3ff195b011 sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.
The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.

I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.

For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.

To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.

Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid

- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
  so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.

Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.

For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.

Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.

The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.

Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

1176568de7 md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down.
Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down.  Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.

However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:

   This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
    'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,

how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.

So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately.  There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update).  We just piggy-back on that.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

52cf25d0ab Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type
Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

ef286f6fa6 md: fix some lockdep issues between md and sysfs.
======
This fix is related to
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142
but does not address that exact issue.
======

sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed
(i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete.

As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while
removing those attributes a deadlock can occur.

This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock.

Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held.
This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to
delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad.

In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by
md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock.  This call is
only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set.  However we can be sure
that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code
was originally written.  This is because do_md_run is called in three
different contexts:
  1/ from md_ioctl.  This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it
     fails if ->gendisk is not set.
  2/ from writing a sysfs attribute.  This can only happen if the
     mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc
     after ->gendisk has been set.
  3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which
     checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array.
So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on
->gendisk can also go.


In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop,
purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the
component rdevs) to complete.  However there really isn't any need to
wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important
ways.

The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names
while the lock is held.  There is already some infrastructure in place
to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using
schedule_work).  So extend that infrastructure to remove the
raid5_attrs_group.

This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs
"s_active" lock.  The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep
context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

404e4b43fd md: allow a resync that is waiting for other resync to complete, to be aborted.
If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the
same time.  One will wait for the other to complete.
While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device
failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the
resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot
be remove while a resync is happening).

So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

0f9552b5dc md: fix small irregularity with start_ro module parameter
The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write.  This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device.  This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.

However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.

So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

cbd1998377 md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms
evms configures md arrays by:
  open device
  send ioctl
  close device

for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.

So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).

This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

e7d2860b69 tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

93be75ffde md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity.
As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is
not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a
spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest
opportunity.
So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync
as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update
immediately after adding spares to a degraded array.

This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery
starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will
continue from wherever it was up to.  Previously this didn't happen
unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through.

1e50915fe0 raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors.
We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.

With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts.  Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.

In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.

For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

43a705076e md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs.
A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.

'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.

'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

a2826aa92e md: support barrier requests on all personalities.
Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1.  This is because
other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed
a different approach.
Here is that approach.

When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active
device.  When that completes - and if the original request was not
empty -  we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag
cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers.

The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent
request will block until the barrier completes.

The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is
allowed to fail.  If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping
raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part
could fail.  That would be way too hard to deal with.
So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is
sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the
second run of barriers.

RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted
to the underlying devices yet.  So we flush the stripe cache before
proceeding with the barrier.

Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted
immediately after the original request is submitted.  Thus when
a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request,
it should not return from make_request until the corresponding
per-device request(s) have been queued.

That will be done in later patches.

aa5cbd1038 md/bitmap: protect against bitmap removal while being updated.
A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap.  If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.

So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.

This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.

6d4561110a sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.
For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

0261cd9f1c md: allow v0.91 metadata to record devices as being active but not in-sync.
This is a combination that didn't really make sense before.
However when a reshape is converting e.g. raid5 -> raid6, the extra
device is not fully in-sync, but is certainly active and contains
important data.
So allow that start to be meaningful and in particular get
the 'recovery_offset' value (which is needed for any non-in-sync
active device) from the reshape_position.

5e8651060c md: factor out updating of 'recovery_offset'.
Each device has its own 'recovery_offset' showing how far
recovery has progressed on the device.
As the only real significance of this is that fact that it can
be stored in the metadata and recovered at restart, and as
only 1.x metadata can do this, we were only updating
'recovery_offset' to 'curr_resync_completed' when updating
v1.x metadata.
But this is wrong, and we will shortly make limited use of this
field in v0.90 metadata.

So move the update into common code.

24395a85d8 md: don't clear endpoint for resync when resync is interrupted.
If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it
until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that
point.
So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure),
leave 'resync_max' unchanged.

This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not
change the size of the array.  For such operations mdadm needs to
monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being
reshaped.  If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of
mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless.

This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

5e5e3e78ed md: Fix handling of raid5 array which is being reshaped to fewer devices.
When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices,
conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices.
However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of
currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes.
Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always
'new' i.e. ->raid_disks.
Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places.

This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while
in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices.

md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

0da3c6194e md: Improve name of threads created by md_register_thread
The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called
mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and
can be confusion.

So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality
unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given.

This is simpler and more correct.

4d484a4a7a md: allow upper limit for resync/reshape to be set when array is read-only
Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races.  But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.

If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.

So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

51d5668cb2 md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1.
When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'.  This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.

However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2.  This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.

This is bad for the above reason.  So change it to never increase by
two.  This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost.  The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.

Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

c8c00a6915 Remove deadlock potential in md_open
A recent commit:
  commit 449aad3e25

introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between
bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex.

__blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes
   reconfig_mutex,
do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now
   takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk.

This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the
use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced
by
   commit d63a5a74de
do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock.

It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks.
One protects the array data structures while it is being
reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially
open while it is being deactivated.
In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing
between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens,
and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is
set to NULL.  So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the
array is being destroyed.

So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between
'open' and 'stop'.

This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned
in commit d63a5a74d

449aad3e25 md: Use revalidate_disk to effect changes in size of device.
As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause
any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev
inode.  So use that instead of mucking about with locks and
i_size_write.

Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places
where the gendisk capacity is changed.

70471dafe3 md: Handle growth of v1.x metadata correctly.
The v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow
when devices are added.
If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage,
we need to update the 'sb_size' to match.

Without this, md can write out an incomplete superblock with a
bad checksum, which will be rejected when trying to re-assemble
the array.

When an array is changed from RAID6 to RAID5, fewer drives are

ac5e7113e7 md: Push down data integrity code to personalities.
This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

e62e58a5ff md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits
when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short
while.
When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an
interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are
not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.
