NeilBrown b7b17c9b67 md: remove mddev_lock() from md_attr_show()
Most attributes can be read safely without any locking.
A race might lead to a slightly out-dated value, but nothing wrong.

We already have locking in some places where needed.
All that remains is can_clear_show(), behind_writes_used_show()
and action_show() which are easily fixed.

NeilBrown 4b5060ddae md/bitmap: always wait for writes on unplug.
If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then
one might schedule all the writes, and the other might
decide that it doesn't need to wait.  But really it does.

It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary,
and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary'
anyway.  So just wait always.

This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens
at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was
updated.  It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable
just to be safe.  Appropriate for any -stable.

NeilBrown f2e06c5884 md/bitmap: remove confusing code from filemap_get_page.
file_page_index(store, 0) is *always* 0.
This is because the bitmap sb, at 256 bytes, is *always* less than
one page.
So subtracting it has no effect and the code should be removed.

NeilBrown 035328c202 md/bitmap: don't abuse i_writecount for bitmap files.
md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file.  But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.

So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.

Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write.  Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

Tejun Heo 324a56e16e kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly
kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
* s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
* s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
* s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
* s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
* s/parent_sd/parent/
* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them.  All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial.  While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

- mic / gpio renames were missing.  Spotted by kbuild test robot.

Tejun Heo 388975ccca sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()
The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
updated by following patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
    error on module builds.  Reported by build test robot.  Fixed.

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

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.

NeilBrown 62f82faace md/bitmap: remove async freeing of bitmap file.
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().

NeilBrown ef99bf480d md/bitmap: allow a bitmap with no backing storage.
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.

NeilBrown bf07bb7d5b md/bitmap: disentangle two different 'pending' flags.
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.

NeilBrown 5a6c824ebb md/bitmap: remove some pointless locking.
There is nothing gained by holding a lock while we check if a pointer
is NULL or not.  If there could be a race, then it could become NULL
immediately after the unlock - but there is no race here.

So just remove the locking.

NeilBrown 278c1ca2f2 md/bitmap: change a 'goto' to a normal 'if' construct.
The use of a goto makes the control flow more obscure here.

So make it a normal:
  if (x) {
     Y;
  }

No functional change.

NeilBrown 57148964d9 md/bitmap: move printing of bitmap status to bitmap.c
The part of /proc/mdstat which describes the bitmap should really
be generated by code in bitmap.c.  So move it there.

NeilBrown dafb20fa34 md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.
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.

NeilBrown 4474ca42e2 md/bitmap: ensure to load bitmap when creating via sysfs.
When commit 69e51b449d (md/bitmap:  separate out loading a bitmap...)
created bitmap_load, it missed calling it after bitmap_create when a
bitmap is created through the sysfs interface.
So if a bitmap is added this way, we don't allocate memory properly
and can crash.

This is suitable for any -stable release since 2.6.35.

NeilBrown 915c420ddf md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap.
For each active region corresponding to a bit in the bitmap with have
a 14bit counter (and some flags).
This counts
   number of active writes + bit in the on-disk bitmap + delay-needed.

The "delay-needed" is because we always want a delay before clearing a
bit.  So the number here is normally number of active writes plus 2.
If there have been no writes for a while, we drop to 1.
If still no writes we clear the bit and drop to 0.

So for consistency, when setting bit from the on-disk bitmap or by
request from user-space it is best to set the counter to '2' to start
with.

In particular we might also set the NEEDED_MASK flag at this time, and
in all other cases NEEDED_MASK is only set when the counter is 2 or
more.

NeilBrown 2e61ebbcc4 md/bitmap: daemon_work cleanup.
We have a variable 'mddev' in this function, but repeatedly get the
same value by dereferencing bitmap->mddev.
There is room for simplification here...
