RAID10 has been available for quite a while now and is quite well
tested, so we can remove the EXPERIMENTAL designation.

Now that the resources to handle stripe_head operations are allocated
percpu it is possible for raid5d to distribute stripe handling over
multiple cores. This conversion also adds a call to cond_resched() in
the non-multicore case to prevent one core from getting monopolized for
raid operations.

[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]
The raid_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+pq+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.
The operations performed by RAID-6 are the same as in the RAID-5 case
except for no support of STRIPE_OP_PREXOR operations. All the others
are supported:
STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
- copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
- generate missing blocks (1 or 2) in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
- copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT
- recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
- verify that the parity is correct
The flow is the same as in the RAID-5 case, and reuses some routines, namely:
1/ ops_complete_postxor (renamed to ops_complete_reconstruct)
2/ ops_complete_compute (updated to set up to 2 targets uptodate)
3/ ops_run_check (renamed to ops_run_check_p for xor parity checks)

Port drivers/md/raid6test/test.c to use the async raid6 recovery
routines. This is meant as a unit test for raid6 acceleration drivers. In
addition to the 16-drive test case this implements tests for the 4-disk and
5-disk special cases (dma devices can not generically handle less than 2
sources), and adds a test for the D+Q case.

This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.
The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.
The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.
(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.
The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

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

RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation
of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer
(I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't
have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters).
This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way
the user can always override via the kernel command line.

Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH
doesn't exist,just do not allow hardware handlers to be used.
Handle SCSI_DH being a module also. Make sure it doesn't allow DM_MULTIPATH
to be compiled in when SCSI_DH is a module.

This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.
This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
handler are ignored.
One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)
Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.
