All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

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'

If an array with 1.x metadata is assembled with the last disk missing,
md doesn't properly record the fact that the disk was missing.
This is unlikely to cause a real problem as the event count will be
different to the count on the missing disk so it won't be included in
the array. However it could still cause confusion.
So make sure we clear all the relevant slots, not just the early ones.

Now that we depend on md_update_sb to clear variable bits in
mddev->flags (rather than trying not to set them) it is important to
always call md_update_sb when appropriate.
md_check_recovery has this job but explicitly avoids it for ->external
metadata arrays. This is not longer appropraite, or needed.
However we do want to avoid taking the mddev lock if only
MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set as that is not cleared by md_update_sb for
external-metadata arrays.

Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA doesn't mandate any ordering
against other bio's. This patch relaxes ordering around flushes.
* A flush bio is no longer deferred to workqueue directly. It's
processed like other bio's but __split_and_process_bio() uses
md->flush_bio as the clone source. md->flush_bio is initialized to
empty flush during md initialization and shared for all flushes.
* As a flush bio now travels through the same execution path as other
bio's, there's no need for dedicated error handling path either. It
can use the same error handling path in dec_pending(). Dedicated
error handling removed along with md->flush_error.
* When dec_pending() detects that a flush has completed, it checks
whether the original bio has data. If so, the bio is queued to the
deferred list w/ REQ_FLUSH cleared; otherwise, it's completed.
* As flush sequencing is handled in the usual issue/completion path,
dm_wq_work() no longer needs to handle flushes differently. Now its
only responsibility is re-issuing deferred bio's the same way as
_dm_request() would. REQ_FLUSH handling logic including
process_flush() is dropped.
* There's no reason for queue_io() and dm_wq_work() write lock
dm->io_lock. queue_io() now only uses md->deferred_lock and
dm_wq_work() read locks dm->io_lock.
* bio's no longer need to be queued on the deferred list while a flush
is in progress making DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD unncessary. Drop it.
This avoids stalling the device during flushes and simplifies the
implementation.

This patch converts request-based dm to support the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
The original request-based flush implementation depended on
request_queue blocking other requests while a barrier sequence is in
progress, which is no longer true for the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
In general, request-based dm doesn't have infrastructure for cloning
one source request to multiple targets, but the original flush
implementation had a special mostly independent path which can issue
flushes to multiple targets and sequence them. However, the
capability isn't currently in use and adds a lot of complexity.
Moreoever, it's unlikely to be useful in its current form as it
doesn't make sense to be able to send out flushes to multiple targets
when write requests can't be.
This patch rips out special flush code path and deals handles
REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests the same way as other requests. The only
special treatment is that REQ_FLUSH requests use the block address 0
when finding target, which is enough for now.
* added BUG_ON(!dm_target_is_valid(ti)) in dm_request_fn() as

This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of
now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.
* -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.
* Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces
one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.
* __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
` length.
* It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
with REQ_FLUSH tests.
* Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.
* Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely
enough to be marked with unlikely().
* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
capability.
* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()
resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request
based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.

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.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is used for two different purposes and this leads to
confusion.
One of the purposes is largely mirrored by MD_CHANGE_PENDING which is
not used for anything else, so have MD_CHANGE_PENDING take over that
purpose fully.
The two purposes are:
1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a
clean/dirty transition.
2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending
(something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the
flag) that the transition is OK.
The first purpose remains wit MD_CHANGE_CLEAN, the second is moved
fully to MD_CHANGE_PENDING.
This means that various places which conditionally set or cleared
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN no longer need to be conditional.

If this bit is cleared in md_update_sb() the kernel will allow writes to the
array if userspace triggers md_allow_write(), e.g. through stripe_cache_size,
when mdmon is not active. When mdmon is active the array transitions to
active-idle bypassing write-pending, setting up a race for mdmon to set the
array clean before a write arrives.

The update of ->recovery_offset in sync_sbs is appropriate even then external
metadata is in use. However sync_sbs is only called when native
metadata is used.
So move that update in to the top of md_update_sb (which is the only
caller of sync_sbs) before the test on ->external.
This moves the update out of ->write_lock protection, but those fields
only need ->reconfig_mutex protection which they still have.
Also move the test on ->persistent up to where ->external is set as
for metadata update purposes they are the same.
Clear MD_CHANGE_DEVS and MD_CHANGE_CLEAN as they can only be confusing
if ->external is set or ->persistent isn't.
Finally move the update of ->utime down as it is only relevent (like
the ->events update) for native metadata.

Enable discard support in the DM multipath target.
This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the
block layer's request stacking driver methods.
Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger
path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the
barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the
discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing
discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM

Implement merge method for the snapshot origin to improve read
performance.
Without merge method, dm asks the upper layers to submit smallest possible
bios --- one page. Submitting such small bios impacts performance negatively
when reading or writing the origin device.
Without this patch, CPU consumption when reading the origin on lvm on md-raid0
was 6 to 12%, with this patch, it drops to 1 to 4%.
Note: in my testing, it actually degraded performance in some settings, I
traced it to Maxtor disks having problems with > 512-sector requests.
Reducing the number of sectors to /sys/block/sd*/queue/max_sectors_kb to
256 fixed the read performance. I think we don't have to care about weird
disks that actually degrade performance because of large requests being
sent to them.

Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized
request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM
devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree
or 'scheduler' other than "none").
In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full
request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore
a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs
attributes exist.
First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device
(needed for both bio and request-based DM).
Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known
that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load
sequence.
Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().
The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to
md->type, during table_load().
A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type.
But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time
(because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore
any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of
establishing md->type.

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.
This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)
Allowed md->type transitions:
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED
We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.
Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

When processing barriers, skip the second flush if processing the bio
failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. This can happen with discard+barrier requests.
If the device doesn't support discard, there would be two useless
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. The first dm_flush cannot be so easily
optimized out, so we leave it there.
Previously, -EOPNOTSUPP could be received in dec_pending only with empty
barriers and we ignored that error, assuming the device not supporting
cache flushes has cache always consistent. With the addition of discard
barriers, this -EOPNOTSUPP can also be generated by discards and we
must record it in md->barrier_error for process_barrier.

This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.
By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2
Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
CPU0 CPU1
=================================================================
<<INTERRUPT>>
blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
blk_update_request(clone_rq)
bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
blk_update_request(orig_rq)
bio_endio(orig_bio)
<<I/O completed>>
dm_blk_close()
dev_remove()
dm_put(md)
<<Free md>>
blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
....
dm_end_request(clone_rq)
free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
rq_completed(md)
So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.
To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
dm_create(): create a mapped_device
dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.
dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.
For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

Move the deletion of sysfs attributes from reconfig_mutex to
open_mutex didn't really help as a process can try to take
open_mutex while holding reconfig_mutex, so the same deadlock can
happen, just requiring one more process to be involved in the chain.
I looks like I cannot easily use locking to wait for the sysfs
deletion to complete, so don't.
The only things that we cannot do while the deletions are still
pending is other things which can change the sysfs namespace: run,
takeover, stop. Each of these can fail with -EBUSY.
So set a flag while doing a sysfs deletion, and fail run, takeover,
stop if that flag is set.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection

A bitmap is stored as one page per 2048 bits.
If none of the bits are set, the page is not allocated.
When bitmap_get_counter finds that a page isn't allocate,
it just reports that one bit work of space isn't flagged,
rather than reporting that 2048 bits worth of space are
unflagged.
This can cause searches for flagged bits (e.g. bitmap_close_sync)
to do more work than is really necessary.
So change bitmap_get_counter (when creating) to report a number of
blocks that more accurately reports the range of the device for which
no counter currently exists.

When MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is set we might block in md_write_start.
So we should only set it when fairly sure that something will clear

There are two places where it is set so as to encourage a metadata

be done if the internal metadata update mechanisms are in use, which

There are few situations where it would make any sense to add a spare
when reducing the number of devices in an array, but it is
conceivable: A 6 drive RAID6 with two missing devices could be
reshaped to a 5 drive RAID6, and a spare could become available
just in time for the reshape, but not early enough to have been
recovered first. 'freezing' recovery can make this easy to
do without any races.
However doing such a thing is a bad idea. md will not record the
partially-recovered state of the 'spare' and when the reshape
finished it will think that the spare is still spare.
Easiest way to avoid this confusion is to simply disallow it.

As the comment says, the tail of this loop only applies to devices
that are not fully in sync, so if In_sync was set, we should avoid
the rest of the loop.
This bug will hardly ever cause an actual problem. The worst it
can do is allow an array to be assembled that is dirty and degraded,
which is not generally a good idea (without warning the sysadmin
first).
This will only happen if the array is RAID4 or a RAID5/6 in an
intermediate state during a reshape and so has one drive that is
all 'parity' - no data - while some other device has failed.
This is certainly possible, but not at all common.

During a recovery of reshape the early part of some devices might be
in-sync while the later parts are not.
We we know we are looking at an early part it is good to treat that
part as in-sync for stripe calculations.
This is particularly important for a reshape which suffers device
failure. Treating the data as in-sync can mean the difference between
data-safety and data-loss.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When we are reshaping an array, the device failure combinations
that cause us to decide that the array as failed are more subtle.
In particular, any 'spare' will be fully in-sync in the section
of the array that has already been reshaped, thus failures that
affect only that section are less critical.
So encode this subtlety in a new function and call it as appropriate.
The case that showed this problem was a 4 drive RAID5 to 8 drive RAID6
conversion where the last two devices failed.
This resulted in:
good good good good incomplete good good failed failed
while converting a 5-drive RAID6 to 8 drive RAID5
The incomplete device causes the whole array to look bad,
bad as it was actually good for the section that had been
converted to 8-drives, all the data was actually safe.

When an array is reshaped to have fewer devices, the reshape proceeds
from the end of the devices to the beginning.
If a device happens to be non-In_sync (which is possible but rare)
we would normally update the ->recovery_offset as the reshape
progresses. However that would be wrong as the recover_offset records
that the early part of the device is in_sync, while in fact it would
only be the later part that is in_sync, and in any case the offset
number would be measured from the wrong end of the device.
Relatedly, if after a reshape a spare is discovered to not be
recoverred all the way to the end, not allow spare_active
to incorporate it in the array.
This becomes relevant in the following sample scenario:
A 4 drive RAID5 is converted to a 6 drive RAID6 in a combined
operation.
The RAID5->RAID6 conversion will cause a 5 drive to be included as a
spare, then the 5drive -> 6drive reshape will effectively rebuild that
spare as it progresses. The 6th drive is treated as in_sync the whole
time as there is never any case that we might consider reading from
it, but must not because there is no valid data.
If we interrupt this reshape part-way through and reverse it to return
to a 5-drive RAID6 (or event a 4-drive RAID5), we don't want to update
the recovery_offset - as that would be wrong - and we don't want to
include that spare as active in the 5-drive RAID6 when the reversed
reshape completed and it will be mostly out-of-sync still.

The entries in the stripe_cache maintained by raid5 are enlarged
when we increased the number of devices in the array, but not
shrunk when we reduce the number of devices.
So if entries are added after reducing the number of devices, we
much ensure to initialise the whole entry, not just the part that
is currently relevant. Otherwise if we enlarge the array again,
we will reference uninitialised values.
As grow_buffers/shrink_buffer now want to use a count that is stored
explicity in the raid_conf, they should get it from there rather than
being passed it as a parameter.

Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged,
possibly causing one at the end to become redundant.
However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber
all devices (except 0).
This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the
new personality takes over. However this is too late as the common
code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if
they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high.
Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is
still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause
confusion.
So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate
the new raid_disk number.
Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered,
and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time
when the array is suspend.
It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be
updated correctly.

Commit b821eaa572 broke partition
detection for md arrays.
The logic was almost right. However if revalidate_disk is called
when the device is not yet open, bdev->bd_disk won't be set, so the
flush_disk() Call will not set bd_invalidated.
So when md_open is called we still need to ensure that
->bd_invalidated gets set. This is easily done with a call to
check_disk_size_change in the place where the offending commit removed
check_disk_change. At the important times, the size will have changed
from 0 to non-zero, so check_disk_size_change will set bd_invalidated.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

When updating the event count for a simple clean <-> dirty transition,
we try to avoid updating the spares so they can safely spin-down.
As the event_counts across an array must be +/- 1, this means
decrementing the event_count on a dirty->clean transition.
This is not always safe and we have to avoid the unsafe time.
We current do this with a misguided idea about it being safe or
not depending on whether the event_count is odd or even. This
approach only works reliably in a few common instances, but easily
falls down.
So instead, simply keep internal state concerning whether it is safe
or not, and always assume it is not safe when an array is first
assembled.

Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.
However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:
This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.
So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.

Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption. This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).

When changing levels, we may need to add or remove attributes. When

We need to delay that deletion as deleting them while holding

We currently delay them until the array is completely destroyed.
However it is possible to deactivate and then reactivate the array.
It is also possible to need to remove sysfs files when changing level,

So we need to delete these files more promptly: as soon as

We need to ensure this happens before do_md_run can restart the array,
