DDF uses different layouts for P and Q blocks than current md/raid6
so add those that are missing.
Also add support for RAID6 layouts that are identical to various
raid5 layouts with the simple addition of one device to hold all of
the 'Q' blocks.
Finally add 'raid5' layouts to match raid4.
These last to will allow online level conversion.
Note that this does not provide correct support for DDF/raid6 yet
as the order in which data blocks are summed to produce the Q block
is significant and different between current md code and DDF

Rather than passing 'pd_idx' and 'disks' to these functions, just pass

disks and pd_idx and anything else it might need.
This is not a substantial simplification and even adds a division.
However we will shortly be adding more complexity to init_stripe

This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors"
and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of

All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted
accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get
rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two.
In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues

Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.
This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or
changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.
For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe. For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.
Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.
md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

The intended global interpretation is that raid5_run_ops can build a chain
of xor and memcpy operations. When MD registers the compute-xor it tells
async_tx to keep the operation handle around so that another item in the
dependency chain can be submitted. If we are just computing a block to
satisfy a read then we can terminate the chain immediately. raid5_run_ops
gives a better context for this test since it cares about the entire chain.

The STRIPE_OP_* flags record the state of stripe operations which are
performed outside the stripe lock. Their use in indicating which
operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what
the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of
these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs. An easier to read
implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed.
Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was
previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags. For now this only converts
the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the
ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations.
This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code. There is
a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when
the parity calculation for that repair completes. When this happens we will
writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'.

If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.
Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used. In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.
This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.
So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.
If you might have an array like that, issueing

During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between
when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it
completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe. When
this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked
"insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe. Prior to
2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under
sh->lock. The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still
erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off
and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync".
Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a
prexor was performed. The effect of the change is to sometimes not set
STRIPE_INSYNC. The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting
for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set. If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING
would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all
available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never
be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change

Last night we had scsi problems and a hardware raid unit was offlined
during heavy i/o. While this happened we got for about 3 minutes a huge
number messages like these
Apr 12 03:36:07 pfs1n14 kernel: [197510.696595] raid5:md7: read error not correctable (sector 2993096568 on sdj2).
I guess the high error rate is responsible for not scheduling other events
- during this time the system was not pingable and in the end also other
devices run into scsi command timeouts causing problems on these unrelated
devices as well.

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.
For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated.
With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.
Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.
