For the raid456 with writeback cache, when journal device failed during
normal operation, it is still possible to persist all data, as all
pending data is still in stripe cache. However, it is necessary to handle
journal failure gracefully.
During journal failures, the following logic handles the graceful shutdown
of journal:
1. raid5_error() marks the device as Faulty and schedules async work
log->disable_writeback_work;
2. In disable_writeback_work (r5c_disable_writeback_async), the mddev is
suspended, set to write through, and then resumed. mddev_suspend()
flushes all cached stripes;
3. All cached stripes need to be flushed carefully to the RAID array.
This patch fixes issues within the process above:
1. In r5c_update_on_rdev_error() schedule disable_writeback_work for
journal failures;
2. In r5c_disable_writeback_async(), wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING,
since raid5_error() updates superblock.
3. In handle_stripe(), allow stripes with data in journal (s.injournal > 0)
to make progress during log_failed;
4. In delay_towrite(), if log failed only process data in the cache (skip
new writes in dev->towrite);
5. In __get_priority_stripe(), process loprio_list during journal device
failures.
6. In raid5_remove_disk(), wait for all cached stripes are flushed before
calling log_exit().

Use resize_stripes() instead of raid5_reset_stripe_cache() to allocate
or free sh->ppl_page at runtime for all stripes in the stripe cache.
raid5_reset_stripe_cache() required suspending the mddev and could
deadlock because of GFP_KERNEL allocations.
Move the 'newsize' check to check_reshape() to allow reallocating the
stripes with the same number of disks. Allocate sh->ppl_page in
alloc_stripe() instead of grow_buffers(). Pass 'struct r5conf *conf' as
a parameter to alloc_stripe() because it is needed to check whether to
allocate ppl_page. Add free_stripe() and use it to free stripes rather
than directly call kmem_cache_free(). Also free sh->ppl_page in
free_stripe().
Set MD_HAS_PPL at the end of ppl_init_log() instead of explicitly
setting it in advance and add another parameter to log_init() to allow
calling ppl_init_log() without the bit set. Don't try to calculate
partial parity or add a stripe to log if it does not have ppl_page set.
Enabling ppl can now be performed without suspending the mddev, because
the log won't be used until new stripes are allocated with ppl_page.
Calling mddev_suspend/resume is still necessary when disabling ppl,
because we want all stripes to finish before stopping the log, but
resize_stripes() can be called after mddev_resume() when ppl is no
longer active.

We currently gather bios that need to be returned into a bio_list
and call bio_endio() on them all together.
The original reason for this was to avoid making the calls while
holding a spinlock.
Locking has changed a lot since then, and that reason is no longer
valid.
So discard return_io() and various return_bi lists, and just call
bio_endio() directly as needed.

Add a function to modify the log by removing an rdev when a drive fails
or adding when a spare/replacement is activated as a raid member.
Removing a disk just clears the child log rdev pointer. No new stripes
will be accepted for this child log in ppl_write_stripe() and running io
units will be processed without writing PPL to the device.
Adding a disk sets the child log rdev pointer and writes an empty PPL
header.

Implement the calculation of partial parity for a stripe and PPL write
logging functionality. The description of PPL is added to the
documentation. More details can be found in the comments in raid5-ppl.c.
Attach a page for holding the partial parity data to stripe_head.
Allocate it only if mddev has the MD_HAS_PPL flag set.
Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is
calculated as follows:
- reconstruct-write case:
xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe
- read-modify-write case:
xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe
Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.
Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.
Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.
Warn about using PPL with enabled disk volatile write-back cache for
now. It can be removed once disk cache flushing before writing PPL is
implemented.

Move raid5-cache declarations from raid5.h to raid5-log.h, add inline
wrappers for functions which will be shared with ppl and use them in
raid5 core instead of direct calls to raid5-cache.
Remove unused parameter from r5c_cache_data(), move two duplicated
pr_debug() calls to r5l_init_log().
