Previously, mddev_put() had a couple different paths for freeing a
mddev, due to the fact that the kobject wasn't initialized when the
mddev was first allocated. If we move the kobject_init() to when it's
first allocated and just use kobject_add() later, we can clean all this
up.

This also removes a hack in mddev_put() to avoid freeing biosets under a
spinlock, which involved copying biosets on the stack after the reset
bioset_init() changes.

There is a lock contention when there are many processes which send flush bios
to md device. eg. Create many lvs on one raid device and mkfs.xfs on each lv.

Now it just can handle flush request sequentially. It needs to wait mddev-&gt;flush_bio
to be NULL, otherwise get mddev-&gt;lock.

This patch remove mddev-&gt;flush_bio and handle flush bio asynchronously.
I did a test with command dbench -s 128 -t 300. This is the test result:

The test is done on raid1 disk with two rotational disks

V5: V4 is more complicated than the version with memory pool. So revert to the memory pool
version

V4: use address of fbio to do hash to choose free flush info.
V3:
Shaohua suggests mempool is overkill. In v3 it allocs memory during creating raid device
and uses a simple bitmap to record which resource is free.

Fix a bug from v2. It should set flush_pending to 1 at first.

V2:
Neil pointed out two problems. One is counting error problem and another is return value
when allocat memory fails.
1. counting error problem
This isn't safe.  It is only safe to call rdev_dec_pending() on rdevs
that you previously called
                          atomic_inc(&amp;rdev-&gt;nr_pending);
If an rdev was added to the list between the start and end of the flush,
this will do something bad.

Now it doesn't use bio_chain. It uses specified call back function for each
flush bio.
2. Returned on IO error when kmalloc fails is wrong.
I use mempool suggested by Neil in V2
3. Fixed some places pointed by Guoqing

For raid6, when two disk of the array are offline, two spare disks can
be added into the array. Before spare disks recovery completing,
system reboot and mdadm thinks it is ok to restart the degraded
array by md_ioctl(). Since disks in raid6 is not only_parity(),
raid5_run() will abort, when there is no PPL feature or not setting
'start_dirty_degraded' parameter. Therefore, mddev-&gt;pers is NULL.

But, mddev-&gt;raid_disks has been set and it will not be cleared when
raid5_run abort. md_ioctl() can execute cmd 'HOT_REMOVE_DISK' to
remove a disk by mdadm, which will cause NULL pointer dereference
in remove_and_add_spares() finally.

<title>md: fix two problems with setting the "re-add" device state.</title>

<id>011abdc9df559ec75779bb7c53a744c69b2a94c6</id>
<content type='text'>
If "re-add" is written to the "state" file for a device
which is faulty, this has an effect similar to removing
and re-adding the device.  It should take up the
same slot in the array that it previously had, and
an accelerated (e.g. bitmap-based) rebuild should happen.

The slot that "it previously had" is determined by
rdev-&gt;saved_raid_disk.
However this is not set when a device fails (only when a device
is added), and it is cleared when resync completes.
This means that "re-add" will normally work once, but may not work a
second time.

This patch includes two fixes.
1/ when a device fails, record the -&gt;raid_disk value in
    -&gt;saved_raid_disk before clearing -&gt;raid_disk
2/ when "re-add" is written to a device for which
    -&gt;saved_raid_disk is not set, fail.

I think this is suitable for stable as it can
cause re-adding a device to be forced to do a full
resync which takes a lot longer and so puts data at
more risk.
