* [PATCH] md: check return value of write_page, rather than ignore itNeilBrown2005-06-21

* [PATCH] md: improve debug-printing of bitmap superblock.NeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | - report sync_size properly - need /2 to convert sectors to KB - move everything over 2 spaces to allow proper spelling of "events cleared".

| | | | | | | A u64 is not an unsigned long long. On power4 it is `long', and printk warns. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] md: make sure md bitmap is cleared on a clean start.NeilBrown2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the array-wide clean bit (in the superblock) is set more agressively than the bits in the bitmap are cleared, it is possible to have an array which is clean despite there being bits set in the bitmap. These bits will currently never get cleared, as they can only be cleared by a resync pass, which never happens. No, when reading bits from disk, be aware of whether the whole array is known to be in sync, and act accordingly.

* [PATCH] md: optimised resync using Bitmap based intent loggingNeilBrown2005-06-21
With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all sectors are complete. After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated. Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in this patch. Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a separate device. The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities to bitmap intent logging. Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal impact on such arrays.
