md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.
Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.
Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.
So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

A RAID0 array (like a LINEAR array) does not have a concept
of 'size' being the amount of each device that is in use.
Rather, as much of each device as is available is used.
So the 'size' is set to 0 and ignored.
RAID10 does have this concept and needs it to be set correctly.
So when we convert RAID0 to RAID10 we must determine the
'size' (that being the size of the first 'strip_zone' in the
RAID0), and set it correctly.

For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so
enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate
blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can
know which block device to send a given cloned request to).
Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request
completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone
request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2
different request-based DM target_type interfaces:
1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for
non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in
from DM core.
2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for
blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used
respectively from these hooks.
dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is
being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set.
DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This
means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within
the same request-based DM table.

For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned

To prepare for conditionally using this new model the original

Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work
processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke
block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request)
and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM.
The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices.
multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath

Request-based DM support for blk-mq devices requires that
dm_rq_target_io structures not be allocated with an embedded request
structure. The request-based DM target (e.g. dm-multipath) must
allocate the request from the blk-mq devices' request_queue using
blk_get_request().
The unfortunate side-effect of this change is old-style request-based DM
support will no longer use contiguous memory for the dm_rq_target_io and
request structures for each clone.

No rdev attributes need locking for 'show', though

It is important that mddev->private isn't freed while
a sysfs attribute function is accessing it.
So use mddev->lock to protect the setting of ->private to NULL, and
take that lock when checking ->private for NULL and de-referencing it
in the sysfs access functions.
This only applies to the read ('show') side of access. Write
access will be handled separately.

The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races
not protected by ->lock is walking the rdev list.

Now reading /proc/mdstat will never block in md_seq_show.

->pers is already protected by ->reconfig_mutex, and
cannot possibly change when there are threads running or
outstanding IO.
However there are some places where we access ->pers
not in a thread or IO context, and where ->reconfig_mutex
is unnecessarily heavy-weight: level_show and md_seq_show().
So protect all changes, and those accesses, with ->lock.
This is a step toward taking those accesses out from under
reconfig_mutex.

mddev->private. This flexibility will be useful in level_store().
Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was
introduced).
Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a
big problem at the moment.

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
is accessing the ->private data
2/ it frees the ->private data.
All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.
So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

The use of 'rcu' to protect accesses to ->private_data so that
the ->private_data could be updated predates the introduction
of mddev_suspend/mddev_resume.
These are a cleaner mechanism for providing stability while
swapping in a new ->private data - it is used by level_store()
to support changing of raid levels.
So get rid of the RCU stuff and just use mddev_suspend, mddev_resume.
As these function call ->quiesce(), we add an empty function for
linear just like for raid0.

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.
So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further. So the
name is inappropriate.
Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.
So:
-rename write_lock to lock
-document what it protects
-remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq). This can be
cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

That last condition is unclear and over cautious.
There are two related issues here.
If a partial write is destined for a missing device, then
either RMW or RCW can work. We must read all the available
block. Only then can the missing blocks be calculated, and
then the parity update performed.
If RMW is not an option, then there is a complication even
without partial writes. If we would need to read a missing
device to perform the reconstruction, then we must first read every
block so the missing device data can be computed.
This is the case for RAID6 (Which currently does not support
RMW) and for times when we don't trust the parity (after a crash)
and so are in the process of resyncing it.
So make these two cases more clear and separate, and perform
the relevant tests more thoroughly.

Both the last two cases are only relevant if something has failed and
something needs to be written (but not over-written), and if it is OK
to pre-read blocks at this point. So factor out those tests and
explain them.

Some of the conditions in need_this_block have very straight
forward motivation. Separate those out and document them.
