dm raid: add raid level takeover support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add raid level takeover support allowing arbitrary takeovers between
raid levels supported by md personalities (i.e. raid0, raid1/10 and
raid4/5/6):

 - add rs_config_{backup|restore} function to allow for temporary
   storing ctr requested layout changes and restore them for takeover
   conersion decision after the superblocks got loaded and analyzed

 - add members to store layout to 'struct raid_set' (not mandatory
   for takeover but needed for reshape in later patch)

 - add rebuild_disks bitfield to 'struct raid_set' and set bits in ctr
   to use in setting up takeover (base to address a 'rebuild' related
   raid_status() table line bug and needed as well for reshape in future
   patch)

 - add runtime flags and respective manipulation functions to be able to
   control e.g. wrting of superlocks to the preresume function on
   takeover and (later) reshape

 - add functions to detect takeover, check it's valid (mandatory here to
   avoid failing on md_run()), setup for it and use in the ctr; those
   will be likely moved out once reshaping gets added to simplify the
   ctr

 - start raid set readonly in ctr and switch to readwrite, optionally
   updating superblocks, in preresume in order to allow suspend to
   quiesce any active table before (which involves superblock updates);
   this ensures the proper sequence of writing the current and any new
   takeover(/reshape) metadata
