01f96c0a99 md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.
Two related problems:

1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
   without subsequently clearing ->thread.  A subsequent call
   to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.

2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
   disappeared either by:
      - holding the ->mutex
      - having an active request, so something else must be keeping
        the array active.
   However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
   mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
   ->thread could theoretically disappear.
   So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.

So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.

079fa166a2 md/raid1,10: Remove use-after-free bug in make_request.
A single request to RAID1 or RAID10 might result in multiple
requests if there are known bad blocks that need to be avoided.

To detect if we need to submit another write request we test:
 	if (sectors_handled < (bio->bi_size >> 9)) {

However this is after we call **_write_done() so the 'bio' no longer
belongs to us - the writes could have completed and the bio freed.

So move the **_write_done call until after the test against
bio->bi_size.

This addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41862

3a9f28a511 md/raid1: improve handling of read failure during recovery.
If we cannot read a block from anywhere during recovery, there is
now a better approach than just giving up.
We can record a bad block on each device and keep going - being
careful not to clear the bad block when a write succeeds as it might -
it will be a write of incorrect data.

We have now reached the state where - for raid1 - we only call
md_error if md_set_badblocks has failed.

d8f05d2995 md/raid1: record badblocks found during resync etc.
If we find a bad block while writing as part of resync/recovery we
need to report that back to raid1d which must record the bad block,
or fail the device.

Similarly when fixing a read error, a further error should just
record a bad block if possible rather than failing the device.

de393cdea6 md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.
It is only safe to choose not to write to a bad block if that bad
block is safely recorded in metadata - i.e. if it has been
'acknowledged'.

If it hasn't we need to wait for the acknowledgement.

We support that using rdev->blocked wait and
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev by introducing a new device flag
'BlockedBadBlock'.

This flag is only advisory.
It is cleared whenever we acknowledge a bad block, so that a waiter
can re-check the particular bad blocks that it is interested it.

It should be set by a caller when they find they need to wait.
This (set after test) is inherently racy, but as
md_wait_for_blocked_rdev already has a timeout, losing the race will
have minimal impact.

When we clear "Blocked" was also clear "BlockedBadBlocks" incase it
was set incorrectly (see above race).

We also modify the way we manage 'Blocked' to fit better with the new
handling of 'BlockedBadBlocks' and to make it consistent between
externally managed and internally managed metadata.   This requires
that each raidXd loop checks if the metadata needs to be written and
triggers a write (md_check_recovery) if needed.  Otherwise a queued
write request might cause raidXd to wait for the metadata to write,
and only that thread can write it.

Before writing metadata, we set FaultRecorded for all devices that
are Faulty, then after writing the metadata we clear Blocked for any
device for which the Fault was certainly Recorded.

The 'faulty' device flag now appears in sysfs if the device is faulty
*or* it has unacknowledged bad blocks.  So user-space which does not
understand bad blocks can continue to function correctly.
User space which does, should not assume a device is faulty until it
sees the 'faulty' flag, and then sees the list of unacknowledged bad
blocks is empty.

06f603851f md/raid1: avoid reading known bad blocks during resync
When performing resync/etc, keep the size of the request
small enough that it doesn't overlap any known bad blocks.
Devices with badblocks at the start of the request are completely
excluded.
If there is nowhere to read from due to bad blocks, record
a bad block on each target device.

Now that we never read from known-bad-blocks we can allow devices with
known-bad-blocks into a RAID1.

d2eb35acfd md/raid1: avoid reading from known bad blocks.
Now that we have a bad block list, we should not read from those
blocks.
There are several main parts to this:
  1/ read_balance needs to check for bad blocks, and return not only
     the chosen device, but also how many good blocks are available
     there.
  2/ fix_read_error needs to avoid trying to read from bad blocks.
  3/ read submission must be ready to issue multiple reads to
     different devices as different bad blocks on different devices
     could mean that a single large read cannot be served by any one
     device, but can still be served by the array.
     This requires keeping count of the number of outstanding requests
     per bio.  This count is stored in 'bi_phys_segments'
  4/ retrying a read needs to also be ready to submit a smaller read
     and queue another request for the rest.

This does not yet handle bad blocks when reading to perform resync,
recovery, or check.

'md_trim_bio' will also be used for RAID10, so put it in md.c and
export it.

5389042ffa md: change managed of recovery_disabled.
If we hit a read error while recovering a mirror, we want to abort the
recovery without necessarily failing the disk - as having a disk this
a read error is better than not having an array at all.

Currently this is managed with a per-array flag "recovery_disabled"
and is only implemented for RAID1.  For RAID10 we will need finer
grained control as we might want to disable recovery for individual
devices separately.

So push more of the decision making into the personality.
'recovery_disabled' is now a 'cookie' which is copied when the
personality want to disable recovery and is changed when a device is
added to the array as this is used as a trigger to 'try recovery
again'.

This will allow RAID10 to get the control that it needs.

b098636cf0 md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.
The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp),
records where a resync is up to.  A value of 0 means the array is
not known to be in-sync at all.  A value of MaxSector means the array
is believed to be fully in-sync.

When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is
increased, the array can be increased to match.  This process sets
resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of
the array gets resynced.

However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary
and may be undesirable.  So it would be good if the implied resync
after the array is resized could be avoided.

So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array
is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while
resync/recovery is 'frozen'.  Changing it once resync has started is
not going to be useful anyway.

This allows the array to be resized without a resync by:
  write 'frozen' to 'sync_action'
  write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start)
  write 'none' to 'resync_start'
  write 'idle' to 'sync_action'.

Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing
raid1/raid5.  Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be
more careful in our tests.

7ca78d57d1 md/raid1: try fix_sync_read_error before process_checks.
If we get a read error during resync/recovery we current repeat with
single-page reads to find out just where the error is, and possibly
read each page from a different device.

With check/repair we don't currently do that, we just fail.
However it is possible that while all devices fail on the large 64K
read, we might be able to satisfy each 4K from one device or another.

So call fix_sync_read_error before process_checks to maximise the
chance of finding good data and writing it out to the devices with
read errors.

For this to work, we need to set the 'uptodate' flags properly after
fix_sync_read_error has succeeded.

so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.

It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item
previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the
mempool is close to exhaustion.

So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple
devices in raid1 and raid10.
Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.

This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting
any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and
possible handle the write completion at that point.

When performing a resync we pre-allocate some bios and repeatedly use
them.  This requires us to re-initialise them each time.
One field (bi_comp_cpu) and some flags weren't being initiaised
reliably.

7571ae887d md/raid1: avoid overflow in raid1 resync when bitmap is in use.
bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the
number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again.
Since commit ef42567335 this number can be substantially larger,
2^27 is a common value.

Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts
it 9 places to the left it becomes 0.  This results in a zero-length
read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about.

This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with
a trivially-correct patch.

In the next merge window we will convert this 'int' to a 'sector_t'

e9c7469bb4 md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.

* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
  processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
  queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.

* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
  logic.  Retry logic is removed.

* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
  be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
  deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
  is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.

For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.

* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
  request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.

* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
  biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
  of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
  writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
  is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.

* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.

linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

2c7d46ec19 md raid-1/10 Fix bio_rw bit manipulations again
commit 7b6d91daee changed the behaviour
of a few variables in raid1 and raid10 from flags to bit-sets, but
left them as type 'bool' so they did not work.

Change them (back) to unsigned long.

6b96562054 md: provide appropriate return value for spare_active functions.
md_check_recovery expects ->spare_active to return 'true' if any
spares were activated, but none of them do, so the consequent change
in 'degraded' is not notified through sysfs.

So count the number of spares activated, subtract it from 'degraded'
just once, and return it.

e6ffbcb6cd md: Notify sysfs when RAID1/5/10 disk is In_sync.
When RAID1 is done syncing disks, it'll update the state
of synced rdevs to In_sync. But it neglected to notify
sysfs that the attribute changed. So any programs that
are waiting for an rdev's state to change will not be
woken.
