Call the flush callback from the log.

If flush failed, we have no alternative but to mark the whole log as dirty.
Also we set the variable flush_failed to prevent any bits ever being marked as
clean again.

Introduce a callback pointer from the log to dm-raid1 layer.

Before some region is set as "in-sync", we need to flush hardware cache on
all the disks. But the log module doesn't have access to the mirror_set
structure. So it will use this callback.

So far the callback is unused, it will be used in further patches.

Introduce "flush failed" variable.  When a flush before clearing a bit
in the log fails, we don't know anything about which which regions are
in-sync and which not.

So we need to set all regions as not-in-sync and set the variable
"flush_failed" to prevent setting the in-sync bit in the future.

A target reload is the only way to get out of this situation.

The variable will be set in following patches.

<title>dm raid1: split touched state into two</title>

Split the variable "touched" into two, "touched_dirtied" and
"touched_cleaned", set when some region was dirtied or cleaned.

This will be used to optimize flushes.

After a transition from "dirty" to "clean" state we don't have flush hardware
cache on the log device. After a transition from "clean" to "dirty" the cache
must be flushed.

Before a transition from "clean" to "dirty" state we don't have to flush all
the raid legs. Before a transition from "dirty" to "clean" we must flush all
the legs to make sure that they are really in sync.

Use i_size_read() instead of reading i_size.

If someone changes the size of the device simultaneously, i_size_read
is guaranteed to return a valid value (either the old one or the new one).

i_size can return some intermediate invalid value (on 32-bit computers
with 64-bit i_size, the reads to both halves of i_size can be interleaved
with updates to i_size, resulting in garbage being returned).

<title>block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size</title>

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

Remove the 'dm_dirty_log_internal' structure.  The resulting cleanup
eliminates extra memory allocations.  Therefore exposing the internal
list_head to the external 'dm_dirty_log_type' structure is a worthwhile
compromise.
