Waiting for a 'blocked' rdev to become unblocked in the raid5d thread
cannot work with internal metadata as it is the raid5d thread which
will clear the blocked flag.
This wasn't a problem in 3.0 and earlier as we only set the blocked
flag when external metadata was used then.
However we now set it always, so we need to be more careful.

When the 'blocked' flag on a device is cleared while there are
unacknowledged bad blocks we must fail the device. This is needed for
backwards compatability of the interface.
The code currently uses the wrong test for "unacknowledged bad blocks
exist". Change it to the right test.

Queue idling is used for the anticipation of immediate
sequencial I/O's but md_super_write() is a kind of one-
shot operation, coupled with md_super_wait(), so the
idling in this case will be just a waste of time.
Specifying REQ_NOIDLE prevents it. Instead of adding
the flag to submit_bio() directly, use pre-defined
macro WRITE_FLUSH_FUA.

Sometimes a device will refuse to be set faulty. e.g. RAID1 will
never let the last working device become faulty.
So check if "md_error()" did manage to set the faulty flag and fail
with EBUSY if it didn't.

DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities
regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices
also advertised a need for them.
Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly
for DM devices. Performance regressions have been reported even when
DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache.
Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing
capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.
The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible
without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device
because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway.
This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written.
In this case:
1. allocate the exception
2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper)
3. write the exception record
4. report bio completed
Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not
race with each other. So we create two new functions:
dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback.
(This function must not be called from interrupt context.)
dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback.
(This function may be called from interrupt context.)
Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size):
without the patch:
non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 17.7MB/s
direct-io sequential write (dd): 20.9MB/s
non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.44s
with the patch:
non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 26.5MB/s
direct-io sequential write (dd): 33.2MB/s

Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.
Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.
The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.
If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function
(such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

Remove 'discards_supported' from the dm_table structure. The same
information can be easily discovered from the table's target(s) in
dm_table_supports_discards().
Before this fix dm_table_supports_discards() would skip checking the
individual targets' 'discards_supported' flag if any one target in the
table didn't set num_discard_requests > 0. Now the per-target
'discards_supported' flag is effective at insuring the final DM device
advertises discard support. But, to be clear, targets that don't
support discards (!num_discard_requests) will not receive discard
requests.

For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer.
However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O
to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly.
Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call
flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address.
After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to
invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual
address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache.
This patch fixes metadata corruption on dm-snapshots on PA-RISC and
possibly other architectures with caches indexed by virtual address.

Currently when we get a read error during recovery, we simply abort
the recovery.
Instead, repeat the read in page-sized blocks.
On successful reads, write to the target.
On read errors, record a bad block on the destination,
and only if that fails do we abort the recovery.
As we now retry reads we need to know where we read from. This was in
bi_sector but that can be changed during a read attempt.
So store the correct from_addr and to_addr in the r10_bio for later
access.

If a read error is detected during recovery the code currently
fails the read device.
This isn't really necessary. recovery_request_write will signal
a write error to end_sync_write and it will record a write

there or kick it from the array.
So just remove this call to do md_error.

We already attempt to fix read errors found during normal IO
and a 'repair' process.
It is best to try to repair them at any time they are found,
so move a test so that during sync and check a read error will
be corrected by over-writing with good data.
If both (all) devices have known bad blocks in the sync section we
won't try to fix even though the bad blocks might not overlap. That
should be considered later.
Also if we hit a read error during recovery we don't try to fix it.
It would only be possible to fix if there were at least three copies
of data, which is not very common with RAID10. But it should still
be considered later.

During resync/recovery limit the size of the request to avoid
reading into a bad block that does not start at-or-before the current
read address.
Similarly if there is a bad block at this address, don't allow the
current request to extend beyond the end of that bad block.
Now that we don't ever read from known bad blocks, it is safe to allow
devices with those blocks into the array.
