<content type='text'>
commit 51e9ac77035a3dfcb6fc0a88a0d80b6f99b5edb1 upstream.

If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while
resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock.
Fix this be elevating -&gt;nr_waiting for the duration of both
parts of the split request.

This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22
but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons.
It is suitable for and -stable since then.

<title>md: Fix read balancing in RAID1 and RAID10 on drives &gt; 2TB</title>

commit af3a2cd6b8a479345786e7fe5e199ad2f6240e56 upstream.

read_balance uses a "unsigned long" for a sector number which
will get truncated beyond 2TB.
This will cause read-balancing to be non-optimal, and can cause
data to be read from the 'wrong' branch during a resync.  This has a
very small chance of returning wrong data.

<title>md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better.</title>

commit 627a2d3c29427637f4c5d31ccc7fcbd8d312cd71 upstream.

If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.

So instead set max_phys_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.

This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

Both raid1 and raid10 create a mempool during startup.
If the 'alloc' function for this mempool fails, unplug_slaves
is called.
If that happens when the pool is being initialised, unplug_slaves
will try to use the 'conf' structure that isn't filled in yet, and
badness will happen.

So ensure that unplug_slaves doesn't get called unless we know
that the conf structure if fully initialised.

During 'check' of a raid1 or raid10 it is possible for the management
thread to spend a lot of time running 'memcmp' on blocks from
different devices, so make sure the thread has a chance to schedule.
raid5d already has a cond_resched (in process_stripe).

Recently Jens has changed bio_rw_flagged() logic by following
commit 1f98a13f623e0ef666690a18c1250335fc6d7ef1. Now it returns
bool instead of int. This broke raid1/raid10 RW bits manipulation logic.
One of visible result is BUG_ON triggering due to empty barrier
here scsi_lib.c:1108 scsi_setup_fs_cmnd()

The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called
mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and
can be confusion.

So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality
unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given.

This is simpler and more correct.
