<title>md: Set MD_BROKEN for RAID1 and RAID10</title>

<content type='text'>
There is no direct mechanism to determine raid failure outside
personality. It is done by checking rdev-&gt;flags after executing
md_error(). If "faulty" flag is not set then -EBUSY is returned to
userspace. -EBUSY means that array will be failed after drive removal.

Mdadm has special routine to handle the array failure and it is executed
if -EBUSY is returned by md.

There are at least two known reasons to not consider this mechanism
as correct:
1. drive can be removed even if array will be failed[1].
2. -EBUSY seems to be wrong status. Array is not busy, but removal
   process cannot proceed safe.

-EBUSY expectation cannot be removed without breaking compatibility
with userspace. In this patch first issue is resolved by adding support
for MD_BROKEN flag for RAID1 and RAID10. Support for RAID456 is added in
next commit.

The idea is to set the MD_BROKEN if we are sure that raid is in failed
state now. This is done in each error_handler(). In md_error() MD_BROKEN
flag is checked. If is set, then -EBUSY is returned to userspace.

As in previous commit, it causes that #mdadm --set-faulty is able to
fail array. Previously proposed workaround is valid if optional
functionality[1] is disabled.

Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard
support, similar to what is done for write zeroes.

The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver,
which must clear discard support for security reasons by default,
even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

Pull NVMe write streams removal from Jens Axboe:
 "This removes the write streams support in NVMe. No vendor ever really
  shipped working support for this, and they are not interested in
  supporting it.

  With the NVMe support gone, we have nothing in the tree that supports
  this. Remove passing around of the hints.

  The only discussion point in this patchset imho is the fact that the
  file specific write hint setting/getting fcntl helpers will now return
  -1/EINVAL like they did before we supported write hints. No known
  applications use these functions, I only know of one prototype that I
  help do for RocksDB, and that's not used. That said, with a change
  like this, it's always a bit controversial. Alternatively, we could
  just make them return 0 and pretend it worked. It's placement based
  hints after all"
