Adding the disk worked incorrectly with the new reload code. Fix it:

 - No operation should be performed on rdev marked as Candidate
 - After a metadata update operation, kick disk if role is 0xfffe
   else clear Candidate bit and continue with the regular change check.
 - Saving the mode of the lock resource to check if token lock is already
   locked, because it can be called twice while adding a disk. However,
   unlock_comm() must be called only once.
 - add_new_disk() is called by the node initiating the --add operation.
   If it needs to be canceled, call add_new_disk_cancel(). The operation
   is completed by md_update_sb() which will write and unlock the
   communication.

<title>md-cluster: Perform resync/recovery under a DLM lock</title>

Resync or recovery must be performed by only one node at a time.
A DLM lock resource, resync_lockres provides the mutual exclusion
so that only one node performs the recovery/resync at a time.

If a node is unable to get the resync_lockres, because recovery is
being performed by another node, it set MD_RECOVER_NEEDED so as
to schedule recovery in the future.

Remove the debug message in resync_info_update()
used during development.

<title>md-cluster: Use a small window for resync</title>

<content type='text'>
Suspending the entire device for resync could take too long. Resync
in small chunks.

cluster's resync window (32M) is maintained in r1conf as
cluster_sync_low and cluster_sync_high and processed in
raid1's sync_request(). If the current resync is outside the cluster
resync window:

1. Set the cluster_sync_low to curr_resync_completed.
2. Check if the sync will fit in the new window, if not issue a
   wait_barrier() and set cluster_sync_low to sector_nr.
3. Set cluster_sync_high to cluster_sync_low + resync_window.
4. Send a message to all nodes so they may add it in their suspension
   list.

bitmap_cond_end_sync is modified to allow to force a sync inorder
to get the curr_resync_completed uptodate with the sector passed.

<content type='text'>
During a node failure, We need to suspend read balancing so that the
reads are directed to the first device and stale data is not read.
Suspending writes is not required because these would be recorded and
synced eventually.

A new flag MD_CLUSTER_SUSPEND_READ_BALANCING is set in recover_prep().
area_resyncing() will respond true for the entire devices if this
flag is set and the request type is READ. The flag is cleared
in recover_done().

When "re-add" is writted to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state,
the clustered md:

1. Sends RE_ADD message with the desc_nr. Nodes receiving the message
   clear the Faulty bit in their respective rdev-&gt;flags.
2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes
   and copies them into the local bitmap. It does not clear the bitmap
   from which it is copying.
3. Initiating node schedules a md recovery to sync the devices.

This adds "remove" capabilities for the clustered environment.
When a user initiates removal of a device from the array, a
REMOVE message with disk number in the array is sent to all
the nodes which kick the respective device in their own array.

This facilitates the removal of failed devices.

A --cluster-confirm without an --add (by another node) can
crash the kernel.

Fix it by guarding it using a state.

Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
   using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
   was found:
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
	 disc.number set to slot number)
   ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
   as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.
