mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.
So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.
To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
get_array_info
change one field
set_array_info
in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all. So test for that in update_array_info.

As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
and it doesn't change the size of the array.
When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing
or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing,
and devices being added and removed.
It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that:
We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if
only for EOF).
We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect
it as an exceptional event. Not only are these exceptional events, but
that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events
(It also polls after a timeout).
(We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts).
Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file
is read, rather than when poll() returns an event. This is more robust as it
means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the
program clearly responds to that activity.
md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
check - user initiated check of redundancy
repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
bitmap optimisation.
Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause

When an md array is started, the superblock will be written, and resync may
commense. This is not good if you want to be completely read-only as, for
example, when preparing to resume from a suspend-to-disk image.
So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set
to '1' at boot, at module load, or via
/sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro
When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all
internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically
switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.
The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before the first
write request, or resync can be started without a write using 'mdadm -w'.

We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle
barriers, and that can, of course, change with time....
So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,
and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.
We initially assumes barriers are OK.
When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag
things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly.
If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to
resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to
finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag.
When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but
which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this,
and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the
r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find.
We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid.
It should only happen if:
1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices
change like this, though raid1 can!
or
2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to
pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

Two refinements to the 'attempt-overwrite-on-read-error' mechanism.
1/ If the array is read-only, don't attempt an over-write.
2/ If there are more than max_nr_stripes read errors on a device with
no success, fail the drive. This will make sure a dead
drive will be eventually kicked even when we aren't trying
to rewrite (which would normally kick a dead drive more quickly.

Each device in an md array how has a corresponding
/sys/block/mdX/md/devNN/
directory which can contain attributes. Currently there is only 'state' which
summarises the state, nd 'super' which has a copy of the superblock, and
'block' which is a symlink to the block device.
Also, /sys/block/mdX/md/rdNN represents slot 'NN' in the array, and is a
symlink to the relevant 'devNN'. Obviously spare devices do not have a slot
in the array, and so don't have such a symlink.

The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

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.

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.

The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
