render the RAID set completely dead. Instead, we retry the IO a
maximum of RF_RETRY_THRESHOLD times (currently '5'), and then just
return an IO error if the IO fails. This should reduce the damage
caused by having multiple disks appear to fail when the culprit is
really something else (power, controllers, etc.)
rf_PrintUserStats() was mean for the simulator, and doesn't provide
any real info in kernel-space, especially for reconstructs.
Reconstructing actually renders the stats even more useless, since it
resets them all to zero before the reconstruct starts!
- since rf_PrintUserStats() is no longer used, nuke it along with the
routines that feed it. Nothing was using this code, and if we ever
need it again, we know where to find it.
of strenuous agreement, and some general agreement, this commit is
going ahead because it's now starting to block some other changes I
wish to make.]
Remove most of the support for the concept of "rows" from RAIDframe.
While the "row" interface has been exported to the world, RAIDframe
internals have really only supported a single row, even though they
have feigned support of multiple rows.
Nothing changes in configuration land -- config files still need to
specify a single row, etc. All auto-config structures remain fully
forward/backwards compatible.
The only visible difference to the average user should be a
reduction in the size of a GENERIC kernel (i386) by 4.5K. For those
of us trolling through RAIDframe kernel code, a lot of the driver
configuration code has become a LOT easier to read.
the stuff that used to live in rf_types.h, rf_raidframe.h, rf_layout.h,
rf_netbsd.h, rf_raid.h, rf_decluster,h, and a few other places.
Believe it or not, when this is all done, things will be cleaner.
No functional changes to RAIDframe.
- make component_label variables more consistent (==> clabel)
- re-work incorrect component configuration code
- re-work disk configuration code
- cleanup initial configuration of raidPtr info
- add auto-detection of components and RAID sets (Disabled, for now)
- allow / on RAID sets (Disabled, for now)
- rename "config_disk_queue" to "rf_ConfigureDiskQueue" and properly prototype
in rf_diskqueue.h
- protect some headers with #if _KERNEL (XXX this needs to be fixed properly)
and cleanup header formatting.
- expand the component labels (yes, they should be backward/forward compatible)
- other bits and pieces (some function names are still bogus, and will get
changed soon)
out-dated comments, and other unneeded stuff. This helps prepare
for cleaning up the rest of the code, and adding new functionality.
No functional changes to the kernel code in this commit.
Carnegie Mellon University. Full RAID implementation, including
levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, parity logging, and a few other goodies.
Ported to NetBSD by Greg Oster.
