Paul Clements a638b2dc95 [PATCH] md: use ffz instead of find_first_set to convert multiplier to shift
find_first_set doesn't find the least-significant bit on bigendian machines,
so it is really wrong to use it.

ffs is closer, but takes an 'int' and we have a 'unsigned long'.  So use
ffz(~X) to convert a chunksize into a chunkshift.

NeilBrown e8703fe1f5 [PATCH] md: remove MAX_MD_DEVS which is an arbitrary limit
Once upon a time we needed to fixed limit to the number of md devices,
probably because we preallocated some array.  This need no longer exists, but
we still have an arbitrary limit.

So remove MAX_MD_DEVS and allow as many devices as we can fit into the 'minor'
part of a device number.

Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and
remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

NeilBrown 61df9d91e9 [PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specific
It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array
is read and consistancies are reported.

This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs
that a resync is being started.  This understandably confuses/worries people.

Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a
check.

This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

NeilBrown 0d12922823 [PATCH] md: define ->congested_fn for raid1, raid10, and multipath
raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through
bdi_*_congested, but should.

This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested'
status of all active members (with appropriate locking).

raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where
bdi_read_congested returns false.  Then we could use the '&' branch rather
than the '|' branch.  However that should would need some benchmarking first
to make sure it is actually a good idea.

NeilBrown c04be0aa82 [PATCH] md: Improve locking around error handling
The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent
errors could trigger a problem.

So:
  - use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise
    the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count
  - use the spinlock to protect updates to the
    degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that
    would be a bigger change in code, and isn't
    really justified)
  - remove un-necessary locking in raid5

Paul Clements 9b1d1dac18 [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:

echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap

(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)

echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap

(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)

This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array).  By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

Instead of magic numbers (0,1,2,3) in sb_dirty, we have
some flags instead:
MD_CHANGE_DEVS
   Some device state has changed requiring superblock update
   on all devices.
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN
   The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back,
   requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly
   not on spares
MD_CHANGE_PENDING
   A superblock update is underway.

We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear.  A
flag can be set at any time, even during an update, without risk that the
change will be lost.

Stop exporting md_update_sb - isn't needed.

Stefan Bader 9faf400f7e [PATCH] dm: use private biosets
I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem situations.  It
was found using a mirror target but I think in theory it would hit any setup
that stacks device-mapper devices (like LVM on top of multipath).

Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset in clone_bio(), and a
private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec() it is possible that the
filesystem and the first level target successfully get bios but the lower
level target doesn't because there is no more memory and the pool was drained
by upper layers.  So the remapping will be stuck forever.  To solve this
device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set for each device.

  md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch

Milan Broz e90dae1f58 [PATCH] dm: support ioctls on mapped devices: fix with fake file
The new ioctl code passes the wrong file pointer to the underlying device.
No file pointer is available so make a temporary fake one.

ioctl_by_bdev() does set_fs(KERNEL_DS) so it's for ioctls originating
within the kernel and unsuitable here.  We are processing ioctls that
originated in userspace and mapping them to different devices.  Fixing the
existing callers that pass a NULL file struct and consolidating the
fake_file users are separate matters to solve in later patches.

Alasdair G Kergon 7006f6eca8 [PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctl
Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.

If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

Milan Broz 9af4aa30b7 [PATCH] dm mpath: support ioctls
When an ioctl is performed on a multipath device simply pass it on to the
underlying block device through current_path.  If current path is not yet
selected, select it.

Milan Broz ab17ffa440 [PATCH] dm linear: support ioctls
When an ioctl is performed on a device with a linear target, simply pass it on
to the underlying block device.

Note that the ioctl will pass through the filtering in blkdev_ioctl() twice.

Milan Broz aa129a2247 [PATCH] dm: support ioctls on mapped devices
Extend the core device-mapper infrastructure to accept arbitrary ioctls on a
mapped device provided that it has exactly one target and it is capable of
supporting ioctls.

[We can't use unlocked_ioctl because we need 'inode': 'file' might be NULL.
Is it worth changing this?]

David Howells 9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
