I noticed that you took some time back in late 2009 to 'consolidate' the
split format-strings present in the bonding driver at the time and I've
decided I'm fine to leave them the way they are. The main point of my

Many are using sysfs to configure bonding rather than module options, so

bonding: fix string comparison errors

This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.
V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.
I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.

sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types.
The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".
As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.
We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.
For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need
to add a couple, for example:
T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.
T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.
T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.
T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.
So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

md/raid10: Handle read errors during recovery better.
Currently when we get a read error during recovery, we simply abort
the recovery.
Instead, repeat the read in page-sized blocks.
On successful reads, write to the target.
On read errors, record a bad block on the destination,
and only if that fails do we abort the recovery.
As we now retry reads we need to know where we read from. This was in
bi_sector but that can be changed during a read attempt.
So store the correct from_addr and to_addr in the r10_bio for later
access.
md/raid10: simplify read error handling during recovery.
If a read error is detected during recovery the code currently
fails the read device.
This isn't really necessary. recovery_request_write will signal
a write error to end_sync_write and it will record a write
error on the destination device which will record a bad block
there or kick it from the array.
md/raid10: attempt to fix read errors during resync/check
We already attempt to fix read errors found during normal IO
and a 'repair' process.
It is best to try to repair them at any time they are found,
so move a test so that during sync and check a read error will
be corrected by over-writing with good data.
If both (all) devices have known bad blocks in the sync section we
won't try to fix even though the bad blocks might not overlap. That
should be considered later.
Also if we hit a read error during recovery we don't try to fix it.
It would only be possible to fix if there were at least three copies
of data, which is not very common with RAID10. But it should still
be considered later.
md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery.
When recovering one or more devices, if all the good devices have
bad blocks we should record a bad block on the device being rebuilt.
If this fails, we need to abort the recovery.
To ensure we don't think that we aborted later than we actually did,
we need to move the check for MD_RECOVERY_INTR earlier in md_do_sync,
in particular before mddev->curr_resync is updated.
md/raid10 - avoid reading from known bad blocks - part 3
When attempting to repair a read error, don't read from
devices with a known bad block.
As we are only reading PAGE_SIZE blocks, we don't try to
narrow down to smaller regions in the hope that only part of this
page is bad - it isn't worth the effort.
md/raid10: avoid reading from known bad blocks - part 1
This patch just covers the basic read path:
1/ read_balance needs to check for badblocks, and return not only
the chosen slot, but also how many good blocks are available
there.
2/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
device, but can still be served by the array.
This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
On read error we currently just fail the request if another target
cannot handle the whole request. Next patch refines that a bit.
When a loop ends with a large if, it can be neater to change the
if to invert the condition and just 'continue'.
Then the body of the if can be indented to a lower level.
md/raid5: use bad-block log to improve handling of uncorrectable read errors.
If we get an uncorrectable read error - record a bad block rather than
failing the device.
And if these errors (which may be due to known bad blocks) cause
recovery to be impossible, record a bad block on the recovering
devices, or abort the recovery.
As we might abort a recovery without failing a device we need to teach
RAID5 about recovery_disabled handling.
There are two times that we might read in raid5:
1/ when a read request fits within a chunk on a single
working device.
In this case, if there is any bad block in the range of
the read, we simply fail the cache-bypass read and
perform the read though the stripe cache.
2/ when reading into the stripe cache. In this case we
mark as failed any device which has a bad block in that
strip (1 page wide).
Note that we will both avoid reading and avoid writing.
This is correct (as we will never read from the block, there
is no point writing), but not optimal (as writing could 'fix'
the error) - that will be addressed later.
If we have not seen any write errors on the device yet, we treat a bad
block like a recent read error. This will encourage an attempt to fix
the read error which will either generate a write error, or will
ensure good data is stored there. We don't yet forget the bad block
in that case. That comes later.
Now that we honour bad blocks when reading we can allow devices with
bad blocks into the array.
md/raid1: improve handling of read failure during recovery.
If we cannot read a block from anywhere during recovery, there is
now a better approach than just giving up.
We can record a bad block on each device and keep going - being
careful not to clear the bad block when a write succeeds as it might -
it will be a write of incorrect data.
We have now reached the state where - for raid1 - we only call
md_error if md_set_badblocks has failed.

md/raid1: record badblocks found during resync etc.
If we find a bad block while writing as part of resync/recovery we
need to report that back to raid1d which must record the bad block,
or fail the device.
Similarly when fixing a read error, a further error should just
record a bad block if possible rather than failing the device.

When performing write-behind we allocate pages to store the data
during write.
Previously we just keep a list of pages. Now we keep a list of
bi_vec which includes offset and size.
This means that the r1bio has complete information to create a new
bio which will be needed for retrying after write errors.

md/raid1: avoid writing to known-bad blocks on known-bad drives.
If we have seen any write error on a drive, then don't write to
any known-bad blocks on that drive.
If necessary, we divide the write request up into pieces just
like we do for reads, so each piece is either all written or
all not written to any given drive.

md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.
If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.
We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.
This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.
It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.
When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).
We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata. This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed. Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.
Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.
The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks. So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.
If a device has ever seen a write error, we will want to handle
known-bad-blocks differently.
So create an appropriate state flag and export it via sysfs.

md/raid1: avoid reading known bad blocks during resync
When performing resync/etc, keep the size of the request
small enough that it doesn't overlap any known bad blocks.
Devices with badblocks at the start of the request are completely
excluded.
If there is nowhere to read from due to bad blocks, record
a bad block on each target device.
Now that we never read from known-bad-blocks we can allow devices with
known-bad-blocks into a RAID1.
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
there.
2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
device, but can still be served by the array.
This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
and queue another request for the rest.
This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.
'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.
Space must have been allocated when array was created.
A feature flag is set when the badblock list is non-empty, to
ensure old kernels don't load and trust the whole device.
We only update the on-disk badblocklist when it has changed.
If the badblocklist (or other metadata) is stored on a bad block, we
don't cope very well.
If metadata has no room for bad block, flag bad-blocks as disabled,
and do the same for 0.90 metadata.
