2012-03-19md: add proper merge_bvec handling to RAID0 and Linear.NeilBrown
These personalities currently set a max request size of one page when any member device has a merge_bvec_fn because they don't bother to call that function. This causes extra works in splitting and combining requests. So make the extra effort to call the merge_bvec_fn when it exists so that we end up with larger requests out the bottom.

2011-10-11md: removing typedefs: mdk_rdev_t -> struct md_rdevNeilBrown
The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h' which used to be an include file that defined this thing. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-06-24md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.NeilBrown
Most array level changes leave the list of devices largely unchanged, possibly causing one at the end to become redundant. However conversions between RAID0 and RAID10 need to renumber all devices (except 0). This renumbering is currently being done in the ->run method when the new personality takes over. However this is too late as the common code in md.c might already have invalidated some of the devices if they had a ->raid_disk number that appeared to high. Moving it into the ->takeover method is too early as the array is still active at that time and wrong ->raid_disk numbers could cause confusion. So add a ->new_raid_disk field to mdk_rdev_s and use it to communicate the new raid_disk number. Now the common code knows exactly which devices need to be renumbered, and which can be invalidated, and can do it all at a convenient time when the array is suspend. It can also update some symlinks in sysfs which previously were not be updated correctly. Reported-by: Maciej Trela <maciej.trela@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-06-16md: remove mddev_to_conf "helper" macroNeilBrown
Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful. I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private, than have to know what the macro does. So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-16md: raid0: remove ->dev pointer from strip_zone structureNeilBrown
If we treat conf->devlist more like a 2 dimensional array, we can get the devlist for a particular zone simply by indexing that array, so we don't need to store the pointers to subarrays in strip_zone. This makes strip_zone smaller and so (hopefully) searches faster. Signed-of-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-16md: raid0: remove ->sectors from the strip_zone structure.NeilBrown
storing ->sectors is redundant as is can be computed from the difference z->zone_end - (z-1)->zone_end The one place where it is used, it is just as efficient to use a zone_end value instead. And removing it makes strip_zone smaller, so they array of these that is searched on every request has a better chance to say in cache. So discard the field and get the value from elsewhere.

2009-06-16md: raid0: Remove hash spacing and sector shift.Andre Noll
The "sector_shift" and "spacing" fields of struct raid0_private_data were only used for the hash table lookups. So the removal of the hash table allows get rid of these fields as well which simplifies create_strip_zones() and raid0_run() quite a bit.

2009-06-16md: raid0: Remove hash table.Andre Noll
The raid0 hash table has become unused due to the changes in the previous patch. This patch removes the hash table allocation and setup code and kills the hash_table field of struct raid0_private_data. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-06-16md: raid0: Replace hash table lookup by looping over all strip_zones.Andre Noll
The number of strip_zones of a raid0 array is bounded by the number of drives in the array and is in fact much smaller for typical setups. For example, any raid0 array containing identical disks will have only a single strip_zone. Therefore, the hash tables which are used for quickly finding the strip_zone that holds a particular sector are of questionable value and add quite a bit of unnecessary complexity. This patch replaces the hash table lookup by equivalent code which simply loops over all strip zones to find the zone that holds the given sector. In order to make this loop as fast as possible, the zone->start field of struct strip_zone has been renamed to zone_end, and it now stores the beginning of the next zone in sectors. This allows to save one addition in the loop. Subsequent cleanup patches will remove the hash table structure.

2009-03-31md: move lots of #include lines out of .h files and into .cNeilBrown
This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include other files. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-03-31md: move headers out of include/linux/raid/Christoph Hellwig
Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there are some uses from the outside.
