29fc7e3e70 [PATCH] md: Assorted little md fixes
- version-1 superblock
  + The default_bitmap_offset is in sectors, not bytes.
  + the 'size' field in the superblock is in sectors, not KB
- raid0_run should return a negative number on error, not '1'
- raid10_read_balance should not return a valid 'disk' number if
     ->rdev turned out to be NULL
- kmem_cache_destroy doesn't like being passed a NULL.

284ae7cab0 [PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better
mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.

978f946bb6 [PATCH] md: Don't remove bitmap from md array when switching to read-only
While a read-only array doesn't not really need a bitmap, we should
not remove the bitmap when switching an array to read-only because
 a/ There is no code to re-add the bitmap which switching to read-write,
 b/ There is insufficient locking - the bitmap could be accessed while it is
    being removed.

6d89332b77 [PATCH] md: Fix device-size updates in md
As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

17115e0388 [PATCH] md: Clear clevel whenever level is set.
The 'level' of an md array can be set as either a number of a string.  When
one is set, the other must be marked 'undefined'.  This wasn't being done
in one place: where new arrays are created.

Result: if md1 is a raid1, it is stopped and a raid5 is created there, it
might still appear to be a raid1.

a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

d7603b7e3a [PATCH] md: make /proc/mdstat pollable
With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing
or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing,
and devices being added and removed.

It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that:

We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if
only for EOF).

We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect
it as an exceptional event.  Not only are these exceptional events, but
that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events
(It also polls after a timeout).
(We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts).

Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file
is read, rather than when poll() returns an event.  This is more robust as it
means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the
program clearly responds to that activity.

md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

c0e485216d [PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting happens when request completes
md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO.  It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.

disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued.  This upsets md's calculations.

We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems.  If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted.  This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.

So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time.  The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync.  This should be fixed up.

For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.

Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO.  To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

bb636547b0 [PATCH] md: document sysfs usage of md, and make a couple of small refinements
Document in Documentation/md.txt the files that now appear in sysfs, and make
a couple of small refinements to exactly when 'level' and 'raid_disks' are
empty, to make it match the documentation.

7eec314d75 [PATCH] md: improve 'scan_mode' and rename it to 'sync_action'
The current sync_action for an array can be one of

   idle  - nothing happening
   resync - reduncancy being recalcualted
   recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
   check   - user initiated check of redundancy
   repair  - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
             bitmap optimisation.

Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause
that action to happen (if appropriate).

While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I
think it is the most servicable word here.  Also 'action' is a strong word
than 'mode'.

787453c239 [PATCH] md: complete conversion of md to use kthreads
There are a few loose ends following the conversion of md to use kthreads:

- Some fields in mdk_thread_t that aren't needed (kthreads does it's own
  completion and manages it's own name).

- thread->run is now never NULL, so no need to check

- Some tests for signal_pending that aren't needed (As we don't use signals
  to stop threads any more)

- Some flush_signals are not needed

- Some waits are interruptible and don't need to be.

fd9d49cac4 [PATCH] md: ignore auto-readonly flag for arrays where it isn't meaningful
The 'auto-readonly' flag (which suppresses resync and superblock updates until
the first write) is not meaningful for personalities that don't support resync
or superblock writes (raid0, linear, etc).

So clear the setting early to avoid it confusing anything - e.g.  appearing in
/proc/mdstat

8e1b39d623 [PATCH] md: only try to print recovery/resync status for personalities that support recovery
The introduction of 'resync=PENDING' (for read-only devices) caused that
message to appear for non-syncable arrays like raid0 and linear.  Simplest
thing is to not try to print any resync info unless the personality clearly
supports it.

411036fa19 [PATCH] md: split off some md attributes in sysfs to a separate group
Some, but not all, md array support data redundancy and hence support checking
and restoring that redundancy (resync, rebuild).

Some attributes apply specifically to functions involving this redundancy, and
so should only appear for md arrays for which they are meaningful.  i.e.  they
should not appear for raid0, linear, multpath, faulty.

This patch separates these into a distinct group and creates the group only if
the personality supports sync_request.

96de1e663c [PATCH] md: fix some locking and module refcounting issues with md's use of sysfs
1/ I really should be using the __ATTR macros for defining attributes, so
   that the .owner field get set properly, otherwise modules can be removed
   while sysfs files are open.  This also involves some name changes of _show
   routines.

2/ Always lock the mddev (against reconfiguration) for all sysfs attribute
   access.  This easily avoid certain races and is completely consistant with
   other interfaces (ioctl and /proc/mdstat both always lock against
   reconfiguration).

3/ raid5 attributes must check that the 'conf' structure actually exists
   (the array could have been stopped while an attribute file was open).

4/ A missing 'kfree' from when the raid5_conf_t was converted to have a
   kobject embedded, and then converted back again.

f637b9f9fc [PATCH] md: make sure /block link in /sys/.../md/ goes to correct devices
If a block_device is a partition, then it's kobject is
  bdev->bd_part->kobj
otherwise (if it is a full device), the kobject is
  bdev->bd_disk->kobj

As md wants back-links to the correct object (whether partition or not), we
need to respect this difference...  (Thus current code shows a link to the
whole device, whether we are using a partition or not, which is wrong).

f91de92ed6 [PATCH] md: allow md arrays to be started read-only (module parameter).
When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may
commense.  This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for
example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image.

So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set
to '1' at boot, at module load, or via
  /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro

When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all
internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically
switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.

The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first
write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.
