The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call ->quiesce(.., 1); ->quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.
This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.
We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

There are complaints that raid0 discard handling is slow. Currently we
divide discard request into chunks and dispatch to underlayer disks. The
block layer will do merge to form big requests. This causes a lot of
request split/merge and uses significant CPU time.
A simple idea is to calculate the range for each raid disk for an IO
request and send a discard request to raid disks, which will avoid the
split/merge completely. Previously Coly tried the approach, but the
implementation was too complex because of raid0 zones. This patch always
split bio in zone boundary and handle bio within one zone. It simplifies
the implementation a lot.

The block tracing infrastructure (accessed with blktrace/blkparse)
supports the tracing of mapping bios from one device to another.
This is currently used when a bio in a partition is mapped to the
whole device, when bios are mapped by dm, and for mapping in md/raid5.
Other md personalities do not include this tracing yet, so add it.
When a read-error is detected we redirect the request to a different device.
This could justifiably be seen as a new mapping for the originial bio,
or a secondary mapping for the bio that errors. This patch uses
the second option.
When md is used under dm-raid, the mappings are not traced as we do
not have access to the block device number of the parent.

When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of ->run, but it is actually part of ->takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:
blk_set_stacking_limits(&mddev->queue->limits);
and so it ineffective. This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.
So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().
As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0. So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()

When we start sharing biovecs, keeping bi_vcnt accurate for splits is
going to be error prone - and unnecessary, if we refactor some code.
So bio_segments() has to go - but most of the existing users just needed
to know if the bio had multiple segments, which is easier - add a
bio_multiple_segments() for them.
(Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a

biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away

RAID5 uses a 'per-array' value for the 'size' of each device.
RAID0 uses a 'per-device' value - it can be different for each device.
When converting a RAID5 to a RAID0 we must ensure that the per-device
size of each device matches the per-array size for the RAID5, else
the array will change size.
If the metadata cannot record a changed per-device size (as is the
case with v0.90 metadata) the array could get bigger on restart. This
does not cause data corruption, so it not a big issue and is mainly
yet another a reason to not use 0.90.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:
disable setting of the available size on each device for
RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so
can change the effective layout of data.
Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes
cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
safe.
Without this change:
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
then read to the end of the array
can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.
These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.
