When devices in a RAID array are not in-sync, they are supposed to be
reported as such in the status output as an 'a' character, which means
"alive, but not in-sync". But when the entire array is rebuilt 'A' is
being used, which is incorrect. This patch corrects this to 'a'.

Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it
is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies.
When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device
which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications
such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl. Userspace log devices
don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from
the list of dependencies.
This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to
respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be
registered via 'dm_get_device'. DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented.
This is backwards compatible. If the kernel and userspace log server
have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the
kernel and the device will be registered. If the kernel is new, but
the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device
information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration
as before. If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log
server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.
We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
* we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
* we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks
Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in
/sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .
The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

This is a fairly serious bug in RAID10.
When a RAID10 array is degraded and a hot-spare is activated, the
spare does not take up the empty slot, but rather replaces the first
working device.
This is likely to make the array non-functional. It would normally
be possible to recover the data, but that would need care and is not
guaranteed.
This bug was introduced in commit
2bb77736ae
which first appeared in 3.1.

In 3.0 we changed the way recovery_disabled was handle so that instead
of testing against zero, we test an mddev-> value against a conf->
value.
Two problems:
1/ one place in raid1 was missed and still sets to '1'.
2/ We didn't explicitly set the conf-> value at array creation
time.
It defaulted to '0' just like the mddev value does so they
could appear equal and thus disable recovery.
This did not affect normal 'md' as it calls bind_rdev_to_array
which changes the mddev value. However the dmraid interface
doesn't call this and so doesn't change ->recovery_disabled; so at
array start all recovery is incorrectly disabled.
So initialise the 'conf' value to one less that the mddev value, so
the will only be the same when explicitly set that way.

This bug was introduced in 415e72d034
which was in 2.6.36.
There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when
it is removed from the array. During this time we might still read
from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could
read stale data.
We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on
In_sync is sufficient. Since we started allowing reads from the early
part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too.
This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch
might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier.

If an incremental recovery was interrupted, a subsequent
re-add will result in a full recovery, even though an
incremental should be possible (seen with raid1).

When we add a device to an active array it can be meaningful to set
the 'insync' flag. This indicates that the device is in-sync with the
array except for locations recorded in the bitmap.
A bitmap-based recovery can then bring it completely in-sync.
Internally we move that flag to 'saved_raid_disk' but forgot to clear
In_sync like we do in add_new_disk.
So clear In_sync after moving its value to saved_raid_disk.

RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.
However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).
So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.

If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests
bypass the crypt queue and blocks of the underlying device are discarded.
For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal
ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes,
dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just
random noise instead of zeroes.
