+ * on a cached buffer, and plus one if the stripe is undergoing stripe

+ *
+ * Stripe operations are performed outside the stripe lock,
+ * the stripe operations are:
+ * -copying data between the stripe cache and user application buffers
+ * -computing blocks to save a disk access, or to recover a missing block
+ * -updating the parity on a write operation (reconstruct write and
+ * read-modify-write)
+ * -checking parity correctness
+ * -running i/o to disk
+ * These operations are carried out by raid5_run_ops which uses the async_tx
+ * api to (optionally) offload operations to dedicated hardware engines.
+ * When requesting an operation handle_stripe sets the pending bit for the
+ * operation and increments the count. raid5_run_ops is then run whenever
+ * the count is non-zero.
+ * There are some critical dependencies between the operations that prevent some
+ * from being requested while another is in flight.
+ * 1/ Parity check operations destroy the in cache version of the parity block,
+ * so we prevent parity dependent operations like writes and compute_blocks
+ * from starting while a check is in progress. Some dma engines can perform
+ * the check without damaging the parity block, in these cases the parity
+ * block is re-marked up to date (assuming the check was successful) and is
+ * not re-read from disk.
+ * 2/ When a write operation is requested we immediately lock the affected
+ * blocks, and mark them as not up to date. This causes new read requests
+ * to be held off, as well as parity checks and compute block operations.
+ * 3/ Once a compute block operation has been requested handle_stripe treats
+ * that block as if it is up to date. raid5_run_ops guaruntees that any
+ * operation that is dependent on the compute block result is initiated after
+ * the compute block completes.
