When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'. It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.
So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.
Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.
Without this patch, a sequence of:
mknod / open / close / unlink
(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.
With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.
This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35.

'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.
this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.
However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.
So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

If the desired size of an array is set (via sysfs) before the array is
active (which is the normal sequence), we currrently call set_capacity
immediately.
This means that a subsequent 'open' (as can be caused by some
udev-triggers program) will notice the new size and try to probe for
partitions. However as the array isn't quite ready yet the read will
fail. Then when the array is read, as the size doesn't change again
we don't try to re-probe.
So when setting array size via sysfs, only call set_capacity if the
array is already active.

md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add
after it was calling the make_request function. This is
bad because the make_request function can free the bio and
because the bi_size field can change around.
The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe. It saves the
sector count before the make_request call. I hit this
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break
his pretty fusionio card.

Activating a spare in an array while resync/recovery is already

There is no need to set this to zero at this point. It will be
set to zero by remove_and_add_spares or at the start of
md_do_sync at the latest.
And setting it to zero before MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is cleared can
make a 'zero' appear briefly in the 'sync_completed' sysfs attribute
just as resync is finishing.
So simply remove this setting to zero.

remove_and_add_spares is called in two places where the needs really
are very different.
remove_and_add_spares should not be called on an array which is about
to be reshaped as some extra devices might have been manually added
and that would remove them. However if the array is 'read-auto',
that will currently happen, which is bad.
So in the 'ro != 0' case don't call remove_and_add_spares but simply
remove the failed devices as the comment suggests is needed.

This flag is not needed and is used badly.
Devices that are included in a native-metadata array are reserved
exclusively for that array - and currently have AllReserved set.
They all are bd_claimed for the rdev and so cannot be shared.
Devices that are included in external-metadata arrays can be shared
among multiple arrays - providing there is no overlap.
These are bd_claimed for md in general - not for a particular rdev.
When changing the amount of a device that is used in an array we need
to check for overlap. This currently includes a check on AllReserved
So even without overlap, sharing with an AllReserved device is not
allowed.
However the bd_claim usage already precludes sharing with these
devices, so the test on AllReserved is not needed. And in fact it is
wrong.
As this is the only use of AllReserved, simply remove all usage and
definition of AllReserved.

Commit e09b457b (block: simplify holder symlink handling) incorrectly
assumed that there is only one link at maximum. dm may use multiple
links and expects block layer to track reference count for each link,
which is different from and unrelated to the exclusive device holder
identified by @holder when the device is opened.
Remove the single holder assumption and automatic removal of the link
and revive the per-link reference count tracking. The code
essentially behaves the same as before commit e09b457b sans the
unnecessary kobject reference count dancing.
While at it, note that this facility should not be used by anyone else

This bug was introduced in commit e93f68a1fc in 2.6.35-rc4

As the extra drive is not removed, the 'degraded' counter is wrong and
so the RAID5 will not respond correctly to a subsequent failure.

The sysfs attributes 'suspend_lo' and 'suspend_hi' describe a region
to which read/writes are suspended so that the under lying data can be
manipulated without user-space noticing.
Currently the window they describe can only move forwards along the

mddev->curr_resync has artificial values of '1' and '2' which are used
by the code which ensures only one resync is happening at a time on
any given device.
These values are internal and should never be exposed to user-space
(except when translated appropriately as in the 'pending' status in
/proc/mdstat).
Unfortunately they are as ->curr_resync is assigned to
->curr_resync_completed and that value is directly visible through
sysfs.
So change the assignments to ->curr_resync_completed to get the same
valued from elsewhere in a form that doesn't have the magic '1' or '2'
values.

Setting ->recovery to 0 is generally not a good idea as it could clear

should only be cleared on explicit request from user-space.
So when we need to clear things, just clear the bits that need
clearing.

When an md device is in the process of coming on line it is possible
for an IO request (typically a partition table probe) to get through
before the array is fully initialised, which can cause unexpected
behaviour (e.g. a crash).
So explicitly record when the array is ready for IO and don't allow IO
through until then.
There is no possibility for a similar problem when the array is going
off-line as there must only be one 'open' at that time, and it is busy
off-lining the array and so cannot send IO requests. So no memory
barrier is needed in md_stop()
This has been a bug since commit 409c57f380 in 2.6.30 which
introduced md_make_request. Before then, each personality would
register its own make_request_fn when it was ready.
This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.30.y onwards.

commit 589a594be1 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem were md_thread would
sometimes call the ->run function at a bad time.
If an error is detected during array start up after the md_thread has
been started, the md_thread is killed. This resulted in the ->run
function being called once. However the array may not be in a state
that it is safe to call ->run.
However the fix imposed meant that ->run was not called on a timeout.
This means that when an array goes idle, bitmap bits do not get
cleared promptly. While the array is busy the bits will still be
cleared when appropriate so this is not very serious. There is no
risk to data.
Change the test so that we only avoid calling ->run when the thread
is being stopped. This more explicitly addresses the problem situation.

589a594be1 was applied.

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.
There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.
The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

When we fail to start a raid10 for some reason, we call
md_unregister_thread to kill the thread that was created.
Unfortunately md_thread() will then make one call into the handler
(raid10d) even though md_wakeup_thread has not been called. This is
not safe and as md_unregister_thread is called after mddev->private
has been set to NULL, it will definitely cause a NULL dereference.
So fix this at both ends:
- md_thread should only call the handler if THREAD_WAKEUP has been
set.
- raid10 should call md_unregister_thread before setting things
to NULL just like all the other raid modules do.
This is applicable to 2.6.35 and later.

With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.

As recorded in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24012
it is possible for a flush request through md to hang. This is due to
an interaction between the recursion avoidance in
generic_make_request, the insistence in md of only having one flush
active at a time, and the possibility of dm (or md) submitting two
flush requests to a device from the one generic_make_request.
If a generic_make_request call into dm causes two flush requests to be
queued (as happens if the dm table has two targets - they get one
each), these two will be queued inside generic_make_request.
Assume they are for the same md device.
The first is processed and causes 1 or more flush requests to be sent
to lower devices. These get queued within generic_make_request too.
Then the second flush to the md device gets handled and it blocks
waiting for the first flush to complete. But it won't complete until
the two lower-device requests complete, and they haven't even been
submitted yet as they are on the generic_make_request queue.
The deadlock can be broken by using a separate thread to submit the
requests to lower devices. md has such a thread readily available:
md_wq.
So use it to submit these requests.

Before 2.6.37, the md layer had a mechanism for catching I/Os with the
barrier flag set, and translating the barrier into barriers for all
the underlying devices. With 2.6.37, I/O barriers have become plain
old flushes, and the md code was updated to reflect this. However,
one piece was left out -- the md layer does not tell the block layer
that it supports flushes or FUA access at all, which results in md
silently dropping flush requests.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly
complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra
references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder
support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities.
Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it
use a separate interface. This is a step for cleaning up
bd_claim/release. This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but
it will be simplified again with further changes.

Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.

bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
the pool can cause deadlocks.
So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
than the common pool.
This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.

Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'.
Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'.
We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io,
So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it.

Workqueue usage in md has two problems.
* Flush can be used during or depended upon by memory reclaim, but md
uses the system workqueue for flush_work which may lead to deadlock.
* md depends on flush_scheduled_work() to achieve exclusion against
completion of removal of previous instances. flush_scheduled_work()
may incur unexpected amount of delay and is scheduled to be removed.
This patch adds two workqueues to md - md_wq and md_misc_wq. The
former is guaranteed to make forward progress under memory pressure
and serves flush_work. The latter serves as the flush domain for
other works.

lock_kernel calls were recently pushed down into open/release
functions.
md doesn't need that protection.
Then the BKL calls were change to md_mutex. We don't need those
either.
So remove it all.

A RAID1 which has no persistent metadata, whether internal or
external, will hang on the first write.
This is caused by commit 070dc6dd71
In that case, MD_CHANGE_PENDING never gets cleared.
So during md_update_sb, is neither persistent or external,
clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING.
This is suitable for 2.6.36-stable.
