Other walks of this list are either under rcu_read_lock() or the list
mutation lock (mddev_lock()).  This protects against the improbable case of a
disk being removed from the array at the start of md_do_sync().

As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is
not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a
spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest
opportunity.
So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync
as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update
immediately after adding spares to a degraded array.

This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery
starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will
continue from wherever it was up to.  Previously this didn't happen
unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through.

We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid
arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors.
The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also
will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery.
Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated
recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for
extended periods of time.

With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of
corrected read attempts.  Each rdev will maintain a count of
read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not
used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error()
we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and
divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the
last read error. If at that point our read error count
exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device.

In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for
the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors
attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when
fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev.

For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject
IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap.
Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported.
'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location'
can be set.

'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is
currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock.

'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

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.

When a 'check' or 'repair' finished we should clear resync_min

A write intent bitmap can be removed from an array while the
array is active.
When this happens, all IO is suspended and flushed before the
bitmap is removed.
However it is possible that bitmap_daemon_work is still running to
clear old bits from the bitmap.  If it is, it can dereference the
bitmap after it has been freed.

So introduce a new mutex to protect bitmap_daemon_work and get it
before destroying a bitmap.

This is suitable for any current -stable kernel.

Each device has its own 'recovery_offset' showing how far
recovery has progressed on the device.
As the only real significance of this is that fact that it can
be stored in the metadata and recovered at restart, and as
only 1.x metadata can do this, we were only updating
'recovery_offset' to 'curr_resync_completed' when updating
v1.x metadata.
But this is wrong, and we will shortly make limited use of this
field in v0.90 metadata.

So move the update into common code.

If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it
until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that
point.
So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure),
leave 'resync_max' unchanged.

This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not
change the size of the array.  For such operations mdadm needs to
monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being
reshaped.  If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of
mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless.

This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices,
conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices.
However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of
currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes.
Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always
'new' i.e. ->raid_disks.
Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places.

This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while
in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices.

md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

This is simpler and more correct.

Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races.  But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.

If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.

So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'.  This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.

However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2.  This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.

This is bad for the above reason.  So change it to never increase by
two.  This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost.  The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.

Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

A recent commit:
  commit 449aad3e

introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between
bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex.

__blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes
   reconfig_mutex,
do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now
   takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk.

This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the
use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced
by
   commit d63a5a74
do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock.

It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks.
One protects the array data structures while it is being
reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially
open while it is being deactivated.
In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing
between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens,
and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is
set to NULL.  So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the
array is being destroyed.

So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between
'open' and 'stop'.

This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned
in commit d63a5a74

The v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow

If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage,

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.

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.
