b63d7c2e29 md/bitmap: clean up plugging calls.
1/ use md_unplug in bitmap.c as we will soon be using bitmaps under
  arrays with no queue attached.

2/ Don't bother plugging the queue when we set a bit in the bitmap.
   The reason for this was to encourage as many bits as possible to
   get set before we unplug and write stuff out.
   However every personality already plugs the queue after
   bitmap_startwrite either directly (raid1/raid10) or be setting
   STRIPE_BIT_DELAY which causes the queue to be plugged later
   (raid5).

2ac8740151 md/raid5: add simple plugging infrastructure.
md/raid5 uses the plugging infrastructure provided by the block layer
and 'struct request_queue'.  However when we plug raid5 under dm there
is no request queue so we cannot use that.

So create a similar infrastructure that is much lighter weight and use

4a5add4995 raid5: Don't set read-ahead when there is no queue
dm-raid456 does not provide a 'queue' for raid5 to use,
so we must make raid5 stop depending on the queue.

First: read_ahead
dm handles read-ahead adjustment fully in userspace, so
simply don't do any readahead adjustments if there is
no queue.

Also re-arrange code slightly so all the accesses to ->queue are
together.

Finally, move the blk_queue_merge_bvec function into the 'if' as
the ->split_io setting in dm-raid456 has the same effect.

When MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is set we might block in md_write_start.
So we should only set it when fairly sure that something will clear
it.

There are two places where it is set so as to encourage a metadata
update to record the progress of resync/recovery.  This should only
be done if the internal metadata update mechanisms are in use, which
can be tested by by inspecting '->persistent'.

We will shortly allow md devices with no gendisk (they are attached to

3424bf6a77 md/raid5: don't include 'spare' drives when reshaping to fewer devices.
There are few situations where it would make any sense to add a spare
when reducing the number of devices in an array, but it is
conceivable:  A 6 drive RAID6 with two missing devices could be
reshaped to a 5 drive RAID6, and a spare could become available
just in time for the reshape, but not early enough to have been
recovered first.  'freezing' recovery can make this easy to
do without any races.

However doing such a thing is a bad idea.  md will not record the
partially-recovered state of the 'spare' and when the reshape
finished it will think that the spare is still spare.
Easiest way to avoid this confusion is to simply disallow it.

2f11588249 md/raid5: add a missing 'continue' in a loop.
As the comment says, the tail of this loop only applies to devices
that are not fully in sync, so if In_sync was set, we should avoid
the rest of the loop.

This bug will hardly ever cause an actual problem.  The worst it
can do is allow an array to be assembled that is dirty and degraded,
which is not generally a good idea (without warning the sysadmin
first).

This will only happen if the array is RAID4 or a RAID5/6 in an
intermediate state during a reshape and so has one drive that is
all 'parity' - no data - while some other device has failed.

This is certainly possible, but not at all common.

415e72d034 md/raid5: Allow recovered part of partially recovered devices to be in-sync
During a recovery of reshape the early part of some devices might be
in-sync while the later parts are not.
We we know we are looking at an early part it is good to treat that
part as in-sync for stripe calculations.

This is particularly important for a reshape which suffers device
failure.  Treating the data as in-sync can mean the difference between
data-safety and data-loss.

674806d62f md/raid5: More careful check for "has array failed".
When we are reshaping an array, the device failure combinations
that cause us to decide that the array as failed are more subtle.

In particular, any 'spare' will be fully in-sync in the section
of the array that has already been reshaped, thus failures that
affect only that section are less critical.

So encode this subtlety in a new function and call it as appropriate.

The case that showed this problem was a 4 drive RAID5 to 8 drive RAID6
conversion where the last two devices failed.
This resulted in:

  good good good good incomplete good good failed failed

while converting a 5-drive RAID6 to 8 drive RAID5
The incomplete device causes the whole array to look bad,
bad as it was actually good for the section that had been
converted to 8-drives, all the data was actually safe.

70fffd0bfa md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices.
When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds
from the end of the devices to the beginning.

If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare)
we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape
progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records
that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would
only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset
number would be measured from the wrong end of the device.

Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be
recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active
to incorporate it in the array.

This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario:

A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined
operation.
The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a
spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that
spare as it progresses.  The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole
time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from
it, but must not because there is no valid data.

If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return
to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update
the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to
include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed
reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

e4e11e385d md/raid5: avoid oops when number of devices is reduced then increased.
The entries in the stripe_cache maintained by raid5 are enlarged
when we increased the number of devices in the array, but not
shrunk when we reduce the number of devices.
So if entries are added after reducing the number of devices, we
much ensure to initialise the whole entry, not just the part that
is currently relevant.  Otherwise if we enlarge the array again,
we will reference uninitialised values.

As grow_buffers/shrink_buffer now want to use a count that is stored
explicity in the raid_conf, they should get it from there rather than
being passed it as a parameter.

e93f68a1fc md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.
Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).

This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over.  However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.

Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.

So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

f3b99be19d Restore partition detection of newly created md arrays.
Commit  b821eaa572 broke partition
detection for md arrays.

The logic was almost right.  However if revalidate_disk is called
when the device is not yet open, bdev->bd_disk won't be set, so the
flush_disk() Call will not set bd_invalidated.

So when md_open is called we still need to ensure that
->bd_invalidated gets set.  This is easily done with a call to
check_disk_size_change in the place where the offending commit removed
check_disk_change.  At the important times, the size will have changed
from 0 to non-zero, so check_disk_size_change will set bd_invalidated.

3ff195b011 sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.
The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.

I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.

For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.

To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.

Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid

- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
  so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.

Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.

For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.

Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.

The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.

Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

a8707c08f4 md: simplify updating of event count to sometimes avoid updating spares.
When updating the event count for a simple clean <-> dirty transition,
we try to avoid updating the spares so they can safely spin-down.
As the event_counts across an array must be +/- 1, this means
decrementing the event_count on a dirty->clean transition.
This is not always safe and we have to avoid the unsafe time.
We current do this with a misguided idea about it being safe or
not depending on whether the event_count is odd or even.  This
approach only works reliably in a few common instances, but easily
falls down.

So instead, simply keep internal state concerning whether it is safe
or not, and always assume it is not safe when an array is first
assembled.

75a73a29e5 md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down.
Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down.  Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.

However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:

   This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
    'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,

how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.

So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately.  There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update).  We just piggy-back on that.

0c55e02259 md/raid5: improve consistency of error messages.
Many 'printk' messages from the raid456 module mention 'raid5' even
though it may be a 'raid6' or even 'raid4' array.  This can cause
confusion.
Also the actual array name is not always reported and when it is
it is not reported consistently.

So change all the messages to start:
    md/raid:%s:
where '%s' becomes e.g. md3 to identify the particular array.

e555190d82 md/raid1: delay reads that could overtake behind-writes.
When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.

So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.

d754c5ae1f md/raid1: fix confusing 'redirect sector' message.
This message seems to suggest the named device is the one on which a
read failed, however it is actually the device that the read will be
redirected to.
So make the message a little clearer.

9e35b99c7e md: don't unregister the thread in mddev_suspend
This is
 - unnecessary because mddev_suspend is always followed by a call to
   ->stop, and each ->stop unregisters the thread, and
 - a problem as it makes it awkwards to suspend and then resume a
   device as we will want later.
