63aced6102 md/raid10: Remove extras after reshape to smaller number of devices.
When a reshape which reduced the number of devices finishes
we must remove the extra devices.

So ensure  that raid10_remove_disk won't try to keep them, and
have raid10_finish_reshape clear the 'in_sync' flag.  Then
remove_and_add_spares will be able to remove them.

a4a6125a07 md: allow array to be resized while bitmap is present.
Now that bitmaps can be resized, we can allow an array to be resized
while the bitmap is present.

This only covers resizing that involves changing the effective size
of member devices, not resizing that changes the number of devices.

3ea7daa5d7 md/raid10: add reshape support
A 'near' or 'offset' lay RAID10 array can be reshaped to a different
'near' or 'offset' layout, a different chunk size, and a different
number of devices.
However the number of copies cannot change.

Unlike RAID5/6, we do not support having user-space backup data that
is being relocated during a 'critical section'.  Rather, the
data_offset of each device must change so that when writing any block
to a new location, it will not over-write any data that is still
'live'.

This means that RAID10 reshape is not supportable on v0.90 metadata.

The different between the old data_offset and the new_offset must be
at least the larger of the chunksize multiplied by offset copies of
each of the old and new layout. (for 'near' mode, offset_copies == 1).

A larger difference of around 64M seems useful for in-place reshapes
as more data can be moved between metadata updates.
Very large differences (e.g. 512M) seem to slow the process down due
to lots of long seeks (on oldish consumer graded devices at least).

Metadata needs to be updated whenever the place we are about to write
to is considered - by the current metadata - to still contain data in
the old layout.

f8c9e74ff0 md/raid10: Introduce 'prev' geometry to support reshape.
When RAID10 supports reshape it will need a 'previous' and a 'current'
geometry, so introduce that here.
Use the 'prev' geometry when before the reshape_position, and the
current 'geo' when beyond it.  At other times, use both as
appropriate.

For now, both are identical (And reshape_position is never set).

When we use the 'prev' geometry, we must use the old data_offset.
When we use the current (And a reshape is happening) we must use
the new_data_offset.

5cf00fcd3c md/raid10: collect some geometry fields into a dedicated structure.
We will shortly be adding reshape support for RAID10 which will
require it having 2 concurrent geometries (before and after).
To make that easier, collect most geometry fields into 'struct geom'
and access them from there.  Then we will more easily be able to add
a second set of fields.

Note that 'copies' is not in this struct and so cannot be changed.
There is little need to change this number and doing so is a lot
more difficult as it requires reallocating more things.
So leave it out for now.

c6563a8c38 md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices.
When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).

So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.

(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
 we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
 A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
 zero to avoid a repeat of this)

The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.

This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be.  At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.

When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors.  So provide an exported function to do that.

6508fdbf40 md/raid10: set dev_sectors properly when resizing devices in array.
raid10 stores dev_sectors in 'conf' separately from the one in
'mddev' because it can have a very significant effect on block
addressing and so need to be updated carefully.

However raid10_resize isn't updating it at all!

To update it correctly, we need to make sure it is a proper
multiple of the chunksize taking various details of the layout
in to account.
This calculation is currently done in setup_conf.   So split it
out from there and call it from raid10_resize as well.
Then set conf->dev_sectors properly.

5020ad7d14 md/raid1,raid10: don't compare excess byte during consistency check.
When comparing two pages read from different legs of a mirror, only
compare the bytes that were read, not the whole page.

In most cases we read a whole page, but in some cases with
bad blocks or odd sizes devices we might read fewer than that.

This bug has been present "forever" but at worst it might cause
a report of two many mismatches and generate a little bit
extra resync IO, so there is no need to back-port to -stable

006a09a0ae md/raid10 - support resizing some RAID10 arrays.
'resizing' an array in this context means making use of extra
space that has become available in component devices, not adding new
devices.
It also includes shrinking the array to take up less space of
component devices.

This is not supported for array with a 'far' layout.  However
for 'near' and 'offset' layout arrays, adding and removing space at
the end of the devices is easy to support, and this patch provides
that support.

050b66152f md/raid10: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.

So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.

This introduces a small problem.  There is no locking around calls
the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request.  So a
device added between these could end up getting a request which
violates its merge_bvec_fn.

Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched().  This will work
providing no preemption happens.  If there is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

dafb20fa34 md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.
md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev.  However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.

Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.

So:
 - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
 - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
   list_for_each_entry,
 - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
   list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

d6b42dcb99 md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.
If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current->bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

dc10c643e8 md: allow re-add to failed arrays.
When an array is failed (some data inaccessible) then there is no
point attempting to add a spare as it could not possibly be recovered.

However that may be value in re-adding a recently removed device.
e.g. if there is a write-intent-bitmap and it is clear, then access
to the data could be restored by this action.

So don't reject a re-add to a failed array for RAID10 and RAID5 (the

fae8cc5ed0 md/raid10: fix handling of error on last working device in array.
If we get a read error on the last working device in a RAID10 which
contains the target block, then we don't fail the device (which is
good) but we don't abort retries, which is wrong.
We end up in an infinite loop retrying the read on the one device.

This patch fixes the problem in two places:
1/ in raid10_end_read_request we don't even ask for a retry if this
   was the last usable device.  This is efficient but a little racy
   and will sometimes retry when it should not.

2/ in handle_read_error we are careful to exclude any device from
   retry which we tried to mark as faulty (that might have failed if
   it was the last device).  This is race-free but less efficient.

7fcc7c8acf md/raid10: Fix bug when activating a hot-spare.
This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10.

When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the
spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first
working device.
This is likely to make the array non-functional.   It would normally
be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not
guaranteed.

This bug was introduced in commit
   2bb77736ae

d890fa2b05 md: Fix some bugs in recovery_disabled handling.
In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead
of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf->
value.
Two problems:
  1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'.
  2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation
     time.
     It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they
     could appear equal and thus disable recovery.
     This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array
     which changes the mddev value.  However the dmraid interface
     doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at
     array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled.

So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so
the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

34db0cd60f md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread.  This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.

However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput.  The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).

So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests.  By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable.  Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.

Having mddev_t and 'struct mddev_s' is ugly and not preferred

3cb0300200 md: removing typedefs: mdk_rdev_t -> struct md_rdev
The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h'
which used to be an include file that defined this thing.

01f96c0a99 md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.
Two related problems:

1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
   without subsequently clearing ->thread.  A subsequent call
   to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.

2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
   disappeared either by:
      - holding the ->mutex
      - having an active request, so something else must be keeping
        the array active.
   However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
   mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
   ->thread could theoretically disappear.
   So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.

So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.

5a7bbad27a block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_request
There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

079fa166a2 md/raid1,10: Remove use-after-free bug in make_request.
A single request to RAID1 or RAID10 might result in multiple
requests if there are known bad blocks that need to be avoided.

To detect if we need to submit another write request we test:
 	if (sectors_handled < (bio->bi_size >> 9)) {

However this is after we call **_write_done() so the 'bio' no longer
belongs to us - the writes could have completed and the bio freed.

So move the **_write_done call until after the test against
bio->bi_size.

This addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41862

19d5f834d6 md/raid10: unify handling of write completion.
A write can complete at two different places:
1/ when the last member-device write completes, through
   raid10_end_write_request
2/ in make_request() when we remove the initial bias from ->remaining.

These two should do exactly the same thing and the comment says they
do, but they don't.

So factor the correct code out into a function and call it in both
places.  This makes the code much more similar to RAID1.

The difference is only significant if there is an error, and they
usually take a while, so it is unlikely that there will be an error
already when make_request is completing, so this is unlikely to cause
real problems.
