stripes which are being reclaimed are still accounted into cached
stripes. The reclaim takes time. r5c_do_reclaim isn't aware of the
stripes and does unnecessary stripe reclaim. In practice, I saw one
stripe is reclaimed one time. This will cause bad IO pattern. Fixing
this by excluding the reclaing stripes in the check.

When log space is tight, we try to reclaim stripes from log head. There
are stripes which can't be reclaimed right now if some conditions are
met. We skip such stripes but accidentally count them, which might cause
no stripes are claimed. Fixing this by only counting valid stripes.

It is important to be able to flush all stripes in raid5-cache.
Therefore, we need reserve some space on the journal device for
these flushes. If flush operation includes pending writes to the
stripe, we need to reserve (conf->raid_disk + 1) pages per stripe
for the flush out. This reduces the efficiency of journal space.
If we exclude these pending writes from flush operation, we only
need (conf->max_degraded + 1) pages per stripe.
With this patch, when log space is critical (R5C_LOG_CRITICAL=1),
pending writes will be excluded from stripe flush out. Therefore,
we can reduce reserved space for flush out and thus improve journal
device efficiency.

Chunk aligned read significantly reduces CPU usage of raid456.
However, it is not safe to fully bypass the write back cache.
This patch enables chunk aligned read with write back cache.
For chunk aligned read, we track stripes in write back cache at
a bigger granularity, "big_stripe". Each chunk may contain more
than one stripe (for example, a 256kB chunk contains 64 4kB-page,
so this chunk contain 64 stripes). For chunk_aligned_read, these
stripes are grouped into one big_stripe, so we only need one lookup
for the whole chunk.
For each big_stripe, struct big_stripe_info tracks how many stripes
of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. We count how many
stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. These
counters are tracked in a radix tree (big_stripe_tree).
r5c_tree_index() is used to calculate keys for the radix tree.
chunk_aligned_read() calls r5c_big_stripe_cached() to look up
big_stripe of each chunk in the tree. If this big_stripe is in the
tree, chunk_aligned_read() aborts. This look up is protected by
rcu_read_lock().
It is necessary to remember whether a stripe is counted in
big_stripe_tree. Instead of adding new flag, we reuses existing flags:
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE. If either of these
two flags are set, the stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. This
requires moving set_bit(STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE) to
r5c_try_caching_write(); and moving clear_bit of
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE to
r5c_finish_stripe_write_out().

write-back cache in degraded mode introduces corner cases to the array.
Although we try to cover all these corner cases, it is safer to just
disable write-back cache when the array is in degraded mode.
In this patch, we disable writeback cache for degraded mode:
1. On device failure, if the array enters degraded mode, raid5_error()
will submit async job r5c_disable_writeback_async to disable
writeback;
2. In r5c_journal_mode_store(), it is invalid to enable writeback in
degraded mode;
3. In r5c_try_caching_write(), stripes with s->failed>0 will be handled
in write-through mode.

For safer operation, all arrays start in write-through mode, which has been
better tested and is more mature. And actually the write-through/write-mode
isn't persistent after array restarted, so we always start array in
write-through mode. However, if recovery found data-only stripes before the
shutdown (from previous write-back mode), it is not safe to start the array in
write-through mode, as write-through mode can not handle stripes with data in
write-back cache. To solve this problem, we flush all data-only stripes in
r5l_recovery_log(). When r5l_recovery_log() returns, the array starts with
empty cache in write-through mode.
This logic is implemented in r5c_recovery_flush_data_only_stripes():
1. enable write back cache
2. flush all stripes
3. wake up conf->mddev->thread
4. wait for all stripes get flushed (reuse wait_for_quiescent)
5. disable write back cache
The wait in 4 will be waked up in release_inactive_stripe_list()
when conf->active_stripes reaches 0.
It is safe to wake up mddev->thread here because all the resource
required for the thread has been initialized.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.
- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.
- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.
- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.
- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.
- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.
- Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.
- Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

Currently, we increase journal entry seq by 10 after recovery.
However, this is not sufficient in the following case.
After crash the journal looks like
| seq+0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | ... | +11 | +12 |
If +1 is not valid, we dropped all entries from +1 to +12; and
write seq+10:
| seq+0 | +10 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | ... | +11 | +12 |
However, if we write a big journal entry with seq+11, it will
connect with some stale journal entry:
| seq+0 | +10 | +11 | +12 |
To reduce the risk of this issue, we increase seq by 10000 instead.
Shaohua: use 10000 instead of 1000. The risk should be very unlikely. The total
stripe cache size is less than 2k typically, and several stripes can fit into
one meta data block. So the total inflight meta data blocks would be quite
small, which means the the total sequence number used should be quite small.
The 10000 sequence number increase should be far more than safe.

Recovery of write-back cache has different logic to write-through only
cache. Specifically, for write-back cache, the recovery need to scan
through all active journal entries before flushing data out. Therefore,
large portion of the recovery logic is rewritten here.
To make the diffs cleaner, we split the rewrite as follows:
1. In this patch, we:
- add new data to r5l_recovery_ctx
- add new functions to recovery write-back cache
The new functions are not used in this patch, so this patch does not
change the behavior of recovery.
2. In next patch, we:
- modify main recovery procedure r5l_recovery_log() to call new
functions
- remove old functions
With cache feature, there are 2 different scenarios of recovery:
1. Data-Parity stripe: a stripe with complete parity in journal.
2. Data-Only stripe: a stripe with only data in journal (or partial
parity).
The code differentiate Data-Parity stripe from Data-Only stripe with
flag STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.
For Data-Parity stripes, we use the same procedure as raid5 journal,
where all the data and parity are replayed to the RAID devices.
For Data-Only strips, we need to finish complete calculate parity and
finish the full reconstruct write or RMW write. For simplicity, in
the recovery, we load the stripe to stripe cache. Once the array is
started, the stripe cache state machine will handle these stripes
through normal write path.
r5c_recovery_flush_log contains the main procedure of recovery. The
recovery code first scans through the journal and loads data to
stripe cache. The code keeps tracks of all these stripes in a list
(use sh->lru and ctx->cached_list), stripes in the list are
organized in the order of its first appearance on the journal.
During the scan, the recovery code assesses each stripe as
Data-Parity or Data-Only.
During scan, the array may run out of stripe cache. In these cases,
the recovery code will also call raid5_set_cache_size to increase
stripe cache size. If the array still runs out of stripe cache
because there isn't enough memory, the array will not assemble.
At the end of scan, the recovery code replays all Data-Parity
stripes, and sets proper states for Data-Only stripes. The recovery
code also increases seq number by 10 and rewrites all Data-Only
stripes to journal. This is to avoid confusion after repeated
crashes. More details is explained in raid5-cache.c before
r5c_recovery_rewrite_data_only_stripes().

There are two limited resources, stripe cache and journal disk space.
For better performance, we priotize reclaim of full stripe writes.
To free up more journal space, we free earliest data on the journal.
In current implementation, reclaim happens when:
1. Periodically (every R5C_RECLAIM_WAKEUP_INTERVAL, 30 seconds) reclaim
if there is no reclaim in the past 5 seconds.
2. when there are R5C_FULL_STRIPE_FLUSH_BATCH (256) cached full stripes,
or cached stripes is enough for a full stripe (chunk size / 4k)
(r5c_check_cached_full_stripe)
3. when there is pressure on stripe cache (r5c_check_stripe_cache_usage)
4. when there is pressure on journal space (r5l_write_stripe, r5c_cache_data)
r5c_do_reclaim() contains new logic of reclaim.
For stripe cache:
When stripe cache pressure is high (more than 3/4 stripes are cached,
or there is empty inactive lists), flush all full stripe. If fewer
than R5C_RECLAIM_STRIPE_GROUP (NR_STRIPE_HASH_LOCKS * 2) full stripes
are flushed, flush some paritial stripes. When stripe cache pressure
is moderate (1/2 to 3/4 of stripes are cached), flush all full stripes.
For log space:
To avoid deadlock due to log space, we need to reserve enough space
to flush cached data. The size of required log space depends on total
number of cached stripes (stripe_in_journal_count). In current
implementation, the writing-out phase automatically include pending
data writes with parity writes (similar to write through case).
Therefore, we need up to (conf->raid_disks + 1) pages for each cached
stripe (1 page for meta data, raid_disks pages for all data and
parity). r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() calculates log space
required to flush cache. In the following, we refer to the space
calculated by r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() as
reclaim_required_space.
Two flags are added to r5conf->cache_state: R5C_LOG_TIGHT and
R5C_LOG_CRITICAL. R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set when free space on the log
device is less than 3x of reclaim_required_space. R5C_LOG_CRITICAL
is set when free space on the log device is less than 2x of
reclaim_required_space.
r5c_cache keeps all data in cache (not fully committed to RAID) in
a list (stripe_in_journal_list). These stripes are in the order of their
first appearance on the journal. So the log tail (last_checkpoint)
should point to the journal_start of the first item in the list.
When R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set, r5l_reclaim_thread starts flushing out
stripes at the head of stripe_in_journal. When R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is
set, the state machine only writes data that are already in the
log device (in stripe_in_journal_list).

As described in previous patch, write back cache operates in two
phases: caching and writing-out. The caching phase works as:
1. write data to journal
(r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying, r5c_cache_data)
2. call bio_endio
(r5c_handle_data_cached, r5c_return_dev_pending_writes).
Then the writing-out phase is as:
1. Mark the stripe as write-out (r5c_make_stripe_write_out)
2. Calcualte parity (reconstruct or RMW)
3. Write parity (and maybe some other data) to journal device
4. Write data and parity to RAID disks
This patch implements caching phase. The cache is integrated with
stripe cache of raid456. It leverages code of r5l_log to write
data to journal device.
Writing-out phase of the cache is implemented in the next patch.
With r5cache, write operation does not wait for parity calculation
and write out, so the write latency is lower (1 write to journal
device vs. read and then write to raid disks). Also, r5cache will
reduce RAID overhead (multipile IO due to read-modify-write of
parity) and provide more opportunities of full stripe writes.
This patch adds 2 flags to stripe_head.state:
- STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE,
- STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE,
Instead of inactive_list, stripes with cached data are tracked in
r5conf->r5c_full_stripe_list and r5conf->r5c_partial_stripe_list.
STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE are flags for
stripes in these lists. Note: stripes in r5c_full/partial_stripe_list
are not considered as "active".
For RMW, the code allocates an extra page for each data block
being updated. This is stored in r5dev->orig_page and the old data
is read into it. Then the prexor calculation subtracts ->orig_page
from the parity block, and the reconstruct calculation adds the
->page data back into the parity block.
r5cache naturally excludes SkipCopy. When the array has write back
cache, async_copy_data() will not skip copy.
There are some known limitations of the cache implementation:
1. Write cache only covers full page writes (R5_OVERWRITE). Writes
of smaller granularity are write through.
2. Only one log io (sh->log_io) for each stripe at anytime. Later
writes for the same stripe have to wait. This can be improved by
moving log_io to r5dev.
3. With writeback cache, read path must enter state machine, which
is a significant bottleneck for some workloads.
4. There is no per stripe checkpoint (with r5l_payload_flush) in
the log, so recovery code has to replay more than necessary data
(sometimes all the log from last_checkpoint). This reduces
availability of the array.

This patch adds state machine for raid5-cache. With log device, the
raid456 array could operate in two different modes (r5c_journal_mode):
- write-back (R5C_MODE_WRITE_BACK)
- write-through (R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH)
Existing code of raid5-cache only has write-through mode. For write-back
cache, it is necessary to extend the state machine.
With write-back cache, every stripe could operate in two different
phases:
- caching
- writing-out
In caching phase, the stripe handles writes as:
- write to journal
- return IO
In writing-out phase, the stripe behaviors as a stripe in write through
mode R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH.
STRIPE_R5C_CACHING is added to sh->state to differentiate caching and
writing-out phase.
Please note: this is a "no-op" patch for raid5-cache write-through
mode.
The following detailed explanation is copied from the raid5-cache.c:
/*
* raid5 cache state machine
*
* With rhe RAID cache, each stripe works in two phases:
* - caching phase
* - writing-out phase
*
* These two phases are controlled by bit STRIPE_R5C_CACHING:
* if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 0, the stripe is in writing-out phase
* if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 1, the stripe is in caching phase
*
* When there is no journal, or the journal is in write-through mode,
* the stripe is always in writing-out phase.
*
* For write-back journal, the stripe is sent to caching phase on write
* (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying). r5c_make_stripe_write_out() kicks off
* the write-out phase by clearing STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.
*
* Stripes in caching phase do not write the raid disks. Instead, all
* writes are committed from the log device. Therefore, a stripe in
* caching phase handles writes as:
* - write to log device
* - return IO
*
* Stripes in writing-out phase handle writes as:
* - calculate parity
* - write pending data and parity to journal
* - write data and parity to raid disks
* - return IO for pending writes

Currently, r5l_write_stripe checks meta size for each stripe write,
which is not necessary.
With this patch, r5l_init_log checks maximal meta size of the array,
which is (r5l_meta_block + raid_disks x r5l_payload_data_parity).
If this is too big to fit in one page, r5l_init_log aborts.
With current meta data, r5l_log support raid_disks up to 203.

As long as we recover one metadata block, we should write the empty metadata
write. The original code could make recovery corrupted if only one meta is
valid.

If superblock points to an invalid meta block, r5l_load_log will set
create_super with true and create an new superblock, this runtime path
would always happen if we do no writing I/O to this array since it was
created. Writing an empty meta block could avoid this unnecessary
action at the first time we created log superblock.
Another reason is for the corretness of log recovery. Currently we have
bellow code to guarantee log revocery to be correct.
if (ctx.seq > log->last_cp_seq + 1) {
int ret;
ret = r5l_log_write_empty_meta_block(log, ctx.pos, ctx.seq + 10);
if (ret)
return ret;
log->seq = ctx.seq + 11;
log->log_start = r5l_ring_add(log, ctx.pos, BLOCK_SECTORS);
r5l_write_super(log, ctx.pos);
} else {
log->log_start = ctx.pos;
log->seq = ctx.seq;
}
If we just created a array with a journal device, log->log_start and
log->last_checkpoint should all be 0, then we write three meta block
which are valid except mid one and supposed crash happened. The ctx.seq
would equal to log->last_cp_seq + 1 and log->log_start would be set to
position of mid invalid meta block after we did a recovery, this will
lead to problems which could be avoided with this patch.

No initial operation was done to this field when we
load/recovery the log, it got assignment only when IO
to raid disk was finished. So r5l_quiesce may use wrong
next_checkpoint to reclaim log space, that would make
reclaimable space calculation confused.

There is a potential deadlock in superblock write. Discard could zero data, so
before discard we must make sure superblock is updated to new log tail.
Updating superblock (either directly call md_update_sb() or depend on md
thread) must hold reconfig mutex. On the other hand, raid5_quiesce is called
with reconfig_mutex hold. The first step of raid5_quiesce() is waitting for all
IO finish, hence waitting for reclaim thread, while reclaim thread is calling
this function and waitting for reconfig mutex. So there is a deadlock. We
workaround this issue with a trylock. The downside of the solution is we could
miss discard if we can't take reconfig mutex. But this should happen rarely
(mainly in raid array stop), so miss discard shouldn't be a big problem.

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.
