Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
- Making the plugging support for drivers a bit more sane from Neil.
This supersedes the plugging change from Shaohua as well.
- The usual round of drbd updates.
- Using a tail add instead of a head add in the request completion for
ndb, making us find the most completed request more quickly.
- A few floppy changes, getting rid of a duplicated flag and also
running the floppy init async (since it takes forever in boot terms)
from Andi.
* 'for-3.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
floppy: remove duplicated flag FD_RAW_NEED_DISK
blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions.
block: stack unplug
blk: centralize non-request unplug handling.
md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.
block/nbd: micro-optimization in nbd request completion
drbd: announce FLUSH/FUA capability to upper layers
drbd: fix max_bio_size to be unsigned
drbd: flush drbd work queue before invalidate/invalidate remote
drbd: fix potential access after free
drbd: call local-io-error handler early
drbd: do not reset rs_pending_cnt too early
drbd: reset congestion information before reporting it in /proc/drbd
drbd: report congestion if we are waiting for some userland callback
drbd: differentiate between normal and forced detach
drbd: cleanup, remove two unused global flags
floppy: Run floppy initialization asynchronous
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I
cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and
testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not
show any performance difference by removing it.
So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to
be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active.
This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the
updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that
the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large
numbers of updates together.
Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and
will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a
measurable effect.

'sync' writes set both REQ_SYNC and REQ_NOIDLE.
O_DIRECT writes set REQ_SYNC but not REQ_NOIDLE.
We currently assume that a REQ_SYNC request will not be followed by
more requests and so set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE to expedite the
request.
This is appropriate for sync requests, but not for O_DIRECT requests.
So make the setting of STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE conditional on REQ_NOIDLE
rather than REQ_SYNC. This is consistent with the documented meaning
of REQ_NOIDLE:
__REQ_NOIDLE, /* don't anticipate more IO after this one */

Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce
lock contention of conf->device_lock.
stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock. Accessing bio
list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the
lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like
ops_run_biofill()) not race.
If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we
don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will
protect them. If the bio are shared, there are two protections:
1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count
2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio
not belonging to the stripe
Let's have an example:
| stripe1 | stripe2 | stripe3 |
...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4.....
stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for
all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to
bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2
because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and
stripe3 will end_bio bio4.
before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio
bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

Neil pointed out the bitmap write optimization in handle_stripe_clean_event()
is unnecessary, because the chance one stripe gets written twice in the mean
time is rare. We can always do a bitmap_startwrite when a write request is
added to a stripe and bitmap_endwrite after write request is done. Delete the
optimization. With it, we can delete some cases of device_lock.

The value returned by "mddev_check_plug" is only valid until the
next 'schedule' as that will unplug things. This could happen at any
call to mempool_alloc.
So just calling mddev_check_plug at the start doesn't really make
sense.
So call it just before, or just after, queuing things for the thread.
As the action that happens at unplug is to wake the thread, this makes
lots of sense.
If we cannot add a plug (which requires a small GFP_ATOMIC alloc) we
wake thread immediately.
RAID5 is a bit different. Requests are queued for the thread and the
thread is woken by release_stripe. So we don't need to wake the
thread on failure.
However the thread doesn't perform certain actions when there is any
active plug, so it is important to install a plug before waking the
thread. So for RAID5 we install the plug *before* queuing the request
and waking the thread.
Without this patch it is possible for raid1 or raid10 to queue a
request without then waking the thread, resulting in the array locking
up.
Also change raid10 to only flush_pending_write when there are not
active plugs, just like raid1.
This patch is suitable for 3.0 or later. I plan to submit it to
-stable, but I'll like to let it spend a few weeks in mainline
first to be sure it is completely safe.

There isn't locking setting STRIPE_DELAYED and STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE bits, but
the two bits have relationship. A delayed stripe can be moved to hold list only
when preread active stripe count is below IO_THRESHOLD. If a stripe has both
the bits set, such stripe will be in delayed list and preread count not 0,
which will make such stripe never leave delayed list.

Having the 'name' arg optional and defaulting to the current
personality name is no necessary and leads to errors, as when
changing the level of an array we can end up using the
name of the old level instead of the new one.
So make it non-optional and always explicitly pass the name
of the level that the array will be.

commit 43220aa0f2
md/raid5: fix a hang on device failure.
fixed a hang, but introduced a refcounting in-balance so
that if the presence of bad-blocks ever caused an rdev to
be 'blocked' we would increment the refcount on the rdev and
never decrement it.
So added the needed rdev_dec_pending when md_wait_for_blocked_rdev
is not called.

In chunk_aligned_read() we are adding data_offset before calling

If a RAID5 has both a failed device and a device marked as
'WantReplacement', then we should preferentially replace the failed
device.
However the current code replaces whichever is found first.
So split into 2 loops, check fail failed/missing first, and only check
for WantReplacement if nothing is failed or missing.

After a reshape which reduced the number of devices we need
to disconnect the extra devices.
The code for this doesn't currently handle 'replacement' devices.
It is very unlikely that such devices will be present, but it is
safest to handle them anyway.
So simplify the handling. Just clear In_sync and leave it
to remove_and_add_spaces (which will be called soon) to do
the real works.

When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).
So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.
(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
zero to avoid a repeat of this)
The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.
This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be. At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.
When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors. So provide an exported function to do that.

Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.
To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
reversed and it will undo.
However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
wait until it completes.
So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.
This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
change in a reshape. Then the explicit statement of what direction is
being used will be more useful.
This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.
