this strict pattern is broken.
So remove this expectation. We still assume that the data disks

Rather than passing 'pd_idx' and 'disks' to these functions, just pass
'previous' which tells whether to use the 'previous' or 'current'
geometry during a reshape, and let init_stripe calculate
disks and pd_idx and anything else it might need.
This is not a substantial simplification and even adds a division.
However we will shortly be adding more complexity to init_stripe
to handle more interesting 'reshape' activities, and without this
change, the interface to these functions would get very complex.

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.

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.

When we add some spares to an array and start recovery, and we have
a bitmap which is stored 'internally' on all devices, we call
bitmap_write_all to make sure the bitmap is correct on the new
device(s).
However that doesn't work as write_sb_page only writes to
'In_sync' devices, and devices undergoing recovery are not
'In_sync' until recovery finishes.
So extend write_sb_page (actually next_active_rdev) to include devices
that are under recovery.

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.

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.

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.

There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time
which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed.
When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry
is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having
completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed. So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.
Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.
The first of these requires action in raid10.c
The second requires action in raid1.c and raid10.c

For raid1/4/5/6, resync (fixing inconsistencies between devices) is
very similar to recovery (rebuilding a failed device onto a spare).
The both walk through the device addresses in order.
For raid10 it can be quite different. resync follows the 'array'
address, and makes sure all copies are the same. Recover walks
through 'device' addresses and recreates each missing block.
The 'bitmap_cond_end_sync' function allows the write-intent-bitmap
(When present) to be updated to reflect a partially completed resync.
It makes assumptions which mean that it does not work correctly for
raid10 recovery at all.
In particularly, it can cause bitmap-directed recovery of a raid10 to
not recovery some of the blocks that need to be recovered.
So move the call to bitmap_cond_end_sync into the resync path, rather
than being in the common "resync or recovery" path.

When doing recovery on a raid10 with a write-intent bitmap, we only
need to recovery chunks that are flagged in the bitmap.
However if we choose to skip a chunk as it isn't flag, the code
currently skips the whole raid10-chunk, thus it might not recovery
some blocks that need recovering.
This patch fixes it.
In case that is confusing, it might help to understand that there
is a 'raid10 chunk size' which guides how data is distributed across
the devices, and a 'bitmap chunk size' which says how much data
corresponds to a single bit in the bitmap.
This bug only affects cases where the bitmap chunk size is smaller
than the raid10 chunk size.

Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.
We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.
We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.
So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

ab5bd5cbc8 introduced the following
bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines:
which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.
Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.
The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.
As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as
linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464
Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that
the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.
Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
awkward.
So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.
Writing a name such as "md_home" to
/sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
will cause an array with that name to be created. It will appear in
/sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.
md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
close when the device is inactive.
For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.
The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
other devices.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.
If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.
So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a
complication.
Between the call
__blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
__blkdev_get->md_open
there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.
Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must
fail.
So:
1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
is no longer needed.
This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
md_open.
2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
the gendisk that we did open.
If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
__blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
we loop at most once.
Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).
As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md

Rework table reference counting.
The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is
dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called.
Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other
kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all).
If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table
destructor is called from almost random kernel code.
This leads to various problems:
* dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the
destructor, which calls some sleeping function.
* the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the
same process.
* stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table
constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful
return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing
of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers.
The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be
called only at predetermined places.
The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map
or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted
in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions
is used for table creation/destruction.
Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair
of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it.
When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to
reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with
msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years)
and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't
care if it takes one tick more or not.
This way, the destructor is called only at specific points
(dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy
destruction can't happen.
Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested().
