This makes md do the same thing as dm for write same IO failure. Please
see 7eee4ae(dm: disable WRITE SAME if it fails) for details why we need
this.
We did a little bit different than dm. Instead of disabling writesame in
the first IO error, we disable it till next writesame IO coming after
the first IO error. This way we don't need to clone a bio.

The block tracing infrastructure (accessed with blktrace/blkparse)
supports the tracing of mapping bios from one device to another.
This is currently used when a bio in a partition is mapped to the
whole device, when bios are mapped by dm, and for mapping in md/raid5.
Other md personalities do not include this tracing yet, so add it.
When a read-error is detected we redirect the request to a different device.
This could justifiably be seen as a new mapping for the originial bio,
or a secondary mapping for the bio that errors. This patch uses
the second option.
When md is used under dm-raid, the mappings are not traced as we do
not have access to the block device number of the parent.

When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of ->run, but it is actually part of ->takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:
blk_set_stacking_limits(&mddev->queue->limits);
and so it ineffective. This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.
So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().
As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0. So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
so no need to rush into -stable.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Commit 47d68979cc restored this variable
after the call for later re-use. Unfortunetly the restore was done after
the referenced variable "bio" was advanced. This lead to the original

However:
md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which

raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data,

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
rename is accordingly.
Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using
mddev->private. This flexibility will be useful in level_store().
Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was
introduced).
Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
is accessing the ->private data
2/ it frees the ->private data.
All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.
So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.
So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.
Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.
(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly

When we start sharing biovecs, keeping bi_vcnt accurate for splits is
going to be error prone - and unnecessary, if we refactor some code.
So bio_segments() has to go - but most of the existing users just needed
to know if the bio had multiple segments, which is easier - add a
bio_multiple_segments() for them.
(Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a
couple patches, but the current implementation of bio_segments() is
unsafe as soon as we start doing driver conversions for immutable
biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away
in a couple patches)

RAID5 uses a 'per-array' value for the 'size' of each device.
RAID0 uses a 'per-device' value - it can be different for each device.
When converting a RAID5 to a RAID0 we must ensure that the per-device
size of each device matches the per-array size for the RAID5, else
the array will change size.
If the metadata cannot record a changed per-device size (as is the
case with v0.90 metadata) the array could get bigger on restart. This
does not cause data corruption, so it not a big issue and is mainly
yet another a reason to not use 0.90.

In the current code bio_split() won't be seeing partially completed bios
so this doesn't change any behaviour, but this makes the code a bit

The immediate purpose of the patch is removing unnecessary bi_idx
references, but the end goal is to allow partial completed bios to be
submitted, which along with immutable biovecs enables effecient bio
splitting.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:
disable setting of the available size on each device for
RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so
can change the effective layout of data.
Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes
cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
safe.
Without this change:
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
then read to the end of the array
can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.
These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.
Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.
So:
- rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
- create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
list_for_each_entry,
- use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.
