md/r5cache: State machine for raid5-cache write back mode

liu-song-6 · shligit · commit 2ded370373a4 · 2016-11-18T13:26:07.000-08:00
This patch adds state machine for raid5-cache. With log device, the
raid456 array could operate in two different modes (r5c_journal_mode):
  - write-back (R5C_MODE_WRITE_BACK)
  - write-through (R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH)

Existing code of raid5-cache only has write-through mode. For write-back
cache, it is necessary to extend the state machine.

With write-back cache, every stripe could operate in two different
phases:
  - caching
  - writing-out

In caching phase, the stripe handles writes as:
  - write to journal
  - return IO

In writing-out phase, the stripe behaviors as a stripe in write through
mode R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH.

STRIPE_R5C_CACHING is added to sh-&gt;state to differentiate caching and
writing-out phase.

Please note: this is a "no-op" patch for raid5-cache write-through
mode.

The following detailed explanation is copied from the raid5-cache.c:

/*
 * raid5 cache state machine
 *
 * With rhe RAID cache, each stripe works in two phases:
 *      - caching phase
 *      - writing-out phase
 *
 * These two phases are controlled by bit STRIPE_R5C_CACHING:
 *   if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 0, the stripe is in writing-out phase
 *   if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 1, the stripe is in caching phase
 *
 * When there is no journal, or the journal is in write-through mode,
 * the stripe is always in writing-out phase.
 *
 * For write-back journal, the stripe is sent to caching phase on write
 * (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying). r5c_make_stripe_write_out() kicks off
 * the write-out phase by clearing STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.
 *
 * Stripes in caching phase do not write the raid disks. Instead, all
 * writes are committed from the log device. Therefore, a stripe in
 * caching phase handles writes as:
 *      - write to log device
 *      - return IO
 *
 * Stripes in writing-out phase handle writes as:
 *      - calculate parity
 *      - write pending data and parity to journal
 *      - write data and parity to raid disks
 *      - return IO for pending writes
