This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if
such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.[snitzer@gmail.com: export bitmap_cond_end_sync]

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size. So don't do that either.While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.
So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

There are two errors that can lead to recovery problems with raid10
when used in 'far' more (not the default).Due to a '>' instead of '>=' the wrong block is located which would result in
garbage being written to some random location, quite possible outside the
range of the device, causing the newly reconstructed device to fail.The device size calculation had some rounding errors (it didn't round when it
should) and so recovery would go a few blocks too far which would again cause
a write to a random block address and probably a device error.The code for working with device sizes was fairly confused and spread out, so
this has been tided up a bit.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

md raidX make_request functions strip off the BIO_RW_SYNC flag, thus
introducing additional latency.Fixing this in raid1 and raid10 seems to be straightforward enough.
For our particular usage case in DRBD, passing this flag improved some
initialization time from ~5 minutes to ~5 seconds.Acked-by: NeilBrown

raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through
bdi_*_congested, but should.This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested'
status of all active members (with appropriate locking).raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where
bdi_read_congested returns false. Then we could use the '&' branch rather
than the '|' branch. However that should would need some benchmarking first
to make sure it is actually a good idea.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent
errors could trigger a problem.So:
- use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise
the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count
- use the spinlock to protect updates to the
degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that
would be a bigger change in code, and isn't
really justified)

Instead of magic numbers (0,1,2,3) in sb_dirty, we have
some flags instead:
MD_CHANGE_DEVS
Some device state has changed requiring superblock update
on all devices.
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN
The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back,
requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly
not on spares
MD_CHANGE_PENDING
A superblock update is underway.We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear. A
flag can be set at any time, even during an update, without risk that the
change will be lost.Stop exporting md_update_sb - isn't needed.

The "industry standard" DDF format allows for a stripe/offset layout where
data is duplicated on different stripes. e.g.A B C D
D A B C
E F G H
H E F G(columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data).
This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same. So enhance
'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs
stripe/offset.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

For a while we have had checkpointing of resync. The version-1 superblock
allows recovery to be checkpointed as well, and this patch implements that.Due to early carelessness we need to add a feature flag to signal that the
recovery_offset field is in use, otherwise older kernels would assume that a
partially recovered array is in fact fully recovered.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown

The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10
currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used
to write to the next device. This is not a safe assumption to make.So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so
that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.Cc: Paul Clements

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.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown
