[PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specific
It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array
is read and consistancies are reported.
This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs
that a resync is being started. This understandably confuses/worries people.
Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a
check.
This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

[PATCH] md: define ->congested_fn for raid1, raid10, and multipath
raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through
bdi_*_congested, but should.
This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested'
status of all active members (with appropriate locking).
raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where
bdi_read_congested returns false. Then we could use the '&' branch rather
than the '|' branch. However that should would need some benchmarking first
to make sure it is actually a good idea.

[PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:
echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap
(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)
echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap
(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)
This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem situations. It

Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset in clone_bio(), and a
private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec() it is possible that the
filesystem and the first level target successfully get bios but the lower
level target doesn't because there is no more memory and the pool was drained

device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set for each device.
