When a replacement operation completes there is a small window
when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement
still looks like a replacement. The faulty should be removed and
the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant.
So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that
the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it
doesn't. If the primary device is faulty it just gives up. This
can lead to corruption.
So make the code more robust: if either the primary or the
replacement is present and working, write to them. Only when
neither are present do we give up.
This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

commit 9e44476851
MD: raid5 avoid unnecessary zero page for trim
change raid5 to clear R5_Discard when the complete request is
handled rather than when submitting the per-device discard request.
However it did not clear R5_Discard for the parity device.
This means that if the stripe_head was reused before it expired from
the cache, the setting would be wrong and a hang would result.
Also if the R5_Uptodate bit happens to be set, R5_Discard again
won't be cleared. But R5_Uptodate really should be clear at this point.
So make sure R5_Discard is cleared in all cases, and clear
R5_Uptodate when a 'discard' completes.

The chunk of code in stripe_handle which responds to a
*_result value in reconstruct_state is really the completion
of some processing that happened outside of handle_stripe
(possibly asynchronously) and so should be one of the first
things done in handle_stripe().
After the next patch it will be important that it happens before
handle_stripe_clean_event(), as that will clear some dev->flags

RAID10 arrays, there is no mddev->gendisk or mddev->queue. The code added

setup_conf in raid1.c uses conf->raid_disks before assigning
a value. It is used when including 'Replacement' devices.
The consequence is that assembling an array which contains a
replacement will misbehave and either not include the replacement, or
not include the device being replaced.
Though this doesn't lead directly to data corruption, it could lead to
reduced data safety.
So use mddev->raid_disks, which is initialised, instead.

Use the recently-added bio front_pad field to allocate struct dm_target_io.
Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each
dm_target_io, there is exactly one bio allocated from a bioset.
This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a
bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every
bio allocated from the bioset has sizeof(struct dm_target_io) bytes
before it. We allocate a bio and use the bytes before the bio as
dm_target_io.
_tio_cache is removed and the tio_pool mempool is now only used for
request-based devices.

If 'resync_max' is set to 0 (as is often done when starting a
reshape, so the mdadm can remain in control during a sensitive
period), and if the reshape request is initially delayed because
another array using the same array is resyncing or reshaping etc,
when user-space cannot easily tell when the delay changes from being
due to a conflicting reshape, to being due to resync_max = 0.
So introduce a new state: (curr_resync == 3) to reflect this, make
sure it is visible both via /proc/mdstat and via the "sync_completed"
sysfs attribute, and ensure that the event transition from one delay
state to the other is properly notified.

In some cases array are started in 'read-auto' state where in
nothing gets written to any device until the array is written
to. The purpose of this is to make accidental auto-assembly
of the wrong arrays less of a risk, and to allow arrays to be
started to read suspend-to-disk images without actually changing
anything (as might happen if the array were dirty and a
resync seemed necessary).
Explicitly writing the 'sync_action' for a read-auto array currently
doesn't clear the read-auto state, so the sync action doesn't
happen, which can be confusing.
So allow any successful write to sync_action to clear any read-auto
state.

We want to avoid zero discarded dev page, because it's useless for discard.
But if we don't zero it, another read/write hit such page in the cache and will
get inconsistent data.
To avoid zero the page, we don't set R5_UPTODATE flag after construction is
done. In this way, discard write request is still issued and finished, but read
will not hit the page. If the stripe gets accessed soon, we need reread the
stripe, but since the chance is low, the reread isn't a big deal.

Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is
small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and
write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard
must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk
but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out
fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6
should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the
write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size
is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in
practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size
equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to
stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size.
Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or
part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee
zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level
drives.
The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even
correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out.
For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if
zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after
discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario:
discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The
stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data
from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the
disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable
discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard.
If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue
above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal
write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make
the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data
consistency is important.
If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded
stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is
consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request
stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such
payload. Next patch will avoid it.

There are two table arguments that can be given to a DM RAID target
that control whether the array is forced to (re)synchronize or skip
initialization: "sync" and "nosync". When "sync" is given, we set
mddev->recovery_cp to 0 in order to cause the device to resynchronize.
This is insufficient if there is a bitmap in use, because the array
will simply look at the bitmap and see that there is no recovery
necessary.
The fix is to skip over the loading of the superblocks when "sync" is
given, causing new superblocks to be written that will force the array
to go through initialization (i.e. synchronization).

"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU

workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending()
workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active()
workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues()
workqueue: remove @delayed from cwq_dec_nr_in_flight()
workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item
workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback()
workqueue: use __cpuinit instead of __devinit for cpu callbacks
workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex
workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding
workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding
workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding
workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work()
workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue
workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work
workqueue: clean up delayed_work initializers and add missing one
workqueue: make deferrable delayed_work initializer names consistent
workqueue: cosmetic whitespace updates for macro definitions
workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq
workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
...
Of particular note, are fixes to the thin target's discard support,
which I hope is finally working correctly; and fixes for multipath
ioctls and device limits when there are no paths.
