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.

dm-raid currently open-codes the freeing of some members of

dm-raid.c

When reshaping we can avoid costly intermediate backup by
changing the 'start' address of the array on the device
(if there is enough room).
So as a first step, allow such a change to be requested
through sysfs, and recorded in v1.x metadata.
(As we didn't previous check that all 'pad' fields were zero,
we need a new FEATURE flag for this.
A (belatedly) check that all remaining 'pad' fields are
zero to avoid a repeat of this)
The new data offset must be requested separately for each device.
This allows each to have a different change in the data offset.
This is not likely to be used often but as data_offset can be
set per-device, new_data_offset should be too.
This patch also removes the 'acknowledged' arg to rdev_set_badblocks as
it is never used and never will be. At the same time we add a new
arg ('in_new') which is currently always zero but will be used more
soon.
When a reshape finishes we will need to update the data_offset
and rdev->sectors. So provide an exported function to do that.

Currently a reshape operation always progresses from the start
of the array to the end unless the number of devices is being
reduced, in which case it progressed in the opposite direction.
To reverse a partial reshape which changes the number of devices
you can stop the array and re-assemble with the raid-disks numbers
reversed and it will undo.
However for a reshape that does not change the number of devices
it is not possible to reverse the reshape in the middle - you have to
wait until it completes.
So add a 'reshape_direction' attribute with is either 'forwards' or
'backwards' and can be explicitly set when delta_disks is zero.
This will become more important when we allow the data_offset to
change in a reshape. Then the explicit statement of what direction is
being used will be more useful.
This can be enabled in raid5 trivially as it already supports
reverse reshape and just needs to use a different trigger to request it.

Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.
So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.
This introduces a small problem. There is no locking around calls
the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request. So a
device added between these could end up getting a request which
violates its merge_bvec_fn.
Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched(). This will work
providing no preemption happens. If there is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.
Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.
So:
- rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
- create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
list_for_each_entry,
- use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a
device to be replaced without removing it from the array first.
With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while
the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from
an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array
degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original
device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason.
This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10.
This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement
device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device.
It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via
sysfs.
"want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced.
"replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another
device.
The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original
device, not the replacement. We currently don't make links for the
replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need.

Soon an array will be able to have multiple devices with the
same raid_disk number (an original and a replacement). So removing
a device based on the number won't work. So pass the actual device
handle instead.

Two related problems:
1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
without subsequently clearing ->thread. A subsequent call
to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.
2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
disappeared either by:
- holding the ->mutex
- having an active request, so something else must be keeping
the array active.
However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
->thread could theoretically disappear.
So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.
So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.
Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.
If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.
We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.
This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.
It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.
When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).
We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata. This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed. Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.
Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.
The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks. So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
there.
2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
device, but can still be served by the array.
This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
per bio. This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
and queue another request for the rest.
This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.
'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.

Space must have been allocated when array was created.
A feature flag is set when the badblock list is non-empty, to
ensure old kernels don't load and trust the whole device.
We only update the on-disk badblocklist when it has changed.
If the badblocklist (or other metadata) is stored on a bad block, we
don't cope very well.
If metadata has no room for bad block, flag bad-blocks as disabled,
and do the same for 0.90 metadata.

If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.
Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1. For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.
So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.
This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.
