This patch just adds a 'failfast' per-device flag which can be stored
in v0.90 or v1.x metadata.
The flag is not used yet but the intent is that it can be used for
mirrored (raid1/raid10) arrays where low latency is more important
than keeping all devices on-line.

Setting the flag for a device effectively gives permission for that
device to be marked as Faulty and excluded from the array on the first
error.  The underlying driver will be directed not to retry requests
that result in failures.  There is a proviso that the device must not
be marked faulty if that would cause the array as a whole to fail, it
may only be marked Faulty if the array remains functional, but is
degraded.

Failures on read requests will cause the device to be marked
as Faulty immediately so that further reads will avoid that
device.  No attempt will be made to correct read errors by
over-writing with the correct data.

It is expected that if transient errors, such as cable unplug, are
possible, then something in user-space will revalidate failed
devices and re-add them when they appear to be working again.

Recovery of write-back cache has different logic to write-through only
cache. Specifically, for write-back cache, the recovery need to scan
through all active journal entries before flushing data out. Therefore,
large portion of the recovery logic is rewritten here.

To make the diffs cleaner, we split the rewrite as follows:

1. In this patch, we:
      - add new data to r5l_recovery_ctx
      - add new functions to recovery write-back cache
   The new functions are not used in this patch, so this patch does not
   change the behavior of recovery.

2. In next patch, we:
      - modify main recovery procedure r5l_recovery_log() to call new
        functions
      - remove old functions

With cache feature, there are 2 different scenarios of recovery:
1. Data-Parity stripe: a stripe with complete parity in journal.
2. Data-Only stripe: a stripe with only data in journal (or partial
   parity).

The code differentiate Data-Parity stripe from Data-Only stripe with
flag STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.

For Data-Parity stripes, we use the same procedure as raid5 journal,
where all the data and parity are replayed to the RAID devices.

For Data-Only strips, we need to finish complete calculate parity and
finish the full reconstruct write or RMW write. For simplicity, in
the recovery, we load the stripe to stripe cache. Once the array is
started, the stripe cache state machine will handle these stripes
through normal write path.

r5c_recovery_flush_log contains the main procedure of recovery. The
recovery code first scans through the journal and loads data to
stripe cache. The code keeps tracks of all these stripes in a list
(use sh->lru and ctx->cached_list), stripes in the list are
organized in the order of its first appearance on the journal.
During the scan, the recovery code assesses each stripe as
Data-Parity or Data-Only.

During scan, the array may run out of stripe cache. In these cases,
the recovery code will also call raid5_set_cache_size to increase
stripe cache size. If the array still runs out of stripe cache
because there isn't enough memory, the array will not assemble.

At the end of scan, the recovery code replays all Data-Parity
stripes, and sets proper states for Data-Only stripes. The recovery
code also increases seq number by 10 and rewrites all Data-Only
stripes to journal. This is to avoid confusion after repeated
crashes. More details is explained in raid5-cache.c before
r5c_recovery_rewrite_data_only_stripes().

There are two limited resources, stripe cache and journal disk space.
For better performance, we priotize reclaim of full stripe writes.
To free up more journal space, we free earliest data on the journal.

In current implementation, reclaim happens when:
1. Periodically (every R5C_RECLAIM_WAKEUP_INTERVAL, 30 seconds) reclaim
   if there is no reclaim in the past 5 seconds.
2. when there are R5C_FULL_STRIPE_FLUSH_BATCH (256) cached full stripes,
   or cached stripes is enough for a full stripe (chunk size / 4k)
   (r5c_check_cached_full_stripe)
3. when there is pressure on stripe cache (r5c_check_stripe_cache_usage)
4. when there is pressure on journal space (r5l_write_stripe, r5c_cache_data)

r5c_do_reclaim() contains new logic of reclaim.

For stripe cache:

When stripe cache pressure is high (more than 3/4 stripes are cached,
or there is empty inactive lists), flush all full stripe. If fewer
than R5C_RECLAIM_STRIPE_GROUP (NR_STRIPE_HASH_LOCKS * 2) full stripes
are flushed, flush some paritial stripes. When stripe cache pressure
is moderate (1/2 to 3/4 of stripes are cached), flush all full stripes.

For log space:

To avoid deadlock due to log space, we need to reserve enough space
to flush cached data. The size of required log space depends on total
number of cached stripes (stripe_in_journal_count). In current
implementation, the writing-out phase automatically include pending
data writes with parity writes (similar to write through case).
Therefore, we need up to (conf->raid_disks + 1) pages for each cached
stripe (1 page for meta data, raid_disks pages for all data and
parity). r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() calculates log space
required to flush cache. In the following, we refer to the space
calculated by r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() as
reclaim_required_space.

Two flags are added to r5conf->cache_state: R5C_LOG_TIGHT and
R5C_LOG_CRITICAL. R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set when free space on the log
device is less than 3x of reclaim_required_space. R5C_LOG_CRITICAL
is set when free space on the log device is less than 2x of
reclaim_required_space.

r5c_cache keeps all data in cache (not fully committed to RAID) in
a list (stripe_in_journal_list). These stripes are in the order of their
first appearance on the journal. So the log tail (last_checkpoint)
should point to the journal_start of the first item in the list.

When R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set, r5l_reclaim_thread starts flushing out
stripes at the head of stripe_in_journal. When R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is
set, the state machine only writes data that are already in the
log device (in stripe_in_journal_list).

As described in previous patch, write back cache operates in two
phases: caching and writing-out. The caching phase works as:
1. write data to journal
   (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying, r5c_cache_data)
2. call bio_endio
   (r5c_handle_data_cached, r5c_return_dev_pending_writes).

Then the writing-out phase is as:
1. Mark the stripe as write-out (r5c_make_stripe_write_out)
2. Calcualte parity (reconstruct or RMW)
3. Write parity (and maybe some other data) to journal device
4. Write data and parity to RAID disks

This patch implements caching phase. The cache is integrated with
stripe cache of raid456. It leverages code of r5l_log to write
data to journal device.

Writing-out phase of the cache is implemented in the next patch.

With r5cache, write operation does not wait for parity calculation
and write out, so the write latency is lower (1 write to journal
device vs. read and then write to raid disks). Also, r5cache will
reduce RAID overhead (multipile IO due to read-modify-write of
parity) and provide more opportunities of full stripe writes.

This patch adds 2 flags to stripe_head.state:
 - STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE,
 - STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE,

Instead of inactive_list, stripes with cached data are tracked in
r5conf->r5c_full_stripe_list and r5conf->r5c_partial_stripe_list.
STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE are flags for
stripes in these lists. Note: stripes in r5c_full/partial_stripe_list
are not considered as "active".

For RMW, the code allocates an extra page for each data block
being updated.  This is stored in r5dev->orig_page and the old data
is read into it.  Then the prexor calculation subtracts ->orig_page
from the parity block, and the reconstruct calculation adds the
->page data back into the parity block.

r5cache naturally excludes SkipCopy. When the array has write back
cache, async_copy_data() will not skip copy.

There are some known limitations of the cache implementation:

1. Write cache only covers full page writes (R5_OVERWRITE). Writes
   of smaller granularity are write through.
2. Only one log io (sh->log_io) for each stripe at anytime. Later
   writes for the same stripe have to wait. This can be improved by
   moving log_io to r5dev.
3. With writeback cache, read path must enter state machine, which
   is a significant bottleneck for some workloads.
4. There is no per stripe checkpoint (with r5l_payload_flush) in
   the log, so recovery code has to replay more than necessary data
   (sometimes all the log from last_checkpoint). This reduces
   availability of the array.

This patch adds state machine for raid5-cache. With log device, the
raid456 array could operate in two different modes (r5c_journal_mode):
  - write-back (R5C_MODE_WRITE_BACK)
  - write-through (R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH)

Existing code of raid5-cache only has write-through mode. For write-back
cache, it is necessary to extend the state machine.

With write-back cache, every stripe could operate in two different
phases:
  - caching
  - writing-out

In caching phase, the stripe handles writes as:
  - write to journal
  - return IO

In writing-out phase, the stripe behaviors as a stripe in write through
mode R5C_MODE_WRITE_THROUGH.

STRIPE_R5C_CACHING is added to sh->state to differentiate caching and
writing-out phase.

Please note: this is a "no-op" patch for raid5-cache write-through
mode.

The following detailed explanation is copied from the raid5-cache.c:

/*
 * raid5 cache state machine
 *
 * With rhe RAID cache, each stripe works in two phases:
 *      - caching phase
 *      - writing-out phase
 *
 * These two phases are controlled by bit STRIPE_R5C_CACHING:
 *   if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 0, the stripe is in writing-out phase
 *   if STRIPE_R5C_CACHING == 1, the stripe is in caching phase
 *
 * When there is no journal, or the journal is in write-through mode,
 * the stripe is always in writing-out phase.
 *
 * For write-back journal, the stripe is sent to caching phase on write
 * (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying). r5c_make_stripe_write_out() kicks off
 * the write-out phase by clearing STRIPE_R5C_CACHING.
 *
 * Stripes in caching phase do not write the raid disks. Instead, all
 * writes are committed from the log device. Therefore, a stripe in
 * caching phase handles writes as:
 *      - write to log device
 *      - return IO
 *
 * Stripes in writing-out phase handle writes as:
 *      - calculate parity
 *      - write pending data and parity to journal
 *      - write data and parity to raid disks
 *      - return IO for pending writes

This could justifiably be seen as a new mapping for the originial bio,

While performing a resync/recovery, raid1 divides the
array space into three regions:
 - before the resync
 - at or shortly after the resync point
 - much further ahead of the resync point.

Write requests to the first or third do not need to wait.  Write
requests to the middle region do need to wait if resync requests are
pending.

If there are any active write requests in the middle region, resync
will wait for them.

Due to an accounting error, there is a small range of addresses,
between conf->next_resync and conf->start_next_window, where write
requests will *not* be blocked, but *will* be counted in the middle
region.  This can effectively block resync indefinitely if filesystem
writes happen repeatedly to this region.

As ->next_window_requests is incremented when the sector is after
  conf->start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
the same boundary should be used for determining when write requests
should wait.

When writing to an array with a bitmap enabled, the writes are grouped
in batches which are preceded by an update to the bitmap.

It is quite likely if that a drive develops a problem which is not
media related, that the bitmap write will be the first to report an
error and cause the device to be marked faulty (as the bitmap write is
at the start of a batch).

In this case, there is point submiting the subsequent writes to the
failed device - that just wastes times.

So re-check the Faulty state of a device before submitting a
delayed write.

This requires that we keep the 'rdev', rather than the 'bdev' in the
bio, then swap in the bdev just before final submission.
