raid10 currently repurposes bi_phys_segments on each incoming bio to count how many r10bio was used to encode the request. We need to know when the number of attached r10bio reaches zero to: 1/ call bio_endio() when all IO on the bio is finished 2/ decrement ->nr_pending so that resync IO can proceed. Now that the bio has its own __bi_remaining counter, that can be used instead. We can call bio_inc_remaining to increment the counter and call bio_endio() every time an r10bio completes, rather than only when bi_phys_segments reaches zero. This addresses point 1, but not point 2. bio_endio() doesn't (and cannot) report when the last r10bio has finished, so a different approach is needed. So: instead of counting bios in ->nr_pending, count r10bios. i.e. every time we attach a bio, increment nr_pending. Every time an r10bio completes, decrement nr_pending. Normally we only increment nr_pending after first checking that ->barrier is zero, or some other non-trivial tests and possible waiting. When attaching multiple r10bios to a bio, we only need the tests and the waiting once. After the first increment, subsequent increments can happen unconditionally as they are really all part of the one request. So introduce inc_pending() which can be used when we know that nr_pending is already elevated. Note that this fixes a bug. freeze_array() contains the line atomic_read(&conf->nr_pending) == conf->nr_queued+extra, which implies that the units for ->nr_pending, ->nr_queued and extra are the same. ->nr_queue and extra count r10_bios, but prior to this patch, ->nr_pending counted bios. If a bio ever resulted in multiple r10_bios (due to bad blocks), freeze_array() would not work correctly. Now it does.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
