This makes it possible to just resync a small part of an array.
e.g. if a drive reports that it has questionable sectors,
a 'repair' of just the region covering those sectors will
cause them to be read and, if there is an error, re-written
with correct data.

When an array is degraded, bits in the write-intent bitmap are not
cleared, so that if the missing device is re-added, it can be synced
by only updated those parts of the device that have changed since
it was removed.
The enable this a 'events_cleared' value is stored. It is the event
counter for the array the last time that any bits were cleared.
Sometimes - if a device disappears from an array while it is 'clean' -
the events_cleared value gets updated incorrectly (there are subtle
ordering issues between updateing events in the main metadata and the
bitmap metadata) resulting in the missing device appearing to require
a full resync when it is re-added.
With this patch, we update events_cleared precisely when we are about
to clear a bit in the bitmap. We record events_cleared when we clear
the bit internally, and copy that to the superblock which is written
out before the bit on storage. This makes it more "obviously correct".
We also need to update events_cleared when the event_count is going
backwards (as happens on a dirty->clean transition of a non-degraded
array).
Thanks to Mike Snitzer for identifying this problem and testing early
"fixes".

Turn calls to bi->bi_end_io() into bio_endio(). Apparently bio_endio does
exactly the same error processing as is hardcoded at these places.
bio_endio() avoids recursion (or will soon), so it should be used.

md_probe can fail (e.g. alloc_disk could fail) without
returning an error (as it alway returns NULL).
So when we call mddev_find immediately afterwards, we need
to check that md_probe actually succeeded. This means checking
that mdev->gendisk is non-NULL.

We shouldn't acknowledge that a stripe has been expanded (When
reshaping a raid5 by adding a device) until the moved data has
actually been written out. However we are currently
acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR
is complete and before the write.
So track in s.locked whether there are pending writes, and don't
call md_done_sync yet if there are.
Note: we all set R5_LOCKED on devices which are are about to
read from. This probably isn't technically necessary, but is
usually done when writing a block, and justifies the use of
s.locked here.
This bug can lead to a crash if an array is stopped while an reshape
is in progress.

If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.
Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used. In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.
This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.
So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.
If you might have an array like that, issueing
echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action
will make sure recovery completes properly.

This patch fixes bz 450641.
This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

The ioapic acknowledge path translates interrupt vectors to irqs. It
currently uses a first match algorithm, stopping when it finds the first
redirection table entry containing the vector. That fails however if the
guest changes the irq to a different line, leaving the old redirection table
entry in place (though masked). Result is interrupts not making it to the
guest.
Fix by always scanning the entire redirection table.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.

kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault
handling path.

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.
For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().
If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.
Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This
has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

There is a race in the COW logic. It contains a shortcut to avoid the
COW and reuse the page if we have the sole reference on the page,
however it is possible to have two racing do_wp_page()ers with one
causing the other to mistakenly believe it is safe to take the shortcut
when it is not. This could lead to data corruption.
Process 1 and process2 each have a wp pte of the same anon page (ie.
one forked the other). The page's mapcount is 2. Then they both
attempt to write to it around the same time...
proc1 proc2 thr1 proc2 thr2
CPU0 CPU1 CPU3
do_wp_page() do_wp_page()
trylock_page()
can_share_swap_page()
load page mapcount (==2)
reuse = 0
pte unlock
copy page to new_page
pte lock
page_remove_rmap(page);
trylock_page()
can_share_swap_page()
load page mapcount (==1)
reuse = 1
ptep_set_access_flags (allow W)
write private key into page
read from page
ptep_clear_flush()
set_pte_at(pte of new_page)
Fix this by moving the page_remove_rmap of the old page after the pte
clear and flush. Potentially the entire branch could be moved down
here, but in order to stay consistent, I won't (should probably move all
the *_mm_counter stuff with one patch).

Commit 89f5b7da2a6bad2e84670422ab8192382a5aeb9f ("Reinstate ZERO_PAGE
optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP") broke vmware, as
reported by Jeff Chua:
"This broke vmware 6.0.4.
Jun 22 14:53:03.845: vmx| NOT_IMPLEMENTED
/build/mts/release/bora-93057/bora/vmx/main/vmmonPosix.c:774"
and the reason seems to be that there's an old bug in how we handle do
FOLL_ANON on VM_SHARED areas in get_user_pages(), but since it only
triggered if the whole page table was missing, nobody had apparently hit
it before.
The recent changes to 'follow_page()' made the FOLL_ANON logic trigger
not just for whole missing page tables, but for individual pages as
well, and exposed this problem.
This fixes it by making the test for when FOLL_ANON is used more
careful, and also makes the code easier to read and understand by moving
the logic to a separate inline function.
