664e7c413f md: Convert mddev->new_chunk to sectors.
A straight-forward conversion which gets rid of some
multiplications/divisions/shifts. The patch also introduces a couple
of new ones, most of which are due to conf->chunk_size still being
represented in bytes. This will be cleaned up in subsequent patches.

9d8f036362 md: Make mddev->chunk_size sector-based.
This patch renames the chunk_size field to chunk_sectors with the
implied change of semantics.  Since

	is_power_of_2(chunk_size) = is_power_of_2(chunk_sectors << 9)
				  = is_power_of_2(chunk_sectors)

these bits don't need an adjustment for the shift.

fbb704efb7 md: raid0 :Enables chunk size other than powers of 2.
Maintain two flows, one for pow2 chunk sizes (which uses masks and
shift), and a flow for the general case (which uses sector_div).
This is for the sake of performance.

 - introduce map_sector and is_io_in_chunk_boundary to encapsulate
   those two flows better for raid0_make_request
 - fix blk_mergeable to support the two flows.

b414579f45 md: raid0: remove ->dev pointer from strip_zone structure
If we treat conf->devlist more like a 2 dimensional array,
we can get the devlist for a particular zone simply by indexing
that array, so we don't need to store the pointers to subarrays
in strip_zone.  This makes strip_zone smaller and so (hopefully)
searches faster.

49f357a22b md: raid0: remove ->sectors from the strip_zone structure.
storing ->sectors is redundant as is can be computed from the
difference  z->zone_end - (z-1)->zone_end

The one place where it is used, it is just as efficient to use
a zone_end value instead.

And removing it makes strip_zone smaller, so they array of these that
is searched on every request has a better chance to say in cache.

So discard the field and get the value from elsewhere.

dc58266385 md: raid0: Replace hash table lookup by looping over all strip_zones.
The number of strip_zones of a raid0 array is bounded by the number of
drives in the array and is in fact much smaller for typical setups. For
example, any raid0 array containing identical disks will have only
a single strip_zone.

Therefore, the hash tables which are used for quickly finding the
strip_zone that holds a particular sector are of questionable value
and add quite a bit of unnecessary complexity.

This patch replaces the hash table lookup by equivalent code which
simply loops over all strip zones to find the zone that holds the
given sector.

In order to make this loop as fast as possible, the zone->start field
of struct strip_zone has been renamed to zone_end, and it now stores
the beginning of the next zone in sectors. This allows to save one
addition in the loop.

Subsequent cleanup patches will remove the hash table structure.

55782138e4 tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate
"reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old

However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize'
rather than 'reshape_sectors'.
This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze.

a8c906ca3f md/raid5 - avoid deadlocks in get_active_stripe during reshape
md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts.  This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.

Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.

It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested.  Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.

So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.

This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported.  So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former

ed37d83e6a md: raid5: change incorrect usage of 'min' macro to 'min_t'
A recent patch to raid5.c use min on an int and a sector_t.
This isn't allowed.
So change it to min_t(sector_t,x,y).

b492b852cd md: don't use locked_ioctl.
md has no need for the BKL - it does its own locking.
So md_ioctl doesn't need to be a locked_ioctl.

7a91ee1f62 md: don't update curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.
In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated
curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.

The reshape code updates both at the same time.  However since
commit 97e4f42d62
the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed
but is not in a position to update reshape_position.
So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is
happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update
curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality
reshape code.

848b318236 md: raid5: avoid sector values going negative when testing reshape progress.
As sector_t in unsigned, we cannot afford to let 'safepos' etc go
negative.
So replace
   a -= b;
by
   a -= min(b,a);

b6a9ce688f md: export 'frozen' resync state through sysfs
The md resync engine has a 'frozen' state which ensures that
no resync/recovery.  This is used to avoid races.

Export this state through the 'sync_action' sysfs attribute
so that user-space can benefit and also avoid some races.

be51269103 md: bitmap: improve bitmap maintenance code.
The code for checking which bits in the bitmap can be cleared
has 2 problems:
 1/ it repeatedly takes and drops a spinlock, where it would make
    more sense to just hold on to it most of the time.
 2/ it doesn't make use of some opportunities to skip large sections
    of the bitmap

This patch fixes those.  It will only affect CPU consumption, not
correctness.

when setting the array size, add the option of
  E2BIG
if the size requested is too large.  This makes it easier

We previously didn't update these fields when writing the metadata
because they could never change.  They can now, so we better write
them.
v0.90 metadata always updated these fields.

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

c4647292fd md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
   rd2 -> dev-sda

indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.

These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.

So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

5bf2959754 md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.

It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.

It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').

Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.

So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.

This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.
