Since bio_io_error sets bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR,
and calls bio_endio, so we can use it directly.

And as mentioned by Shaohua, there are also two
places in raid5.c can use bio_io_error either.

We will support multipage bvec soon, so initialize bvec
table using the standardy way instead of writing the
talbe directly. Otherwise it won't work any more once
multipage bvec is enabled.

bio_add_page() won't fail for resync bio, and the page index for each
bio is same, so remove it.

More importantly the 'idx' of 'struct resync_pages' is initialized in
mempool allocator function, the current way is wrong since mempool is
only responsible for allocation, we can't use that for initialization.

<title>blk: replace bioset_create_nobvec() with a flags arg to bioset_create()</title>

<content type='text'>
"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().

To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().

Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

We need to test FailFast flag for replacement device here
since the set up for writing is for the replacement, so we
need fix it like:

- if (test_bit(FailFast, &amp;conf-&gt;mirrors[d].rdev-&gt;flags))
+ if (test_bit(FailFast, &amp;conf-&gt;mirrors[d].replacement-&gt;flags))

Since commit f90145f317ef ("md/raid10: add rcu protection
to rdev access in raid10_sync_request.") had added the rcu
protection for the part, so let's extend the range protected
by rcu and use rdev directly.

Fixes: 1919cbb ("md/raid10: add failfast handling for writes.")

If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock
with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently
in md_write_start() to complete the -&gt;make_request() call,
and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated
to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then
the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often
called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each
other.

We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend()
is happening, and -&gt;make_request() aborts if md_write_start()
aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the -&gt;active_io
count, and wait for mddev_suspend().

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
