Allocate both struct ppl_io_unit and its header_page from a shared
mempool to avoid a possible deadlock. Implement allocate and free
functions for the mempool, remove the second pool for allocating
header_page. The header_pages are now freed with their io_units, not
when the ppl bio completes. Also, use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC
for allocating ppl_io_unit because we can handle failed allocations and
there is no reason to utilize emergency reserves.

In case of read-modify-write, partial partity is the same as the result
of ops_run_prexor5(), so we can just copy sh->dev[pd_idx].page into
sh->ppl_page instead of calculating it again.

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resize_stripes() can be called after mddev_resume() when ppl is no
longer active.

Use a single no_mem_stripes list instead of per member device lists for
handling stripes that need retrying in case of failed io_unit
allocation. Because io_units are allocated from a memory pool shared
between all member disks, the no_mem_stripes list should be checked when
an io_unit for any member is freed. This fixes a deadlock that could
happen if there are stripes in more than one no_mem_stripes list.

The "need_cache_flush" variable is never set to false. When the
variable is true that means we print a warning message at the end of
the function.

Allow writing to 'consistency_policy' attribute when the array is
active. Add a new function 'change_consistency_policy' to the
md_personality operations structure to handle the change in the
personality code. Values "ppl" and "resync" are accepted and
turn PPL on and off respectively.
When enabling PPL its location and size should first be set using
'ppl_sector' and 'ppl_size' attributes and a valid PPL header should be
written at this location on each member device.
Enabling or disabling PPL is performed under a suspended array. The
raid5_reset_stripe_cache function frees the stripe cache and allocates
it again in order to allocate or free the ppl_pages for the stripes in
the stripe cache.

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.

Load the log from each disk when starting the array and recover if the
array is dirty.
The initial empty PPL is written by mdadm. When loading the log we
verify the header checksum and signature. For external metadata arrays
the signature is verified in userspace, so here we read it from the
header, verifying only if it matches on all disks, and use it later when
writing PPL.
In addition to the header checksum, each header entry also contains a
checksum of its partial parity data. If the header is valid, recovery is
performed for each entry until an invalid entry is found. If the array
is not degraded and recovery using PPL fully succeeds, there is no need
to resync the array because data and parity will be consistent, so in
this case resync will be disabled.
Due to compatibility with IMSM implementations on other systems, we
can't assume that the recovery data block size is always 4K. Writes
generated by MD raid5 don't have this issue, but when recovering PPL
written in other environments it is possible to have entries with
512-byte sector granularity. The recovery code takes this into account
and also the logical sector size of the underlying drives.

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.
