NeilBrown b39685526f md/raid10: Fix memory leak when raid10 reshape completes.
When a raid10 commences a resync/recovery/reshape it allocates
some buffer space.
When a resync/recovery completes the buffer space is freed.  But not
when the reshape completes.
This can result in a small memory leak.

There is a subtle side-effect of this bug.  When a RAID10 is reshaped
to a larger array (more devices), the reshape is immediately followed
by a "resync" of the new space.  This "resync" will use the buffer
space which was allocated for "reshape".  This can cause problems
including a "BUG" in the SCSI layer.  So this is suitable for -stable.

NeilBrown ce0b0a4695 md/raid10: fix memory leak when reshaping a RAID10.
raid10 reshape clears unwanted bits from a bio->bi_flags using
a method which, while clumsy, worked until 3.10 when BIO_OWNS_VEC
was added.
Since then it clears that bit but shouldn't.  This results in a
memory leak.

So change to used the approved method of clearing unwanted bits.

As this causes a memory leak which can consume all of memory
the fix is suitable for -stable.

NeilBrown 2446dba03f md/raid1,raid10: always abort recover on write error.
Currently we don't abort recovery on a write error if the write error
to the recovering device was triggerd by normal IO (as opposed to
recovery IO).

This means that for one bitmap region, the recovery might write to the
recovering device for a few sectors, then not bother for subsequent
sectors (as it never writes to failed devices).  In this case
the bitmap bit will be cleared, but it really shouldn't.

The result is that if the recovering device fails and is then re-added
(after fixing whatever hardware problem triggerred the failure),
the second recovery won't redo the region it was in the middle of,
so some of the device will not be recovered properly.

If we abort the recovery, the region being processes will be cancelled
(bit not cleared) and the whole region will be retried.

As the bug can result in data corruption the patch is suitable for
-stable.  For kernels prior to 3.11 there is a conflict in raid10.c
which will require care.

NeilBrown cc13b1d150 md/raid10: call wait_barrier() for each request submitted.
wait_barrier() includes a counter, so we must call it precisely once
(unless balanced by allow_barrier()) for each request submitted.

Since
commit 20d0189b10
    block: Introduce new bio_split()
in 3.14-rc1, we don't call it for the extra requests generated when
we need to split a bio.

When this happens the counter goes negative, any resync/recovery will
never start, and  "mdadm --stop" will hang.

commit e875ecea26
    md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery.

added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad
block rather than fail the whole recovery.
Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather
than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio.
This is will crash with a null dereference.

So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.

NeilBrown b50c259e25 md/raid10: fix two bugs in handling of known-bad-blocks.
If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and
potentially read some of it from a different device.

The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10.
1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!!
2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly
   seen by comparison with raid1.c

This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10
ever had known bad blocks.

Kent Overstreet 20d0189b10 block: Introduce new bio_split()
The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.

Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.

(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly
documented semantics anyways.)

Kent Overstreet 458b76ed2f block: Kill bio_segments()/bi_vcnt usage
When we start sharing biovecs, keeping bi_vcnt accurate for splits is
going to be error prone - and unnecessary, if we refactor some code.

So bio_segments() has to go - but most of the existing users just needed
to know if the bio had multiple segments, which is easier - add a
bio_multiple_segments() for them.

(Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a
couple patches, but the current implementation of bio_segments() is
unsafe as soon as we start doing driver conversions for immutable
biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away
in a couple patches)

NeilBrown c91abf5a35 md: use MD_RECOVERY_INTR instead of kthread_should_stop in resync thread.
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.

Lukasz Dorau 61e4947c99 md: Fix skipping recovery for read-only arrays.
Since:
        commit 7ceb17e87b
        md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.

spares are activated on a read-only array. In case of raid1 and raid10
personalities it causes that not-in-sync devices are marked in-sync
without checking if recovery has been finished.

If a read-only array is degraded and one of its devices is not in-sync
(because the array has been only partially recovered) recovery will be skipped.

This patch adds checking if recovery has been finished before marking a device
in-sync for raid1 and raid10 personalities. In case of raid5 personality
such condition is already present (at raid5.c:6029).

Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption.

NeilBrown 7bb23c4934 md/raid10: fix two problems with RAID10 resync.
1/ When an different between blocks is found, data is copied from
   one bio to the other.  However bv_len is used as the length to
   copy and this could be zero.  So use r10_bio->sectors to calculate
   length instead.
   Using bv_len was probably always a bit dubious, but the introduction
   of bio_advance made it much more likely to be a problem.

2/ When preparing some blocks for sync, we don't set BIO_UPTODATE
   except on bios that we schedule for a read.  This ensures that
   missing/failed devices don't confuse the loop at the top of
   sync_request write.
   Commit 8be185f2c9 "raid10: Use bio_reset()"
   removed a loop which set BIO_UPTDATE on all appropriate bios.
   So we need to re-add that flag.

These bugs were introduced in 3.10, so this patch is suitable for
3.10-stable, and can remove a potential for data corruption.

The recent comment:
commit 7e83ccbecd
    md/raid10: Allow skipping recovery when clean arrays are assembled

Causes raid10 to skip a recovery in certain cases where it is safe to
do so.  Unfortunately it also causes a reshape to be skipped which is
never safe.  The result is that an attempt to reshape a RAID10 will
appear to complete instantly, but no data will have been moves so the
array will now contain garbage.
(If nothing is written, you can recovery by simple performing the
reverse reshape which will also complete instantly).

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.

NeilBrown 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.

H. Peter Anvin 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.
