md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines,
which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address
for CPU based calculations.
For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages.
For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros.
For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the
hardware.
Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to
raid6_empty_zero_page. This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a
'struct page'. This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly.
So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks.
When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and
in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices,
conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices.
However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of
currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes.
Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always
'new' i.e. ->raid_disks.
Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places.
This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while
in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices.
md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%). However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe(). As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).
By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated. This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6
echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for
further multicore experimentation.

Deallocating a raid5_conf_t structure requires taking 'device_lock'.
Ensure it is initialized before it is used, i.e. initialize the lock

The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called
mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and
can be confusion.
So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality
unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given.
This is simpler and more correct.

Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain
such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes.
If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is
required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization. The async_tx
api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx'
parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain
only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency. So,
provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies.

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.

Implement the state machine for handling the RAID-6 parities check and
repair functionality. Note that the raid6 case does not need to check
for new failures, like raid5, as it will always writeback the correct
disks. The raid5 case can be updated to check zero_sum_result to avoid
getting confused by new failures rather than retrying the entire check
operation.

In the synchronous implementation of stripe dirtying we processed a
degraded stripe with one call to handle_stripe_dirtying6(). I.e.
compute the missing blocks from the other drives, then copy in the new
data and reconstruct the parities.
In the asynchronous case we do not perform stripe operations directly.
Instead, operations are scheduled with flags to be later serviced by
raid_run_ops. So, for the degraded case the final reconstruction step
can only be carried out after all blocks have been brought up to date by
being read, or computed. Like the raid5 case schedule_reconstruction()
sets STRIPE_OP_RECONSTRUCT to request a parity generation pass and
through operation chaining can handle compute and reconstruct in a
single raid_run_ops pass.

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)
