[ 135.300005] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This is because raid5d() can be running when the multi-thread
resources are changed via system. We see need to provide locking.
mddev->device_lock is suitable, but we cannot simple call
alloc_thread_groups under this lock as we cannot allocate memory
while holding a spinlock.
So change alloc_thread_groups() to allocate and return the data
structures, then raid5_store_group_thread_cnt() can take the lock
while updating the pointers to the data structures.
This fixes a bug introduced in 3.12 and so is suitable for the 3.12.x
stable series.

[ 740.962001] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This can happen if there are some stripes left, fewer than MAX_STRIPE_BATCH.
A worker is queued to handle them.
But before calling raid5_do_work, raid5d handles those
stripes making conf->active_stripe = 0.
So mddev_suspend() can return.
We might then free old worker resources before the queued
raid5_do_work() handled them. When it runs, it crashes.

To avoid this, we should only flush the worker resources before freeing them.

There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

when reconfiguring the array.
We used to use raise_barrier to suspend normal IO while we reconfigure
the array. However raise_barrier will soon only suspend some normal
IO, not all. So we need something else.
Change it to use freeze_array.
But freeze_array not only suspends normal io, it also suspends
resync io.
For the place where call raise_barrier for reconfigure, it isn't a
problem.

md_stop_writes.
When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack
badblock until md_update_sb() is called.
But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call
md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always
be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write()
can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock.
To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is
running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for
sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock.
This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR
(which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a
metadata update in that case.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.
So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.
Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

Because of block layer merge, one bio fails will cause other bios
which belongs to the same request fails, so raid5_end_read_request
will record all these bios as badblocks.
If retry request with R5_ReadNoMerge flag to avoid bios merge,
badblocks can only record sector which is bad exactly.

Pull second round of block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"As mentioned in the original pull request, the bcache bits were pulled
because of their dependency on the immutable bio vecs. Kent re-did
this part and resubmitted it, so here's the 2nd round of (mostly)
driver updates for 3.13. It contains:
- The bcache work from Kent.
- Conversion of virtio-blk to blk-mq. This removes the bio and request
path, and substitutes with the blk-mq path instead. The end result
almost 200 deleted lines. Patch is acked by Asias and Christoph, who
both did a bunch of testing.
- A removal of bootmem.h include from Grygorii Strashko, part of a
larger series of his killing the dependency on that header file.
- Removal of __cpuinit from blk-mq from Paul Gortmaker"

get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two
paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is
stripe is found.
The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses
conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks,
conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded,
conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except
stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely.
With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free
stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined
by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a
lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which
is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current
stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned
to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl
list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new
locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash
locks, lock contention is relieved significantly.
The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are
changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash
locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem.
If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The
tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first.
Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it
to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to
temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash
lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which
means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe.
One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't
across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so
each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but
other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are
even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several
mega bytes memory isn't a big deal.
This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of
get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though
because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended,
the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second
path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size
randwrite) still has lock contentions.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue'
has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in
md_alloc().
However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine
for the new level is called for an array which has already had the
stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final
settings.
So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store().
A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes
discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a
RAID0.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which
blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

Improve reliability of buffer allocations for dm messages with a small
number of arguments, a couple path group initialization fixes for dm
multipath, a fix for resizing a dm array, various fixes and
optimizations for dm cache, a fix for device mapper's Kconfig menu

(useful for forensics of these old TCRYPT containers)
- reduced dm-cache memory requirements for each block in the cache
- basic support for shrinking a dm-cache's cache (fast) device

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.
- Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.
- A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.
- Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.
- Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.
- A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout
handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict
with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.
- A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.
- A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
Overstreet.
- A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop
crash and memory corruption on blk cg.
- Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.
A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable
bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to
pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward
rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of
problems with it. The rest of the patches applied directly and no
further changes were made"

Cache block invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without
writing it back. Cache blocks can be invalidated via the
'invalidate_cblocks' message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock
ranges:
invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]*

Rather than storing the cblock in each cache entry, we allocate all
entries in an array and infer the cblock from the entry position.
Saves 4 bytes of memory per cache block. In addition, this gives us an
easy way of looking up cache entries by cblock.
We no longer need to keep an explicit bitset to track which cblocks
have been allocated. And no searching is needed to find free cblocks.

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or
writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not
known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows:
* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
hits cause cache block invalidates
This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.
Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

Big garbage collection rewrite; now, garbage collection uses the same
mechanisms as used elsewhere for inserting/updating btree node pointers,
instead of rewriting interior btree nodes in place.
This makes the code significantly cleaner and less fragile, and means we
can now make garbage collection incremental - it doesn't have to hold a
write lock on the root of the btree for the entire duration of garbage
collection.
This means that there's less of a latency hit for doing garbage
collection, which means we can gc more frequently (and do a better job
of reclaiming from the cache), and we can coalesce across more btree
nodes (improving our space efficiency).

The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent
the newly allocated bucket from being garbage collected until we've
added a pointer to it somewhere. But for btree node allocations, the
fact that we have btree nodes locked is enough to guard against races
with garbage collection.
Eventually the per bucket refcount is going to be replaced with
something specific to bch_alloc_sectors().

Previously, bch_ptr_bad() could return false when there was a pointer to
a nonexistant device... it only filtered out keys with PTR_CHECK_DEV
pointers.
This behaviour was intended for multiple cache device support; for that,
just because the device for one of the pointers has gone away doesn't
mean we want to filter out the rest of the pointers.
But we don't yet explicitly filter/check individual pointers, so without
that this behaviour was wrong - a corrupt bkey with a bad device pointer
could cause us to deref a bad pointer. Doh.
