If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace
tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be
removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes).
This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open.
It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to
be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the
problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.

The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing
them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device,
targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting
ti->begin.
The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking
care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has

This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor

mid-free. At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with
the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size.
Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure
consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two.
Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace
does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst
other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported.
The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place,
removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the
correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk
size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into)
is reinitialised to the correct size.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.
This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.
Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems.
Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but
the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur'
and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop. This should ring
warning bells... That last time through the loop,
size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size
can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds
there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and
further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address.
This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of
the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is
needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop
starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference

if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it

So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch. As the rdev

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However:
- The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
- This code is still marked 'experimental'
- This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
- These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
