When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes. We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute. We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.
So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.
rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions. We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain. So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the
function.

A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only. So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread. There is one place we didn't do this.
The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started. The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write). So the reshape will not proceed.
On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not
be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.
This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.
So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.
This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given. This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).
However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do. So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.
This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.
So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.
Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
left of user-space to handle.
Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.
- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
there are any superblocks or not.
- New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records
the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
attribute.
- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
- don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
- Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
- don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static
array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for
autostart.
I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are
discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would
come up whole, while all the others were short a disk.
I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds
(2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I
wanted 64 per drive...). The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive
raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity
and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere.
This patch replaces that static array with a list.

bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.
write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.
When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.
bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the
array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are.
This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it
sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't.
The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors
of resync io (disk->sync_io). This has problems because total sectors gets
updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the
request is submitted. The time difference can cause large differenced
between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity. The test
currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it
is not enough.
The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or
negative. This clearly is not needed. Any non-sync activity will cause
the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so
we only need to look for a positive differences.
If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the
appearance of non-sync IO. Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts
happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be
more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still
be suitably responsive.

An error always aborts any resync/recovery/reshape on the understanding that
it will immediately be restarted if that still makes sense. However a reshape
currently doesn't get restarted. With this patch it does.
To avoid restarting when it is not possible to do work, we call into the
personality to check that a reshape is ok, and strengthen raid5_check_reshape
to fail if there are too many failed devices.
We also break some code out into a separate function: remove_and_add_spares as
the indent level for that code was getting crazy.

md tries to warn the user if they e.g. create a raid1 using two partitions of
the same device, as this does not provide true redundancy.
However it also warns if a raid0 is created like this, and there is nothing
wrong with that.
At the place where the warning is currently printer, we don't necessarily know
what level the array will be, so move the warning from the point where the
device is added to the point where the array is started.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held,
it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.
This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a
write-out to the md device.
For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.
So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make
sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

Now that we sometimes step the array events count backwards (when
transitioning dirty->clean where nothing else interesting has happened - so
that we don't need to write to spares all the time), it is possible for the
event count to return to zero, which is potentially confusing and triggers and
MD_BUG.
We could possibly remove the MD_BUG, but is just as easy, and probably safer,
to make sure we never return to zero.

While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md...
- When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to
the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not
update the superblock information - as we may not have
read and processed it all properly yet.
- initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
started.
- all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
sysfs files
- when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.
- allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't

Fix few bugs that meant that:
- superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this
could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array
causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors).
- restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata
only) didn't work as intended (or at all).
1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added.
2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
is wrong.
3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
bitmaps) does get done.

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.
I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.
So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image. Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.
For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs

check.

Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:
echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap
(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)
echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap
(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)
This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

MD_CHANGE_CLEAN

requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly
not on spares
MD_CHANGE_PENDING
A superblock update is underway.
We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear. A

If we
- shut down a clean array,
- restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
- make some changes
- pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.
To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded. In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.
However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.
So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.
