3a9f28a511 md/raid1: improve handling of read failure during recovery.
If we cannot read a block from anywhere during recovery, there is
now a better approach than just giving up.
We can record a bad block on each device and keep going - being
careful not to clear the bad block when a write succeeds as it might -
it will be a write of incorrect data.

We have now reached the state where - for raid1 - we only call
md_error if md_set_badblocks has failed.

d8f05d2995 md/raid1: record badblocks found during resync etc.
If we find a bad block while writing as part of resync/recovery we
need to report that back to raid1d which must record the bad block,
or fail the device.

Similarly when fixing a read error, a further error should just
record a bad block if possible rather than failing the device.

de393cdea6 md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.

If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.

We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.

This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.

It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.

When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).

We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata.   This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed.  Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.

Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.

The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks.  So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

06f603851f md/raid1: avoid reading known bad blocks during resync
When performing resync/etc, keep the size of the request
small enough that it doesn't overlap any known bad blocks.
Devices with badblocks at the start of the request are completely

d2eb35acfd md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks.
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
  1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
     the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
     there.
  2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
  3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
     different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
     could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
     device, but can still be served by the array.
     This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
     per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
  4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
     and queue another request for the rest.

This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.

'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.

8cfa7b0f67 md/raid5: Avoid BUG caused by multiple failures.
While preparing to write a stripe we keep the parity block or blocks
locked (R5_LOCKED) - towards the end of schedule_reconstruction.

If the array is discovered to have failed before this write completes
we can leave those blocks LOCKED, and init_stripe will notice that a
free stripe still has a locked block and will complain.

So clear the R5_LOCKED flag in handle_failed_stripe, and demote the
'BUG' to a 'WARN_ON'.

5389042ffa md: change managed of recovery_disabled.
If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.

Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1.  For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.

So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.

This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.

For safety we take ->device_lock while examining the state of the
stripe and creating a summary in 'stripe_head_state / r6_state'.
This possibly isn't needed but as shared fields like ->toread,
->towrite are checked it is safer for now at least.

We leave the label after the old 'unlock' called "unlock" because it
will disappear in a few patches, so renaming seems pointless.

This leaves the stripe 'locked' for longer as we clear STRIPE_ACTIVE
later, but that is not a problem.

cbe47ec559 md/raid5: Protect some more code with ->device_lock.
Other places that change or follow dev->towrite and dev->written take
the device_lock as well as the sh->lock.
So it should really be held in these places too.
Also, doing so will allow sh->lock to be discarded.

83206d66b6 md/raid5: Remove use of sh->lock in sync_request
This is the start of a series of patches to remove sh->lock.

sync_request takes sh->lock before setting STRIPE_SYNCING to ensure
there is no race with testing it in handle_stripe[56].

Instead, use a new flag STRIPE_SYNC_REQUESTED and test it early
in handle_stripe[56] (after getting the same lock) and perform the
same set/clear operations if it was set.

ffd96e35c1 md/raid5: get rid of duplicated call to bio_data_dir()
In raid5::make_request(), once bio_data_dir(@bi) is detected
it never (and couldn't) be changed. Use the result always.

6ce328462c md/raid5: use kmem_cache_zalloc()
Replace kmem_cache_alloc + memset(,0,) to kmem_cache_zalloc.
I think it's not harmful since @conf->slab_cache already knows
actual size of struct stripe_head.
