Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.

The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.

The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for RAID10 inclusion in dm-raid, we move the sectors_per_dev
calculation later in the device creation process.  This is because we won't
know up-front how many stripes vs how many mirrors there are which will
change the calculation.

<content type='text'>
There are two dm crypt structures that have a field called "pending".

This patch renames them to "cc_pending" and "io_pending" to reduce confusion
and ease searching the code.

Also remove unnecessary initialisation of r in crypt_convert_block().

<content type='text'>
Remove the restriction that limits a target's specified maximum incoming
I/O size to be a power of 2.

Rename this setting from 'split_io' to the less-ambiguous 'max_io_len'.
Change it from sector_t to uint32_t, which is plenty big enough, and
introduce a wrapper function dm_set_target_max_io_len() to set it.
Use sector_div() to process it now that it is not necessarily a power of 2.

<title>DM RAID: Use md_error() in place of simply setting Faulty bit</title>

When encountering an error while reading the superblock, call md_error.

We are currently setting the 'Faulty' bit on one of the array devices when an
error is encountered while reading the superblock of a dm-raid array.  We should
be calling md_error(), as it handles the error more completely.

Missing dm-raid devices should be recorded in the superblock

When specifying the devices that compose a DM RAID array, it is possible to denote
failed or missing devices with '-'s.  When this occurs, we must record this in the
superblock.  We do this by checking if the array position's data device is missing
and then forcing MD to record the superblock by setting 'MD_CHANGE_DEVS' in
'raid_resume'.  If we do not cause the superblock to be rewritten by the resume
function, it is possible for a stale superblock to be written by an out-going
in-active table (during 'raid_dtr').

<title>DM RAID: Set recovery flags on resume</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47525e59e40ffb8cbc944c0055e9c4902cd3ee99</id>
<content type='text'>
Properly initialize MD recovery flags when resuming device-mapper devices.

When a device-mapper device is suspended, all I/O must stop.  This is done by
calling 'md_stop_writes' and 'mddev_suspend'.  These calls in-turn manipulate
the recovery flags - including setting 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'.  The DM device
may have been suspended while recovery was not yet complete, so the process
needs to pick-up where it left off.  Since 'mddev_resume' does not unset
'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' and set 'MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED', we must do it ourselves.
'MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED' can safely be set in 'mddev_resume', but 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'
must be set outside of 'mddev_resume' due to how MD handles RAID reshaping.
(e.g.  It is possible for a user to delay reshaping a RAID5-&gt;RAID6 by purposefully
setting 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'.  Clearing it in 'mddev_resume' would override the
desired behavior.)

Because 'mddev_resume' already unconditionally calls 'md_wakeup_thread(mddev-&gt;thread)'
there is no need to make this call from 'raid_resume' since it calls 'mddev_resume'.

Also clean up where  level_store calls mddev_resume() - it current
duplicates some of the funcitons of that call. - NB
