bitmap API (include/linux/bitmap.h) has 'bitmap' prefix for its methods.

On the other hand MD bitmap API is special case.
Adding 'md' prefix to it to avoid name space collision.

No functional changes intended.

<title>raid5-ppl: PPL support for disks with write-back cache enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to provide data consistency with PPL for disks with write-back
cache enabled all data has to be flushed to disks before next PPL
entry. The disks to be flushed are marked in the bitmap. It's modified
under a mutex and it's only read after PPL io unit is submitted.

A limitation of 64 disks in the array has been introduced to keep data
structures and implementation simple. RAID5 arrays with so many disks are
not likely due to high risk of multiple disks failure. Such restriction
should not be a real life limitation.

With write-back cache disabled next PPL entry is submitted when data write
for current one completes. Data flush defers next log submission so trigger
it when there are no stripes for handling found.

As PPL assures all data is flushed to disk at request completion, just
acknowledge flush request when PPL is enabled.

about each recovery by default will help the system admin monitor the

In do_md_run(), md threads should not wake up until the array is fully
initialized in md_run(). However, in raid5_run(), raid5-cache may wake
up mddev-&gt;thread to flush stripes that need to be written back. This
design doesn't break badly right now. But it could lead to bad bug in
the future.

This patch tries to resolve this problem by splitting start up work
into two personality functions, run() and start(). Tasks that do not
require the md threads should go into run(), while task that require
the md threads go into start().

r5l_load_log() is moved to raid5_start(), so it is not called until
the md threads are started in do_md_run().

r5c_journal_mode_set() is called by r5c_journal_mode_store() and
raid_ctr() in dm-raid. We don't need mddev_lock() when calling from
raid_ctr(). This patch fixes this by moves the mddev_lock() to
r5c_journal_mode_store().

<title>md: remove special meaning of -&gt;quiesce(.., 2)</title>

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call -&gt;quiesce(.., 1); -&gt;quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.
