Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

md: move lots of #include lines out of .h files and into .c This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include other files. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

[PATCH] md: support md/linear array with components greater than 2 terabytes. linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems. So we introduce a pre-shift, and take care not to make the hash table too large, much like the code in raid0. Also get rid of conf->nr_zones, which is not needed.

md: Move check for bitmap presence to personality code. If the superblock of a component device indicates the presence of a bitmap but the corresponding raid personality does not support bitmaps (raid0, linear, multipath, faulty), then something is seriously wrong and we'd better refuse to run such an array. Currently, this check is performed while the superblocks are examined, i.e. before entering personality code. Therefore the generic md layer must know which raid levels support bitmaps and which do not. This patch avoids this layer violation without adding identical code to various personalities. This is accomplished by introducing a new public function to md.c, md_check_no_bitmap(), which replaces the hard-coded checks in the superblock loading functions. A call to md_check_no_bitmap() is added to the ->run method of each personality which does not support bitmaps and assembly is aborted if at least one component device contains a bitmap.

Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

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. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org>

The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

md: add 'size' as a personality method In preparation for giving userspace control over ->array_sectors we need to be able to retrieve the 'default' size, and the 'anticipated' size when a reshape is requested. For personalities that do not reshape emit a warning if anything but the default size is requested. In the raid5 case we need to update ->previous_raid_disks to make the new 'default' size available.
