070ec55d07 md: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macro
Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful.
I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private,
than have to know what the macro does.

So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

a6b3deafe0 md: raid0: remove setting of segment boundary.
This setting doesn't seem to make sense (half the chunk size??) and
shouldn't be needed.
The segment boundary exported by raid0 should simply be the minimum
of the segment boundary of all component devices.  And we already
get that right.

b414579f45 md: raid0: remove ->dev pointer from strip_zone structure
If we treat conf->devlist more like a 2 dimensional array,
we can get the devlist for a particular zone simply by indexing
that array, so we don't need to store the pointers to subarrays
in strip_zone.  This makes strip_zone smaller and so (hopefully)
searches faster.

49f357a22b md: raid0: remove ->sectors from the strip_zone structure.
storing ->sectors is redundant as is can be computed from the
difference  z->zone_end - (z-1)->zone_end

The one place where it is used, it is just as efficient to use
a zone_end value instead.

And removing it makes strip_zone smaller, so they array of these that
is searched on every request has a better chance to say in cache.

So discard the field and get the value from elsewhere.

ed7b00380d md: raid0: Allocate all buffers for the raid0 configuration in one function.
Currently the raid0 configuration is allocated in raid0_run() while
the buffers for the strip_zone and the dev_list arrays are allocated
in create_strip_zones(). On errors, all three buffers are freed
in raid0_run().

It's easier and more readable to do the allocation and cleanup within
a single function. So move that code into create_strip_zones().

5568a6035d md: raid0: Make raid0_run() return a proper error code.
Currently raid0_run() always returns -ENOMEM on errors. This is
incorrect as running the array might fail for other reasons, for
example because not all component devices were available.

This patch changes create_strip_zones() so that it returns a proper
error code (either -ENOMEM or -EINVAL) rather than 1 on errors and
makes raid0_run(), its single caller, return that value instead
of -ENOMEM.

d27a43abd7 md/raid0: two cleanups in create_stripe_zones.
1/ remove current_start.  The same value is available in
     zone->dev_start and storing it separately doesn't gain anything.
2/ rename curr_zone_start to curr_zone_end as we are now more
     focused on the 'end' of each zone.  We end up storing the
     same number though - the old name was a little confusing
     (and what does 'current' mean in this context anyway).

dc58266385 md: raid0: Replace hash table lookup by looping over all strip_zones.
The number of strip_zones of a raid0 array is bounded by the number of
drives in the array and is in fact much smaller for typical setups. For
example, any raid0 array containing identical disks will have only
a single strip_zone.

Therefore, the hash tables which are used for quickly finding the
strip_zone that holds a particular sector are of questionable value
and add quite a bit of unnecessary complexity.

This patch replaces the hash table lookup by equivalent code which
simply loops over all strip zones to find the zone that holds the
given sector.

In order to make this loop as fast as possible, the zone->start field
of struct strip_zone has been renamed to zone_end, and it now stores
the beginning of the next zone in sectors. This allows to save one
addition in the loop.

Subsequent cleanup patches will remove the hash table structure.

b522adcde9 md: 'array_size' sysfs attribute
Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:

1/ size must be <= to the size returned by mddev->pers->size(mddev, 0, 0)
   a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
      if size is greater than the default size
   b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
      array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
   kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality

Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading ->array_sectors to <pers>_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.

159ec1fc06 md: use list_for_each_entry macro directly
The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.

But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.

In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

ccacc7d2cf md: raid0: make hash_spacing and preshift sector-based.
This patch renames the hash_spacing and preshift members of struct
raid0_private_data to spacing and sector_shift respectively and
changes the semantics as follows:

We always have spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. In case
sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32) we also have sector_shift = preshift + 1
while sector_shift = preshift = 0 otherwise.

Note that the values of nb_zone and zone are unaffected by these changes
because in the sector_div() preceeding the assignement of these two
variables both arguments double.

  stats show code paths.

c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

e7e72bf641 Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md
As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.

For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.

With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

26be34dc3a [PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linear
Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by
modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn.
md/raid did neither of these.  This patch add a congested_fn which simply
checks all component devices to see if they are congested.

5c4c33318d [PATCH] md: fix possible oops when starting a raid0 array
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.

29fc7e3e70 [PATCH] md: Assorted little md fixes
- version-1 superblock
  + The default_bitmap_offset is in sectors, not bytes.
  + the 'size' field in the superblock is in sectors, not KB
- raid0_run should return a negative number on error, not '1'
- raid10_read_balance should not return a valid 'disk' number if
     ->rdev turned out to be NULL
- kmem_cache_destroy doesn't like being passed a NULL.

2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
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.
