In super_1_sync (the first hunk) we need to clear 'changed' before
checking read_seqretry(), otherwise we might race with other code
adding a bad block and so won't retry later.
In md_update_sb (the second hunk), in the case where there is no
metadata (neither persistent nor external), we treat any bad blocks as
an error. However we need to clear the 'changed' flag before calling
md_ack_all_badblocks, else it won't do anything.
This patch is suitable for -stable release 3.0 and later.

'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.

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 create a raid1 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 is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

These personalities currently set a max request size of one page
when any member device has a merge_bvec_fn because they don't
bother to call that function.
This causes extra works in splitting and combining requests.
So make the extra effort to call the merge_bvec_fn when it exists
so that we end up with larger requests out the bottom.

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.

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.

When commit 69e51b449d383e (md/bitmap: separate out loading a bitmap...)
created bitmap_load, it missed calling it after bitmap_create when a
bitmap is created through the sysfs interface.
So if a bitmap is added this way, we don't allocate memory properly
and can crash.
This is suitable for any -stable release since 2.6.35.

It seems that with recent kernel, writeback can still be happening
while shutdown is happening, and consequently data can be written
after the md reboot notifier switches all arrays to read-only.
This causes a BUG.
So don't switch them to read-only - just mark them clean and
set 'safemode' to '2' which mean that immediately after any
write the array will be switch back to 'clean'.
This could result in the shutdown happening when array is marked
dirty, thus forcing a resync on reboot. However if you reboot
without performing a "sync" first, you get to keep both halves.
This is suitable for any stable kernel (though there might be some
conflicts with obvious fixes in earlier kernels).

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
only arrays types that check for a failed array).

added an smp_mb in end_sync_write.
This was to close a possible race with raid10_remove_disk.
However there is no such race as it is never attempted to remove a

The 'rebuild' parameter is used to rebuild individual devices in an
array (e.g. resynchronize a RAID1 device or recalculate a parity device
in higher RAID). The MD_CHANGE_DEVS flag must be set when this
parameter is given in order to write out the superblocks and make the
change take immediate effect. The code that handles new devices in
super_load already sets MD_CHANGE_DEVS and 'FirstUse'. (The 'FirstUse'
flag was being set as a special case for rebuilds in
super_init_validation.)
Add a condition for rebuilds in super_load to take care of both flags
without the special case in 'super_init_validation'.

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.

The life cycle of a device-mapper target is:
1) create
2) resume
3) suspend
*) possibly repeat from 2
4) destroy
The dm-raid target is unconditionally calling MD's bitmap_load function upon
every resume. If steps 2 & 3 above are repeated, bitmap_load is called
multiple times. It is only written to be called once; otherwise, it allocates
new memory for the bitmap (without freeing the old) and incrementing the number
of pages it thinks it has without zeroing first. This ultimately leads to
access beyond allocated memory and lost memory.
Simply avoiding the bitmap_load call upon resume is not sufficient. If the
target was suspended while the initial recovery was only partially complete,
it needs to be restarted when the target is resumed. This is why
'md_wakeup_thread' is called before issuing the 'mddev_resume'.

Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the

itself.
This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.
Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

We normally try to avoid reading from write-mostly devices, but when
we do we really have to check for bad blocks and be sure not to
try reading them.
With the current code, best_good_sectors might not get set and that
causes zero-length read requests to be send down which is very
confusing.
This bug was introduced in commit d2eb35acfdccbe2 and so the patch
is suitable for 3.1.x and 3.2.x

We currently only 'notify' changes to the 'degraded' attribute
when it decreases, not when it increases.
Notifying on failure is a little awkward as it happen in
interrupt context.
So instead, notify when we remove the failed device from the array,
which is very soon afterwards.
