When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on
whether a bitmap is in use) queues to the main request queue.
So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure
the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5
queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If
something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on
the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will
plug and unplug the queue fairly soon, but there is a risk that nothing will.

We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.
However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.
So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a
reshape or recovery that needs to be completed).
We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in
particular before queue->queuedata is set. If the thread actually starts
very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata
and oops.
This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if a reshape is
being restarted.

I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because the raid5
device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state. This shouldn't be able to happen as
3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged. However it happens
none-the-less. This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do,
though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases.
Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this workaround in
place.

Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly
detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device
(see patch below).
My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the
policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions.
When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy
field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field.
This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be
'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because
partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

When write() extends a file(i_size is increased) and fsync() is called,
change of inode must be written to journaling area through fsync().
But,currently the i_trans_id is not correctly updated when i_size is
increased. So fsync() does not kick the journal writer.
Reiserfs_file_write() already updates the transaction when blocks are
allocated, but the case when i_size increases and new blocks are not added
is not correctly treated.
Following patch fix this bug.

Problem:
In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by
activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to
another. This has two undesirable effects:
1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the
scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.)
2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least,
this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to
deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious
as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of
the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is
the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate
due to inter CPU drift.
Solution:
Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().
