33e38ac688 md-cluster: fix bitmap sub-offset in bitmap_read_sb
bitmap_read_sb is modifying mddev->bitmap_info.offset. This works for
the first bitmap read. However, when multiple bitmaps need to be opened
by the same node, it ends up corrupting the offset. Fix it by using a
local variable.

Also, bitmap_read_sb is not required in bitmap_copy_from_slot since
it is called in bitmap_create. Remove bitmap_read_sb().

d3b178adb3 md: Skip cluster setup for dm-raid
There is a bug that the bitmap superblock isn't initialised properly for
dm-raid, so a new field can have garbage in new fields.
(dm-raid does initialisation in the kernel - md initialised the
 superblock in mdadm).

This means that for dm-raid we cannot currently trust the new ->nodes
field. So:
 - use __GFP_ZERO to initialise the superblock properly for all new
    arrays
 - initialise all fields in bitmap_info in bitmap_new_disk_sb
 - ignore ->nodes for dm arrays (yes, this is a hack)

This bug exposes dm-raid to bug in the (still experimental) md-cluster
code, so it is suitable for -stable.  It does cause crashes.

8532e34390 md/bitmap: remove rcu annotation from pointer arithmetic.
Evaluating  "&mddev->disks" is simple pointer arithmetic, so
it does not need 'rcu' annotations - no dereferencing is happening.

Also enhance the comment to explain that 'rdev' in that case
is not actually a pointer to an rdev.

97f6cd39da md-cluster: re-add capabilities
When "re-add" is writted to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state,
the clustered md:

1. Sends RE_ADD message with the desc_nr. Nodes receiving the message
   clear the Faulty bit in their respective rdev->flags.
2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes
   and copies them into the local bitmap. It does not clear the bitmap
   from which it is copying.
3. Initiating node schedules a md recovery to sync the devices.

11dd35daaa Copy set bits from another slot
bitmap_copy_from_slot reads the bitmap from the slot mentioned.
It then copies the set bits to the node local bitmap.

This is helper function for the resync operation on node failure.

bitmap_set_memory_bits() currently assumes it is only run at startup and that
they bitmap is currently empty.  So if it finds that a region is already
marked as dirty, it won't mark it dirty again. Change bitmap_set_memory_bits()
to always set the NEEDED_MASK bit if 'needed' is set.

b97e92574c Use separate bitmaps for each nodes in the cluster
On-disk format:

| bm bits [3, contd]  |                     |                     |

Bitmap super has a field nodes, which defines the maximum number
of nodes the device can use. While reading the bitmap super, if
the cluster finds out that the number of nodes is > 0:
1. Requests the md-cluster module.
2. Calls md_cluster_ops->join(), which sets up clustering such as
   joining DLM lockspace.

Since the first time, the first bitmap is read. After the call
to the cluster_setup, the bitmap offset is adjusted and the
superblock is re-read. This also ensures the bitmap is read
the bitmap lock (when bitmap lock is introduced in later patches)

Questions:
1. cluster name is repeated in all bitmap supers. Is that okay?

cf921cc19c Add node recovery callbacks
DLM offers callbacks when a node fails and the lock remastery
is performed:

1. recover_prep: called when DLM discovers a node is down
2. recover_slot: called when DLM identifies the node and recovery
		can start
3. recover_done: called when all nodes have completed recover_slot

recover_slot() and recover_done() are also called when the node joins
initially in order to inform the node with its slot number. These slot
numbers start from one, so we deduct one to make it start with zero
which the cluster-md code uses.

md_cluster_info stores the cluster information in the MD device.

The join() is called when mddev detects it is a clustered device.
The main responsibilities are:
	1. Setup a DLM lockspace
	2. Setup all initial locks such as super block locks and bitmap lock (will come later)

The leave() clears up the lockspace and all the locks held.

4b5060ddae md/bitmap: always wait for writes on unplug.
If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then
one might schedule all the writes, and the other might
decide that it doesn't need to wait.  But really it does.

It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary,
and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary'
anyway.  So just wait always.

This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens
at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was
updated.  It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable
just to be safe.  Appropriate for any -stable.

md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file.  But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.

So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.

Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write.  Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

324a56e16e kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly
kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
* s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
* s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
* s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
* s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
* s/parent_sd/parent/
* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them.  All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial.  While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

- mic / gpio renames were missing.  Spotted by kbuild test robot.

388975ccca sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()
The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
updated by following patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
    error on module builds.  Reported by build test robot.  Fixed.

ef99bf480d md/bitmap: allow a bitmap with no backing storage.
An md bitmap comprises two parts
 - internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'.
 - external storage of whether there are any active writes on
   each chunk

The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the
second.

Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite
resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery
of a recently-removed device.

So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device.
In that case we default to 128M chunks.

A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap
(possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not
lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device.

We don't actually activate these bitmaps yet - that will come

6409bb05a9 md/bitmap: add new 'space' attribute for bitmaps.
If we are to allow bitmaps to be resized when the array is resized,
we need to know how much space there is.

So create an attribute to store this information and set appropriate
defaults.

It can be set more precisely via sysfs, or future metadata extensions
may allow it to be recorded.

bf07bb7d5b md/bitmap: disentangle two different 'pending' flags.
There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the
write intent bitmap.

Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits)
may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course.
There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from
PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever
becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be
cleared.

Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one
for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if
any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by
bitmap_daemon_work().  If this flag is clear we can skip the whole
page.

These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag.
This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap
file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the
bitmap file.

So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite
bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending'
concepts separately.

This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out
a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we
write a page.

b16b1b6cd0 md/bitmap: fix calculation of 'chunks' - missing shift.
commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro"
replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was
replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong.

The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1,
which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how).

So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO
which is no longe used.
