MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.
Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.
Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,

blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
so make sure that it does.
To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.
As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions. We don't
need the locking, just the warning removal.
This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is
which is 2.6.37 and later.

Add new parameter to 'sync_page_io'.
The new parameter allows us to distinguish between metadata and data
operations. This becomes important later when we add the ability to
use separate devices for data and metadata.

Commit 4044ba58dd supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error
during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in
an infinite loop.
However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
from the array. But that does not happen in this case. So add a test
so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.
This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when
recovery_disabled was introduced.

bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
the pool can cause deadlocks.
So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
than the common pool.
This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.

Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'.
Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'.
We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io,
So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it.

Though this mem alloc is GFP_NOIO an so will not deadlock, it seems
better to do the allocation before 'raise_barrier' which stops any IO
requests while the resync proceeds.
raid10 always uses this order, so it is at least consistent to do the
same in raid1.

bio_alloc can never fail (as it uses a mempool) but an block
indefinitely, especially if the caller is holding a reference to a
previously allocated bio.
So these to places which both handle failure and hold multiple bios
should not use bio_alloc, they should use bio_kmalloc.

It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item
previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the
mempool is close to exhaustion.
So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple
devices in raid1 and raid10.
Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.
This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting
any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and
possible handle the write completion at that point.

When performing a resync we pre-allocate some bios and repeatedly use

bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the
number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again.
Since commit ef42567335 this number can be substantially larger,
2^27 is a common value.
Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts
it 9 places to the left it becomes 0. This results in a zero-length
read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about.
This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with
a trivially-correct patch.
In the next merge window we will convert this 'int' to a 'sector_t'

This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.
* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.
* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
logic. Retry logic is removed.
* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
deferred to request_queue of member devices. md_barrier_request()
is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.
For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough. raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.
* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
request_queues of member devices. Barrier related logic removed.
* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped. FUA bit is propagated through
biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
writes was FUA. preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.
* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.
linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

md_check_recovery expects ->spare_active to return 'true' if any
spares were activated, but none of them do, so the consequent change
in 'degraded' is not notified through sysfs.
So count the number of spares activated, subtract it from 'degraded'
just once, and return it.

When RAID1 is done syncing disks, it'll update the state
of synced rdevs to In_sync. But it neglected to notify
sysfs that the attribute changed. So any programs that
are waiting for an rdev's state to change will not be
woken.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
