Many 'printk' messages from the raid456 module mention 'raid5' even
though it may be a 'raid6' or even 'raid4' array.  This can cause
confusion.
Also the actual array name is not always reported and when it is
it is not reported consistently.

So change all the messages to start:
    md/raid:%s:
where '%s' becomes e.g. md3 to identify the particular array.

When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.

So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.

This message seems to suggest the named device is the one on which a
read failed, however it is actually the device that the read will be
redirected to.
So make the message a little clearer.

This is
 - unnecessary because mddev_suspend is always followed by a call to
   ->stop, and each ->stop unregisters the thread, and
 - a problem as it makes it awkwards to suspend and then resume a
   device as we will want later.

This is a simple factorisation that makes mddev_find easier to read.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We used to pass the personality make_request function direct
to the block layer so the first argument had to be a queue.
But now we have the intermediary md_make_request so it makes
at lot more sense to pass a struct mddev_s.
It makes it possible to have an mddev without its own queue too.

This moves the call to the other side of set_readonly, but that should
not be an issue.
This encapsulates in 'md_stop' all of the functionality for internally
stopping the array, leaving all the interactions with externalities
(sysfs, request_queue, gendisk) in do_md_stop.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Using do_md_stop to set an array to read-only is a little confusing.
Now most of the common code has been factored out, split
md_set_readonly off in to a separate function.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Further refactoring of do_md_stop.
This one requires some explanation as it takes code from different
places in do_md_stop, so some re-ordering happens.

We only get into this part of do_md_stop if there are no active opens
of the device, so no writes can be happening and the device must have
been flushed.  In md_stop_writes we want to stop any internal sources
of writes - i.e. resync - and flush out the metadata.

The only code that was previously before some of this code is
code to clean up the queue, the mddev, the gendisk, or sysfs, all
of which is probably better after code that makes active changes (i.e.
triggers writes).
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

do_md_stop is large and clunky, so hard to understand.

This is a first step of refactoring, pulling two simple
sub-functions out.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

As part of relaxing the binding between an mddev and gendisk,
we separate do_md_run into two functions.
  md_run does all the work internal to md
  do_md_run calls md_run and makes and changes to gendisk
     that are required.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We set ->changed to 1 and call check_disk_change at the end
of md_open so that bd_invalidated would be set and thus
partition rescan would happen appropriately.

Now that we call revalidate_disk directly, which sets bd_invalidates,
that indirection is no longer needed and can be removed.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Using ->array_sectors rather than get_capacity() is more
direct and is a step towards relaxing the tight connection
between mddev and gendisk.
Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

While I generally prefer letting personalities do as much as possible,
given that we have a central md_make_request anyway we may as well use
it to simplify code.
Also this centralises knowledge of ->gendisk which will help later.

In a subsequent patch we will make it possible to change
mddev->raid_disks while a RAID0 or RAID10 array is active.  This is
part of the process of reshaping such an array.

This means that we cannot use this value while processes requests
(it is OK to use it during initialisation as we are locked against
changes then).
Both RAID0 and RAID10 have the same value stored in the private data
structure, so use that value instead.

Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

There is a very small race window when writing to a
RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong
time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device,
but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that
the write was sent.

Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption.  This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).

Suitable for any pending -stable kernel.

Some levels expect the 'redundancy group' to be present,
others don't.
So when we change level of an array we might need to
add or remove this group.

This requires fixing up the current practice of overloading ->private
to indicate (when ->pers == NULL) that something needs to be removed.
So create a new ->to_remove to fill that role.

When changing levels, we may need to add or remove attributes.  When
changing RAID5 -> RAID6, we both add and remove the same thing.  It is
important to catch this and optimise it out as the removal is delayed
until a lock is released, so trying to add immediately would cause
problems.

When an array is stopped we need to remove some
sysfs files which are dependent on the type of array.

We need to delay that deletion as deleting them while holding
reconfig_mutex can lead to deadlocks.

We currently delay them until the array is completely destroyed.
However it is possible to deactivate and then reactivate the array.
It is also possible to need to remove sysfs files when changing level,
which can potentially happen several times before an array is
destroyed.

So we need to delete these files more promptly: as soon as
reconfig_mutex is dropped.

We need to ensure this happens before do_md_run can restart the array,
so we use open_mutex for some extra locking.  This is not deadlock
prone.

Since commit ef286f6f

When the user sets the block device to readwrite then the mddev should
follow suit.  Otherwise, the BUG_ON in md_write_start() will be set to
trigger.

The reverse direction, setting mddev->ro to match a set readonly
request, can be ignored because the blkdev level readonly flag precludes
the need to have mddev->ro set correctly.  Nevermind the fact that
setting mddev->ro to 1 may fail if the array is in use.

If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.

So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.

This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.
