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.

commit d0a4bb4927 introduced a
regression which is annoying but fairly harmless.
When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in
already-recovered region will stay set and never be cleared.
This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'
and always clear the bit of the write went to all devices.

Page attributes are set using __set_bit rather than set_bit as
it normally called under a spinlock so the extra atomicity is not
needed.
However there are two places where we might set or clear page
attributes without holding the spinlock.
So add the spinlock in those cases.
This might be the cause of occasional reports that bits a aren't
getting clear properly - theory is that BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING gets lost
when BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE is set or cleared. This is an
inconvenience, not a threat to data safety.

The 'allclean' flag is used to cache the fact that there is nothing to
do, so we can avoid waking up and scanning the bitmap regularly.
The two sorts of pages that might need the attention of the bitmap
daemon are BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and BITMAP_PAGE_NEEDWRITE pages.
So make sure allclean reflects exactly when there are none of those.
So:
set it before scanning all pages with either bit set.
clear it whenever these bits are set
clear it when we desire not to clear one of these bits.
don't clear it any other time.

The flag 'BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN' has a confusing name as it doesn't mean
that the page is clean, but rather that there are counters in the page
which allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared - i.e. maybe cleaning can
happen.
So change it to BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING and fix some irregularities:
- Don't set it in bitmap_init_from_disk as bitmap_set_memory_bits
sets it when needed
- in bitmap_daemon_work, if we find a counter that is '1', but
need_sync is set, then set BITMAP_PAGE_PENDING again (it was
recently cleared) to ensure we don't forget about this bit.

If a bitmap is found to be 'stale' the events_cleared value
is set to match 'events'.
However if the array is degraded this does not get stored on disk.
This can subsequently lead to incorrect behaviour.
So change bitmap_update_sb to always update events_cleared in the
superblock from the known events_cleared.
For neatness also set ->state from ->flags.
This requires updating ->state whenever we update ->flags, which makes
sense anyway.
This is suitable for any active -stable release.

mddev->curr_resync has artificial values of '1' and '2' which are used
by the code which ensures only one resync is happening at a time on
any given device.
These values are internal and should never be exposed to user-space
(except when translated appropriately as in the 'pending' status in
/proc/mdstat).
Unfortunately they are as ->curr_resync is assigned to
->curr_resync_completed and that value is directly visible through
sysfs.
So change the assignments to ->curr_resync_completed to get the same
valued from elsewhere in a form that doesn't have the magic '1' or '2'
values.

MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is used for two different purposes and this leads to
confusion.
One of the purposes is largely mirrored by MD_CHANGE_PENDING which is
not used for anything else, so have MD_CHANGE_PENDING take over that
purpose fully.
The two purposes are:
1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a
clean/dirty transition.
2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending
(something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the
flag) that the transition is OK.
The first purpose remains wit MD_CHANGE_CLEAN, the second is moved
fully to MD_CHANGE_PENDING.
This means that various places which conditionally set or cleared
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN no longer need to be conditional.

This allows md/raid5 to fully work as a dm target.
Normally md uses a 'filemap' which contains a list of pages of bits
each of which may be written separately.

A bitmap is stored as one page per 2048 bits.
If none of the bits are set, the page is not allocated.
When bitmap_get_counter finds that a page isn't allocate,
it just reports that one bit work of space isn't flagged,
rather than reporting that 2048 bits worth of space are
unflagged.
This can cause searches for flagged bits (e.g. bitmap_close_sync)
to do more work than is really necessary.
So change bitmap_get_counter (when creating) to report a number of
blocks that more accurately reports the range of the device for which
no counter currently exists.

1/ use md_unplug in bitmap.c as we will soon be using bitmaps under
arrays with no queue attached.
2/ Don't bother plugging the queue when we set a bit in the bitmap.
The reason for this was to encourage as many bits as possible to
get set before we unplug and write stuff out.
However every personality already plugs the queue after
bitmap_startwrite either directly (raid1/raid10) or be setting
STRIPE_BIT_DELAY which causes the queue to be plugged later
(raid5).

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards
