Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have
been flushed.

To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented
each time the raid5 is unplugged.

If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes,
and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write.

When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that
write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq
number.

We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush
and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so
should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

It is possibly (and occasionally useful) to have a raid1 without persistent
superblocks.  The code in add_new_disk for adding a device to such an array

Both file-bitmaps and superblock bitmaps are supported.

If you add a bitmap file on the array device, you lose.

This introduces a 'default_bitmap_offset' field in mddev, as the ioctl used

The bug is that if you create an array with an internal bitmap, shut it down,
and then create an array with the same md device, the md drive will assume it

   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

currently, md updates all superblocks (one on each device) in series.  It
waits for one write to complete before starting the next.  This isn't a big
problem as superblock updates don't happen that often.

However it is neater to do it in parallel, and if the drives in the array have
gone to "sleep" after a period of idleness, then waking them is parallel is
faster (and someone else should be worrying about power drain).

Futher, we will need parallel superblock updates for a future patch which
keeps the intent-logging bitmap near the superblock.

Also remove the silly code that retired superblock updates 100 times.  This
simply never made sense.

Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.

The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.

However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.

So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.

This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file.  Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.

After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.

Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction.  This is not implemented in
this patch.

Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.

The patch only provided infrastructure.  It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.

Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file.  This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
 from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
 The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
 in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
 the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
 Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
 0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
 that it skipped the sectors.  This allows md to take this into account
 in the speed calculations.
 Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
 that is coming will use this.

When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls
generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within
generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause
problems later.

With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and
write request are delayed until that write completes.

md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'.
i.e.  if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed.

This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called
(almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of
md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call
md_check_recovery as well.

So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into
md_check_recovery.

The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
md_handle_safemode.  This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a
no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing
we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)
