commit 1217e1d1999ed6c9c1e1b1acae0a74ab70464ae2 upstream.

mddev-&gt;curr_resync usually records where the current resync is up to,
but during the starting phase it has some "magic" values.

 1 - means that the array is trying to start a resync, but has yielded
     to another array which shares physical devices, and also needs to
     start a resync
 2 - means the array is trying to start resync, but has found another
     array which shares physical devices and has already started resync.

 3 - means that resync has commensed, but it is possible that nothing
     has actually been resynced yet.

It is important that this value not be visible to user-space and
particularly that it doesn't get written to the metadata, as the
resync or recovery checkpoint.  In part, this is because it may be
slightly higher than the correct value, though this is very rare.
In part, because it is not a multiple of 4K, and some devices only
support 4K aligned accesses.

There are two places where this value is propagates into either
-&gt;curr_resync_completed or -&gt;recovery_cp or -&gt;recovery_offset.
These currently avoid the propagation of values 1 and 3, but will
allow 3 to leak through.

Change them to only propagate the value if it is &gt; 3.

As this can cause an array to fail, the patch is suitable for -stable.

Currently, the code sets MD_JOURNAL_CLEAN when the array has
MD_FEATURE_JOURNAL and the recovery_cp is MaxSector. The array
will be MD_JOURNAL_CLEAN even if the journal device is missing.

With this patch, the MD_JOURNAL_CLEAN is only set when the journal
device presents.

This fixes a long-standing bug that caused a flood of messages like:
"md: delaying data-check of md1 until md2 has finished (they share one
or more physical units)"

It can be reproduced like this:
1. Create at least 3 raid1 arrays on a pair of disks, each on different
   partitions.
2. Request a sync operation like 'check' or 'repair' on 2 arrays by
   writing to their md/sync_action attribute files. One operation should
   start and one should be delayed and a message like the above will be
   printed.
3. Issue a write to the third array. Each write will cause 2 copies of
   the message to be printed.

This happens when wake_up(&amp;resync_wait) is called, usually by
md_check_recovery(). Then the delayed sync thread again prints the
message and is put to sleep. This patch adds a check in md_do_sync() to
prevent printing this message more than once for the same pair of
devices.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.
