784052ecc6 md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize.
Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
underway.

This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.

Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
started by setting reshape_position.  In contrast, the new_chunk value
is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
reshape starts.

86b42c713b md/raid5: clearly differentiate 'before' and 'after' stripes during reshape.
During a raid5 reshape, we have some stripes in the cache that are
'before' the reshape (and are still to be processed) and some that are
'after'.  They are currently differentiated by having different
->disks values as the only reshape current supported involves changing
the number of disks.

However we will soon support reshapes that do not change the number
of disks (chunk parity or chunk size).  So make the difference more
explicit with a 'generation' number.

ec32a2bd35 md: allow number of drives in raid5 to be reduced
When reshaping a raid5 to have fewer devices, we work from the end of
the array to the beginning.
md_do_sync gives addresses to sync_request that go from the beginning
to the end.  So largely ignore them use the internal state variable
"reshape_progress" to keep track of what to do next.

Never allow the size to be reduced below the minimum (4 for raid6,
3 otherwise).

We require that the size of the array has already been reduced before
the array is reshaped to a smaller size.  This is because simply
reducing the size is an easily reversible operation, while the reshape
is immediately destructive and so is not reversible for the blocks at
the ends of the devices.
Thus to reshape an array to have fewer devices, you must first write
an appropriately small size to md/array_size.

When reshape finished, we remove any drives that are no longer
needed and fix up ->degraded.

fef9c61fdf md/raid5: change reshape-progress measurement to cope with reshaping backwards.
When reducing the number of devices in a raid4/5/6, the reshape
process has to start at the end of the array and work down to the
beginning.  So we need to handle expand_progress and expand_lo
differently.

This patch renames "expand_progress" and "expand_lo" to avoid the
implication that anything is getting bigger (expand->reshape) and
every place they are used, we make sure that they are used the right
way depending on whether delta_disks is positive or negative.

cea9c22800 md: add explicit method to signal the end of a reshape.
Currently raid5 (the only module that supports restriping)
notices that the reshape has finished be sync_request being
given a large value, and handles any cleanup them.

This patch changes it so md_check_recovery calls into an
explicit finish_reshape method as well.

The clean-up from sync_request can do things that need to be
done promptly, typically things local to the raid5_conf_t
structure.

The "finish_reshape" method is called under the mddev_lock
so it can do things involving reconfiguring the device.

This allows us to get rid of md_set_array_sectors_locked, which
would have caused a deadlock if you tried to stop and array
while a reshape was happening.

7ec0547838 md/raid5: enhance raid5_size to work correctly with negative delta_disks
This is the first of four patches which combine to allow md/raid5 to
reduce the number of devices in the array by restriping the data over
a subset of the devices.

If the number of disks in a raid4/5/6 is being reduced, then the
default size must be based on the new number, not the old number
of devices.
In general, it should be based on the smaller of new and old.

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

b522adcde9 md: 'array_size' sysfs attribute
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:

1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0)
   a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
      if size is greater than the default size
   b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
      array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
   kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality

Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

409c57f380 md: enable suspend/resume of md devices.
To be able to change the 'level' of an md/raid array, we need to
suspend the device so that no requests are active - then move some
pointers around etc.

The code already keeps counts of active requests and the ->quiesce
function can be used to wait until those counts hit zero.
However the quiesce function blocks new requests once they are all
ready 'inside' the personality module, and that is too late if we want
to replace the personality modules.

So make all md requests come in through a common md_make_request
function that keeps track of how many requests have entered the
modules but may not yet be on the internal reference counts.
Allow md_make_request to be blocked when we want to suspend the
device, and make it possible to wait for all those in-transit requests
to be added to internal lists so that ->quiesce can wait for them.

There is still a problem that when a request completes, we drop the
ref count inside the personality code so there is a short time between
when the refcount hits zero, and when the personality code is no
longer being used.
The personality code never blocks (schedule or spinlock) between
dropping the refcount and exiting the routine, so this should be safe
(as put_module calls synchronize_sched() before unmapping the module
code).

This is not a substantial simplification and even adds a division.

575a80fa4f md: be more consistent about setting WriteMostly flag when adding a drive to an array
When a drive is added to an array using ADD_NEW_DISK, there are two
places we can get certain flags from:  the metadata on the disk or the
flags passed through the IOCTL.

For the WriteMostly flag (aka MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY) we take the value
from either of those sources depending on if it is set (i.e. we
effectively 'or' the two sources together).

This makes it awkward to clear, and is at best inconsistent.

As documented code (in mdadm) requires that setting
MD_DISK_WRITEMOSTLY in the ioctl will be effective, we resolve the
inconsistency by always using the value for this flag from the ioctl,
and ignoring the value on disk.

97e4f42d62 md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after a crash
Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
partially completed drive recovery.
However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
unclean shutdown.

One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
have completed.  And we need to know what has completed to record
how much is recovered.  So occasionally pause the recovery until all
submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
we are up to.

When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
the bitmap up-to-date.  So enhance that code to record the recovery
offset and schedule a superblock update.
And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
do a checkpoint.
'16' is a fairly arbitrary number.  But we don't really have any good
way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
number for now.

d0a4bb4927 md: never clear bit from the write-intent bitmap when the array is degraded.
It is safe to clear a bit from the write-intent bitmap for a raid1
if we know the data has been written to all devices, which is
what the current test does.

But it is not always safe to update the 'events_cleared' counter in
that case.  This is because one request could complete successfully
after some other request has partially failed.

So simply disable the clearing and updating of events_cleared whenever
the array is degraded.  This might end up not clearing some bits that
could safely be cleared, but it is safest approach.

Note that the bug fixed here did not risk corrupting data by letting
the array get out-of-sync.  Rather it meant that when a device is
removed and re-added to the array, it might incorrectly require a full
recovery rather than just recovering based on the bitmap.

1187cf0a3c md: Allow write-intent bitmaps to have chunksize < PAGE_SIZE
md currently insists that the chunk size used for write-intent
bitmaps (the amount of data that corresponds to one chunk)
be at least one page.

The reason for this restriction is lost in the mists of time,
but a review of the code (and a vague memory) suggests that the only
problem would be related to resync.  Resync tries very hard to
work in multiples of a page, but also needs to sync with units
of a bitmap_chunk too.

This connection comes out in the bitmap_start_sync call.

So change bitmap_start_sync to always work in multiples of a page.
If the bitmap chunk size is less that one page, we flag multiple
chunks as 'syncing' and generally make them all appear to the
resync routines like one chunk.

All other code either already works with data ranges that could
span multiple chunks, or explicitly only cares about a single chunk.

eea1bf384e md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).
There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.

1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
   rest are 'long'.
   So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
   curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
   long time to return to positive.

   So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
   for what we need.

2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
   the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
   suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
   So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

2d5516cbb9 copy_process: fix CLONE_PARENT && parent_exec_id interaction
CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
task exits.

Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
two different cases together.

129f8ae9b1 Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."
This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.
