The complete_resync_work function only provides the ability to change an
out-of-sync region to in-sync. This patch enhances the function to allow us
to change the status from in-sync to out-of-sync as well, something that is
needed when a mirror write to one of the devices or an initial resync on a
given region fails.

Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.
The pushback request is used when:
1) there are no valid paths;
2) queue_if_no_path was set;
3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.
To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.
The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.
Test results:

In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.
This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
----------------------
If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.
The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.
Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
-----------------------------------
A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.
Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'.
The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.
dec_pending
-----------
dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.
It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.
pushdback list and pushback_lock
--------------------------------
The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.
Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.
Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.
The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.
Other notes on the current patch
--------------------------------
- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.
- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.
- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())
Test results
------------
I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.
The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
- I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
- I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
set;
- I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set;
- The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
fail.
The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
ioctl option;
- The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
resume is issued without path recovery;
- The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
or table load;
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.
The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
- When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
pushback list are flushed properly.
- When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no
existing targets using such values.
The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement
so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.
The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
< 0 : error
= 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
= 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
> 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
for similar reasons.
DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.
Test results:
I have tested by using the multipath target.
I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.
I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.
I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.
So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image. Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.
For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

There is a race between dev_create() and find_device().
If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to
behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a
dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took.
The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch.
It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created
device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is
that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev
configurations can lead to this happening.

Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and
remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array
is read and consistancies are reported.
This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs
that a resync is being started. This understandably confuses/worries people.
Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a
check.
This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

This is very different from other raid levels and all requests go through a
'stripe cache', and it has congestion management already.
