 allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent.  Some transport
 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,

NeilBrown [Fri, 6 Jan 2006 08:20:36 +0000 (00:20 -0800)]
[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  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.

[PATCH] md: make /proc/mdstat pollable

With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing
or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing,
and devices being added and removed.

It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that:

We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if
only for EOF).

We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect
it as an exceptional event.  Not only are these exceptional events, but
that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events
(It also polls after a timeout).
(We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts).

Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file
is read, rather than when poll() returns an event.  This is more robust as it
means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the
program clearly responds to that activity.

md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

[PATCH] md: raid10 read-error handling - resync and read-only

Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations.

When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in
the r10_bio so we don't re-try it.  During resync, we always read all blocks,
so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that
we found (assuming we found one).

Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way.  There
is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case.  If there are 3 or more copies,
then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a
bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.

(md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed
under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set.  So just use that access...
However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the

recovery.

The key differences are that we don't need to freeze the array, because the
normal handling of resync means that this part of the array will be idle
except for resync, and the read/overwrite/re-read is needed in a separate
piece of code.
