be used
read-write at the moment: If I create a read-only linear device for the
metadata, via dmsetup load --readonly, then I can still create a rw pool
out of it.)

502624bdad dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlock
This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in
dm-bufio.  (it could happen only with large block size, at most
PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB).

__vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are
used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block
and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes.

However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL.
Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and
cause a deadlock.

This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore
it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with
implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen.

This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore
functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.
