Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to kobject_del
an 'rdev' object from a different thread.
A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference. Consequently, we need to explicitly hold
a reference to ensure that the last reference isn't dropped before the
scheduled work get a chance to call kobject_del.
Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more obvious in
a stack trace which code is to blame.

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.
This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.
So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.
This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given. This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).
However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do. So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.
This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.
So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.
Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.
Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if
such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.

When a device fails, we must not allow an further writes to the array until
the device failure has been recorded in array metadata. When metadata is
managed externally, this requires some synchronisation...
Allow/require userspace to explicitly remove failed devices from active
service in the array by writing 'none' to the 'slot' attribute. If this
reduces the number of failed devices to 0, the write block will automatically
be lowered.

- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
left of user-space to handle.
Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.
- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
there are any superblocks or not.
- New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records
the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
attribute.
- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
- don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
- Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
- don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.
This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.
However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

We currently do not wait for the block from the missing device to be
computed from parity before copying data to the new stripe layout.
The change in the raid6 code is not techincally needed as we don't delay
data block recovery in the same way for raid6 yet. But making the change
now is safer long-term.

Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio.
In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request
and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always
the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased
and violate max_phys_segments restriction.
This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction.
This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least
two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently.
Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other
restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec.
All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.
