Now that bitmaps can grow and shrink it is best if we record
how much space is available. This means that when
we reduce the size of the bitmap we won't "lose" the space
for late when we might want to increase the size of the bitmap
again.

As a reshape may change the sync_size and/or chunk_size, we need
to update these whenever we write out the bitmap superblock.

This function will allocate the new data structures and copy
bits across from old to new, allowing for the possibility that the
chunksize has changed.
Use the same function for performing the initial allocation
of the structures. This improves test coverage.
When bitmap_resize is used to resize an existing bitmap, it
only copies '1' bits in, not '0' bits.
So when allocating the bitmap, ensure everything is initialised
to ZERO.

The new "struct bitmap_counts" contains all the fields that are
related to counting the number of active writes in each bitmap chunk.
Having this separate will make it easier to change the chunksize
or overall size of a bitmap atomically.

Using e.g. set_bit instead of __set_bit and using test_and_clear_bit
allow us to remove some locking and contract other locked ranges.
It is rare that we set or clear a lot of these bits, so gain should
outweigh any cost.

There functions really do one thing together: release the
'bitmap_storage'. So make them just one function.
Since we removed the locking (previous patch), we don't need to zero
any fields before freeing them, so it all becomes a bit simpler.

There is no real value in freeing things the moment there is an error.
It is just as good to free the bitmap file and pages when the bitmap
is explicitly removed (and replaced?) or at shutdown.
With this gone, the bitmap will only disappear when the array is
quiescent, so we can remove some locking.
As the 'filemap' doesn't disappear now, include extra checks before
trying to write any of it out.
Also remove the check for "has it disappeared" in
bitmap_daemon_write().

All of these sites can only be called from process context with
irqs enabled, so using irqsave/irqrestore just adds noise.
Remove it.

We currently use '&' and '|' which isn't the norm in the kernel
and doesn't allow easy atomicity.
So change to bit numbers and {set,clear,test}_bit.
This allows us to remove a spinlock/unlock (which was dubious anyway)
and some other simplifications.

Just do single-bit manipulations on bitmap->flags and copy whole
value between that and sb->state.
This will allow next patch which changes how bit manipulations are
performed on bitmap->flags.
This does result in BITMAP_STALE not being set in sb by
bitmap_read_sb, however as the setting is determined by other
information in the 'sb' we do not lose information this way.
Normally, bitmap_load will be called shortly which will clear
BITMAP_STALE anyway.

This function isn't really needed. It sets or clears a flag in both
bitmap->flags and sb->state.
However both times it is called, bitmap_update_sb is called soon
afterwards which copies bitmap->flags to sb->state.
So just make changes to bitmap->flags, and open-code those rather than
hiding in a function.

This new 'struct bitmap_storage' reflects the external storage of the
bitmap.
Having this clearly defined will make it easier to change the storage
used while the array is active.

Most often we have the page number, not the page. And that is what
the *_page_attr() functions really want. So change the arguments to
take that number.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Instead of allocating pages in read_sb_page, read_page and
bitmap_read_sb, allocate them all in bitmap_init_from disk.
Also replace the hack of calling "attach_page_buffers(page, NULL)" to
ensure that free_buffer() won't complain, by putting a test for
PagePrivate in free_buffer().

An md bitmap comprises two parts
- internal counting of active writes per 'chunk'.
- external storage of whether there are any active writes on
each chunk
The second requires the first, but the first doesn't require the
second.
Not having backing storage means that the bitmap cannot expedite
resync after a crash, but it still allows us to expedite the recovery
of a recently-removed device.
So: allow a bitmap to exist even if there is no backing device.
In that case we default to 128M chunks.
A particular value of this is that we can remove and re-add a bitmap
(possibly of a different granularity) on a degraded array, and not
lose the information needed to fast-recover the missing device.
We don't actually activate these bitmaps yet - that will come
in a later patch.

If we are to allow bitmaps to be resized when the array is resized,
we need to know how much space there is.
So create an attribute to store this information and set appropriate
defaults.
It can be set more precisely via sysfs, or future metadata extensions
may allow it to be recorded.

There are two different 'pending' concepts in the handling of the
write intent bitmap.
Firstly, a 'page' from the bitmap (which container PAGE_SIZE*8 bits)
may have changes (bits cleared) that should be written in due course.
There is no hurry for these and the page will transition from
PENDING to NEEDWRITE and will then be written, though if it ever
becomes DIRTY it will be written much sooner and PENDING will be
cleared.
Secondly, a page of counters - which contains PAGE_SIZE/2 counters, one
for each bit, can usefully have a 'pending' flag which indicates if
any of the counters are low (2 or 1) and ready to be processed by
bitmap_daemon_work(). If this flag is clear we can skip the whole
page.
These two concepts are currently combined in the bitmap-file flag.
This causes a tighter connection between the counters and the bitmap
file than I would like - as I want to add some flexibility to the
bitmap file.
So introduce a new flag with the page-of-counters, and rewrite
bitmap_daemon_work() so that it handles the two different 'pending'
concepts separately.
This also allows us to clear BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING when we write out
a dirty page, which may occasionally reduce the number of times we
write a page.

commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro"
replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was
replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong.
The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1,
which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how).
So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO
which is no longe used.

If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible
for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being
initialised.
This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees
bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly.
So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap
to prevent problems.
This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not
apply cleanly before about 3.1.

bitmap_new_disk_sb() would still create V3 bitmap superblock
with host-endian layout.
Perhaps I'm confused, but shouldn't bitmap_new_disk_sb() be
creating a V4 bitmap superblock instead, that is portable,
as per comment in bitmap.h?
